Function Fittings

Function Fittings: Versatile Components for Pneumatic Systems

Function fittings are a type of pneumatic component that performs specific functions within a pneumatic system. They are designed to connect, control, or modify the flow of compressed air, providing essential functionality for various pneumatic applications.

Common types of function fittings include:

• Quick-connect fittings: These fittings provide a quick and easy way to connect and disconnect pneumatic components, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. They are available in various styles, including push-in, self-sealing, and bayonet couplings.
• Directional control valves: These valves control the direction of air flow within a pneumatic system. They are used to start, stop, or reverse the motion of pneumatic actuators.
• Pressure regulators: These components regulate the pressure of the compressed air supply, ensuring that it remains within the specified operating range. They are essential for protecting pneumatic components and ensuring consistent system performance.
• Filters: These components remove contaminants from the compressed air supply, preventing damage to pneumatic components and ensuring optimal system performance. They are available in various filter elements, including paper, sintered metal, and coalescing elements.
• Lubricators: These components add a controlled amount of lubricant to the compressed air supply, reducing friction and wear on pneumatic components. They are essential for maintaining the long-term reliability of pneumatic systems.
• Silencers: These components reduce the noise generated by pneumatic components, improving the working environment and protecting workers' hearing. They are available in various styles and sizes, depending on the specific application.
