Abstract: A bellows pump device includes a control unit which, before operation of the bellows pump device is started, performs initial control in which solenoid valves are switched and pressurized air is supplied to suction-side air chambers in advance, thereby determining operation air pressures which are air pressures of the pressurized air to be supplied to the suction-side air chambers during the operation. As the initial control, the control unit outputs control commands to electropneumatic regulators so as to gradually increase the air pressures of the pressurized air to be supplied to the suction-side air chambers in advance, and when detection signals resulting from detection of expansion positions of the bellows are inputted from the proximity sensors to the control unit, the control unit determines the air pressures of the pressurized air supplied to the suction-side air chambers at that time as the operation air pressures.

The bulge portion has a tapered portion configured to generate a surface pressure between the tube and the tapered portion by pressing by the union nut. An outer circumferential surface of the tapered portion has a concave surface portion formed in a concave surface shape in an axial cross-sectional view.

Abstract: A sleeve, a cylindrical member for connecting a tube to a tubular body of a fitting, includes a first peripheral wall end portion facing a peripheral wall end portion of the tubular body, and a second peripheral wall end portion pressed into an open end of the tube. The first peripheral wall end portion includes either an annular protrusion or groove. The annular protrusion is pressed into an annular groove in the peripheral wall end portion of the tubular body. The annular groove allows an annular protrusion axially projecting from the peripheral wall end portion of the tubular body to be pressed thereinto. The second peripheral wall end portion includes a bulge portion to expand the diameter of the open end of the tube. An outer periphery of the first peripheral wall end portion includes a flange to axially face the peripheral wall end portion of the tubular body.

The first shaft side seal ring 71 and the second shaft side seal ring 72 have contact surfaces 71b and 72b axially facing each other and coming into contact with each other, and grooves 421c and 421d for forming a second communication flow passage 42 connecting a second outer flow passage 32 and a second inner flow passage 62 are formed in both the contact surfaces 71b and 72b.

Abstract: One of an external thread of a fitting body and an internal thread of a sleeve includes two thread ridges and the other includes two thread grooves. The two thread ridges have transverse cross sections different in shape or size. A transverse cross section of the first thread groove allows that of the first thread ridge to be fit thereinto. A transverse cross section of the second thread groove prevents that of the first thread ridge from being fit thereinto but allows that of the second thread ridge to be fit thereinto. A leading portion of the second thread ridge is tapered in width. A leading portion of the first thread groove is inversely tapered in width. A leading portion of the first thread ridge has a transverse cross section that extends beyond a transverse cross section of the leading portion of the second thread groove.

Abstract: A fitting body is tubular, whose first and second axial end portions include a connector for a tube and an annular groove, respectively. A sleeve has first and second axial end portions including an annular protrusion and a connector for another tube, respectively. A nut is engaged with an external thread of the fitting body or the sleeve. Engagement of the external thread with the nut causes press—fit of the annular protrusion into the annular groove to form a seal region. Under a condition that a depth of the annular groove is three or more times as large as a thickness of a radially inward or outward wall of the annular groove, an axial distance from the seal region to a bottom of the annular groove exceeds ten times an increment width of the annular groove caused by the press-fit of the annular protrusion into the annular groove.
