Eaton has announced the launch of the CMT mobile valve section, a streamlined new section option for the CMA advanced mobile valve. With the capability to control two bidirectional services from one section – an industry first – the CMT valve section increases design flexibility and (more...)

As semiconductor node sizes drop below 10 nanometers and wafer test cells demand greater efficiency and throughput, semiconductor equipment manufacturers need to dispense and meter small volumes of critical fluids under intense operating conditions. These high-performance systems demand field-proven (more...)

The medical IVD market is currently undergoing rapid change that is challenging instrument designers at many levels to meet new demands. It’s also a large, growing market and includes the development of instruments for key applications such as COVID-19 testing. Increased cost pressures for (more...)

The new Elesa FH modular coolant hose system provides a popular solution in metal cutting and machining applications, and for lubricating large compressors and other equipment, in the oil and gas industries. This modular system using snap assembly of the single elements allows adjustment of the (more...)

In today’s environment technology is constantly pushing for improved system efficiencies and industrial hydraulic systems is a good example of this where reduced weight and size of components and increased system pressures are often among the key requirements. With these objectives in mind a (more...)

Essentra Components is not only a manufacturer of high quality stock and custom industrial components, but is also happy to share its expertise through an online Knowledge Centre – in this case with its new Hydraulic Hose Protection guide – downloadable here. During the course of (more...)

Hydrocam hydraulically operated bolt tensioners are designed to offer far greater accuracy compared with alternative fixing methods. Hydrocam removes uncertainty over the performance and long-term reliability of couplings. It also saves time and reduces risks, with its superior control and safety. (more...)

Automated control of water systems, whether in swimming pools, washrooms, or drinking water supplies, needs reliable equipment that minimises water hammer and the effects of dezincification. Bürkert’s Type 6213 solenoid valve achieves this and can be specified to meet even the most (more...)

Eaton has announced the launch of the Synflex Optimum family of thermoplastic hydraulic hoses and fittings, designed to work together to improve hydraulic system performance, simplify assembly and optimise inventory. With high abrasion resistance and a wide range of pressures, the Synflex Optimum (more...)

It is often the case that younger designers and engineers have hardly had any experience of hydraulics as part of their training. They are primarily concerned with software and think along digital lines. They are only really interested in the movements and the resulting data. Drive physics is what (more...)
