With robust metal contacts that can be plugged and unplugged at least 10,000 times, the new Han® Pneumatic Module Metal from HARTING presents another significant cost- and space-saving opportunity to use connectors to streamline flexible production processes with high mating cycles. The Han® Pneumatic Module Metal can withstand pressure up to 10 bars, covering the entire low pressure range. This compares with an upper limit of 8 bars for the existing Han® Pneumatic Module with plastic contacts.
More details from Harting (www.harting.com):
With pneumatic modules, users can route compressed air feed through the same connector along with power and signal lines rather than having to set up and maintain a separate compressed air connection for drive units, control units, brakes, holding and unloading units and much more.
The Pneumatic Module Metal is available in variants with two (for hose ∅ = 6 mm) or three plug slots (for hoses with ∅ = 1.6 to 4mm). The female contacts are available with or without a shut-off function –a spring- loaded valve that closes over an O-ring when the connector is opened, preventing compressed air from escaping. The Han® Pneumatic Module Metal be employed in a wide range of HARTING connector series that take Han-Modular® inserts, including Han-Yellock® and Han-Eco®.
