How does a Camlock coupling work and where are its limits?
A Camlock or cam and groove coupling is a quick-connect family in which an adapter and a coupler are joined by means of arms. The correct size, seal, material and service limit are selected together; the fact that the c…

Specifying types of cam and groove couplings in orders
Camlock type letters describe whether the coupling is an adapter or a coupler and whether the other end is threaded or has a hose shank. In addition to the type letter, the size, thread standard, material, seal and appl…

Flat-face hydraulic quick couplings
A flat-face hydraulic quick coupling uses an interface that makes the connection face easier to clean. A low-spillage objective or a flat face does not mean that every model can be connected and disconnected under press…

Poppet-type hydraulic quick couplings
In valved quick couplings, the internal valves are part of fluid control when disconnected. The presence of a valve is not a guarantee of zero spillage, zero air inclusion or connection under pressure; the coupling seri…

Selection questions for dry disconnect couplings
A dry disconnect coupling is a design that manages the connection and valve movement together in order to limit fluid release during disconnection. Dry disconnection is not the same function as a safety breakaway coupli…

Camlock guide: how does it work, how to choose?
A camlock is a quick, tool-free coupling in which a male adapter and a female coupler are joined by closing the arms. When choosing, temperature, material, maximum working pressure and manufacturing quality are assessed…

Camlock gaskets: silicone, Viton and NBR
Camlock gaskets are made of silicone, Viton and NBR. Silicone offers flexibility and high temperature resistance, Viton resistance to aggressive chemicals, and NBR an economical solution for water, oil and gas; the choi…
