Your connection solutions for Defence and Aerospace

Your connection solutions for Defence and Aerospace

Stäubli: fully committed to your applications With over 50 years experience in manufacturing high-quality quick release couplings for all industries, Stäubli has connection solutions for all types of energy. Since the early 1970s, Stäubli has been supplying the aerospace industry with couplings and developing specific ones for military applications. The experience we have gained over this time in active partnership with manufacturers and users has increased our technical expertise and enabled us to meet the demanding technical and precision requirements for these sectors. The extensive range of solutions available can satisfy many of your specific needs. For some applications, a simple adjustment will meet your requirements. Bespoke solutions are developed for the more demanding applications. Our expertise and global presence allow us to participate in all major international projects to provide highly effective and high performance technical solutions for targeted applications. Responsive service from all departments of our company, R & D, sales, production and logistics enable us to provide these solutions quickly. Your professional Stäubli contacts will work in direct partnership with your teams to develop precise specifications which meet your exact requirements.

Research & Development Based on the wide range of functions carried out by connection systems (seal tightness, alignment, locking systems, flow, etc), our R&D department can design the combination of functions required for your application. They pay particular attention to the interface of Stäubli components with your equipment and the incorporation of technical improvements. This demands accurate precise definition of your technical requirements to ensure the success of your application. The latest high performance technology is used by R&D in this process, including powerful CAD systems, rapid prototyping machines and dedicated test equipment. Qualification tests validate the design of Stäubli couplings by checking the suitability of components defined by your specifications. Quality Production, metrology and metallurgy departments all use the latest technology to ensure quality is central to both product and process. All the component parts of our couplings are subject to specific monitoring ensuring even material traceability. Products are assembled in a clean environment, tested to precise specifications and packaged to ensure we deliver quality items that are suitable for your application. The Quality department is able to carry out product acceptance testing in our factory with your assurance teams. Effective testing and measurement are used to qualify your products, including: - 3-axis optical measuring machine, - X fluorescence, - spectrometer, - test equipment: helium, gas, (from vacuum to 3 500 bar), oil (up to 4 000 bar), water (from 0 to 10 000 bar) hydraulic and pneumatic flow / pressure drop tests, thermal shock testing, vibration and mechanical endurance tests, corrosion resistance tests (salt mist cell). Our constant focus on quality is demonstrated by our accreditation to: ISO 9001, AQAP 2110, ISO TS 16949.

Performance, reliability, safety: our solutions to your requirements. In all its connection systems, Stäubli integrates the technical characteristics and functions that meet your application requirements. For swift progress you can believe in. Designed to meet your needs - locking system: The type of locking system is designed to meet the ergonomic and technical requirements of your application: button locking, ball locking, screw lock, bayonet, claw mechanism etc. (3) - materials: Are carefully selected for each specific application, stainless steel for high pressure, titanium for submarine applications, high-quality aluminium alloys for on board applications, etc. - seals: Specified to meet the exacting requirements for each application, depending on fluid, and temperature. - other characteristics: to be defined among various bore sizes, end connections, types of mounting (blind mate, panel mounting, hose fitting), operation functions (connection under residual pressure, etc), types of connection: single or multiple. (4) Compact Minimum size for maximum flow. Typically required for on board applications. (1) Light Stäubli selects lightest materials allowed by the application, as required for on board systems. (2) Clean-break Fluid circuits often have to be connected and disconnected. Our flush face couplings ensure a clean operation preventing the contamination of the circuit fluid, and pollution of the external environment. (5) Safe Safe sealing of pressure in both connected and disconnected conditions, the locking system that prevents any accidental disconnection are just some of the safety features built into every coupling. Current conductive Fuelling requires high integrity electrical continuity through the fluid line. For your safety, Stäubli is able to maintain the continuity of its equipment, thereby eliminating any risk of electrical arcing and explosion. (6) Reliable Ability to withstand a very large number of connections, long optimum seal tightness and resistance to aggressive outdoor environments ensure reliable use. 1 2 3
