SMC Pneumatická armatura, řada: KQ2

SMC KQ2 Series Pneumatic Fitting, 10 bar Maximum Operating Pressure, 60°C Maximum Operating Temperature - KQ2L12-00A

This pneumatic fitting is a Compact Union elbow designed to redirect pneumatic lines within industrial assemblies. It serves as a right-angle connector for tubing systems, providing a push-to-connect Interface compatible with common automation and mechanical installations. The component is suited to environments requiring moderate thermal tolerance and standardised connector geometry.

Features and Benefits:

• Constructed from polybutylene terephthalate for chemical resistance and light weight
  Rated to operate at pressures up to 10 bar for robust system performance
  Usable within a temperature span of -5 to 60°C for varied ambient conditions
  Conforms to JIS B0203 and JIS B0205 ensuring dimensional interchangeability
  Push-to-connect design enables quick tube replacement and minimal downtime

Applications

• Suitable for pneumatic control lines in automated assembly stations
  Ideal for Air distribution in electronic manufacturing equipment
  Used with compressed Air actuators in mechanical workshops
  Can be used for signal Air tubing in electrical control panels

What materials should be considered for compatibility with this connector?

The body is MADE from polybutylene terephthalate, so select tubing and fluids that do not degrade polyester-type thermoplastics.

How does the connector handle pressure surges in a compressed Air system?

Its maximum operating pressure is 10 bar, so system valves and regulators should limit transient peaks below this threshold to avoid overstress.

Are there specific cleaning or maintenance considerations for longevity?

Routine inspection for debris at connection points and avoidance of harsh solvents that attack polyester-based plastics will maintain sealing performance.

Can this elbow be used outdoors or in elevated-temperature processes?

It is temperature-rated for a minimum of -5°C and a maximum of 60°C, so it is suitable only where ambient and process temperatures remain within that band.
