Our Range of Hydraulic Quick Release Couplings

We don’t believe in – one size fits all. Every sector has its own challenges and our QRCs / QDC are designed to meet those exact needs:

  • Quick Release Hydraulic Couplings (QRCs) – Rugged and tested for Chennai’s demanding industrial environments.
  • Single & Double Check Valve QRCs – Prevent backflow and ensure leak-free performance.
  • Flat Face Couplers – Ideal for industries like pharma and food processing where cleanliness is key.
  • Agricultural Hydraulic Couplers – Built tough for farms around Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, and nearby districts.
  • QR Couplers – Compact connectors for machinery where speed of connection matters.

Many of our clients in Sriperumbudur’s manufacturing belt use our flat face couplers to reduce oil spillage and improve safety compliance.

Hydraulic Quick Release Couplings are used for high pressure applications in the pressure range of 150 bar to 400 bars and are generally Double Check Valve type design.  There are different types of Hydraulic Quick Release Couplings :

Types of Hydraulic Quick Release Couplings

ISO 7241 A Quick Release Coupling

These are high pressure Double Check Valve Quick Release Couplings.  These are Poppet Double Check Valve Type having check valves at both Coupler and Adaptor ends. This type is generally used in : 

  • Agriculture equipment (tractors, harvesters)

  • Construction machinery

  • Mobile hydraulics

  • Hydraulic power packs

  • Industrial hydraulic systems

  • General-purpose hydraulic connections

These are used in the above applications because, they are : 

  • Robust

  • Easy to connect

  • Widely available globally

  • Good for general hydraulic oil applications

ISO 7241 B Quick Release Coupling

The ISO 7241 B QRC Couplings are also high pressure Double Check Valve Quick Couplings.  These are also Poppet Valve type having check valves at both Coupler and Adaptor ends.  These are used in : 

  • Industrial hydraulic systems

  • Machine tools

  • Test benches

  • Hydraulic Manifolds and Test Rigs
  • Hydraulic power units

  • Industrial automation systems

  • Injection molding machines

These are used in the above areas because they are : 

  • Often offers slightly better sealing than A type

  • More popular in industrial OEM equipment

  • Good for repeated connect/disconnect cycles

ISO 16028 Flat Face Quick Release Couplings

This  is a Hydraulic Quick Disconnect Coupling that conforms to ISO 16028 international standards.  These couplings are designed to provide leak-free, contamination-free, and high-performance connections in demanding hydraulic applications.  Unlike the Poppet type Quick Couplers these couplings have a Flat Mating Surface between the Female Coupler and Male Adaptor ends.  This flat face design give major advantages such as : 

  • Extremely low oil spillage during disconnection

  • Minimal air inclusion during reconnection

  • Easy cleaning of the coupling face

  • Better system cleanliness and longer component life

 

Key Features of 16028 Flat Face Quick Couplings

  • The flat face design results in minimum fluid loss
  • The double check valve design offers maximum safety
  • These can work under high pressures between 250 to 450 bars
  • They give maximum protection to the fluid against contamination
  • The surface is easy to clean and ideal for outdoor applications
  • The locking mechanism is Push to Connect type
  • All brands coming under the ISO 16028 standards are interchangeable

 

Where are ISO 16028 QRC Couplings used ?

These couplings are generally used where prevention of leakage and cleanliness of the fluid is of utmost importance.  These are commonly used in :

  • Excavators and earthmoving equipment

  • Construction machinery

  • Mining equipment

  • Forestry machinery

  • Agricultural machinery

  • Mobile hydraulic systems

  • Hydraulic attachments and tool changers

  • Oil & gas equipment

  • High-end industrial machines

  • Test benches and hydraulic rigs

Advantages of Flat Face ISO 16028 Quick Release Couplings over other coupling standards

Compared to conventional ISO 7241 A or B type couplings, ISO 16028 offers several advantages:

FeatureISO 16028 Flat Face
Oil spillageExtremely low
Air inclusionVery minimal
Ease of cleaningExcellent (flat surface)
Suitability for dirty environmentsVery high
System cleanlinessMaintained
Environmental friendlinessHigh
