SMC Corporation AFM30-N03-WZ-A Mist Separator

SMC AFM30-N03-WZ-A Mist Separator is a compact 3/8" port oil-mist separator in the AFM series, designed to remove oil mist from compressed air before downstream components. It uses a single modular body that integrates the filtration element and containment bowl for straightforward mounting in typical automation lines. The part number specifies 3/8" (NPT) ports with an option set denoted by the WZ-A configuration, and it is configured for up to 150 PSI working pressure, making it suitable for standard factory air systems. In AFM30 configurations, flow is commonly oriented left-to-right, aligning with conventional panel-mount and machine-side piping. This mist separator is intended to protect actuators, cylinders, valves, and pneumatic tools from oil carryover, helping maintain performance and extend the life of downstream equipment in applications such as manufacturing automation, CNC machinery, and general pneumatic tooling setups. The AFM family is categorized as a Clean Series mist separator, emphasizing a compact form factor and compatibility with SMC’s broader air-treatment ecosystem.
