Bimba and Pneumadyne have the unique ability to create custom connectors for their customer's specific applications.
Challenge
An equipment manufacturer in the agriculture industry contacted Pneumadyne to design a connector that could secure two air lines, two nitrogen lines, and one high pressure nitrogen line at a remote distribution point.
Requirements Included:
- The connector had to be easy to mount on the side of the machine
- Made with materials that could withstand outdoor use
- Provide a strain relief for five 1/4ʺ OD tubes
- A distribution box was also needed to centrally locate all incoming lines
Solution
In addition to the custom distribution box, Pneumadyne’s engineers designed a lightweight connector to house the tubing lines at the remote location. This new design reduced the size and complexity of the original component and also simplified installation
Benefits
- Acetyl cone provides a strain relief and ensures tubing can’t be pulled out of connector ports
- Aluminum base contains mounting holes to speed assembly at remote sites
- Five push-to-connect ports ease tubing installation
Other Applications
- Fluid Handling
- Filling/Dispensing
- Pick and Place
