Sleeving - Import export

The flexible tube is pushed onto the connecting sleeve manually, causing the flexible tube to widen. To secure the connection against shear stresses, torsional stresses or longitudinal forces, you must use, e.g., a pipe clip to fasten the flexible tube in place on the connecting sleeve.

The flexible tube is pushed onto the integrated connecting sleeve of the 1A flexible tube con-nector. By tightening the knurled nut, the clamping ring presses against the flexible tube and fixes it in place. The connecting sleeve for the flexible tube is nearly cylindrical. Its dimensions are calculated to prevent tube strain over 6%, even with poor tolerances. The tension produced by the low tube strain is sufficient by itself to guarantee a tight flexible tube connection up to 6 bar. The clamping ring and knurled nut secure the connection against longitudinal forces which could otherwise pull the flexible tube off the connecting sleeve. The clamping ring is designed to secure the flexible tube in place by intercepting any shear or tor-sional stresses. This allows for usage up to 10 bar*. Thanks to its elasticity, the clamping ring can be used several times in the same connector.
