Quick connect coupling Multi Cupla MAM-B-2S8, brass - Nitto Kohki 349826711

On machines and test rigs, lines are disconnected and reconnected several times a day. The Multi Cupla series from Nitto Kohki covers that job with 120 versions in brass, steel or stainless steel, each available as a socket and as the matching plug.

• Bodies in brass, steel or stainless steel (SUS), so the coupling suits the environment at the installation point.
• Seals in NBR or FKM, which lets the material pairing be matched to the medium being carried.
• Every socket has a plug of the same size, for example MALC-4S and MALC-4P, which keeps spare part stocking simple.
• Sizes 01, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 within the same model line, so different port sizes stay inside one coupling system.
• 120 articles in a single series, from the individual coupling to the MAM, MALC, MALS, MALT, MAS and MAT versions.

Models in this series MULTI CUPLA MAM-B Type

Every model of the series as printed in the manufacturer catalogue. The row of the article offered here is highlighted.

Operating principle

• Handles several ports at once.
• Simple manual lever action completes easy connection/disconnection.
• Two-stage lever operation prevents CUPLA from accidental dropping due to sudden detachment.
• Comes with lock mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection.
• Large flow equivalent to that of SP CUPLA Type A.
• Two kinds of plates are available for each size.
• Automatic shut-off valves in both socket and plug prevent fluid spill out on disconnection.
• Self-aligned valve design provides safety sealing of individual socket or plug when disconnected.

Series comparison

Pick the MULTI CUPLA MAM-B Type when air or water at 1.0 MPa {10 kgf/cm2} has to be changed over on 6 to 12 ports in one operation and both halves must seal on disconnection, since the two-stage manual lever and the lock mechanism deliver that without any external drive. The MAM Type is one-way shut-off with a valve on the socket side only and is rated 0.7 MPa {7 kgf/cm2}, while the MAM-A Type shares the 1.0 MPa {10 kgf/cm2} rating and two-way shut-off. For higher pressures, look at the MAS Type and MAT Type at 7.0 MPa {71 kgf/cm2} or the MALC-HSP Type at 21.0 to 25.0 MPa {214 to 255 kgf/cm2}.

Applications

• Tool and fixture changes where lines are disconnected on a regular basis
• Test and measuring benches with changing setups
• Plant modules that are uncoupled quickly for service and rebuilds
• Installation points in corrosive surroundings, which is what the stainless steel (SUS) versions are intended for

Safety and application notes

• Before use, please be sure to read "Safety Guide" described at the end of this book and "Instruction Sheet" that comes with the products.
