Cam Lock Coupling Types and Categories

What areCam Lock Couplings?

Cam lock couplings are used to connect and

disconnect pipe and industrial hose connections. These

are connected without any bolts or clamps. It is

important to review safety measures to keep the cam

lock couplings in a good condition.

Precautions:

Connect the cam lock couplings in low pressure

To check the tight and leak assembling of hose, clamp and

coupling, ensure that you test the hose assembly properly

Fluidized dry materials are normally abrasive than liquids. It is

good to review couplings in those products frequently for sudden

steps for repairing or replacement whenever required.

Appropriate alloy couplings for better results

Use of Cam Lock Couplings and Fittings:

Cam lock couplings and fittings are normal hose

connectors used in material or fluid transfer

applications. Groove fittings, cam and cam locks can

be used in water suction, fluid transfer applications,

chemical transfer applications, discharge applications

and paint processing.

Arms and internal gasket are used to design female cam lock fittings. At

the time of inserting a male cam lock fitting into a female cam lock

fitting, the arms get pulled and force the male coupling to seal and seat

against the gasket.

Types of Camlock Couplings:

Type A Camlock Coupling:

The single side adapter comes in female thread.

Its poplar standard of thread is NPT or BSP. The

image represents Type ACamlock that is used

for quick and effective connection.

Type B Camlock Coupling:

The coupler with male thread is used extensively in various industries.

Its poplar standard of thread is NPT or BSP. Here is an image

representing Type B Camlock.

Type C CamlockCoupling:

The coupler with shank is also used by many

people. Find out its model (in picture) to

examine it properly.

Type D Camlock Coupling:

The coupler with female thread is widely known

for its quality and efficiency. Its poplar standard

of thread is NPT or BSP.

Type E Camlock Coupling:

The adapter with shank provides a great

connection. Here is an image of Type E

Camlock showing its usual model.

Type F Camlock Coupling:

The adapter with male threat fits perfectly for the

better connection of hoses.

Type DC Camlock Coupling:

This is a dust cap camlock coupling. Here is a model that

represents about Type DC Camlock.

Type DP Camlock Coupling:

It includes a dust plug that is helpful in

connection of hoses pipes.

Type AA Camlock Coupling:

Unlike Type ACamlock, AA Camlock has

adapter on both the sides. Find out an image to

see how Type AA Camlock looks like.

Couplings for Instant Use:

Couplings can be used in machines for various

purposes. Even these are useful for an instant use

to accomplish the task without any delay.

Diverse Purposes of Couplings:

These can be used for reducing the transmission of shock loads

between two shafts

To adjust the vibration characteristics of the rotating units

To increase the protection for overloads

To provide for inappropriate alignment of the shafts

Advantages of Quick Release Couplings:

With quick release couplings you can operate easy actions without

any wrenching or twisting. These get shut off automatically while

disconnection of minimum fluid loss.

Straight through couplings are always recommended for the lines

that require minimum flow and without any automatic shut off

system.

Single shut off couplings are used only where automatic shut off

socked end is necessary.

Double shut off couplings are employed at the time when positive

shut off from both the ends of pressurize lines is necessary.

Fire Hose Coupling:

Fire hose couplings are instant use couplings.

These are commonly used by fire brigades to

attach fire hose and transfer water in a smooth way.

Minsup Couplings:

Minsup Claw couplings offer quick, reliable and

safe connections. These are designed using a

normal or universal claw that enables diverse

bores sizes and hose sizes for connection purpose.

Minsup Claw couplings are normally used for

transferring water and air.

Safety Bump Camlocks

Benefits of Safety Bump Camlock plugs and caps:

These provide an easy-to-use and comfortable handle for handling

hoses without any problem

Different sizes for safety bump camlock plugs and caps include

51mm, 76mm and 102mm

Safety Bump Camlocks are more costly than usual plugs and caps,

but these can prevent injuries and protect you from unforeseen

circumstances
