Rectus connectors are pneumatic quick couplings and connectors for connecting hoses, tools, and creating pneumatic installations. They come in various types, including single and double shut-off, with free flow, and made from different materials (e.g., plastic, stainless steel).
Types of connectors and their purpose:
- Quick couplings: single shut-off: The socket has a shut-off valve, and the plug has a free flow. The plug shuts off the flow when disconnected from the socket.
- Double shut-off: both the socket and the plug have shut-off valves. They are self-sealing and prevent leaks after disconnection.
- With free flow: The socket and plug do not have valves. They provide unrestricted flow of the medium.
- Materials: Connectors are available in brass, plastics, and also made of acid-resistant steel for the food industry or in applications with higher requirements.
Rectus series 02
Rectus series 02 pneumatic connectors are designed for applications that require small but efficient connections, operated with one hand, such as medical technology, measurement, or other applications with limited space. They are the smallest quick couplings in the world, valued for their high flow efficiency and low pressure drop.
- Purpose: These connectors are ideal for applications where size and high performance matter.
- Operation: They are designed for one-handed operation, making work easier and faster.
- Performance: Despite their small dimensions, they provide high flow efficiency with a low pressure drop.
- Applications: Their versatility allows use in various fields, including medical and measurement technology.
Rectus series 21
Rectus series 21 pneumatic connectors are designed for quick and easy connection of hoses in pneumatics, as well as for supplying compressed air, inert gases, water, and other liquid media. They are used in a wide range of industrial applications, such as production machines, pneumatic automation, as well as in medical, welding, and dosing devices. They feature compact sizes, high flow efficiency, and one-handed operation.
Main applications:
- Industry: Pneumatic automation, Packaging production machines, Sewing machines, Dosing devices
- Welding: Cooling of welding equipment, Connecting plasma cutters
- Medicine: Fluid delivery systems, Dialysis machines, Breathing devices
- Others: Irrigation systems, Cooling systems in automotive, Training systems
Key features:
- Materials: Often made of brass.
- Size: They have small dimensions, ideal where space is limited.
- Shut-off type: Available in single shut-off versions (flow is stopped only from one side after disconnection) and double shut-off.
- Performance: They offer high flow efficiency while maintaining compact sizes.
- Compatibility: They are compatible with other profiles, e.g., from the Rectus 90 series, and with connectors from other manufacturers, such as Camozzi.
Rectus series 27
Rectus series 27 pneumatic connectors are designed for industrial applications characterized by high air flow, where durability and reliability matter. They are commonly used in production lines, workshops, and in heavy industry. They provide quick and easy connection, durability, and some versions allow for one-handed connection and are compatible with other systems, such as Rectus 41.
Main purpose and applications:
- Industry and production lines: Series 27 is designed to work in demanding industrial conditions, often on production lines.
- High throughput: These connectors are characterized by high flow, which is crucial in applications requiring high performance of compressed air, e.g., for powering impact wrenches for trucks.
- Durability and reliability: Made from high-quality materials, such as nickel-plated brass or stainless steel, they provide mechanical strength and corrosion resistance (depending on the version).
- Ease of use: Connectors often have a simple push-to-connect design and can be operated with one hand.
- Compatibility: Series 27 is compatible with other systems, such as Rectus 41, making integration into existing installations easier.
- Handling various media: There are versions (e.g., 27KB) that are adapted for working with liquid media, preventing leaks during disconnection.
Rectus series 57
Rectus series 57 connectors are primarily designed for compressed air distribution systems in industrial installations. Due to their design (with double shut-off), they can also be used for liquid media, and their main advantage is one-handed operation and high throughput. They are low-pressure connectors, ideal for quick and tight hose connections.
Key features and applications:
- Low pressure: Series 57 is dedicated to systems with lower operating pressure.
- Compressed air distribution: Their high throughput makes them commonly used in compressed air distribution.
- Application in liquid media: In the version with double shut-off, they can be used for fluid transfer.
- One-handed operation: These connectors are designed for easy one-handed operation, increasing convenience and work speed.
Performance: They are characterized by high throughput.
