Technical Overview

Straight pneumatic push-in fitting with R1/4 male thread and 8mm push-in port. Features SW14 hex, nickel-plated brass body, and cleanroom Class 4 suitability.

Key Features

Push-pull principle allows for effortless and quick insertion and release of pneumatic tubing.
Pre-applied PTFE coating on the R1/4 male thread ensures a secure seal without requiring additional tape.
Durable nickel-plated brass housing provides robust mechanical strength and low corrosion stress (CRC 1).
Integrated stainless steel retaining claw firmly grips 8 mm OD tubing to prevent accidental disconnection.
Cleanroom suitability certified to Class 4 according to ISO 14644-1 for high-purity environments.
Accommodates working pressures from -0.95 bar up to 8 bar (-13.775 to 116 psi).
Wide operating temperature range of -5 °C to +60 °C.
Features an external hex (SW14) and an internal hex (AF 6) for flexible mounting in confined spaces.

Industrial Applications

1. Cleanroom Semiconductor Assembly Lines

In semiconductor manufacturing, air supply lines to pneumatic pick-and-place grippers must meet high cleanliness standards to prevent wafer contamination.

Problem Solved

The NPQE-D-R14-Q8-P10 is Class 4 cleanroom certified according to ISO 14644-1 and PWIS-free (VDMA24364 zone III), solving the risk of airborne particulate or paint-wetting impairment substance contamination in high-purity assembly areas.

2. Compact Pneumatic Control Cabinets

Automated machinery control cabinets contain dense manifolds of solenoid valves requiring multiple tube connections in highly restricted spatial layouts.

Problem Solved

With its unique combination of SW14 external hex and AF 6 internal hexagon, engineers can mount this straight fitting from the inside using an Allen key, bypassing the physical constraints of open-end wrench clearances in ultra-dense manifolds.

3. Low-Pressure Packaging Automation Systems

Carton-folding and packaging systems utilize pneumatic cylinders operating at moderate pressures (up to 8 bar) under rapid cycle rates.

Problem Solved

The push-pull design with stainless steel retaining claws and pre-coated PTFE threads ensures fast, tool-free tubing replacements during routine maintenance, reducing assembly downtime and avoiding tape degradation issues.
