Swing-Couplings eliminate the common hazards associated with connecting and disconnecting pneumatic couplings and quick disconnects. They eliminate the hose whiplash effect by requiring the user to first pull back a locking collar, then swing a plug into position for release. This two-stage operation eliminates whip and ensures a safe disconnect.

Z-Series spiral-bevel gearboxes serve as speed reducers or increasers while delivering an efficiency of 96% to 99%. Available in seven sizes and six model types, the units are constructed of case hardened and lapped alloy steel, spiral-bevel gears, ensuring low noise, reduced backlash, and less transmission error. Two and three-shaft models have capacities from 2 hp to 540 hp.
