What is a Fitting (Rakor)?

A fitting (rakor) is an important connection element used in the air and brake systems of heavy-duty vehicles, connecting different parts to each other. These components, particularly used in pressurized air systems, contribute to the smooth operation of the system by ensuring safe air passage.

Functions and Working Principle of a Fitting (Rakor)
  • Providing Sealing: Creates a secure connection by preventing leakage in pressurized air systems.
  • Facilitating Airflow: Ensures proper circulation of air in the system.
  • Durability and Flexibility: Designed to withstand various air pressure levels.

The functional design of fittings increases compatibility within the systems of heavy-duty vehicles and optimizes system performance.

Types of Fittings (Rakor)
  • Air System Fittings: Used in brake and suspension systems that operate with pressurized air.
  • Hydraulic Fittings: Preferred for ensuring fluid passage in hydraulic systems.
  • Adapter Fittings: Used for connecting different types of pipes or hoses.
  • Connection Fittings: Provides connection between hoses and valves.
Areas of Use for Fittings (Rakor)
  • Air Brake Systems: Makes the passage of pressurized air safe during braking.
  • Suspension Systems: Provides leak-proof connections in air suspensions.
  • Fuel Systems: Serves as a connection element in fuel lines.
  • Trailer and Tractor Systems: Used in air connections between trailers and tractors.

Choosing the appropriate fitting for each system directly affects the safety and performance of heavy-duty vehicles.

Advantages of Using Fittings (Rakor)
