Description
The SMC VBA10A-02GN is a new, original air-operated booster regulator from the VBA series, designed to amplify air pressure in pneumatic systems. This device uses a low-pressure pilot signal (typically 0.1–0.8 MPa) to control a high-pressure output (up to 1.0 MPa or higher, depending on supply), enabling precise pressure intensification for applications requiring higher force than standard regulators can provide. It is commonly used in clamping, pressing, and testing systems where space constraints prevent the use of large bore cylinders.
Key Features
- Booster Type: Air-operated, pilot-controlled diaphragm or piston actuator
- Port Size: 1/4″ (Rc1/4, NPT1/4, or G1/4 depending on variant)
- Max Supply Pressure: 1.0 MPa (standard, higher available in other models)
- Pilot Signal Range: 0.1–0.8 MPa (controls output proportionally)
- Boost Ratio: Typically 1:2 to 1:5 (input signal to output pressure)
- Body Material: Die-cast aluminum (anodized) or zinc alloy
- Diaphragm Material: NBR (standard) or optional FKM for oil resistance
- Mounting: Bracket mount or direct pipeline mounting
- Accessories: Optional pressure gauge port, silencer for exhaust
