Pneumatic Accessories

Accessories are small compared with other components in the system. But their function can not be neglected. We can not consider the system is complete without them. There are many kinds of accessories in the system, Including hose, fitting, muffler etc.

Air Hose

Air hose is specifically designed to convey compressed air to or among pneumatic components, valves, actuators, and tools. It is typically flexible and often reinforced. Construction features such as coiling or corrugations can be used to minimize storage space required and to allow positioning flexibility among components.Air hose can be specified in English or metric units.  Some may be supplied with both types of units defined.  Important specifications to consider for air hoses include inside diameter, outside diameter and minimum bend radius.  Minimum bend radius is based on a combination of acceptable hose cross-section deformation and mechanical bending limit of any reinforcement. Applications for air hose include pneumatic, fresh air, suction or vacuum, and exhaust.  Pneumatic air hose is rated for compressed air and designed for use in pneumatic systems. 

Hose Fittings

Hose fittings are a category of components used to connect hoses and tubes for in-line, offset, multi-port, and mounting configurations. Typically, hoses and tubes are configured with straight sections connected by fittings or specially-formed connections and joints. Fitting construction and material selection is application-dependent. Some hose fittings rotate or swivel on one or both ends. Others can be disconnected and reused as necessary. Hose fittings are available in both English and metric measurements.There are many types of hose fittings. Examples include adapters, bulkhead fittings, caps compression fittings, couplings, crosses, crimp sockets, elbows, expansion joints, ferrules, glands, nipples, offsets, plugs, reducers, returns, side outlets, tees, and wyes.

Silencers and Mufflers

Industrial silencers and mufflers absorb and attenuate noise levels from machinery and other sources for environmental amelioration and regulatory compliance. They use several basic designs. Absorptive silencers and mufflers incorporate sound-deadening materials, fabric and compounds to absorb the noise energy from the flow of gas or air.

There are two basic types of ports: inlet silencers and exhaust silencers. Inlet silencers mount on the intake side of the device to be silenced. Exhaust silencers mount on the outlet or exhaust of the muffled device. In terms of placement, both inlets and outlets can be located either in-line or on the side.

There are many applications for industrial silencers and mufflers. Some products are designed to silence industrial engines, air or gas compressors, vacuum pumps, or turbines. Others fit the exhaust ports of air cylinders, solenoid valves, or other pneumatic components.
