0-5 PSI Pressure Regulator for Air and Water

These regulators are specifically engineered for plastic tubing extrusion applications including medical tubing and catheter manufacturing, automotive tubing production, and precision plastic profile extrusion. They excel in applications requiring ultra-low pressure control for maintaining consistent tubing diameter and tight wall tolerances across production runs.

The hysteresis-free regulating action means the regulator maintains consistent pressure output regardless of whether pressure is increasing or decreasing, eliminating the lag or memory effect common in standard regulators. This is critical for tubing extrusion because it ensures consistent diameter control and prevents pressure fluctuations that can cause product defects or wall thickness variations.

These regulators are engineered for a 10-25 year lifespan with stainless steel construction and damping fluid for stable operation without maintenance requirements. Customer testimonials confirm units operating flawlessly after 15 years of continuous use in production environments.

Yes, the MicroAir IV model features 0-10 volt input integration that allows seamless connection with PLC systems for automated control. This enables high-speed switching applications like bump tubing with faster cycle times without pressure overshoot, as demonstrated in production environments handling 30% faster cycles.

The regulators must be mounted vertically using four 5/16 diameter holes and require normal factory air regulated down to approximately 50 PSI input pressure for proper operation. Correct vertical mounting is essential for the regulator's damping fluid system to function properly and maintain hysteresis-free performance.

The regulators include a comprehensive 3-year warranty with unlimited phone support and technical assistance. The support team provides remote diagnosis and troubleshooting, with documented cases of resolving chronic pressure fluctuation issues in under two hours. Repairs are typically turned around in one business day to minimize production downtime.

The 30-turn precision knob control allows for extremely fine pressure adjustments necessary for maintaining tight wall tolerances and consistent tubing diameter. This level of control, combined with the regulator's ability to maintain constant pressure across varying flow rates, gives manufacturers a competitive advantage in achieving superior product quality and dimensional consistency.
