    WEH® TW18 | Product Benefits
    The WEH® TW18 is ideally suited for pneumatic and hydraulic pressure tests and functions tests on externally threaded components, i.e. engines, cylinders, pressure vessels, hoses, fittings, etc. The higher the test pressure, the tighter the WEH® Connector will clamp itself onto the thread of the test piece and provides a pressure-tight connection in seconds.

    WEH® TW18 | Actuation Possibilities
    The WEH® TW18 Quick Connector is designed for sealing standardized external thread applications. The TW18 quick connector is available with different actuations. The actuation can be easily changed at any time by simply unscrewing the rear part of the connector and replacing it with the chosen actuation. The following actuations are available: Manually with hand lever, pneumatically with valve head and pneumatically for external manual, semi or fully automatic control systems. Therefore, the TW18 is ideally suited for use in automated systems for high-volume testing during production. Special versions, e.g. connectors in longer or shorter versions, as a plug or with hydraulic actuation etc. are possible.
Description
WEH® Connector TW18P for testing of components with male thread, pneumatic actuation, vacuum up to max. 350 bar - Product family

The WEH® TW18P connector is the perfect tool for automated pressure, function and vacuum testing during production and rated for pressures up to max. 350 bar. The safe and pressure-tight connection to standardised male threads is established in just seconds – without tedious hand tightening.

No additional thread sealants are required, time-consuming and expensive clamping and testing devices are eliminated. The pneumatic actuation for external manual, semi or fully automatic control systems is effected via an external valve. On frequent connection and disconnection considerable time and cost savings are achieved thanks to automated processes.

The higher the test pressure, the tighter the WEH® Connector will clamp itself onto the test piece port thus providing added safety for operators.

The quick connector is available for low pressure up to 50 bar and high pressure up to 350 bar. For manual actuation the TW18H with hand lever is available and for pneumatic applications the TW18V with valve button is the right choice.

Features
  • Automation possible
  • Connection in seconds
  • No hand tightening required
  • Increased productivity & Cost reductions
  • WEH® Jaw Locking Mechanism
  • Ergonomic design
  • High-grade materials
  • Testing devices are eliminated
