QSM-M6-6

What type of component is this?

It is a compact, straight pneumatic push-in fitting designed to connect 6 mm outside-diameter tubing to an M6 threaded port.

What tubing size does the fitting accept?

The fitting accepts pneumatic tubing with a 6 mm outside diameter.

What threaded connection does it use?

The threaded connection is a male M6 thread with an integrated sealing ring.

How is pneumatic tubing connected?

The QSM-M6-6 uses a push-pull connection principle. The tube is inserted into the fitting and retained by an internal clamping element, while the blue release ring allows it to be disconnected.

Is this a straight or angled fitting?

This is a straight-design fitting, making it suitable for routing tubing directly away from the threaded port.

What is the nominal internal size?

The nominal size is 2.8 mm.

What operating medium is suitable for this fitting?

It is intended for compressed air conforming to ISO 8573-1:2010 class [7:-:-]. Operation with lubricated compressed air is also possible.

What is the operating pressure range?

Across the complete temperature range, the specified operating pressure is -0.95 to 6 bar, equivalent to approximately -13.8 to 87 psi. Under temperature-dependent operating conditions, the upper limit may reach 14 bar, or approximately 203 psi.

What ambient temperatures can it withstand?

The specified ambient temperature range is -10°C to 80°C, or approximately 14°F to 176°F.

What materials are used in its construction?

The housing is nickel-plated brass, the release ring is POM, the tubing seal is NBR, and the retaining element is made from high-alloy stainless steel.

Can it be installed in any orientation?

Yes. The fitting has no required mounting orientation and can be installed in the position best suited to the pneumatic assembly.

What tool size is required for installation?

The fitting has an external hexagon with a 10 mm wrench size.

How much does the fitting weigh?

The fitting weighs approximately 4.8 g, making it suitable for compact pneumatic installations where low component weight is beneficial.

What is its corrosion resistance classification?

It has corrosion resistance class CRC 1, indicating suitability for environments with low corrosion exposure.

Is the fitting RoHS compliant?

Yes. The materials used in the QSM-M6-6 are specified as RoHS compliant.

What applications commonly use this fitting?

Typical uses include connecting pneumatic tubing to compact cylinders, valve terminals, manifolds, air preparation equipment, control panels, and other automated machinery with an M6 pneumatic port.
