Abstract
The invention relates to a block of pneumatic modules consisting of a plurality of adjacent distribution modules, juxtaposed and kept tightened against each other along parallel faces and between two end modules by assembly means passing through all the distribution modules and at least one of the end modules. The assembly means comprise, for each distribution module, a single through rod with a first externally threaded end and a second internally threaded end, the second end of each rod being shaped as a head whose external surface is not of revolution about the axis of the rod and which, in service, at least partially projects from a face of the module through which the rod passes, the face of the adjacent module turned towards the head having a recess corresponding in shape to the above mentioned head.
