MICO, Incorporated introduces a trailer brake Load-Apportioning-Valve (LAV)

MICO, Incorporated introduces a trailer brake Load-Apportioning-Valve (LAV) for use with MICO MOBEUS EH brake systems on Agriculture and other Off-Highway vehicles and trailers. The new LAV proportions trailer brake pressure utilizing a tow vehicle’s hydraulic brake signal in conjunction with real-time trailer load sensing to continuously control pressure-reduction braking to the trailer brakes without utilization of tank-pressure. The result is load sensitive trailer braking that reduces the occurrence of trailer wheel lock-up or skidding.
Trailer load is sensed by the load apportioning valve and the output pressure from the valve modifies output trailer brake pressure in accordance with the current weight of the trailer load. As trailer-load is increased or decreased, the trailer brake pressure is changed proportionally. Lighter loads induce lower trailer brake pressures whereas higher loads result in higher trailer brake pressures.
MICO MOBEUS LAV provides several benefits for the end user, including:
- Significant reduction in trailer wheel lock-up and skidding
- Compatible with MICO MOBEUS ABS systems and associated circuitry, as well as other MICO braking components and systems.
- Meets EU trailer safety requirements
- Fits with a variety of mounting configurations
- Vehicle brake pressure is used directly as the input to the LAV
- Wide temperature operating range of -40 ºC to +80 ºC
- Cost-effective system with simple installation and no tank port necessary
MICO MOBEUS EH systems are designed to provide state-of-the-art vehicular braking control of Off-Highway and Agricultural vehicles and trailers.

Eaton’s 420 Series Piston Pumps with Hydro-mechanical Torque Control

Help Compact Equipment Users Meet Emissions, Fuel Economy Standards

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. . . . Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has added a hydro-mechanical torque control option and several performance upgrades to its 420 open circuit piston pump product line. The 420 pump with hydro-mechanical torque control automatically senses heavy loads and adjusts hydraulic fluid flow accordingly.

It is intended for moderate-flow, high-pressure mobile applications such as compact wheel loaders, telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, telescopic booms, sweepers, backhoe loaders, and garbage trucks.

To accommodate the new torque control, the pump housing was designed to decrease airborne noise to 76 dBA at 1,800 rpm and 207 bar. A case-to-inlet check valve \ was added to improve cold weather operation and provide added protection to the seals and rotating group. The new torque control works in parallel with the standard compensator, using a special mechanism to replace the control piston.

“In compact and mid-size equipment, torque almost always needs to be controlled,” said Eaton Product Manager Todd McIntyre. “Limiting the torque at the pump shaft across a wide range of engine speeds provides operators with the benefits of increased productivity, greater efficiency and fewer engine stalls. The result is lower engine emissions and improved fuel economy.

“Productivity is enhanced by increasing the speed with which the vehicle function is performed due to flow rate changes made by the torque control system. For example, raising a heavy load with a set of forks on a telehandler places a significant amount of pressure on the hydraulic pump and system. To prevent engine stalls without limiting the telehandler’s lifting capacity, manufacturers not using torque control would be forced to use a smaller displacement pump that significantly slows the operation of the forks. Torque control automatically senses heavy loads and adjusts flow accordingly. Limiting the flow in high pressure situations limits the torque the pump can apply to the engine and, as a result, avoids the corner horsepower point and prevents the engine from stalling. It also allows for higher flow and quicker operation when the set of forks is empty, which means higher productivity.”

Eaton’s 420 pumps offer outstanding power density that is not compromised by the use of torque control.

Elettrotec's new LMVG-01 single-point variable level float switch

 

Elettrotec's new LMVG-01 single-point variable level float switch now features an upper flange entirely made of nylon composed of a reed switch and a special slot for tightening by key. The magnet is placed in the upper part of the stainless steel control bar to which it is integrally
mounted, while the float made of NBR moves directly along the flange.

This new model features a series of product innovations:
– the float contains no magnetic parts and thus is well-suited for fluids containing metal particles, as a result no deposits or residues remain on the float

– the control bar, made of stainless steel, contains no electrical devices or connections, thus enhancing product performance, and ease of use and safety; all electrical connections are
enclosed in the upper flange and are accessed by means of a special connector

– the control bar can be severed at the bottom with a conventional pipe cutter to reach required length; before cutting, simply remove the float and then push it back into place when finished. Alternatively, a through-hole float can be mounted in place of the standard float, by changing the
position of the float along the control bar until the required set point is reached.

The new LMVG.01 float level switch is extremely intuitive and easy to use. Thanks to its threaded attachment, It is vertically fixed to the system. When the set level is reached, the control bar is
pushed by the float and slides the magnet inside the flange by actuating the reed switch or switches located on the flange.

Pentair Industrial introduces the Driflex™ Oil Conditioning System

 

Pentair Industrial introduces the Driflex™ Oil Conditioning System for complete removal of free, emulsified and dissolved water from a wide variety of industrial and mobile
lubrication and hydraulic systems. On average, oil contamination from dirt and water causes 70-80% of lubricated equipment wear and failures. Driflex decreases water  concentration and improves particulate filtration effectiveness to optimize oil condition and minimize equipment wear, reducing maintenance expenses and costly downtime.

Driflex achieves oil dehydration by utilizing the fundamental principles of mass transfer: Moisture diffuses from regions of high concentration to low, such as from oil contaminated with moisture to dry air. First, oil is pumped from its reservoir through Driflex’s high efficiency particle filter, which cleans the oil and protects the system’s dehydration contactor from damage. The oil then flows through Driflex’s dehydration contactor while extremely dry air sweeps over the outside. The moisture differential within the contactor causes the moisture to be transferred from the oil to the air, and exhausted out of the system as moisturized air. Environmentally, no wastewater or other
disposables are generated in the process—and the oil returns to the reservoir.

Unlike vacuum purifiers, Driflex is cost-effective, conveniently sized and easy to maintain—with no moving parts or flow/level controls to adjust. Its compact design makes it well suited for periodic use on reservoirs throughout an entire facility. Driflex may also be dedicated to a particular reservoir to provide continuous conditioning, ensuring that oil is optimized without the fluctuations in water concentration that occur with periodic oil purification or replacement.

This advanced oil conditioning technology leads to significant savings in operation and maintenance expenses. For example, decreasing water concentration from 250 ppm to 40 ppm
can triple bearing life, reducing replacement and labor costs—and increasing overall profitability. With its simple, reliable operation, Driflex enhances equipment performance and optimizes service life—at a cost-effective price.

Pentair Industrial manufactures and markets a broad range of industrial filtration products including filter cartridges, filter bags, cartridge housings and bag housings plus
numerous related filtration accessories. Long known for quality filtration products and patented technologies, Pentair engineers key filtration solutions for oil & gas, food &
beverage, power generation, petrochemical, paint & ink, municipal, medical, pharmaceutical and other industrial market sectors. For more information, contact Pentair Industrial,

HAWE HYDRAULICS HAS REVAMPED ITS POWER PACK PRODUCT RANGE
 

Hydraulic power pack type KA reduces operation temperature

(CHARLOTTE, N.C.)- HAWE Hydraulics, a leading supplier of sophisticated controls to the mobile and industrial markets introduces an expanded product range for the power pack type KA allowing for additional fields of applications for users. The power pack can supply pressure up to 10,000 psi utilizing a radial piston pump or up to 2,900 psi utilizing a gear pump. All KA units are designed for intermittent duty (S2, S3 operation).

The type KA power pack consists of a pump, a tank and a fluid-immersed motor. Some versions feature two pumps and can supply hydraulic consumers with differing pressure levels. The power pack can be positioned either horizontally or vertically and because of its compact design it meets the need for small spatial requirements. There are three tank extensions available, which allow the tank size to be customized from two to ten liters, depending on the fluid demand for the particular application.

The newest option is the auxiliary blower, which significantly reduces the fluid temperature. The auxiliary blower assists the already high-quality thermal dissipation capability of this unit and allows the permissible operation time to stretch even further. This option is available for both vertical and horizontal versions of the unit.

In situations where these power packs are operated under damp ambient conditions, there is an optional silica gel filter available with the vertical power pack, thus preventing condensation. The type KA power pack now extends from industrial applications to mobile applications.

Elettrotec's ETC-01programmable electronic temperature switches

 

Elettrotec's ETC-01programmable electronic temperature switches have been designed to meet themost demanding application re-quirements in industrial processing and measurement systems. In partic-ular, they have been designed forunits which require temperature monitoring to assure proper opera-tion. If the preset temperaturethresholds are exceeded, thes witches activate to restore optimum system performance. For example,when applied to reduction gears or hydraulic power units, these switches can monitor the maximum and min-imum vacuum pressures and activate a cooling circuit to restore the preset or safety value.

The device is based on an NTC sensor (semiconductor thermistor)shrouded in a rugged brass or alu-minium flange that can be manufactured in different shapes, patterns or materials (brass, aluminium and soon) depending on the application type and according to the sensor's maximum size.

The same applies to the threaded mounting as well. The sensor is controlled by a programmable electronic circuitry housed in analuminium body above the sensor, providing protection from overload,polarity reversal, shorts or opens in electrical circuits.

Another important feature of thenew ETC-01 is maximum precision:the set point and restore point tem-peratures have tolerances very closeto one degree in a very wide range from -10 to +90°C, as well as very nar-row differentials, i.e. temperature gaps between set points and restorepoints, in the order of ± 2 °C.

Finally, the absence ofmoving mechanical partsminimizes wear and ensures a virtually endless lifeof the device. Elettrotec's ETC-01 programmable electronic temperature switches are equipped with atransparent DIN43650 plug housing inside two LEDs: a red LED to signalthat the actuation point has been reached and a green LED to indicatethe proper voltage flow.

The output is available in two models: PNP or NPN Open Collectorat 500 mA maximum. Moreover, the set point, hysteresis restore point and the Normally Open/Normally Closed (NO/NC) function can all be easily adjusted by the user by means of two configuration buttons and a green LED accessible from the blackscrew plug located on the aluminium body.

These set point and restore point adjustment buttons ensure rapid and easy calibration. Moreover, their arrangement allows for quick programming of the temperature switch with the simple touch of the finger, without having to interrupt the power supply or use special tools.

Variable-speed Pump Drives from Rexroth Cut Noise, Save Energy

Rexroth uses speed reduction on hydraulic pumps to increase energy-savings and reduce noise

(Bethlehem, PA – www.boschrexroth-us.com) Over the past few decades, the technical development of hydraulic machine tools has been driven by the desire to increase efficiency (accuracy, cycle time, etc.). Now, the use of proportional and high-response valves along with variable displacement pumps and electrohydraulic control to improve energy efficiency have been in the foreground. In the last few years, requirements for energy saving and noise reduction have become increasingly stricter. Rexroth responds to these changing market requirements with the use of variable-speed pump drives (DvP).

With variable-speed pump drives, Rexroth opens up new possibilities of cutting lifecycle costs while complying with user specifications. On the variable-speed pump drive Rexroth relocates the closed-loop control into the converter, unlike conventional variable displacement pumps where an asynchronous motor controls the displacement and pressure via internal control mechanisms.

During the non-machining time and partial load operation when no hydraulic flow is required, the frequency converter reduces the speed of the electric drive and the fixed displacement motor. This reduces energy consumption, hydraulic power losses which are introduced into the oil, and noise emission. As soon as the hydraulic system requires more power, the converter adjusts the speed in line with demands.

Rexroth applies this principle in two ways, combining its drive and control expertise in both hydraulics and electric drives. In the first method a high-dynamics servomotor provides the required torques at very short acceleration times. Rexroth’s intelligent converter evaluates command values and the actual values provided by a pressure cell and adjusts the speed accordingly. Pre-parameterized software considers hydraulics-specific controller strategies and automatically compensates for non-linearities of fluid power technology. This method results in remarkable reductions in energy costs, hydraulic power losses and noise emissions.

In the second method, a standard asynchronous motor assumes the drive function. The dynamic Rexroth converter IndraDrive Fc controls the speed of the electric motor, and the control loop is closed using a pressure cell. When operated continuously at low speed, this method requires an external fan on the electric drive motor. Compared with the servomotor method, this solution features significantly lower acquisition costs.

Both methods fit seamlessly into decentralized and central control architectures of machine tools. Depending on the specific machine concept, the manufacturer can integrate the converters from Rexroth in the control cabinet or mount directly on the hydraulic power unit. Speed-related pump drives also cut lifecycle cost when retrofitted to existing machines.

HAWE HYDRAULICS TO ANNOUNCE EXPANSION OF THE NBVP ZERO LEAK NG6 VALVE PROGRAM AT IMTS 2008

HAWE Hydraulics, a leading supplier of sophisticated controls to the mobile and industrial markets, will be announcing a significant expansion to the range of products for applications of NBVP16 seated valves in booth F-2878 at the IMTS show, September 8-13, 2008 at the McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

The NBVP 16 seated valves are designed for clamping functions in machine tools, machining centers, and energy efficient systems. HAWE has significantly expanded the range of possible applications by designing several new flow patterns for the cone seated valves of type NBVP 16.
While typical 2/2, 3/2, 4/2 and 4 way, 3 position functions of directional valves can be fulfilled with either spool valves or seated valves, the seated valve offers significant advantages. Zero leak seated valves eliminate the need for pumps to continually charge a hydraulic system, as they would need to do when using spool valves. This valve is also more tolerant of contamination in the system due to its design and constant flushing.

The seated valve also offers energy-saving intermittent service, and reduces the required volume of oil. Once the clamping pressure has been reached, the valve ensures that the clamping pressure is safely maintained. The pump itself switches off or goes into circulation mode until the next clamping sequence, while the power units cool the system down through its design characteristics.
HAWE’s modular design system provides different types of 2/2, 3/2, 4/2 and 4/3 seated valves with NG6 or D03 standardized connection diagram. The maximum operation pressure is 5800 psi and the maximum flow 5.28 gpm. The available actuators are solenoid, hydraulic, pneumatic or manual, as well as an ATEX solenoid version for hazardous environments.
