screw-inanti-vibrationunion

Maximator anti-vibration collet gland assemblies are for use in applications where there could be extreme external mechanical vibrations or shock in tubing lines. These collet gland assemblies are interchangeable with the standard high pressure coned and threaded tube connections. In a normal coned and threaded tube connection, any external mechanical loading on the tubing lines, valves or fittings, would be concentrated on the first thread of the tube. This can cause failure of the tube at this thinner cross-section. The anti-vibration collet gland assembly grips the tube behind the connection, supporting the tube at the full cross-section and straight area, moving the loading away from the threaded area. The anti-vibration collet gland assembly, when tightened properly, compresses a split collet on the tube, providing the beneficial gripping action. All anti-vibration collet gland assemblies come with a Molybdenum Disulfide Coating to guard against galling of the stainless components.
