Series 09 cartridge valves for proportional and on/off pilot control of clutches, brakes and directional control valves are a hybrid product that combines 10 size cavity with 08 size tube/coil. Two on/off valves offer a choice of 2-position, 3-way (SV09-23-02) or 2 position, 4-way (SV09-24-01)....More

Versatile Base (VB) series of controllers is rated for 8 to 32 Vdc input power and temperatures from –40° to 80°C. Based on PLC on a Chip technology, it suits standard and custom I/O expander boards and is programmed with EZ Ladder software which supports ladder diagram with function block programming....More

Miniature 375 spring-biased shuttle valve is ideal for system pressures to 5000 psi. Poppet in this 3⁄8-in. diameter shuttle valve is biased so emergency port is NC, and the normal and service ports are connected....More

BIP linear inductive position sensor features absolute measuring for position monitoring in drive spindles and clamping devices for tools and workpieces. It is non-contact and detects linear travel to 40 mm, while offering resolution of 14 µm, high repeat accuracy of ±80 µm and non linearity of ±250 µm....More

JPC series check valves use a poppet design and provide a variety of port configurations. They work as a standard check valve, but can be operated with an air pilot signal providing for “free flow” in the normally checked position....More

Author Tom Nash talks about installing hydraulic control systems and the differences between installing them vs. electrical and plumbing connections....More

Despite some open air flow, simple devices such as check valves and flow restrictors help suction cups keep a tight hold on products....More

The simplest way to reduce flow (and increase pressure) is to create a restriction. If that restriction is intentional, we normally use the symbol in example a). Sometimes the simple restriction is called an orifice. What matters is the inside diameter is reduced and then generally expanded again after the restriction.

One of the biggest complaints (and sometimes myths) about hydraulic systems is that they are noisy, and although this is not always true, noise in a hydraulic application is not a good thing. And sometimes, noise isn’t always audible, but more often, a vibration. As noise travels through the components the operator comes into contact with, the operator is exposed to these vibrations. Specially designed hydraulic hose can help to alleviate this problem....More
