Swing safety coupling I.D. 5.5, ARO 210, Steel, G 1/2 IT - Riegler 141597

Swing safety coupling I.D. 5.5, ARO 210, Steel, G 1/2 IT, Operating pressure max. 25 bar, Temp. -20 °C to 100 °C Swing safety coupling with free passage. The plug-in nipple is inserted into the coupling body and rotated by an approx. 90° motion to make the connection. As soon as the red ring clicks into the intended slot then a secure connection has been made. To release the connection again, the red ring must be pulled out and the plug-in nipple is swivelled to the stopper into the starting position. Venting is done during uncoupling through a vent hole on the back side of the coupling. This coupling meets ISO standard DIN EN ISO 4414, EN 983. Areas of application: Pneumatic system, machine and plant engineering, measurement, monitoring and control systems, manufacturing industry, workshops, automotive.

About Safety couplings

A safety coupling vents the hose before it releases the plug, so the line cannot whip around on disconnection. Coupling is done one-handed by pushing the plug in, uncoupling takes two steps via the locking sleeve. Operating pressure runs from 12 to 35 bar depending on the range.

What matters when choosing

• Plug profile and nominal size have to match the plugs already in use. Both are listed in the technical data of each article and act as the first filter before anything else.
• The connection is available as female and male thread in G 1/4 to G 3/4 and in NPT 1/4 to NPT 1/2. Choose NPT only where the installation is already built on that thread.
• The housing decides weight and durability. Nickel-plated brass and QPQ-treated steel are the workshop standard, anodised aluminium and glass fibre reinforced PA6 GF 30 save weight, stainless steel 1.4404 withstands wet and chemical areas.
• Operating pressure of 12 to 35 bar varies by range. Some versions work down to -0.95 bar and therefore cover vacuum as well, and flow rate is stated as 1350 l/min (air).
• For the seal, NBR covers normal service and FKM higher temperatures. Medium temperature runs from -20 °C to 60 °C or to 150 °C depending on the version.

Typical applications

• Air take-off points on workshop manifolds where hoses are swapped several times a day
• Connecting air tools such as impact wrenches and grinders at assembly stations
• Hose reels and wall outlets where a recoiling hose would put people at risk
• Test and filling stations handling gases that must be vented under control
• Wet or outdoor installations using couplings in stainless steel 1.4404

The released media are compressed air and gases, sealing is done with NBR or FKM. The range includes the Bi-Tec, DKSK and SEK series, 252 articles in total with overall lengths from 43 to 235 mm.
