Pneumatic module adds to ODU hybrid MAC range

The range allows users to build up connector systems that transmit electrical signals and provide compressed air for a range of processes.

Each module has two couplings, with the connection side incorporating M5 screw threads to allow the use of commercially available nipples, screw joints or quick-couplings.

A self-blocking version is also available, so as to avoid supply-line pressure drop.

Technical specification: 2.4mm module width air flow 90l/min, with pressure drop of 1-bar up to 12-bar operating pressure, with 100-bar burst pressure.

Approximate 10-N actuating force per module up to 5,000 mating cycles.

The ODU MAC range consists of rectangular modules in four sizes, available for transmitting LF/HF signals, power bus, fibre-optics and fluids.

Modules can be mounted together in a common frame and are particularly suited to docking applications.
