• Hydraulic or pneumatic quick disconnect systems
• Sintered brass or stainless steel
• Complex geometries achieved net-shape
• Alternative production methods are cost prohibitive

ASCO Sintering Co. produces a wide range of valve guides and poppet retainers for quick disconnect couplings globally used in different market segments such as agriculture, construction, transportation and fire and rescue. These components are used extensively in flat face/dry break and cup series ISO 16028 fluid transfer and hydraulic connectors. The parts range in size from 10mm to 40mm diameter poppets and guides and are produced using a variety of materials including brass, stainless steel, heat treated steels, sinter-hardened steels and ASCO’s specialty HI-IMPAC series of super tough steels.
