PARKER AEROSPACE STRATOFLEX...
Non-latching automatic self-sealing and Thread-Lok Quick Disconnect (QD) valved hose couplings are manufactured by the Stratoflex Products Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation.
Automatic couplings are recommended for use with today's advanced precision fluid systems for space flight, aircraft, ground and undersea applications. Stratoflex non-latching automatic self-sealing couplings are designed for use in diverse applications like electronic cooling systems, hydraulic accumulators/cylinders, brake systems, manifolds, vapor cycle and cryogenic systems. Automatic couplings are best utilized where space is limited, and hands off operation is required. Small envelope, high performance and unsurpassed reliability are key features of Stratoflex non-latching couplings. Available in different tube sizes, from sub-miniature to one inch in aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium and other exotic materials. They meet SAE Aerospace Standards AS4251,AS5072/1/2/3.
The Parker Stratoflex’s Thread-Lok Quick Disconnect (QD) valved couplings provide a proven solution for fluid conveyance systems for aerospace and derivative markets when envelope and weight are important and robust performance is critical. Applications range from hydraulic, fuel, and cooling systems to pneumatic, air data systems, landing gears, wheel and brakes hydraulic fluid motors, military ground vehicles and space applications. Their respective Thread-Lok Ground Service Equipment (GSE) Quick Disconnect (QD) couplings are intended for use with fluid conveyance systems providing a robust connection for ground service equipment to the aircraft flight systems. The Thread-Lok QD is used in a wide range of pressure and temperature applications.
They integrate a highly reliable and robust positive locking mechanism to ensure the performance needed in difficult aircraft system environments such as the engine nacelle, landing gear and brake systems, and other QD demanding installations . The Thread-Lok QD couplings can be used in a wide range of pressure and temperature applications while they provide a simple one-hand operation to thread the QD halves together with a visual confirmation of proper and full coupling to improve both time and safety.
The Thread-Lok QDs incorporate tang and slot design, with QDs engaging and locking in one position when the coupling halves are threaded together and fully connected, providing both visual and touch indication of the fully connected position. They use Parker’s efficient, self-sealing valve design that permits fluid flow with minimum pressure loss and turbulence.
Available in different tube sizes, from ¼ to one inch. Their stainless steel construction meets typical electrical bonding requirements.They meet or exceed MIL-C-25427 and AS1709 specifications.
