Re: A Beginner's Guide to Pneumatics

I have to admit that I scratch my head over some of the pneumatic rules & how they get interpreted. We use the recommended Norgren regulator because I have better things to do during robot inspection than discuss regulators & it is clear that the Norgren regulator is legal since it is recommended by part # in the rules. But going by what is in the rules, the Monnier regulator is legal.

The pneumatic manual is wrong in saying the recommended Norgren regulator has a maximum outlet pressure of 60 PSI. You can adjust it up to 100 psi which I do regularly in a non FRC application.

Since there is no port size restriction on the regulator, I have considered going to a bigger regulator to get more flow. But that is another topic.
