KA type quick connector system / external connection
For pressure and vacuum tests in a range of external diameters of components
Use
The innomatec connec ® KA type quick connector system seals tubes, connection pieces, hoses and all types of cylindrical bodies and connects them to the desired control system.. Oval, rough and cast surfaces with large sealing surface tolerance are sealed radially.
The quick connector is pneumatically activated with control air. A flexible rubber seal creates the seal. The system is filled or sealed via the test connection. After testing has been completed the control connection is vented, the seal de-pressurised and the connection can be removed/taken away. Depending on the diameter, working pressure or condition of the surface (oily etc.) the connection needs to be fitted with a slide barrier.
Functionality and Method of Operations
The innomatec connec ® Quick Connection System Type KA can be loaded with a sample manually or with an automatic tool.Function and operation
The innomatec connec ® KA type quick connector system can be attached/presented to the test piece manually or with an automatic tool.The quick connector is pneumatically activated with control air. A flexible rubber seal creates the seal. The system is filled or sealed via the test connection. After testing has been completed the control connection is vented, the seal de-pressurised and the connection can be removed/taken away. Depending on the diameter, working pressure or condition of the surface (oily etc.) the connection needs to be fitted with a slide barrier.
Sealed system
The innomatec connec ® quick connector system has excellent sealing properties ('helium-tight'). The rubber seal product life is designed to be suitable for series production. Rubber seals are very easy to change without tools.Special designs
There are a number of special designs of the connection for specific applications with stroke limitation, sliding barriers, support hulls or special seals for specific environmental conditions. The dimensions of the connection can be adapted to the task for specific cases. Also for individual pieces. We look forward to your enquiry. Please use our checklist to do this.Accessories
We can deliver the following as accessories:- assembled screw connections for connection lines
- mounted hand disc valve for controlling the connection
- shut-off valve for the working fluid
- blind plugs for working fluid
- stroke limitation
- floating bearing for use with machines

Typical examples of use
- Smooth connection pipe

Technical data
Designs
Standard: Aluminium, anodisedSpecial: stainless steel, brass, plastic PA
Controlled pressure
4.0 bar to 8.0 bar-1 bar to 8.0 bar
The connection must be secured against slipping unless the sealing surfaces are dry.
Operating pressure
-1 bar to 8.0 barThe connection must always be secure against sliding, except when the sealing surface is dry.
Media
Air pressure, helium, water.Other media are also supported upon request.
Sealing diameter
1.0 mm to 300 mmThe rubber seal can accommodate differences in diameter from 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm (diameter-dependent)
Temperatures
10 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees CelsiusSpecial designs on request.
Special rubber seals for use with food and medical applications. Temperature resistance up to 200 degrees Celsius and resistance to aggressive media.Standard dimensions, type KA

The maximum test pressure can be found in column P2. This is only valid for ideal conditions (sealing surface clean, dry and processed). For higher test pressures or damp/oily surfaces, the quick connector must be secured against slipping.
