INNOVATIONS & SOLUTIONS
SMC releases three new products
SMC Corporation , three new products have been added to its product portfolio . The pneumatic and automation solutions company has added the new PFUW series flow sensor , CM2 series air cylinders , and SY5000 / 7000-X701 series pneumatic valve to its line of industrial products . SMC ’ s New PFUW Series Flow Sensor : The PFUW series of flow sensors promises simplified installation with its clamp mounting design and flexibility in use , giving “ eight zeros .” Available in two models , the sensor has a flow rate ranging from zero to 60 L / min for the PFUW760 model and a range of zero to 100 L / min for the PFUW711 . The sensor being fitted externally eliminates the need for in-pipe fitting , further eliminating the effects of the water hammer . The clamp-on installation method has the benefit of zero pressure loss and zero clogging . Additionally , the sensor ensures zero piping work and zero leakage . As a result of the sensor not being in direct contact with the fluid medium , there are zero concerns about foreign material entering the piping system . The New CM2 Series Pneumatic Cylinders : Available in 20mm , 25mm , 32mm , and 40mm diameter sizes , SMC ’ s new CM2 Series pneumatic cylinder
features a standard rod end bracket that can be interchanged when mounting to existing models . With a wide range of mounting bracket options , the new cylinders in the series offer improved flexibility in many installations . The New SY5000 / 7000-X701 Series Pneumatic Valve : SMC ’ s new SY5000 / 7000-X701 series 4-position dual 3-port pneumatic valve promises to bring efficiency and flexibility to small spaces and enhance industrial automation control . Integrating two independently operated 3-port valves into one body , the innovative design of the new valve series greatly reduces the number of stations required .
