Pilot-controlled valve

Thomas Magnete USA's pilot-controlled proportional-pressure reducing valve provides variable pressure stages, fast hydraulic functionality, reduced pressure drops, minimal electrical power, and compact design. Balance of the permanent forces on the valve spool is achieved via a balance of barometric back pressure. The pilot stage is configured as a pressure regulator valve, which allows the pilot pressure to be adjusted with minimal electrical power.



Lube filter

The Donaldson P559000 lube filter for Cummins Signature and ISM engines features the multi-density Synteq filter media. The design includes an expanded media surface area in the filter element, which allows the engine lubricating oil to receive high-efficiency filtration. A wide-mouth cartridge outflow permits unobstructed oil flow from the filter media.



Wet disc brake

A wet disc brake from Knott Brake Co. is ideal for large, slow-moving equipment for use as a parking and emergency brake. Capable of generating over 2260 N•m (1665 lb•ft), the brake is spring-applied and hydraulically released. Torque level can also be adjusted using a threaded retainer plate.



Input brakes

Torque-Lock multiple disc/hydraulic release input brakes from Fairfield Manufacturing Company, Inc. are built for applications including wheel drives, swing drives, and track drives. The brakes are rated up to 1580 N•m (1165 lb•ft). Features include silicone chrome vanadium die springs and sintered bronze friction plates.



High bonding labels

SHB (Super High Bond) thermal transfer label materials from Tailored Label Products provide adhesion for difficult surfaces such as powder coatings, low- and high-surface energy plastics, lightly oiled metals, and heavily textured surfaces. The gloss white, gloss silver, and gloss clear labels are offered with 50 µm (2 mil), 100 µm (4 mil), and 178 µm (7 mil) adhesives for bonding strength.
