The NFPA Education and Technology Foundation has awarded a major research grant to Dr. Brian Steward and the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department at Iowa State University.
Double valves for clutch/brake circuits
Double valves, or dual valves, incorporate two valve elements which are independently controlled by two solenoid pilots within one valve body.
New offices for CCEFP
After 5 years housed just off-campus at the University of Minnesota, the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power has relocated its administrative offices to the Mechanical Engineering building in the heart of the U of M campus.
8th International Conference on Fluid Power planned for Dresden
The 8th International Conference on Fluid Power (8th IFK) will be held in Dresden from March 26-28, 2012. The IFK is one of the world’s most significant scientific conferences on fluid power control technology and systems.
Rapid rotation with electronically controlled pneumatics
The Festo DSMI-B servo pneumatic swivel module, soft stop CMPX module, and free positioning CMAX module represent a new generation in electronically controlled pneumatic actuation that combines the best features of both pneumatics and electronic control in terms of speed, load capacity, precision, and low cost.
Valve driver provides amplification and linearization
Ernie Doering, a design engineer with Clippard Instrument Laboratory, explains the basic operations, as well as a few key features of the EVP proportional valve driver, in this video.
Miniature pneumatics for medical and scientific applications
Clippard Instrument Laboratory provides the scientific/medical industry a variety of products and solutions. The product range is illustrated in a color brochure featuring the most complete line of miniature fluid power products for the medical, pharmaceutical analytical and dental fields.
Compact pneumatic cylinders
PHDs Series CRS Cylinders feature a self-lubricating nitrile piston seal to increase cylinder performance and provides the best unit life rating in its class of 70 million linear inches of travel.
Pressure and temperature transmitters
NOSHOK’s Electronic Indicating Pressure and Temperature Transmitter/Switches provide dependable local monitoring, 4-20mA current output and switching control.
Valves for leak testing
Perhaps the most important factor in leak testing is the valve used to leak test. If the valve is not reliably leak tight itself, the testing efforts are a waste of time. ROSS’ high-flow, bubble tight Dale Series LT, CX and LX valves and manifolds have patented poppet design and exceptional sealing capabilities.
