Pneumatikanschlüsse

Pneumatikanschlüsse, also known as pneumatic fittings or connectors, are essential components in pneumatic systems. They are used to connect various pneumatic devices such as cylinders, valves, and air preparation units to compressed air lines. These connections ensure the safe and efficient flow of compressed air throughout the system.

There are several types of pneumatic connections, each designed for specific applications and pressure requirements. Common types include threaded connections, push-in fittings, and quick-release couplings. Threaded connections, often made of brass or stainless steel, are robust and provide a secure seal, typically used in industrial environments. Push-in fittings, usually made of plastic or metal, offer a quick and easy way to connect and disconnect tubing, ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments. Quick-release couplings allow for rapid connection and disconnection of pneumatic tools or lines without the need for specialized tools, commonly found in workshops and assembly lines.

The material of pneumatic connections is crucial for their performance and longevity. Common materials include brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and various types of plastics like POM (polyoxymethylene) and nylon. The choice of material depends on factors such as the operating pressure, temperature, chemical resistance, and the type of tubing being used. Sealing mechanisms, such as O-rings or conical seals, are integrated into the fittings to prevent leaks and maintain system integrity. Proper selection and installation of pneumatic connections are vital for the reliable and safe operation of any pneumatic system.
