ARaymond, a global leader in fastening and assembly systems, announced that it is expanding into the field of pneumatic systems for commercial vehicles with its new AIRYOSA™ line – offering a full line of connectors, fasteners and tubes to be used as part of key vehicle systems such as braking and suspensions.
“The cutting edge AIRYOSA™ line-up breaks new ground for ARaymond and we’re excited about the path forward in the pneumatics sector. We are proud to release a new and complete set of products and solutions in the pneumatic market, leveraging our long-standing expertise in fluid handling for commercial vehicles,” states Gerald Vincent, ARaymond global commercial vehicles market coordinator. “These products will provide improved safety, ergonomics, and sustainability during the assembly process and the vehicle’s lifetime.”
Key benefits of the AIRYOSA™ product line for commercial vehicles include improved ergonomics, as the AIRYOSA™ Quick Connectors (QC) are designed to reduce insertion force by approximately 30%. With more than 110 end piece connections and 130 tube insertions to complete per vehicle – these components can save on installation time, reduce risk of misassembly and preserve worker health.
AIRYOSA™ products also offer advantages with lightweighting and compact assembly, with the company highlighting its pneumatic products are designed to deliver a 17% reduction in weight. This will lower overall vehicle weight and support the sustainability goals of OEMs. Standard tools can be used for disassembly and an eco-friendly design made with bio-based materials enables a more than 50% reduction in CO2 emissions during manufacturing processes.
Wear-resistant features enable easy maintenance even after extended service in harsh environments. Also, with all connectors, tubes and fastening solutions coming from one place, ARaymond can be a single-source supplier in the pneumatics field, including the option for customised parts and solutions.
“We can now provide commercial vehicle customers with a wide range of products for the design and assembly of their pneumatic systems, including connectors, tubes and fasteners. We are excited to start working with our long-term commercial vehicle OEM partners on new pneumatic projects,” Vincent said.
