Understanding fluid conveyance technologies is critical to safe hydraulic and pneumatic system design. This year’s Fluid Power Technology Conference, to be held at MSOE May 14-15, will highlight the importance of multi-connect and adapter, hose and tubing technologies, with presentations by CEJN and Tompkins. First up on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. will be CEJN’s […]
The benefits of custom quick disconnects
Non-standard QDs often lead to better system design and, surprisingly, lower overall costs. Contributed by Joe Engel and Nick Goenner, Specialty Manufacturing Co. Most quick-disconnect coupling manufacturers focus on offering standard products in dozens, if not hundreds of different sizes and types. Many times, off-the-shelf QDs work fine for a given task. They meet the […]
Hose connections reinvented
The Quick-Connect system is an easy-to-install and cost-effective alternative to conventional hose connection fittings, according to officials at ARGO-HYTOS, Kraichtal, Germany. Tubes and hoses equipped with these connections can simply be plugged into the appropriate adapters by the user and fixed with enclosed locking clips. This assembly sequence is significantly faster than the steps required […]

Quick-release coded coupling to be highlight at Eisele’s IMTS booth
Eisele Connectors, a subsidiary of Eisele Pneumatics GmbH & Co. KG, will exhibit at IMTS 2018 — International Manufacturing Technology Show, September 10-15, will highlight its connectors for all industry sectors: standard components, stainless steel push-in fittings and flexible modular multi-media connectors. The newest innovation to be highlighted will be the company’s new coded quick-release couplings. They are […]
Quick-connect couplings for higher pressures
Upgraded range of ultra-high-pressure hydraulic quick-connect couplings, Next Generation series, provides safe operation. Quick-action safety lock uses a smooth locking ring instead of screw lock. Unintentional disconnection is practically eliminated; a quick twist of the bayonet lock and the coupling is secured. The CEJN Metal Seal (CMS) features a smaller diameter, keeping stress to a […]
How can quick couplings improve hose safety?
Hydraulic and pneumatic hose safety can be ensured by using quick-connect fittings or quick couplings that make a repeated connection and disconnection between fluid lines and the equipment they are attached to. Quick couplings are used in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications, and are designed for easy hand operation. These safety devices feature a male […]
Quick connectors from FasTest
Sleeve-actuated quick connectors are designed to provide a reliable, leak-tight connection to 37° JIC and O-Ring Face Seal fittings. Features include: • Provides ergonomic, operator friendly sleeve actuation • Reduced set-up time for test procedures • Rated for pressures up to 5,000 psi • Simple, in-the-field maintenance • Split collet design eliminates torquing and stress applied to […]
CEJN encourages compressed air safety for National Safety Month
National Safety Month creates the perfect opportunity to evaluate safety and performance in the workplace, especially if when using compressed air. While it may seem like everything is humming along fine, employee safety must be a priority. As a result, CEJN is committed to improving workplace safety for its customers with its safety-focused pneumatic products that […]
