Eaton has announced the launch of a new electrohydraulic (EH) cylinder featuring valve integration. The new product comprises a high-performance industrial cylinder, precision feedback transducer and control valve in one package to create a single-source solution which offers significant cost (more...)

In both hydraulic and lubrication systems knowing the particulate cleanliness and water content data can prevent serious system failures and component damage. By testing oil cleanliness in real time, the necessary protection can be put in place to protect sensitive components. (more...)

Automated process control has delivered a host of benefits to industries such as water treatment, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals. Increasing productivity, safety and cleanliness are just a few of the advantages to controlling a range of processes with either centralised or distributed (more...)

Michael Sharpe of Hydrotechnik UK and Andrew Biggs of UK Flowtechnik provide an insight into the importance of an effective re-calibration regime. Calibration is a testing procedure used to make sure that the current tolerance, accuracy and functionality of sensors such as pressure, flow and (more...)

Eaton has expanded its range of hydraulic hoses with the launch of the Dynamax EC881 hose series. Qualified to one million impulse cycles, this new two wire-braided hose has been designed to last and withstand tough applications. Intended for deployment in mobile applications such as compact (more...)

As companies involved in oil and gas exploration and production continue to push the boundaries into deeper wells and more hostile environments, the reliable operation of drilling, completion and production equipment under the most extreme environments has never been more important. There are many (more...)

Festo has developed a new range of piezo valve based pressure regulators that deliver smooth, precise pressure control and metering suitable for a wide range of applications. Originally, the characteristics of piezo valves made them ideal for medical applications, as Paul Kendall, MedLab sector (more...)

Lee Cross Port Plugs are a plugging solution specifically engineered to seal cross port passageways. This configuration is a variation of the original Lee Plug – a smooth wall design combined with the field-proven controlled expansion principle creates a permanent, leak-proof seal, without the (more...)

Do you work with Pneumatic Tools? Are you regularly connecting and disconnecting tools to and from couplings? If so, you may well understand the strain you put yourself under when connecting couplings that are under pressure. Kee Connections has developed a low connection force valve (pictured (more...)

Manufacturing processes that operate under hygienic conditions are arguably under more pressures to increase efficiency and reduce waste due to high relative operating costs. However, this specialist area is required to prioritise cleanliness and precision ahead of other considerations, which can (more...)
