The right installation materials

for every application –

system solutions from Festo

“Everything from a single source!”

This is something you often see and

hear. But when it comes to Festo’s

tubing/threaded fitting range, it’s

really true. This range has been con-

sistently enhanced in recent years in

terms of both tubing and fittings,

with considerable effort going into

ensuring application-specific tubing/

threaded fitting combinations that

are optimally harmonised. The right

solution for every task.

Festo’s “Pocket Guide to Pneumatic

Installation” will help you to navi-

gate the wide range of fittings and

connectors; non-return, pressure

control and flow control valves and

tubing to ensure you end up with the

installation solution that is right for

you.

1 Tubing/threaded fitting combinations

Well combined: Tubing-threaded

connector for all individual

situations

While many of our competitors focus

on tubing or on the threaded fittings,

the Festo range is characterised by

our trademark system solution

approach. It has been consistently

enhanced in recent years in terms of

both tubing and fittings, with con-

siderable effort going into ensuring

application-specific tubing/threaded

fitting combinations that are

optimally harmonised.

The perfect choice of tube and

threaded fitting combination

depends mainly on the exact place of

installation. Each individual case is

characterised by a series of different

requirements for tubing/threaded

fitting combinations. However cases

can often be pinned down using a

single feature for rapid orientation.

A glance at the overview of our most

popular tubing/threaded fitting com-

binations will help you to make the

right choice quickly and reliably.

Tubing – the flexible transmission

component

Tubing is indispensable in connect-

ing pneumatic valves, cylinders and

decentralised compressed air

preparation systems because of its

flexibility and low space require-

ment. Festo offers a full tubing

range, optimised for special

requirements.

Pipes

Ideally suited for supplying com-

pressed air within machines and

also for small compressed air

networks within buildings: com-

pressed air piping PQ. Available in

both aluminium and polyamide

designs, the PQ range is the perfect

complement for the push-fit system

CQ. And regardless of whether

plastic or aluminium – both designs

ensure optimum flow conditions

thanks to their smooth inside walls.

Quick Star: The synonym for

unlimited tubing connectors

Quick Star is not just a fitting, but

the name for a whole range of prod-

ucts. In fact the name says it all: it is

the perfect synthesis of continuous

and meaningful enhancement. Our

designers are constantly working to

develop the range for new applica-

tions. The latest examples of this are

the enhancements to the all-metal

fittings QS-F and the stainless steel

fittings CRQS as well as the introduc-

tion of the new price-optimised

fitting series QS-B.

The Quick Star range of fittings is

divided into five different series:

� QSM/QS:

Standard series with a wide range

of variants for standard

applications

� QSM-B/QS-B:

Standard series with core func-

tions for simple applications

� QS-V0:

Welding spatter resistant series

for applications involving flying

sparks

� QS-F:

Highly versatile all-metal series

� CRQS:

Extremely sturdy stainless steel

series

retaining claw of the proven quick

connection principle. The tempera-

ture resistance of 0 to 60 °C (with QS

standard –10 to 80 °C), the permiss-

ible operating pressure of –0.95 to

10 bar (QS standard: –0.95 to

14 bar) and the product range of the

QS-B with the 116 most popular

types are designed for the core func-

tionality. Ideal for basic pneumatic

applications in combination with

plastic tubing PUN-E.

� 116 types of QS-B fitting

� Available in mini and standard

sizes

� Metric and R thread only

� Quick installation: simply plug

and work

Faultless operation in applications

involving welding spatter

No chance for welding spatter: the

push-in fitting QS-V0 specially devel-

oped for the welding spatter-resis-

tant double-sheathed tubing PAN-V0

is designed to also hold the external

tubing. This rules out the possibility

of a gap forming between the tubing

and fitting where welding spatter

could gain entry.

The materials used for the push-in

fitting QS-V0 comply with the most

stringent requirements category V0

according to UL 94 and therefore

guarantee optimum protection in

areas where there is a risk of fire.

� For environments with flying

sparks

� For increased requirements for

fire protection, for example in

automobile production

� Flame-retardant to UL 94 V0

High load capacity

If the mechanical loading of tubing

and fittings is the order of the day,

the quick connector CX designed

specially for the metal braided hose

PX is the perfect retainer to accom-

modate the metal braiding. It rules

out the possibility of a gap forming

between the tubing and connector –

and thus eliminates any potential

problems with the connection.

� For tubing O.D. from 4 to 9 mm

� Specially designed for the metal

braided hose PX

Shut-off valves – “Stop & Go” for

your compressed air

Whether used in maintenance tasks,

for rapid stopping during horizontal

movements or as part of a backup

system in the event of a pressure

failure – Festo’s shut-off valves are

the obvious choice for applications

requiring complete shut-off of

compressed air thanks to their

impressive ability to shut off and

quickly restore the supply of

compressed air.

� Piloted non-return valves HGL-...

are activated as soon as no

control signal is present.

� Quick exhaust valves SE/SEU-...

for increased return speed of

single- or double-acting cylinders.

Optionally with ducted exhaust

SE-...

� Ball valves QH-... and on-off

valves W-.../HE-... switch off the

flow – ensuring safety in both

directions.

Pressure regulators – for optimum

performance

You need your system to operate at

peak performance every day.

Pressure regulators and differential

pressure regulators can help you

achieve this. They guarantee the

required pressure directly at the

system, regardless of the input

pressure, and compensate pressure

peaks on the supply side.

Pressure regulators LR-... and

LRMA-... keep the output pressure

stable

� Swivel joint 360° rotatable

� Flow rates 22 to 125 l/min

� Variants:

– With or without pressure gauge

– Screw-in or inline variants

� Connections:

– M5 to R¼

Differential pressure regulators

LRL-... and LRLL-... maintain a

manually set differential pressure

between the primary pressure at the

screw-in thread and the secondary

pressure at the QS connection.

� Swivel joint 360° rotatable

� Flow rates 50 to 500 l/min

� LRL variants:

– With non-return function

– Screw-in or inline variants

� Connections:

– M5 to R¼

� Tubing with swivel connector,

360° rotatable

� Flow rates 0 to 100 l/min

� LRLL variants:

– With or without pressure gauge

– Screw-in or inline variants

� Connections:

– M5 to R¼

11 Tips and tricks

The grade of filtration is always

determined by the application.

Examples of permissible particle

sizes in compressed air:

� 40 µm to 5 µm for vane motors,

working cylinders, controllers and

pneumatic hammers

� Less than 5 µm for regulators,

valves, measurement instru-

ments, spray guns

� Less than 1 µm for applications in

the food processing, pharma-

ceutical and electrical engineering

industries

In order to increase the service life of

an active carbon filter, it should

always be positioned after a micro

filter, which in turn should be

positioned after a preliminary filter.

Active carbon filter cartridges should

generally be replaced after 1,000

operating hours or if an oil odour is

noticed.

It is also possible to combine a

number of processes or to connect

filters in series, for example two

micro filters, whereby the second

filter contains active carbon and acts

as an adsorption filter. This filter

then retains odours from oil or other

solids. Incidentally most pneumatic

working and control components will

function normally with oil-free air

since they are lubricated for life at

the factory. However, if you are using

lubricated air then once you start

you must continue – you cannot go

back to oil-free air!

2006/09 – Festo AG & Co. KG 179

11 Tips and tricks

Here are some tips on selecting

components:

� Always size the service unit one

connection size higher than is re-

quired for the maximum flow rate.

Undersizing leads to pressure

fluctuations at the regulator and

to inadequate filter service life.

� Always mount service units at the

coolest point in the system, for

example on an exterior wall

instead of in the waste heat zone

of a working machine.

� Service units should never be

mounted more than 5 metres

away from the last consuming

device. Otherwise the oil mist may

condense before it reaches the

actual consuming device if

lubricated air is being used.

� Water separators separate any

water droplets that occur in the

network. Even the largest water

separator will need to be emptied

at some time. Therefore: make

sure that you service your water

separator regularly or, if in the

project planning phase, consider

using an automatic water

separator.

� Filter bowls should only be

cleaned using water, not solvents.

Use metal bowls for harsh

environments.

� Always choose a larger solids filter

than is necessary. Note the flow

direction when installing the filter.

Do not clean filter cartridges –

dispose of them.

� If using an adsorption dryer, place

a preliminary filter (grade of filtra-

tion 1 µm) upstream of the input

filter to extend the service life of

the input filter. Contact with oil

will considerably reduce the

service life of the drying agent.

Finally the air inlet temperature

should be less than 35 °C.

� Use a lockable regulator knob to

prevent the pressure settings for

the pressure regulator being

changed without authorisation.

� Compressed air lubricators must

only be filled with the low-

viscosity mineral oil approved by

the manufacturer.

� If operating large working

cylinders (piston diameter above

100 mm) with lubricated air, use a

filter silencer for the exhaust air.

This dampens the exhaust noise

and separates particles via a fine

filter cartridge.

� Services units need to be serviced

too – implement a maintenance

schedule to prevent them failing

prematurely and causing

problems.

11 Tips and tricks

The illustration below shows the

structure of a push-in fitting.

These fittings are equally well suited

to vacuum or compressed air. Steel

retaining claws secure the tubing

without damaging its surface. Vibra-

tion and pressure surges are safely

absorbed. The tubing can be

released by pressing in the release

ring. The claw is then lifted away

from the tubing. This push-in/clamp

function is used in many types of

fitting.

11 Tips and tricks

When using tubing, people often

make the mistake of combining dif-

ferent diameters within a string. This

has the effect of reducing the flow

pressure. Another common mistake

people make is selecting tubing

lengths that are too long. Spiral tub-

ing has a higher pressure drop than

normal straight tubing precisely be-

cause of its long length. The diagram

opposite illustrates the pressure

drop that occurs with increasing

tubing length by illustrating the

decreasing flow rate.

An output pressure of 7 bar (effec-

tive) and a pressure drop of 0.2 bar

were selected as fixed variables. The

tubing is a PVC tubing with a sleeve

and fittings at both ends.

If the Festo push-in system is used

there is no reduction of cross section

within the tubing, which has a

positive effect on the pressure drop.
