Tube connectors Standard

The Switch&Lock 360 quick coupling from Michel Tube is characterized by its simple operation, in which the operator only has to put the male and female parts together - without paying attention to the positioning of the female coupling. When assembling, no sealing resistance has to be overcome, as a special seal is used in the system. The coupling is clearly heard and seen by the locking bolt, as it is equipped with a visual gauge / red-backed marking. This means that it can be immediately recognized, especially in poorly accessible locations or at a distance, whether the system is correctly locked. Unlocking the system - even with vibrations - is basically impossible.

Due to the guidance of the two bodies and the radii attached to the sockets, it is extremely easy for the operator to thread them in cleanly despite torsion on the hose. The sockets slide over each other first, and then the delivery pipe dips into the socket. The system impresses with two guide tubes, which ensure mechanical stability.

The coupling can be inserted at any angle of 360°. To release it, the specially shaped spring bolt is lifted with one hand or two hands.

The coupling is available in three materials and therefore price ranges, with the entry-level version consisting of a plastic housing, followed by a version made of aluminum or stainless steel for highly sensitive requirements. As the pipe adapter is always made of stainless steel, the Switch&Lock 360 coupling is generally - in all versions - only equipped with stainless steel parts in contact with the product. If the complete stainless steel version is selected, the system consists of almost 100% stainless steel.

By attaching so-called coding rings - even retrospectively - the coupling can be easily and inexpensively color-coded / mechanically coded, the mechanical patterns repeat every 120°. A total of theoretically up to 24 different patterns are available, whereby the mechanical application is more aimed at separating smaller systems or different pipeline lines in a process-safe manner. For more diverse applications, we recommend RFID coding, which is also compatible with the Switch&Lock 360 coupling.

On request, the coupling or the locking bolt can be individualized with an engraving - for example with the machine number or internal codes.

The Switch&Lock 360 coupling can be scaled inexpensively across all diameters due to its basic structure. Thanks to the variety of materials, every customer can choose the right coupling system according to their quality requirements.
