Quick couplers are used in compressed air applications and hydraulic applications to connect fluid transfer lines without losing fluid pressure. They are designed to connect and disconnect immediately without the need of tools, eliminating the need to bleed the system, close valves or purge entrapped gas when tools are disconnected and replaced.
What comes to your mind when you picture factories that produce computer boards, cars and coffee grinders? Perhaps a robotic environment with a couple of computerized arms working in an assembly line? In reality, these labs are powered by dozens of pneumatic systems too.
Hoses are reliable tools to transfer compressed air into actuators and valves. They typically consist of an inner layer, spiral and braid fiber, and an outer layer. Together, the layers help control the air flow.
Pneumatic fittings are parts that are used to connect sections of tubes, pipes, and hoses in pneumatic systems. Pneumatic fittings are characterized by lower pressure requirements and tighter seals, compared to hydraulic fittings.
