RCS - Compressed air

Product catalog summary
Overview of RCS Compressed Air Couplings:
The RCS range of compressed air couplings by Stäubli is designed for perfect sealing, ensuring economic efficiency and optimized productivity. These couplings are engineered for security, using suitable materials and locking systems, and are individually tested for performance to provide excellent flow volume.
Key Features:
  • Automatic and Ergonomic: Easy to handle, connect, and disconnect, enhancing operator comfort and effectiveness.
  • Long-term Reliability: Built with durable technology for extended service life and low running costs.
  • Anti Hose Whip Safety System: Two-step decompression process to eliminate hose whip risks.
  • Conformity with Standards: Complies with ISO 6150 series C and ISO 4414 standards.
  • Pressure Resistance: RCS 06 withstands up to 12 bars, while RCS 08 and 11 withstand up to 16 bars.
Problem and Solution:
Compressed air systems can lose 15-30% of air due to leakage. A 1mm hole can result in a loss of 20,880 m³/year at 7 bars. The RCS range helps optimize circuit tightness, reducing energy consumption and supporting sustainable development.
Technical Specifications:
  • Rotating Version: Offers 360° and 90° rotation for optimal maneuverability, reducing RSI risks.
  • Construction: Made with chrome stainless steel and nitrile seals, featuring a single shutoff socket and free passage plug.
  • Flow and Pressure Drop: Detailed specifications for RCS 06, 08, and 11, including maximum working pressure, nominal bore, and flow rates.
Applications:
RCS couplings are suitable for line connections, extension pieces, machines, and tools in compressed air distribution systems.
Product Variants:
Includes various socket and plug configurations for different thread types and hose diameters, with options for swivel quick-release couplings and polyurethane hoses.
Global Presence:
Stäubli operates internationally, with units and agents worldwide, ensuring global availability and support.

RCS - Compressed air-2

Perfect sealing, a guarantee of economy… The RCS range gives you: controlled sealing. 15 to 30% of compressed air is lost by leakage between the compressor and the tool. 2 The RCS range uses a design dedicated to security; using the most suitable materials and locking system. The choice of Stäubli also gives you access to advice and knowledge of specialists regarding the overall performance of your installations. The calculation A 1mm hole in your circuit can cause the loss of 20880 m³/year of compressed air by leakage. Air leakage volumes on the basis of the diameter of the hole and the number...

...fine tuned technology, a guarantee of safety User and environmental safety have been of paramount importance to Stäubli for over 50 years. This key consideration guides the development of our products and especially those operating with compressed air. Anti hose whip safety system 2 pushes to eliminate risks of dangerous hose whip under pressure: • push 1 : automatic decompression of the downstream hose • ush 2 : no pressure in the hose, disconnection. p Conformity with standards - connection plugs: ISO 6150 series C standard - utomatic safety system against blow-out: a ISO 4414 standard....
