Swing Elbow Type Quick Fitting

  • Brand GENTLE Fittings
Features
  • Swivel Compliance Mechanism: After tightening via the hex flats, the push-in port can rotate relative to the body for fine directional alignment and absorption of pull/torque from machine motion—reducing kinks and extending PU/nylon tube life. Not for continuous 360° rotation; do not use as a rotary union.
  • Hex-Wrench Locking: Wrench flats on top allow secure tightening with a hex spanner for precise, stable installation.
  • Pre-Coated Thread Sealant: Factory-applied sealant offers airtight, vibration-resistant joints; after repeated re-assembly, apply PTFE tape as needed to keep peak sealing.
  • Stress Relief & Hose Life: Metal collet (jaws) + O-ring plus swivel compliance reduce kinks/torsion and extend tube life.
  • One-Touch Push-In: Tool-free tube connection/removal shortens maintenance and downtime.
  • Broad Range: 4–12 mm tubes, threads M5 to RC1/2, suitable for unified BOMs.
  • Application Scenarios: Ideal for robot arms & grippers, AGV/slides, CNC tool-change areas, packaging/labeling swing sections, and dynamic jigs—acting as a motion joint so the tube follows movement while staying airtight, cutting downtime and maintenance.

FAQ

Q1: Where is the SL series best applied?
A: Robot arms/grippers, mobile platforms, deep in CNC enclosures, packaging swing modules, and dynamic fixtures. SL allows post-tightening angle trim and motion absorption while keeping airtightness.

 

Q2: What are the rotation limits?
A: Limited-angle compliance, not continuous 360°. For continuous rotation, choose a dedicated rotary joint.

 

Q3: Do I need PTFE tape?
A: Typically no (threads are pre-coated). After multiple re-assemblies or in high-vibration areas, apply PTFE tape as needed to maintain peak sealing.

 

Q4: Any installation tips?
A: Tighten via the wrench flats; cut tubes square and insert fully; avoid twisting the tube to orient the fitting.

 

Q5: Operating range & tubing?
A: 0–0.9 MPa, 5–60 °C; compatible with PU and nylon tubing; ideal for automation, robotic arms, and dynamic routing.

 

Q6: How to choose vs. TL/TLL? 
A6: TL = fixed 90° for general corners; TLL = fixed 90° with extended reach for deep/tight spots; SL = rotatable push-in after tightening for dynamic lines and fine alignment.
