Pneumatic technology: connections for compressed air systems

In the world of industrial automation, pneumatic connections are essential for the efficient transmission of clean compressed air. To ensure optimal performance, these systems demand components that combine mechanical resistance with compact design, maximizing longevity and reliability..

To meet the growing need for versatility and efficiency, our MIXO Series of pneumatic connectors has been engineered for applications requiring consistent airflow and pressure stability.

FEATURES

THE MODULES
The range includes single- or double-slot modules in thermoplastic material designed to host metal contacts, providing reliable performance under continuous operating pressures of up to 10 bar, and can function across a temperature range from -40°C to +80°C:

CX 03 MP: 1 slot, with 3 housings, for tube Ø 3 – 4 – 6 mm that feature identical male and female modular units.

CX 02 MPBF/M: 2 slots, with 2 housings for tube Ø 8 – 10 mm.

In addition to the modules for metal contacts, the CX … P series is designed for thermoplastic
contacts,
available in configuration with2 or 3 housings for Ø 1.6, Ø 3 and Ø 4 mm tubes, suitable for pressures up to 8 bar.

THE CONTACTS
Our pneumatic contacts are available in both metal and plastic versions, offering flexibility for diverse applications:

  • Straight and angled configurations (only metal contacts) for various cable outlet needs.
  • Hose barb contacts and quick-fitting push-in tube attachments for both inner (ID) and outer (OD)diameters.
  • Plastic contacts with hose barbs for inner diameter (ID).
  • Coding and guiding pins for correct alignment of pneumatic contact modules (CRM CX / CRF CX).
  • Metal contacts are easily removable using the CMPES B removal tool.

THE ENCLOSURES

V-type enclosures are the ideal solution for coupling pneumatic modules. The proprietary lever mechanism ensures easy handling during the closing and opening operations, even with high closing forces, while the rigidity of the lever ensures secure and correctly aligned engagement of the pneumatic contacts.

ADVANTAGES

  • Wide Compatibility: Ideal for a broad range of industrial environments.
  • Durability: Robust metal contacts ensure long-term reliability even in the harshest conditions.
  • Long Lifespan: Achieve up to 500 or 10,000 mating cycles when used with traditional or High Number of Matings (HNM) MIXO frames/enclosures.
