PARKER 06E13A13AC Pneumatic 1/4″ Series Air Filter Regulator 

The Parker 06E13A13AC Pneumatic 1/4″ Series Air Filter Regulator is a pneumatic component designed to regulate and filter compressed air systems, ensuring clean and stable airflow to pneumatic tools and equipment. Below is a detailed overview of this product:

Key Specifications:

• Manufacturer: Parker Hannifin — A leading manufacturer of motion and control technologies, including pneumatic components like air filter regulators.
• Part Number: 06E13A13AC — This specific part number identifies the model and series of the product.
• Size: 1/4″ — This refers to the size of the ports (inlet and outlet) for the pneumatic connections. A 1/4″ port is a standard size for many pneumatic applications, offering a good balance between flow rate and compactness.
• Type: Air Filter Regulator — This component combines two functions:
  • Air Filter: It removes contaminants like dirt, dust, and moisture from the compressed air before it reaches sensitive equipment.
  • Regulator: It controls the pressure of the air, ensuring a stable, consistent output pressure to the downstream equipment.
• Flow Rate: Medium Flow Capacity — Typically, regulators and filters in this size range are designed for standard pneumatic flow rates, ideal for medium-to-high-volume applications.
• Pressure Range: Usually, these units are designed for a standard pressure range of 0-150 psi (or similar), but specifics depend on the exact configuration.

Features:

1. Dual Functionality: The 06E13A13AC combines both an air filter and a pressure regulator in a single unit, which saves space and simplifies the installation of pneumatic systems.

   • Air Filter: Traps dirt, moisture, and oil from the compressed air, protecting downstream equipment like valves, actuators, and pneumatic tools.
   • Regulator: It adjusts the pressure of the air before it enters the pneumatic system, ensuring consistent and accurate pressure for optimum equipment performance.

2. Compact Size: The 1/4″ size makes it a compact, versatile component suitable for small to medium-sized systems or where space is limited.

3. Easy Pressure Adjustment: Typically equipped with a built-in knob or adjustment screw, the regulator allows users to easily set the desired air pressure for the downstream equipment.

4. Integrated Design: Combining both a filter and a regulator in one unit simplifies installation, as users don’t need to install separate components for filtration and pressure regulation.

5. Durable Construction: Designed for use in industrial environments, the Parker air filter regulator is built to withstand the rigors of compressed air systems, typically made with durable materials like aluminum or steel.

6. Visual Indicators: Many models feature clear bowls or viewing windows to monitor the filter’s condition and ensure maintenance is done when necessary (such as draining moisture).

Common Applications:

• Pneumatic Systems: Used in a wide range of industrial applications where compressed air is used, including automation, robotics, and assembly lines.
• Air Tools: Essential for air-powered tools to ensure the correct operating pressure and to prevent contamination that could damage the tools.
• Control Valves: Ensures that control valves operate within the correct pressure range for accurate control in processes like material handling or fluid control.
• Manufacturing Equipment: Protects equipment in factories that rely on pneumatic components, such as cylinder actuators, to ensure smooth and efficient operations.
• HVAC Systems: Sometimes used in pneumatic systems within HVAC equipment to regulate air pressure and filter contaminants.
