O-ring weld flanges

O-ring weld flanges from Filtration Products Corp. provide an economical, leak-free connection to hydraulic reservoirs or other components. The o-ring boss style thread allows a leak-free fit without using thread sealant or tape. The piloted, forged steel flange design allows for easy positioning and distortion-free welding.



Polyurethane seals

Grover Corp.'s CoolPac low-friction seals are manufactured from a liquid-cast, polyurethane compound with a low-friction additive. This method provides improved abrasion resistance and lower operating temperatures for longer seal life, reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and diminished need for lubricants in air cylinders. All seals are knife trimmed as standard.



Portable digital tester

The Flo-check PFM6 digital hydraulic test unit from Flo-tech makes all flow, pressure, and temperature measurements simultaneously, from one point. Accuracy is ±1% full range. The device monitors flows up to 750 L/min (200 gal/min), pressure to 41 MPa (600 psi), and temperatures up to 150°C (300°F).



Servo cartridge valves

A family of direct acting proportional servo cartridge valves from Microhydraulics is designed for use in packaged hydraulic circuits for mobile equipment and industrial hydraulic applications. The first valve released is the Four-Way Cartridge valve in an 11-L/min (3-gal/min) flow rate size. The valve eliminates quiescent pilot flow, yet can produce performance found in servo valves.
