Piston pump with increased capacity
11 December, 2007 | Supplied by: K-One Fluid Power
The B series has been added to Kawasaki's K3VL series of piston pumps. It offers decreases in noise emissions and increased control options which provide faster reaction times, at the same time maintaining precise hysteresis and stability. The series has an increased capacity range with the addition of a 200 cc pump to the K3VL range. The series is suitable for agricultural, industrial, mining and mobile remote area applications.
Glandless spool
11 December, 2007 | Supplied by: IMI Precision Engineering
Most pneumatic solenoid valve manufacturers provide solenoid valves with nitrile seals. The seals are either in the form of O-rings, disc seals or bonded to the spool then surface ground. Over the years, nitrile seals have proved satisfactory. In addition to nitrile (soft seal) valve ranges, Norgren produces a range of ISO Standard valves with 'glandless spool' technology. The glandless valves use a hardened anodised teflon-coated spool and sleeve. The glandless spool and sleeve have no dynamic seals. The spool operates on an air bearing principle that offers several benefits over conventional nitrile soft seal valves. The spool and sleeve are hardened to 62-70 Rockwell C.
