How do push-in pneumatic fittings work?

The type of connection most commonly used in pneumatics is undoubtedly the push-in fitting that allows the connection tube to be inserted directly into the fitting without any tools. The fitting contains the following parts:

• The body – with several different types to choose from. Straight, angular, t-shaped etc.

• The collet – This is the part that grips and holds the tube inside the fitting.

• Thread – Also with several different sizes to choose from.

• Sprint – The sprint version has a Teflon ring which guarantees a perfect seal even in non-flat or irregular surfaces.

When you push the tube in, it passes an O-ring, and the collet grips the tube. The tube must therefore be made with a defined tolerance in the external diameter and with a material of a certain hardness.

What are the benefits of push-in pneumatic fittings?

The main advantage that this solution offers is the speed with which the tube can be installed. And the ability to remove it without any tools. Just push the collet and pull out the tube.
