Pneumatic technology uses pressurized gas to drive mechanical motion. The most common gas used in pneumatic technology is dry air. The air must be dry because moisture affects compressive qualities. Pneumatic technology is very similar to hydraulic technology, but in hydraulics, the driving fluid is always a liquid.
Pneumatic systems operate using a central pneumatic device, such as an air motor or compressor, and utilize manual or automatic solenoid valves to control airflow throughout the system.
Pneumatic systems contain many components, with pneumatic quick connect couplings being one example.
What are pneumatic quick connect couplings used for?
Pneumatic quick connect couplings attach to the ends of hoses and allow them to connect quickly and easily to different types of equipment. These are often found in locations where tools are changed frequently, such as dental surgeries.
Types of pneumatic quick connect couplings
Pneumatic quick connect couplings come in various sizes, seal types, connection styles, thread sizes, grades, and materials. These adapters allow users to quickly change hoses within a system, enabling an assortment of tools to be interchanged efficiently.
The SMC slim body design of the S coupler, along with its large effective area, is achieved through a construction that eliminates the use of steel balls. This design choice ensures that the flow path is not restricted, allowing for efficient fluid transfer without compromising performance.

KQG2 SUS316 Stainless Steel Fittings
SMC KQG2 series one-touch pneumatic fittings are manufactured from SUS316 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistant properties that are better than grade 304 stainless steel. SUS316 stainless steel offers higher pitting and corrosion resistance properties, and is especially suitable for chloride environments.
Applications
KQG2 series one-touch fittings make use of FKM seals and may be used with a variety of tubing including nylon, soft nylon, polyurethane, polyolefin, FEP and PFA. The fittings are suitable for use with steam and are grease-free.
