Product Description

In order to meet the increased demands on industrial interfaces in flexible production applications, SMICO has developed a new pneumatic connector module - the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal.

 

The new module features robust and durable metal contacts and can be plugged/unplugged at least 10,000 times. The new module allows users to take advantage of compressed air control in production plants which are often reconfigured, e.g. in power drives, controls, brakes, holding and unloading devices.

 

Angled SMICO pneumatic metal contacts allow more space for wiring in the connector housing.

 

The new interface is characterised by an increased maximum operating pressure. Instead of the previous upper limit of 8 bar (SMICO Pneumatic Module with plastic contacts), the contacts can now withstand a constant pressure of 10 bar, covering the entire "low-pressure" range. This expands the number of possible applications for pluggable compressed air distribution systems.

 

In addition to SMICO Pneumatic Metal contacts, SMICO also offers pneumatic contacts with angled connections which simplifies the assembly of the pneumatic modules. Where there is little wiring space available in housings, the angled pneumatic contacts ensure that the bending radii of the pneumatic hoses do not fail to meet minimum dimensions.

 

As a result, malfunctions are prevented during assembly. The angled versions of the pneumatic pin and female contacts for the Metal are also equipped with push-In connection technology.

 

The angled variants increase the number of housings available for pneumatic applications. Since guide pins and sockets are no longer needed, use in all housings compatible with the SMICO-Modular series is possible, including Eco, Yellock, HA, and HB - with no restrictions.

 

SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal

Transmitting compressed air with a connector system

SMICO industrial connectors help to simplify the installation, removal, and maintenance of the connecting systems used in industrial facilities. Connectors in
the SMICO-Modular series are particularly versatile. The modules in this series can
be combined together to create many combinations of connectors. Contacts for transmitting electrical power and/or data signals can be positioned alongside contacts for compressed air connections. Ethernet, USB, FireWire, and various standards for coaxial cable networks are among the transmission types that can be used.

 

Properly prepared compressed air can be transmitted through the connector using the SMICO pneumatic Module Metal. With its blue colouring, the Pneumatic module stands out from the electrical modules. The contact pins and sockets can be used with pneumatic hoses of varying diameters, depending on your requirements. This pneumatic module can be combined with all other modules in the series. In addition to electric power and electrical signals, they can also be used to create pluggable connections that transmit fibre optic signals and compressed air.

General information

SMICO modular connectors meet the requirements for safety and testing as detailed in DIN EN 60 664-1 and DIN EN 61 984. The safety of modular connectors can be first ascertained when they are actually in the application (e.g. after the individual components have been selected and assembled together). This chapter defines the proper and intended usage of Han® Pneumatic Modules. It also provides general safety instructions for using the modules in the SMICO Modular connectors.

Proper and intended use

The SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal shall be used to transmit properly prepared compressed air in a Han-Modular® industrial connector. The module is suitable for use in pneumatic systems which have an operating pressure not exceeding 10 bar. Any other usage must be first agreed upon with SMICO.

General safety information

The following safety instructions must be followed during the installation, servicing and removal of Han-Modular® connectors (including the SMICO Pneumatic Module):

Requirements for installation

All work that is related to installation, maintenance and removal of the SMICO Modular connectors must be performed by qualified, trained staff. If electrical modules are being used within the EU, this work must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with DIN EN 50110-1/-2 and IEC 60364. The relevant national accident prevention regulations must also be observed.

Never plug or unplug while under voltage or load

SMICO Modular connectors must never be plugged in or unplugged while electrical voltages or loads are applied. This prohibition does not apply if the connector contains only pneumatic modules.

 

Protection against electric shock

SMICO Modular connectors are designed for over-voltage category III (DIN EN

60 664-1). Users must ensure that the connector is properly installed to protect against electric shock. This protection can be ensured by using the hoods and housings provided by SMICO or by other measures that the user takes during the installation.

Only suitable for compressed air

The SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal is only suitable for the transmission of dry, properly prepared compressed air. Do not use valves or sockets from the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal for transmitting other media such as other gases or liquids. Any usage that deviates from this purpose is not permissible unless it has been clarified with the relevant national associations for electrical engineering (e.g. in Germany: the VDE Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies or its regional organisations).

Permissible degree of pollution/contamination

SMICO Modular connectors are designed by default for pollution degree 3. All SMICO industrial connectors with IP54 protection or higher (IP protection classes according to DIN EN 61 984, section 6.19.2.3) comply with this pollution degree. Even connectors with a lower IP protection class are suitable for use as pollution degree 3 when they are equipped with a cap that provides them with IP54 or higher while disconnected.

 

Technical description

Module and contacts

The SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal is used to create pluggable connections for transmitting dry, properly prepared compressed air in pneumatic systems.

The female contact is available in versions with or without the shut-off function. In the shut-off version, a spring-loaded valve closes over an O-ring when the connector is opened. This prevents compressed air from escaping. When plugged in, the male contact presses against the valve and keeps the contact open.

Flow rate and pressure drop across the contact

To assist designers and planners as they select and dimension their compressed air systems, SMICO has determined the maximum flow rate, the pressure drop for the contacts of the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal.

Flow rate

The flow rate specifies the air volume that can be passed through the contacts of the SMICO pneumatic Module Metal. The ratio between the prevailing air volume (l/min) and the resulting pressure drop (bar) is shown. This ratio is used to calculate the flow rates for the various SMICO Pneumatic Metal contacts, as shown in Table 7. The flow rates were determined for the female contacts with a non-return valve.

Allowed hoods and housings

The MICOS Pneumatic Module Metal can be used with a variety of SMICO hoods and housings. An additional mechanism is needed for some hoods/housings in order to install the SMICO Modular modules (e.g. the H10A).

The high construction types of hoods and housings are normally recommended forpneumatic applications. This construction type simplifies the cabling of the modulesconsiderably; there is no need to excessively bend the pneumatic hoses. If OD female contacts with a valve are used in a bulkhead surface-mounted housing, the pneumatic contacts with angled outlets must be selected. When selecting the hoods/ housings, make sure that the bending radii of the pneumatic hoses match their respective installation situations.

Termination techniques

The SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal is offered with two different termination techniques. The selection of the proper pneumatic hose is also very important.

The following information will help you to find the proper combination of pneumatic contact and pneumatic hose:

Push-In termination technique

The pneumatic hose is clamped over the calibrated outer diameter when using the Push-In termination technique. Thus, the pneumatic contact with this connection technique is called OD (e.g. Outer Diameter). This refers to the calibrated diameter of the hose.

Termination technique using inner clamping

The inner clamping method for terminating involves pushing the pneumatic hose over the connecting surface of the pneumatic contact. Pneumatic hoses with a calibrated inner diameter should be used here. Thus, the pneumatic contact with this connection technique is called ID (e.g. Inner Diameter). This refers to the calibrated diameter of the hose.

Use of male and female guiding pins

For applying the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal the use of male (part no. 09 14 000 9908) and female guiding pins (part no. 09 14 000 9909) is not necesseraily required. The reason is that the module can withstand an oblique lengthwise tilt of more

than ±5°, in accordance with DIN EN 175 301-801. However, the use of the male

and female guiding pins is still helpful when coding adjacent industrial connectors. Possible codings are shown in the table below (Figures 2 and 3).

Assembly instructions

Assembly

The assembly process is shown using an example of the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal with three pneumatic OD contacts. The pneumatic ID contacts are assembled in a simi- lar fashion.

	Overview - SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal - 3 male OD contacts
	Overview - SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal - 3 male ID contacts
	Insert the pneumatic contact from the connection side into the pneu- matic module until you feel some resistance. Then press the contact forcefully until it snaps into the module. You will hear a click when the pneumatic contact is fully inserted into the module. The assembly of the pneumatic ID contacts is similar to the assembly of the pneumatic OD contacts
	Connect the pneumatic hose with the pneumatic contact. When using the Push-In termination, insert the hose all the way into the termination side of the contact. Pull gently on the hose to make sure it is securely attached
	Connect the pneumatic hose with the pneumatic contact. When using the ID termination technique, push the hose onto the contact.    Make sure that the end of the hose is protruding beyond the upper profile ring.    Pull gently on the hose to make sure it is securely attached.
	You can now install the completely assembled Pneumatic module in the SMICO Modular Hinged Frame. Open the hinged frame and then put the module in its proper position. Make sure that the module notches fit into the recesses of the hinged frame.
	After you have completely loaded the Han-Modular® Hinged Frame, close it by gently pressing on the outer sides of the frame. Make sure that the module's notches fit precisely into the recesses of the hinged frame.
	Slide the SMICO-Modular Hinged Frame into the hood/housing.  Make sure that the hoses are properly guided through the cable gland.  Use the four screws to mount the frame in the housing.

Removal

A specially designed removal tool is needed to remove the pneumatic contacts from the module.

1	Part number: 09 99 000 089
2	Insert the removal tool into the mating side of the Pneumatic module. The tool s prongs must spread apart the module s holding latches.
	With the removal tool properly inserted, pull the contact out of the module.
3	In order to remove the pneumatic hose from a pneumatic contact that uses Push-In termination, press the contact's blue ring while pulling on the hose
4	In order to remove the pneumatic hose from a pneumatic contact that uses the ID termination technique, cut the hose along its gripping surface. The hose can then be removed from the pneumatic contact.

Preventing malfunctions

Compressed air systems can become contaminated with solid particles, such as metal fragments, water, oils or grease. Such impurities can cause the pressure in the distribution system to drop. Leaks from hoses, contacts or valves can also cause pressure drops. Follow the operating and safety instructions for the compressed
air processing/distribution equipment closely (and also for the silencing equipment, where applicable). Also follow the safety instructions from the manufacturers of hoses, valves, and other coupling elements.
