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...)

Quality is probably one of the most important metrics in the industrial world. When people pay for a product or service, they expect to get the best possible solution to their needs – not just in terms of cost, but also fitness for purpose, capabilities and, of course, safety. Like so many (more...)

A new generation of versatile and innovative 3-port solenoid valves which offer the combination of high flow rates, low leakage and low power consumption in a miniature 10mm package have been introduced by miniature component specialist The Lee Company. The novel genvi solenoid valve has been (more...)

Innovation in miniature continues to be the mission for The Lee Company, proven by its ability to develop innovative miniature precision fluid control components. A good example of this is the company’s new LFV Series 8000 2-way inert solenoid valve which is ideal for critical flow (more...)

Spokespeople from British Fluid Power Association member companies Phoenix Hydraulic and Electrical Services, Hydraproducts and Rotec Hydraulics consider some of the challenges associated with effective use and maintenance of fluid power systems and related equipment within the marine sector.
