Pneumatics at heart of bearing assembly system
Precision pneumatic controls from SMC Pneumatics are at the heart of innovative new automatic assembly systems, designed for Sarnatech BNL to make bearing assemblies
Cleaning, assembly and packaging are performed in a clean room, to ensure the ultimate in product integrity.
The new fittings from SMC Pneumatics virtually eliminate particle generation and total organic carbon, giving confident use in the most demanding, controlled clean environments.
These High Purifity Fluororesin Fittings, series LQ, are compatible with chemicals such as acids, bases and ultrapure water and can be used up to maximum fluid temperature of 200 degrees centigrade.
Utilising a new high-performance quadruple seal construction (patents pending) gives high conductivity and minimal dead space, for impurities and contaminants to gather.
The tube diameter can easily be changed, should flow requirements or fluids alter ? the face seal design allows for quick change of tubing and/or the tube diameters using the same fitting body.
Nuts are easily tightened and the compression nut design resists any side loading.
