Using a robust and powerful linear actuator, the high-flow stepper-controlled 2-way pneumatic proportional valve features excellent performance and durability.
Designers of pneumatic systems will have the opportunity to learn from a leading expert on ISO 4414 by joining the National Fluid Power Association for the first in a series of six one-hour webinars, to be held on January 26, 2012 starting at 2:00 p.m. Easter.
When 2011 started, I would have expected that the triennial IFPE show would have been the talk of the year. And the show was an impressive one, with more than 400 exhibitors, 100,000+ attendees at the combined co-located shows (including CONEXPO and CON/AGG) and a wonderful technical conference. But what I find perhaps most significant for the industry was how three of the main fluid power organizations came together in a joint effort to discuss efficiency.
