SMCThe KXL08-01S is an SMC KX series high-speed rotary quick-change coupling, elbow type, suitable for pipes with an outer diameter of 8mm and R1/8 thread.
It employs a double ball bearing structure, enabling high-speed rotary motion up to 20 rpm with extremely low rotational torque, making it suitable for oscillating/rotating parts of robots. After pipe insertion, a gripper mechanism prevents the pipe from falling out during rotation. The main body is nickel-plated for a copper-free design. It is suitable for air and vacuum systems, with an operating pressure range of -0.1 to 1 MPa.

Q: Where is the KXL08-01S suitable for use?
A: Primarily suitable for pneumatic pipeline connections requiring continuous oscillation or rotation. For example, joints of industrial robots, rotary tables of automated equipment, or any moving parts requiring follow-up air supply. It can withstand high-speed rotation (up to 20 rpm) with extremely low torque, without interfering with the mechanism's movement.
Q: Can this connector be used in vacuum systems?
A: Yes, it can be used in vacuum systems. Its operating pressure range is -0.1~1 MPa, covering vacuum to positive pressure. However, please note: SMC explicitly states that this series cannot be used in leak detectors or applications with extremely high vacuum pressure requirements, as zero leakage cannot be guaranteed; additionally, grease may seep into the interior during vacuum use.
Q: What should be noted during installation? Are there any requirements for piping?
A: Note three points:
Pipe material: Suitable for FEP, PFA, nylon, soft nylon, polyurethane, etc., with an outer diameter of 8mm.
Thread pre-coated: Standard products come with sealant; no additional Teflon tape is required during installation.
Do not disassemble: The high-speed rotary joint has a delicate internal structure; do not attempt to disassemble it to avoid damaging the bearings and seals.
