6mm x 4mm Pneumatic Air Compressor Tube

6mm x 4mm Pneumatic Air Compressor Tube is an essential component for building reliable and leak-free compressed air systems in robotics, automation, and general industrial environments. Constructed from high-quality materials like Polyurethane (PU) or Nylon, this tube handles demanding pressure while remaining highly flexible and resistant to abrasion. With a 6mm outer diameter (OD) and a 4mm inner diameter (ID), this tubing is perfectly sized for connecting standard push-to-connect fittings, solenoid valves, and pneumatic cylinders. Its consistent dimensions and durable composition ensure efficient air flow and long-term integrity, minimizing downtime and maximizing the performance of your pneumatic actuators.

Key Features:

• Optimal Flexibility: The tubing material, often PU, bends easily around corners and tight spaces without kinking, simplifying installation.
• High Pressure Rating: Withstands typical operating pressures found in automated assembly lines and air tool applications.
• Excellent Abrasion Resistance: The robust outer skin protects the tubing from wear and tear, extending its service life in dynamic systems.
• Consistent Dimensions: Maintains strict 6mm OD and 4mm ID tolerances, ensuring a tight, secure seal with standard pneumatic quick-connect fittings.
• Lightweight Design: Its low mass reduces drag and inertia in moving parts of a machine or robot arm.

Technical Specifications:

• Working Medium: Compressed Air, Inert Gases, Vacuum
• Operating Pressure: Typically 0 to 10 Bar (0 to 145 PSI)
• Burst Pressure: ≈ 25 Bar (360 PSI)
• Operating Temperature: ≈ -20°C to 80°C
• Hardness: ≈ 95A (Shore Hardness for PU)

Mechanical Specifications:

• Material: Polyurethane (PU), Polyethylene (PE), or Nylon
• Bend Radius: Small, allowing for compact plumbing configurations.
• Resistance: Good resistance to oil, gasoline, and many solvents.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with push-to-connect (quick-fit) fittings.

Dimensions:

• Outer Diameter (OD): 6.0 mm
• Inner Diameter (ID): 4.0 mm
• Wall Thickness: 1.0 mm
• Weight: ≈ 0.02 kg/meter

Pinout and Wiring:

• Note: This is a fluid handling tube and does not use electrical pinouts or wiring.
• Connection: Cut the tube cleanly and square, then firmly push it into the receiving quick-connect fitting until it locks. Pull to ensure a secure connection.
• Disconnection: Press and hold the release collar on the fitting, then pull the tube out.
