FOG FITTINGS Manufacturers

INDUSTRY & KNOWLEDGE

What are the features, specifications and applications of fog fittings?
Fog fittings are precision-engineered components essential for pneumatic systems that prioritize reliability and efficiency under demanding conditions. These fittings are specifically designed to cater to applications in air shift transmissions, seat controls, and dash controls, ensuring consistent performance across diverse industrial and automotive uses.

Fog fittings are constructed from CA360 brass, a material renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, machinability, and durability. This material choice provides several benefits:
Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for humid or chemically exposed environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
Strength and Longevity: The inherent toughness of brass enhances the lifespan of the fittings, reducing maintenance needs.
Thermal Conductivity: Brass's ability to withstand thermal fluctuations makes it suitable for high-temperature systems.

Key Applications
Fog fittings are versatile and primarily utilized in systems where precision and durability are vital. Typical applications include:
Air Shift Transmissions: Supporting smooth and precise gear shifting, crucial for efficient vehicle operation in commercial and industrial contexts.
Seat Controls: Enabling reliable pneumatic adjustment for ergonomic comfort in automotive or industrial seating systems.
Dash Controls: Ensuring accurate pneumatic functions for dashboard instrumentation, contributing to user control and system monitoring.

Technical Specifications
Pressure Handling:
Maximum operating pressure: 150 psi.
This robust pressure capacity ensures that fog fittings perform consistently under high-load conditions typical in pneumatic systems.
Vibration Resistance:
Fog fittings exhibit fair resistance to vibration, making them suitable for environments where moderate mechanical stress is present. While not explicitly designed for extreme vibration environments, they maintain functional integrity under standard operating conditions.
Temperature Tolerance:
Operating temperature range: -40°F to +200°F (when used with copper tubing).
This wide range allows the fittings to operate reliably in extreme cold and high-heat environments, catering to diverse geographic and industrial needs.
