Claw couplings as a robust connection technology

Claw couplings connect two matching coupling halves via their interlocking geometry. This principle enables a quick mechanical connection and is used in compressed air and hose systems where lines need to be connected or disconnected regularly.

What role do the drill holes play?

In the designs summarized here, holes are an integral part of the structural design. When selecting them, the position, diameter, and intended function of the holes must match the corresponding counterpart or the fastening situation. Since different systems may appear similar externally, dimensions and design should be verified before ordering.

Check dimensions and connection side

In addition to the coupling geometry, the dimensions of the connected line are relevant. For hose systems, the inner and outer diameters as well as the wall thickness are among the key selection criteria. For threaded or flanged connections, the exact connection type is crucial.

Seals and Operating Conditions

The seal is an essential component of the connection. It must fit the coupling and be suitable for its intended application, and should be inspected regularly for wear or damage. In addition, the medium, operating pressure, and environmental conditions must be taken into account when selecting a system.

Install securely and inspect regularly

For pressurized lines, the connection must be properly installed and tested before operation. The coupling, seal, fastening, and mating part should be considered as a single integrated system. We are happy to assist you in selecting suitable components based on the available dimensions and connection type.
