Hydraulic and pneumatic couplings and accessories

May 2001 Pneumatics & Hydraulics

The Staubli quick-coupling range came about, and is in constant development in the context of partnership with industrial users, to cover all industrial applications.

Examples include:

* Standard applications in compressed air, hydraulics, automotive industry.

* Specialists in paint lines or tailormade applications based on its RBE multicombinations 'All fluid' couplings (water, solvent, oils, vacuum, stream, etc).

* High-tech applications in nuclear, aerospace, offshore and railways.

Hydraulics & Pneumatics' products are designed with the following goals:

* Automatic and ergonomic (lightweight and compact for ease of operation).

* Safety of operation: anti hose-whip on compressed air, flash-back and gas arrestor on welding torches, noninterchangeable safety keys for dangerous gases, safety blowguns.

* Reliability and quality: long-term leak-tight technology to give a low cost of utilisation.

* The RCS range carries a five-year warranty on all material defects.

Based on its quick coupling, the product range also includes a complete choice of equipment for distribution of compressed air and fluids:

* Fittings and tubing.

* Hoses and flexibles for different types of fluids and operating conditions.

* Valve, cylinders and accessories.

* Timers and filters for treating compressed air.

* A range of accessories for connections (clamps, ball valves, pipe adapters in brass, steel and stainless steel 316 is also available).
