Cost-effective, high flow capacity, and highly versatile — the SMC series air preparation units are truly all-purpose solutions for pneumatic systems. They are suitable for most applications below 1.0 MPa, meeting the needs of standard industrial operations while offering a more competitive price without compromising stability and reliability. Fokca’s SMC series air preparation units are made from lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy and manufactured through fully automated precision machining, ensuring consistent quality. Most models feature copper filter elements and copper differential pressure drains for long-lasting durability. Multiple configuration options are available, including filtration accuracy, drain type, pressure regulation range, and body color.
An SMC series air preparation unit typically consists of an air filter, regulator, and lubricator. Its function is to process compressed air from an air compressor through three stages—filtration, pressure regulation, and lubrication—to deliver a “clean, stable, and lubricated” air supply to downstream actuators such as cylinders, valves, and pneumatic tools. This helps extend equipment lifespan, ensure operational stability, and improve product quality.
Fokca’s SMC series air preparation units are known for being cost-effective, widely applicable, and highly versatile. The product range includes AC series FRL units, AW series filter regulators, AF series air filters, AR series regulators, and AL series lubricators—providing reliable and economical air solutions for automation equipment.

Step 1: Determine Required Function
| Requirement | Recommended Product |
|---|---|
| Filtration only | AF Series Air Filter |
| Pressure regulation only | AR Series Regulator |
| Lubrication only | AL Series Lubricator |
| Filtration + Regulation | AW Series Filter Regulator |
| Filtration + Regulation + Lubrication (space available) | AC Series Modular FRL |
| Filtration + Regulation + Lubrication (space limited) | AC Series 2-in-1 FRL |
Step 2: Select Port Size
· G1/8" ~ G1/4": Small equipment, single machines, end-effectors
· G3/8" ~ G1/2": Medium production lines, multi-cylinder systems
· G3/4" ~ G1": Large equipment, main air supply lines
Step 3: Confirm Thread Standard
· BSPP (G): Parallel thread
· BSPT (R): Tapered thread
· NPT: American tapered thread
Step 4: Choose Filtration Precision
