Parker Hannifin's mechanically coupled P1T rodless cylinder offers production engineers the potential to improve the performance and flexibility of pneumatic systems.
Triple vane hydraulic pump is compact
A triple vane hydraulic pump, with high pressure ratings of up to 275 bar, offers high performance and long, low maintenance service life.
The new couplings offer consistently strong connections for use with high pressure hydraulic jacks, rams, clamping devices, torque wrenches, cable cutters and spreaders.
The products are exceptionally robust, with the CL series able to withstand a maximum working pressure of 1,000 bar (100MPa), while the CM series, designed for even higher pressure applications, can withstand a maximum of 1,500 bar (150MPa).
Both the CL and CM ranges are manufactured from Chromium-6 Free plated steel, in compliance with the latest EU directives, offering excellent corrosion protection and extremely solid construction in even the toughest of operating environments.
All of the couplings are easy and simple to fit, with positive ball locking mechanisms, while a flat faced poppet feature reduces spillages, keeping workplaces clean and reducing the risk of harm to the environment.
Hardwearing plastic dust caps and plugs protect the couplings when not in use and prevent damage through mishandling, reducing the costs associated with repairing and replacing components.
The couplings are ideally suited as upgrades for existing components in high pressure hydraulic systems, being fully compatible with similar products on the market, and are widely available through Parker's global network of sales offices and distribution partners.
