The SMC 10-IRV20-C06 is a clean room specification vacuum regulator from the IRV20 series with standard connections and 6mm tube fitting. Part number decoded: IRV = vacuum regulator, 20 = size 20 body, C06 = 6mm one-touch push-in tube fitting. The IRV series regulates vacuum pressure to a consistent set point, preventing over-vacuum conditions that can damage delicate workpieces or cause excessive suction cup deformation in clean room vacuum handling applications.
Why is vacuum regulation important in clean rooms? Unregulated vacuum lines deliver variable suction levels depending on supply pressure, line losses, and the number of active vacuum points. This causes inconsistent gripping force on wafers, glass panels, thin films, and other fragile workpieces. The IRV20 maintains a stable vacuum set point regardless of upstream fluctuations, ensuring repeatable handling force that is strong enough to grip securely but gentle enough to prevent workpiece damage or deformation. The 6mm one-touch fitting (C06) provides quick, tool-free tube connection.
The IRV20 is the larger body in the IRV family, offering higher flow capacity than the IRV10. For 4mm tube connections, specify IRV20-C04. For 8mm or 10mm connections, IRV20-C08 and IRV20-C10 are available. For precision positive pressure regulation rather than vacuum, the IR series (IR1000/2000/3000) covers that requirement. Compatible with SMC clean series vacuum generators (ZL series) and vacuum pads (ZP series). Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1. RoHS compliant.
