Claw Coupling and Seal as a System

In a claw coupling, the claws of two mating coupling halves interlock. The rotational movement mechanically locks the connection. The seal plays a central role at the contact point between the coupling halves. This category includes models with brass seals.

Correctly classify brass seals

A brass seal is not a universal replacement part for just any claw coupling. Its shape, dimensions, and contact surfaces must match the specific coupling model. Before replacing or purchasing a new one, you should therefore examine the existing coupling, its mating part, and the seal together.

Connection type and pipe size

Depending on the system, claw couplings can be combined with different connection ends. It is crucial that the connection fits the existing pipe or hose. For hose connections, the hose dimensions are particularly important; for threaded connections, the thread type must be clearly identified.

Take operating conditions into account

To make an appropriate selection, the medium, pressure load, and application environment must be taken into account. Statements regarding permissible operating values should always be based on the specific coupling design and should not be derived solely from the sealing material.

Check for wear and contact surfaces

Couplings, locking surfaces, and seals should be inspected regularly for damage, wear, and deformation. In pressurized systems, a flawless mechanical connection is particularly important. We would be happy to assist you in selecting a suitable claw coupling with a brass seal.
