The CLDP (Closed Loop Differential Pump) is a compact, selfcontained linear axis hydraulic drive from Voith Turbo H+L Hydraulic, Rutesheim, Germany. It offers all the usual benefits of a hydraulic system — high power density, overload ......More

HAWE’s seat-type directional valves avoid leakage otherwise associated with spool-type valves. Individual sections can be controlled by solenoids requiring only 8 W of power. Lowering the operating costs and energy demand during production is ......More

Japanese die casters find polyol esters give a productivity edge....More

Edited By Mary C. Gannon PQ series pressure sensors are designed for pneumatic applications typically found in robotics and material handling. They measure 32 30 42 mm and feature two programmable switching outputs or one switching and one ......More

In an effort to improve its competitive advantage, a Grand Rapids, Mich. manufacturer decided to automate the production testing process of AC/DC hydraulic power units. With the technical help of distributor Bond Fluidaire, also of Grand Rapids, much of ......More

HS Tooling’s NPDM II-B achieves a constant feed rate using a Mini K Kinechek from Deschner Corp. The Kinecheck uses fluid metered through orifices to keep feed speed smooth and steady. Handheld and automated tools often use air ......More

The NG 40 hydraulic overload safety device (double point version shown) prevents damage by quickly diverting hydraulic pressure from the main press cylinder when an overload occurs. Presses are probably the earliest ......More

SmartPipe compressed air distribution system is made from aluminum with a low friction coefficient, to provide high flows without rust or corrosion. Full bore fittings minimize pressure drop and leak-free connectors prevent compressed air loss. ......More

E.A.R.S compressed air technology provides quiet, clean, and efficient solutions to workers and the workplace by providing a closed loop between the air compressor and air tool by capturing exhausted air from the air tool and returning it to ......More

This year’s International Manufacturing Technology Show offers a variety of pavilions featuring the largest and latest displays of manufacturing equipment. The event will be held September 8-13 at McCormick Place, Chicago. More than 1500 exhibitors ......More

A manufacturer of industrial products had 32 hydraulic systems, all filled with mineral oil-based fluid. Six of the systems were near potential ignition sources, so they decided to fill them with one of our synthetic ester-based fluids for safety ......More

Master-slave control of two digital electrohydraulic servo axes maintain precise parallelism while producing high force and high speed. Press brakes are machines that perform precise bending of large sheet metal pieces. ......More
