Pneumatics
Couplings and quick connectors
Pneumatic and hydraulic couplings are precision-engineered fluid connectors rated for operating pressures from 10 bar (NW 2.7 miniature series) up to 400 bar (ISO 14541 hydraulic screw couplings), with nominal bore sizes spanning NW 5 through NW 19 for pneumatic quick-release designs and up to 2" BSP for camlock and Guillemin variants. Flat-face couplings conforming to ISO 16028 deliver residual-volume spillage below 0.1 cm³ per disconnect cycle, while temperature control couplings rated to 160 °C (NW 6-13 mm pin series) maintain dimensional integrity across thermal cycling in injection-moulding and press applications. Coded workshop couplings (NW 5 / NW 7.2) follow EN 563 colour-coding to prevent accidental cross-connection between air circuits operating at different pressures.
This catalogue covers 3,642 stocked coupling references across 28 subcategories - from ARO/ORION NW 5.5 and standard workshop NW 7.2 series through firefighting Storz/Guillemin couplings (DIN 14301) and EDBRO vehicle clutches to ISO 14540 hydraulic pipe couplings and Camlock Type A-F per MIL-C-27487. All series are sourced from OEM-qualified manufacturers and comply with the applicable DIN, ISO, and EN pressure-equipment directives (PED 2014/68/EU where relevant).
