Automatic Coupling Mechanisms (AKM Systems)

Automatic Coupling Mechanisms (AKM Systems)

The control pressure should correspond to the media pressure of port P. Various media can be coupled. But the pilot control should be done hydraulically. 


Both coupling surfaces of the AKM system are flat at the front end. So the

user can put it in any axial and/or radial position for coupling and controlling. 


The coupling stroke is initiated by an integrated control piston. Thus enables also a precise control of individual ports. 


When the control port is not pressurized, the AKM is set into the basic position. The maximum operating pressure is 350 bar. 


The AKM can be operated single-acting or double-acting. If the AKM should operate single-acting, the port B (Z) must be used for housing ventilation.
