Monitoring Pneumatics Makes All the Difference
A new conditionmonitoring system lets manufacturers watch the performance and energy consumption of air-powered equipment.
New Connectors Ease Hydraulic Assembly
Push-to-connect fittings install fast and help prevent leaks.
SAE Port Plugs
Port plugs manufactured to SAE J514 Standards are suited for sealing threaded holes and ports.
Charge Valve with Gear Pump
An integrated accumulator charge valve and gear-pump package reduces plumbing and mounting hardware typically needed, resulting in less-complex, moredurable, and efficient systems.
Compact Power Unit
Newly redesigned KA compact power unit for intermittent service suits a range of machine-tool, highpressure, and clamping applications.
Flange Adapters
New one-piece flange adapters are machined from round stock and hot-pierce bent to the desired angle — eliminating braze and weld points.
Heat-Resistant Hose
MegaSys hydraulic hoses bend to one-half the SAE specification, easing installation and reducing hose assembly length and costs.
Hydraulic Products: Axial-Piston Pump
The redesigned A4VG variable pump is for closed-circuit applications.
Hydraulic Products: Cartridge Valves
SVRV10-26 dual-function cartridge valves combine a normally open solenoid valve with an integral nonadjustable relief valve.
Manual Lever Valve
Manual lever (MLV9) screwin cartridge valves are rated for pressures to 210 bar (3,000 psi).
Mobile Controls
New control systems available in economical and high-end versions have been added to the iFLEX family.
Motor-Mount Manifolds
Four types of ready-to-mount hydraulic integrated circuits (HICs) that fit seven low-speed, high-torque motors are said to speed production of off-highway mobile machinery.
Redundant Sensor
The redesigned Temposonics MT magnetostrictive position sensor provides fully redundant measurement capabilities.
Vacuum Dehydrator
New SVD vacuum dehydrator simultaneously removes water, gases, and solid contaminants from hydraulic fluids.
Tight-Bend Hose
New 692 hose is designed specifically for material-handling and over-thesheave applications.
