A claw coupling, also known as a compressed air coupling, is a robust and reliable connection solution designed for use in compressed air and fluid systems. It is primarily used for connecting hoses and pipes in environments where safety, efficiency, and durability are essential. The unique claw mechanism enables quick and easy connection and disconnection without the need for special tools, making these couplings particularly suitable for applications where speed and operational continuity are important. 

Applications of the claw coupling

Claw couplings are widely used in different industries because of their versatility and long service life. Their secure locking system and high resistance to wear make them suitable for both stationary installations and mobile setups. Typical applications include:

• Construction industry: connecting compressed air hoses to pneumatic tools and machines, ensuring a constant and reliable air supply on building sites.
• Industrial environments: transporting water, oils, and other liquids where a leak-proof and pressure-resistant connection is required.
• Agriculture: irrigation systems and fertiliser spreading, where rapid and safe hose connection and disconnection helps to save time and minimise downtime. 

Advantages of the claw coupling

Thanks to their practical design and high-quality materials, claw couplings deliver dependable performance in a wide range of industrial environments. They are built to minimise downtime, withstand demanding conditions, and provide a secure connection even under high pressure. Several advantages are:

• Quick connection mechanism: no special tools required, saving time and increasing efficiency
• Durable materials: cast iron and stainless steel for long service life and corrosion resistance
• Reliable sealing: leak-free connection for compressed air and liquid applications
• Customised sealing rings: available in EPDM, NBR and Viton to suit different media and temperature ranges
