Parker Hannifin announces a new sleeved design of the Rectus Series 26 couplers<\/strong><\/a> for air applications used in the industrial manufacturing equipment industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Series 26 is a robust and universal standard quick connect coupling with a nominal diameter of 7.2mm and is suitable for use in pneumatic applications of up to 35bar. Available in brass or polymer, the couplers are now equipped with a newly engineered polymer sleeve, which ensures that the internal parts are protected against dirt penetration to enhance reliability and prolong service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, the Series 26 couplers with a polymer sleeve were only available as a special product, but were highly regarded by leading manufacturers and Parker customers for their proven technology and high-quality materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now available as standard, the new sleeved design features the same technical characteristics as existing models, ensuring the same level of performance and reliability. Features include a EURO profile, single-hand operation, connection, and disconnection strength, up to 35 bar working pressure, working temperature of -20\u00b0C to +100\u00b0C, and flow rates of 1,070l\/min (air).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new polymer sleeve design brings additional advantages, including being lightweight and easier to handle, while offering better corrosion resistance for increased durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an environmental perspective, the Rectus Series 26 couplers are produced using sustainable materials and manufacturing processes: reducing ecological impact, energy consumption, and carbon footprint to meet the growing demand for greener products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the couplers are available in a variety of colors and textures that enhance aesthetics and visual identity. Their design makes them more comfortable to use thanks to a better grip and sensitivity to touch, thus meeting the needs of applications that involve frequent human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new, cost-efficient Series 26 couplers offer customers a streamlined range that reduces inventory and makes it easier to choose the right product for their pneumatic application. Moreover, the simplified offer means continued and market-proven, reliable products with short delivery times and a continuous high service level. This development is part of Parker LPCE Division’s dedication to meet trends in pneumatic applications, offering cost-efficient alternatives to pure metal couplers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
