Compressed air quick couplers , also known as air quick couplings or air intakes, are devices used in compressed air systems to facilitate the quick connection and disconnection of tools, equipment and hoses to the compressed air network. They are designed to save time and minimize air pressure loss when connecting or disconnecting components.
They facilitate quick tool changes and optimization of efficiency in work environments. These quick plugs consist of two parts: the male plug or adapter and the female socket or also called plug. The male part has a nipple that inserts into the female socket, and they usually have a locking lever that secures the connection. This allows compressed air to flow efficiently and prevents leaks.
There are countless quick-plug connection profiles, from 2 mm pitch to 25 mm pitch. There are several types of generalized profile such as UNI ISO-6150 B-12, DN-9 DIN6150-B15, 5 mm pitch mignon, etc. They are made of brass, stainless steel or plastic materials. They withstand a pressure of up to 15 bar and reach temperatures of up to 100ºC depending on the model.
There is a variety of plugs called safety plugs. A compressed air safety quick coupler is a crucial component in compressed air systems to ensure the safe and efficient connection and disconnection of tools and equipment. These quick couplers are designed to safely release residual air pressure upon disconnection, minimizing the risk of injury or damage.
Some common features of compressed air safety quick couplers include; Locking System: Many of these plugs require a two-step action to disconnect, preventing accidental disconnections. Pressure Relief Valve: Helps release residual pressure before disconnection. Quick Connect: Makes it easy to attach and disconnect tools and equipment.
Resistant materials: They are usually made of durable materials such as stainless steel or brass to resist pressure and wear. Safety marking: They must comply with safety regulations and be properly marked.
Compressed air quick couplers are common in all types of workshops, factories and industries and other industrial applications where compressed air is used to power pneumatic tools, machinery and other equipment. Even at a private level...
