Dear
Reader
Have you
ever felt “Holiday Pressure”?
If just the smallest mention of
the word - holiday - brings you out in a hot sweat
– you’re not alone!
According
to some recent research undertaken at London’s
Heathrow Airport by a leading neurophysiologist,
Dr. David Lewis, the pulse rates of many travellers
in the terminals were higher than people undertaking
intense physical exercise in a gymnasium. Dr Lewis’s
findings showed that in some cases passengers’
heart rate rose up to 200 beats per minute which
is almost four times the resting heart rate of
a healthy human.
To put these results into even more perspective,
when these passengers also had their blood pressure
checked - in some cases, the readings were higher
than those experienced by riot policemen - when
confronting an angry stone throwing mob - or even
those experienced by top Formula 1 racing driver´s.
And that´s only just the stress at the airport
– without considering the other major family holiday
stresses such as; praying that you´ve picked the
right destination and accommodation, getting everything
finished and covered at work, packing and planning
and generally just trying to keep everyone happy!
Unfortunately, in these cases, SMC cannot help
you overcome this pressure... However, we can
definitely help ease your pneumatic concerns!
With this in mind, welcome to this special summer
edition of e-matters, our new, very cool, electronic
newsletter in Europe.

INNOVATION
AT A GLANCE |
| |
ARP
- our newly improved Direct Operated Precision Regulator
Series
|
| Precise
pressure adjustment with outstanding sensitivity |
| |
Our newly improved regulator Series ARP - guarantees
both precision & repeatability - thanks to its
precise pressure adjustment - as low as 0.2MPa and
extremely accurate repeatability - within a 1%.
Senitivity has also been dramatically improved and
they are now within 0,2% of Full Scale.
Extrafeatures of this newly - improved - modular
regulator range include digital pressure gauges
fitted as standard and reverse flow functionality. |
|
 |
|
Further benefits off selecting the ARP series are the
substantial reduction of air consumption - up to 80% less
than our previous models.
So
in summary, the new Series ARP offers - improved performance,
using less energy, meaning peace of mind and more money
savings for you; it´s as simple as that!

ZSE / ISE 30A – Improved Digital Pressure Switch 
 |
|
-
Reduced setting time – settings
can be copied onto 10 slave sensors at once; ensuring
significantly reduced labour costs!
- Easier connectability – now available with one-touch
fittings.
- Smaller – more compact, shorter in length.
- When compared to our previous models ISE/ZSE 30A
offer - a compound pressure option and two extra
output options.

| MY2H_MY2HT-XB20
– Mechanically jointed rodless cylinder featuring an Stroke
adjusting unit with adjustable bolt specifications
|
 |
|
This
new adjusting bolt design decreases the time delay
that´s normally experienced in cylinder performance
when shock absorption is used.
Similarly, these new cylinders maintain and adopt
exactly the same features as our extremely popular
Series MY2H_MY2HT - compact, low profile, great
load capacity and with the further option of being
able to handle larger work pieces mounted directly
on the cylinder.

You will find us on Stand A19 in Hall 2.
1st to 4th September 2008 |
 |
|
|
| As
August is traditionally considered to be
the main month for taking holidays – we
will also take a break in the production
and distribution of e-matter’s.
|
So,
just to confirm, e-matters will not be
published in August, but after a relaxing
break, we will be back with even more
topical news from SMC in September.
So, to all those readers planning to take
a break in August we would especially
like to wish you a safe, relaxing and
enjoyable vacation!!. |

Some
Basic Information from our Experts
Things to consider when buying a regulator - which are
sometimes forgotten!
Machines and machine tools using compressed air in their
operation require the correct air pressure to function
efficiently. Too much air pressure and they will literally
be overpowered and their life expectancy will be reduced
accordingly.
On the other hand, if a machine or machine tool is under-powered
– without sufficient air pressure - the performance can
suffer dramatically.
Obviously these facts are fairly obvious, but as we (SMC)
are committed to help ensure maximum pneumatic performance,
we thought that it might prove helpful to review some
of the basic information when selecting regulators.
So, when selecting and sizing a regulator the important
factors you need to consider are:
1. Normal line pressure.
2. Minimum and maximum required pressure
– as a guideline, please consider that the minimum and
maximum pressure should be within the middle third of
the regulator range.
3. Maximum flow required, at a given
regulated pressure.
4. Required accuracy
5. Environment and Place – operating
conditions and available space
6. Pipe size
7. Regulator adjustment frequency – always
consider the application, adjusting method, and user.
