Camlock and Quick Coupling Systems
Camlock:
Camlock connections are one of the commonly used quick coupling systems in industrial applications. This system is designed to securely and quickly connect and disconnect different fluids. Camlock connections are typically made of metal or durable plastic materials and come in various sizes and types.
Camlock connections are a time-saving and efficiency-boosting solution during the transfer of liquids or gases between industrial equipment. Standard camlock connections include different models such as Type A, Type B, Type C, Type D, Type E, and Type F. Each type has specific features tailored to particular application needs.
Quick Coupling:
Quick coupling systems also provide a fast and reliable connection solution. These systems are often used in industrial machinery, hydraulic systems, pneumatic applications, and compressed air equipment. Quick couplings enable users to rapidly connect and disconnect equipment, thus speeding up work processes.
Quick coupling systems typically consist of compatible male and female parts. They are equipped with a handle or button for making or breaking the connection. These systems provide a quick and effective connection during the transfer of liquids or gases.
Both systems are quick connection solutions that facilitate ease of use in industrial applications, streamlining work processes for optimized efficiency.
Staubli SPX Product and Hydraulic Connection Advancements
Stäubli's SPX product, developed with quick movement technology, brings significant convenience to every application where hydraulic fluid is utilized. Often, when connecting and disconnecting quick connection elements used in hydraulic lines, considerable difficulties are encountered. Even if the oil in the line is drained, a remaining residual pressure can make attaching and detaching connection elements challenging. Users typically resort to using a hammer and screwdriver to release this pressure, causing damage to the equipment and reducing its lifespan.
Surface irregularities on the male and female parts of the connection element's profile and head can render the connection element unusable. With the Stäubli SPX/PA option, such problems are eliminated. In the PA option, a needle mechanism in the intake areas of the connection elements captures the pressure by bleeding the line during the connection process. This ensures that the user encounters no residual pressure during the connection, allowing for an easy and damage-free connection process. The risk of damaging the equipment to release pressure is thus eliminated when draining pressure from the line.
