The device is attached in seconds to the component to be tested, without any need for time-consuming screw connections. The use of WEH® Test Connectors makes additional sealing
components redundant.
Pneumatics have become a common component of modern drive and fluid technology
and an essential part of many applications in industrial automation. Even if their generated
pressure may be relatively low in comparison with hydraulics systems, pneumatics system have one important advantage: they are highly robust to ambient conditions like temperature fluctuations and vibrations.
That is why pneumatic components, like pneumatic cylinders or compressed air cylinders and pneumatic valves, are used in a wide variety of industries today, e.g. machine engineering, process and chemicals industries and in medical technology, but also in the crude oil industry, mining, agriculture and forestry, as well as in food production.
Pneumatic components must be checked for leak tightness before deployment to prevent
leakages, which often go undetected and result in increased energy costs. WEH offer a variety of test connectors for many connection types. WEH provides the right connector for pneumatic components with internal or external thread, straight tube or bore, with collar or bead.
The WEH® TW05 Connector is the perfect tool for function, leak tightness and pressure
tests of pneumatic components with internal thread. Connection and pressurising (5–12 bar) of the test piece is done in one work step. Simple actuation of the sliding sleeve opens the WEH® Clamping jaws, which then close in the thread. No additional sealing aids are required. The device works entirely without complex and costly clamping and testing devices. A secure and pressure-tight connection is established in seconds – without any need for time-consuming screw connections.
