In many industrial and medical applications, one aspect is key: precise pressure control. Whether it's air, CO₂, or liquids, a fluctuating inlet pressure must be reliably brought down to a stable output level. This is where mechanical diaphragm pressure regulators prove their value, with excellent control accuracy, robust design, and compatibility across multiple media. These regulators operate entirely mechanically, based on the principle of force equilibrium between medium pressure and spring force. This allows them to regulate pressure without any external power supply and to maintain it reliably. The result: accurate, passive regulation without electronics, ideal for many stationary and mobile applications in industrial and medical device technology.

 

 

Today’s pressure regulators must do more than just reduce pressure. They must be compact, durable, cost-efficient, and easy to integrate. Oursolutionsoffer:

  • Fabric-reinforced diaphragms for extended durability

  • Robust housing materials like PA66 (polyamide) or brass

  • Variants for limited installation space (miniature pressure regulators)

  • Media flexibility: air, water, CO₂, oxygen, drinking water

  • Modular configuration: tailored sealing, cover, housing, and connection types

 

Expert Florian Falk explains: “In sensitive applications such as analytical or medical technology, precise regulation with high repeatability is critical. That’s where our diaphragm pressure regulators really stand out.”

 

 

The path to optimal pressure control starts with an individual application analysis:

  • Which medium is to be regulated (e.g., dry air, oxygen, liquid)?

  • What pressure ranges are required (inlet and outlet)?

  • What is the expected flow rate?

  • What environmental conditions apply (temperature, hygiene, installation position)?

 

Based on these parameters, we use simulation data and real-world testing to determine the best technical and economic fit from our product range. In particularly sensitive applications, such as ventilation systems, we support our customers with in-depth standards knowledge and extensive experience regarding requirements such as biocompatibility.

 

 

Our pressure regulator portfolio supports a wide range of use cases – from classic industrial setups to demanding medical applications. This includes:

  • Plastic regulators: lightweight, compact, cost-effective

  • Plastic/brass combinations: for industrial and medical uses

  • Brass regulators: for wider pressure ranges and higher adjustable output pressure

  • Miniature regulators: ideal for space-constrained designs

  • Additional options: secondary venting, fixed factory presets, various connection types

This flexibility enables us to address the specific needs of different industries and devices.

 

 

The requirements on pressure regulators are constantly evolving – especially with regard to new regulatory standards, integration into smart systems, or use in highly sensitive medical applications. We are continuously developing our product lines to meet future needs – delivering innovative solutions that meet emerging norms, market expectations, and application challenges.

 

 

Pressure regulators are essential in countless applications and for good reason. They combine safety, precision, and efficiency in a single component. With our extensive experience and broad portfolio of mechanical diaphragm pressure regulators, we create customized solutions that are tailored exactly to our customers' needs – today and in the future.
