SMC KQ2 Series Polybutylene Terephthalate Electroless Nickel Plated Pneumatic Fitting

SMC KQ2 Series Pneumatic Fitting, 1Mpa Maximum Operating Pressure, Electroless Nickel Plated Finish - KQ2L10-00A

This pneumatic fitting provides a Compact elbow connection for Air tubing within industrial control and automated systems. It serves as a push-in Union to redirect Airflow between tubing runs while maintaining system integrity in general pneumatic assemblies.

Features and Benefits:

• Electroless nickel finish resists surface corrosion
  Polybutylene terephthalate body reduces weight and chemical susceptibility
  Rated to 1MPa to support moderate-pressure pneumatic circuits
  Operates from -5 to 60°C for varied ambient conditions
  Conforms to JIS B0205 and JIS B0203 for dimensional compatibility
  RoHS-compliant materials suit regulated electronic environments

Applications

• Suitable for pneumatic control panels in factory automation
  Ideal for Air supply lines on assembly machinery
  Used with instrumentation requiring Compact elbow routing
  Can be used for pneumatic actuation in electrical cabinets

What type of connection does it provide for tubing?

It functions as a push-to-connect Union elbow that allows quick insertion and withdrawal of compatible Air tubing without threaded assembly.

How does the material choice affect maintenance?

The polybutylene terephthalate construction minimises weight and reduces the need for frequent replacement in environments where moderate chemical exposure occurs.

Is it suitable for moderate-pressure systems?

Yes, it is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 1MPa, making it appropriate for many industrial pneumatic applications that do not exceed that limit.

Which temperature environments can it handle reliably?

The component is specified for continuous operation down to -5°C and up to 60°C, covering typical indoor and sheltered outdoor installations.
