New regulations restrict equipment leaks -โ โfugitive emissionsโ โ from production facilities. One key step is choosing ball valves that resist leaks. Developed countries worldwide are focusing attention on fugitive emissions, equipment leaks to the outside environment. Leaks may be either internal or external. For a ball valve, an internal leak could refer to a leak […]

HAWE Hydraulicsโ Durable Directional Seated Valve
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – HAWE Hydraulics introduces the newest member of directional seated valves. These ball seated valves are known for their ability to stop flow without leakage. They are most commonly used for structural engineering works, such as lifting, moving and depositing decking elements on bridges and production test benches. The extended range of construction […]
HAWE Hydraulics Type CLK Pressure Control Valve
CHARLOTTE, N.C.– HAWE Hydraulics announces the release of type CLK, a pressure control valve with an added safety function. This additional feature provides operational ease within hydraulic systems where temperature increases and/or external load peaks can lead to unnecessary results. The CLK is ideal for use in workholding, machine tool and clamping system applications. The […]

This brochure provides an overview of IPTโs family of medium and high pressure valves, fittings and tubing, as well as custom solutions and specialty products, including key features and specifications. Medium pressure products are up to 20,000 PSI, and […]
Proportion-Air’s QL3 Pressure Control Valve
McCordsville, INย โ Proportion-Air, Inc. announces the latest addition to the product line, the new QL3 Pressure Control Valve. The QL3 allows high volumes of air to move quickly and precisely at pressures up to 150 psig using proportional solenoid valves with a unique analog PID circuit. Ideal for use with flow meters, it provides high […]
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 […]
