MAXTOR PU 10x6 mm Pneumatic Blue Hose

MAXTOR Polyurethane Pneumatic Blue Hose (PU 10 x 6mm): Flexible and Durable Air Transfer

Pneumatic hoses are vital for safely and efficiently transporting compressed air from valves to cylinders, motors, or other equipment in pneumatic automation systems. MAXTOR Polyurethane (PU) Pneumatic Hose is one of the most preferred materials in this field, and with an outer diameter of 10 mm and an inner diameter of 6 mm, it is an ideal solution for medium-sized pneumatic circuits.

The blue color of the hose also helps to easily distinguish the function of the hose or the circuit to which it belongs in installations.

What is Polyurethane (PU) Pneumatic Hose and What Does It Do?

Polyurethane (PU) hoses are used in pneumatic systems to transfer compressed air, vacuum, and certain fluids. Their high flexibility, light weight, and durability make them one of the most commonly used hose types in pneumatic systems.

Main Functions:

• Compressed Air Transfer: It transmits the compressed air from the compressor to pneumatic cylinders, valves and tools.

• Vacuum Lines: Used in vacuum holding or conveying systems.

• Mechanical Mobility: Ideal for applications subject to constant bending and strain, especially robotic arms or moving machinery.

• Airborne Fluid Transfer: It can be used to transfer water and some chemicals using air pressure.

Highlights and Advantages of MAXTOR PU 10 x 6 mm Hose:

• High Flexibility and Lightweight: Polyurethane (PU) material offers a more flexible and lightweight structure than rubber hoses. This allows the hose to be easily routed and used in tight spaces.

• Durability: Highly resistant to abrasion, kinking, abrasion, and impact. PU hoses are softer than the more rigid polyamide (PA) hoses, allowing them to seal better with push-in fittings.

• Wide Operating Range:

  • Working Pressure: Generally, it works safely between -1 Bar and +10 Bar .

  • Operating Temperature: It has a wide temperature range from -20°C to +70°C .

• Easy Connection: Metric dimensions (10 x 6 mm) offer full compatibility with Maxtor and other pneumatic fitting brands. Easy installation with quick-connect fittings (push-in fittings).

• Chemical Resistance: Provides good resistance to oil, grease and some chemicals.

• Aesthetics and Recognizability: The blue color allows different lines in the system (e.g. air supply line) to be easily distinguished from other lines.

• Standardization: Information such as outer diameter and marking (e.g. PU 10x6mm) is included on every 1 meter of the hose, facilitating quality and tracking.

• Long-Lasting: Since it is made of high-quality material, it can be used for many years without problems such as cracking or tearing.

Areas of Use:

• Industrial Automation: Pneumatic cylinders, valves, robotic arms, robotic systems.

• Machinery Manufacturing: Packaging machines, textile machines, presses and other pneumatic machines.

• Pneumatic Tools: Air tools (guns, screwdrivers).

• Compressor Systems: Air distribution lines and in-line connections.

• Food and Beverage Industry: Pneumatic control under suitable conditions.

• Medical Devices: Some pneumatic medical equipment.
