Pneumatic Fittings
Pneumatic fittings are essential for pneumatic systems, impacting durability, performance, and safety. SMC offers diverse fittings for various applications.
Our catalogue includes:
Simple Fittings
These fittings are designed for applications where connections are relatively permanent (without frequent connections and disconnections actions). Available in a variety of materials, they are suitable for a wide range of pneumatic needs, from general purposes to specialized applications requiring high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, or antistatic properties.
Manifolds
SMC offers various manifolds for quick, compact multi-tube connections:
- Instant Connection Manifolds: Perfect for rapid industrial setups.
- Modular Manifolds: Offer adaptable connections for varying needs.
- Rotary Manifolds: Designed for dynamic applications.
Quick Connect Coupling
These quick-connect couplings, connectors, and couplers provide fast, reliable pneumatic connections, ideal for industrial maintenance and automation.
