SMC ASP Series Speed Controller Flow Regulator, 3/8 in R R 3/8 in Tube 10 mm

SMC ASP Series Flow Regulator, 3/8 inches Inlet size, 10mm Outlet size - ASP530F-03-10S

This flow regulator controls pneumatic flow to manage actuator speed in industrial systems. It is built for general automation use, offering a Compact solution that operates across a typical industrial pressure and temperature span while connecting directly to tubing via a one‑touch outlet.

Features & Benefits

• Maximum operating pressure 1MPa delivers consistent control and stability
  Minimum operating pressure 0.1MPa enables accurate low‑pressure modulation
  Proof pressure 1.5MPa provides margin against transient spikes
  Maximum temperature 60°C permits use in warmed process environments
  One‑touch 10mm outlet simplifies tubing installation and removal
  Construction includes stainless steel and electroless nickel‑plated brass for corrosion resistance

**Applications**

• Suitable for controlling cylinder speed in automated conveyors
  Ideal for fine‑tuning pneumatic actuators in assembly equipment
  Used with laboratory pneumatic rigs requiring easy tubing swaps
  Can be used for machine tool Air preparation systems
  Used for flow adjustment in packaging and pick‑and‑place lines

What connection types are provided for inlet and outlet tubing?

The inlet uses a 3/8in R threaded connection to mate with standard R fittings, while the outlet is a one‑touch 10mm push‑in style for Rapid hose attachment.

Which materials contact the working fluid and what is their relevance?

Wetted parts comprise stainless steel, electroless nickel‑plated brass, POM and NBR, selected to balance wear resistance, dimensional stability and sealing performance in pneumatic circuits.

How does the unit cope with pressure transients?

It is rated to a proof pressure of 1.5MPa, offering headroom above normal operation to tolerate short‑term overpressure events without structural failure.

Are there temperature constraints for installation locations?

Operating temperatures range from −5°C to 60°C, so it should be mounted where ambient and process temperatures remain within that band.

Notes

Use caution with soft nylon or polyurethane at maximum pressure.
