What Is a Pneumatic Fitting?
A pneumatic fitting refers to a connecting component or joint used in pneumatic systems that utilize compressed air.
These fittings are used in connection parts such as compressed air tubes and come in various types, including push-in connectors. Since they are designed for use in pneumatic systems where the efficient and reliable transmission of compressed air is crucial, they are constructed to prevent air leakage. Pneumatic fittings come in a diverse range of sizes and shapes to accommodate the connection of various components such as cylinders and valves.
Due to constant exposure to gases and the application of loads at connection points, these fittings are often made from highly durable materials, with metals like stainless steel being the most common. Additionally, non-metallic fittings made from materials like PPS resin, known for their excellent flame resistance and chemical resistance, are also available.
