Linear Actuators for Light to Rugged Duty
A wide range of linear actuators are available to suit many motion control applications, with units ranging in load capacities and speeds from 25 lb at 1.75 ips to 2,200 lb at 0.5 ips. Custom-engineered actuators can also be produced to meet special parameters. Standard modification offerings include special pin-to-pin lengths and stroke lengths, special […]
PBC Linear Actuator Gives Green Energy a Lift
In an economy that is gearing more towards green energy, PBC Linear is helping lay down the initial framework. Utilizing the high-accuracy PLA linear actuator, a cutting edge US company that manufactures silicon ingots from solar furnaces is able to sustain smooth, quiet and long-lasting operation for the their specially designed furnace damper that controls […]
Go South for Lean Manufacturing
Todayโs manufacturers are looking for tools, techniques, and equipment that will help them streamline their production processes (go โleanโ), and do so on a continuous basis. The transformation to lean is often described as a journey away from the compartmentalized approach of managing events or projects, toward a more holistic and ongoing approach. Thus, manufacturers […]
Honing Fine Tunes Valve Performance
New honing technology is improving product performance for fluid power components by providing manufacturers the ability to accurately size and finish valve bores with high process capability (Cpk) levels. The technology can control bore size with quarter-micron accuracy (0.00001-in.), correct geometric errors in the bore, and produce a specific surface finish with lubrication and seal […]
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Liquid Injection Valve
In atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes, the use of liquid precursors is on the rise. In response, Swagelok has introduced the Swagelokยฎ ALD liquid injection valve. With liquid precursor vaporization technology, high temperatures are required to vaporize a liquid chemical within the valve body. The chemistry is then delivered to the ALD chamber. For consistent […]
High Pressure Needle Valves
ERIE, PA โ Innovative Pressure Technologies (IPT) introduces High Pressure Needle Valves. These valves feature a non-rotating stem to prevent galling and scoring, and are engineered to deliver reliable operation at working pressures up to 60,000 psi in temperatures ranging from -100ยฐ to 450ยฐF (-73ยฐ to 232ยฐC). They feature a Vee or Regulating tip stem […]
Add Hydraulic Power To Mobile Work Tools
Heavy duty priority flow control valves, also called โhammer valves,โ are a simple and efficient way to supply auxiliary hydraulic power to mobile work tools and attachments such as hydraulic impact hammers, compactors, saws, and cold planers. The valves can be added to any existing hydraulic system without the need to modify its directional control […]
Large Diameter Butterfly Valves with PVDF/PTFE
TUSTIN, CA โ GF Piping Systems has introduced the new chemically resistant Type 567 and 568 Butterfly Valves in large diameter sizes up to eight or 12 inches, depending on model. The new valves feature a disc and liner made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) seals to provide superior chemical resistance and performance […]
Large Diameter Butterfly Valves
Houston, TXโBray Controls has designed a line of 22″ to 96″ (550 mm to 2400 mm) resilient, seated butterfly valves specifically for highly abrasive and corrosive applications. These valves meet process requirements with chloride content from low to very high parts per million in applications such as seawater, mining, sanitary service and FGD at an […]
