GENTLE TS Mini Straight Quick Coupler｜Ultra-Compact Pneumatic

• Miniaturized Body for Tight Layouts: About 40% less volume and ~20% slimmer OD for 4–6 mm miniature tubing, enabling dense layouts with minimal interference.
• Hex Wrench Tightening + Pre-Applied Sealant: Wrench flats on top for precise seating; M3/M5/RC1/8 threads ship pre-sealed, so no PTFE tape is needed. After many reinstallations, reapply thread sealant or add PTFE tape if required.
• Push-to-Seat, Clean Removal: Push fully to the stop and pull-check; for removal, press the release ring evenly to protect the seal.
• O-Ring Seal + Metal Collet: Long-term airtightness with vibration-resistant tube retention; rated 0–0.9 MPa, 5–60 °C.
• Optimized Flow Path: Short, smooth passages reduce pressure loss and stabilize flow.
• Materials & Finish: Nickel-plated brass with engineered plastics; black or grey-white (-GW); Made in Taiwan.
• Applications: Micro blow/clamp lines on EOAT and grippers, short runs inside precision inspection/measurement modules, near-device links for mini cylinders and compact valve islands, dense routing in control panels/jigs/slides, and clean, lightweight layouts on handling modules.

Q1: What tube types and sizes are supported?
A: PU and nylon (PA) tubes in 4–6 mm OD. Select by actual OD to ensure proper O-ring sealing and collet grip.

Q2: What's the correct installation sequence?
A: Secure the fitting first: hand-thread → tighten with a hex wrench to seat (avoid over-torque) → cut the tube end square and deburr → push fully to the stop → perform a light pull-check. For removal, press the release ring evenly—do not force-pull.

Q3: Is PTFE tape required? What if the sealant wears?
A: Threads are pre-sealed. If sealing degrades after repeated service, reapply thread sealant or add PTFE tape to maintain airtightness.

Q4: Can it be reconnected multiple times? How to maintain sealing?
A: Yes—provided the collet remains intact. Re-square and clean/dry the tube end before reinsertion. If leakage or loss of grip is observed, replace the entire fitting.

Q5: What operating range and vibration performance should I expect?
A: 0–0.9 MPa and 5–60 °C. The O-ring + collet provides vibration-resistant, anti-pull retention; avoid aggressive media and out-of-range temperatures.

Q6: Is it suitable for vacuum or liquids?
A: Designed for compressed air. Vacuum/liquid use depends on media compatibility, viscosity, and cleanliness—validate under actual conditions.

Q7: Difference from the standard TS? Any flow impact?
A: TS(MINI) is a downsized variant with the same push-in/sealing mechanism. The internal path is optimized to lower ΔP for 4–6 mm systems; actual flow also depends on tube length, bends, and downstream components.
