RS Components boosts pneumatics portfolio with latest innovations from SMC

Technews Industry Guide - Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Optimisation 2016 Pneumatics & Hydraulics

RS Components has expanded its Pneumatics, Hydraulics & Power Transmission portfolio by adding the latest innovations from SMC Pneumatics.

The rapid pace of new product introductions by SMC has added thousands of new part numbers to the RS line-up. The current range includes not only filters, regulators, lubricators (FRLs), valves, cylinders, pressure reducers, hoses and fittings for basic system design and maintenance, but also includes special products such as pressure boosters, flow switches, controllers and vacuum devices.

Recent additions to the SMC range include extremely compact SY7000 series solenoid valves, new AS series speed controllers with one-touch fittings in both metric and US imperial sizes, and extensions to the ZP2V vacuum-saving valve series adding the option of a one-touch fitting type. The latest generations deliver advantages such as greater convenience, space savings, versatility, and increased energy efficiency helping to lower operating costs and environmental impact.

RS works actively with SMC to ensure the best selection of products, and offers competitive prices with rapid delivery from stock.
