SERTO quick couplings – the Q5x series at a glance


SERTO’s three series of Q50, Q51 and Q52 provide a flexible range of quick couplings for industrial and hygienically sensitive applications. Securely coded, contamination-free and particularly compact, each series meets the strictest requirements in terms of ease of use, leak tightness and reliability.

Separate products for each application

Our quick couplings can be configured flexibly. Choose from various sealant materials such as FFKM, EPDM and VMQ. Other options are also available on request.

We also offer separate cleaning and lubrication products, such as:

OX

OX – for use in oxygen systems

SI

SI – silicone-free variant for sensitive applications

FC

FC – food-safe lubricant under Regulation (EG) 1935/2004

Couplings for energy & IT – compact, reliable and can be uncoupled dry


In the energy and IT tech sectors, liquid coolant systems are essential for regulating the performance of frequency inverters, transformers, network components and server hardware.

 

SERTO stainless steel couplings can provide leakage-free connections in the tightest of spaces and are hard-wearing, low-maintenance and exceptionally reliable over extended use.

 

Typical applications

  • Coolant systems for frequency inverters, power inverters and rectifiers
  • Temperature control and refrigeration devices
Marktsegment: Pharma & Biotech

Market segment: pharma & biotech

Hygienic, safe and straightforward: coupling solutions for biotech


In pharmaceutical and biotechnological processes, media and temperature control circuits must be connected quickly, securely and without any contamination.

SERTO quick couplings meet these requirements thanks to their one-handed operation, clear mechanical and colour coding and smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces – ideal for use in clean rooms and sensitive environments.

 

Typical applications:

  • Temperature control circuits in reactors, fermenters, mixers
  • Media supply for storage tanks and filling systems
Halbleiter / Laser

Semiconductors / Lasers

Clean, coded and precise: couplings for the high-tech sector


In semiconductor and laser technology, the requirements for cleanliness, process reliability and repeatability are extremely strict.

SERTO stainless steel couplings offer leakage-free, lubricant-free and mechanically coded connections for ultrapure water, gas or solvent circuits that are reliable even under clean room conditions.

 

Typical applications:

  • Etching processes using hydrogen or acids
  • Ultrapure water and solvent circuits (isopropanol)
  • Temperature regulation with CO lasers
  • Inert gas circuits (e.g. argon)

Watch now – new at SERTO: the TechTalk video series is launching!

In our TechTalks, we will be opening the doors to our development department and giving you regular, exclusive insights into new products, technological trends and innovative solutions from the world of connection technology.

The first episode will deal with a topic that is decisive in many applications: Quick couplings

Modular & compatible: the SERTO modular system

SERTO quick couplings form part of a well-designed modular system. A wide range of connections are available, enabling the couplings to be incorporated easily and precisely into your application:

  • with internal or external thread
  • as bulkhead connectors
  • as threaded nipples
  • or with hose nozzles
  • more on request

Maximum flexibility – products from different series can be used together.
