Quick connectors for
tough requirements
Norma Group AG has launched a
new generation of quick connectors
for charged air and cooling water
systems. NormaQuick Twist III has
been developed to meet customers’
requirements for interface systems on
future turbo-charged engines.
The new generation of quick connectors
simplifies assembly and improves
quality. A new self-locking mechanism
ensures that the connector is assembled
on a mating spigot through an easy
push and pull action. This ensures
correct assembly, which in turn prevents
leakages. The new design enables
vehicle manufacturers to meet tight
emission standards.
A symmetrical design allows the
connectors to be opened from any
angle, which makes them suitable
for tight environments and spin-weld
applications. Also, as the axial to radial
ratio has been optimised,
only very low assembly
forces are required,
even for large sizes.
Specifically designed
for tough mechanical requirements,
NormaQuick Twist III is characterised
by good chemical and temperature
resistance.
Bernd Kleinhens, member of the
Norma Group management board and
responsible for business development,
said, “With this new generation of quick
connectors we prove once more that we
listen to our customers’ demands and
turn them into product innovations. They
help our customers to stay competitive
by meeting even future standards.”
NormaQuick Twist III is made of four
components, which are fully recyclable,
and is available worldwide in three
standard versions: NQ TW III SP for
applications with injection or blow
moulded plastic components; NQ TW III
V0 with a hose barb for the assembly of
elastomer hoses; and its equivalent 90°
bend version NQ TW III V90.
Norma Group manufactures a wide
range of engineered joining technology
solutions in three product categories
(clamp, connect and fluid), and offers
more than 35,000 products and solutions
to approximately 10,000 customers
in 90 countries. Its joining products
can be found in vehicles, ships, trains,
aircraft, domestic appliances, engines
and plumbing systems.
