Multiple tube system keeps pneumatics neater
Neater installation in pneumatic circuits, ease of identification and greater protection are just some of the benefits of a new Multitube system of compressed air nylon tubing from Legris.
Typical applications for use of the multi-connector include pneumatic control systems, robotics, process automation, signal transfer and automatic sampling.
Other uses include gas analysis and sensing within explosion-proof environments.
The Legris multi-connector is ideally suited to the company's Multitube system in which as many as 12 tubes are encased in a sheath for safe, tidy and protected installation.
The connector is available for tubes of 4,6 and 8mm outside diameter, in configurations of 2,4,7 and 12 tubes.
For ease of installation, each tube is numbered, a location pin helps to avoid assembly errors and tubes are guided into position through a cap.
It can be used as a stand-alone connector or within a bulkhead.
Working pressure is up to 18 bar and temperature range is between -20C and +80C.
