Detailed information

• 

  【For Compressed Air】 ● Safety-focused design with a two-step connector separation process to prevent hose disconnection (ISO 4414) ● Lightweight coupling ● One-handed operation ● Swivel coupling (360°) ● Scratch-resistant material

• 

  [For temperature management of molds, etc.] It is done by refrigerants or heat transfer fluids incorporated into the manufacturing line. Stobler provides unique know-how in such critical steps of the manufacturing process. Reduction of mold changeover time ● Optimization of flow efficiency (optimal design and material selection) ● Simplification of product installation: identification through ergonomic design and circuit visualization ● Temperature management throughout the manufacturing process

• 

  【Cooling for Electronic Equipment】 The electronic functions in various systems are becoming increasingly enhanced, creating a new necessity to cool this equipment. By using Stäubli products, equipment manufacturers can quickly assemble the compact components of their devices, while end users benefit from simplified maintenance tasks. ● Leak-proof sealing method (clean break, flat face coupling) ● Compact and lightweight material (material: special aluminum alloy) ● Consideration for operator safety (no leakage during attachment and detachment)

• 

  【For Various Fluids】 Stäubli's full fluid couplings, designed for use in various fields, can be selected according to the type of fluid, operating pressure, and operating temperature. ● Modular structure: selection of connection (locking) method, material, and seal type Stäubli offers products that meet different requirements based on their applications. ● Standard products or special safety locking systems ● Highest level of tightness to achieve optimal flow characteristics ● Protection for operators and work environments through flat face design (non-spill, sterile environments, etc.) ● Ease of use (visual identification through color discs) ● Prevention of incorrect connections with safety key options

• 

  【For Hydraulic Use】 Stäubli's quick couplings are highly reliable and offer excellent sealing properties, making them suitable for use under high-pressure conditions. By using them for the connection and disconnection of mineral oils, synthetic oils, and organic oils, maintenance of equipment machinery becomes easier, allowing for longer use of the machinery. ● Excellent flow efficiency without pressure loss ● Robust locking mechanism: ball type, claw type (resistant to vibration) ● Connection under residual pressure ● Flat face coupling with no liquid leakage ● High resistance materials

• 

  [For Filling] In the applications of fuel supply to vehicles and fuel transportation, Stäubli offers products that meet the demands for maintenance, safety, and cleanliness. ● Large Capacity Fuel Filling: Large-diameter quick couplings used between the fuel supply and the fuel tank. ● Electric Pump Fueling: Safe unlocking and liquid leakage prevention mechanism. ● Gravity-fed fueling during endurance races. ● In-vehicle connections: Quick installation/removal between the engine and tank. Advantages of Stäubli's Quick Couplings ● Easy maintenance inside vehicles: Quick and leak-free removal (from tanks, engines, etc.). ● Easy fuel filling operations: Rapid connection of various filling guns to the supply hose. ● Prevention of fuel line contamination (liquid leakage prevention, flush face coupling). ● Safe operations (decompression before separation, locking systems, etc.). ● Long-term reliability (technical expertise and material used).
