Festo adds manual and mechanical pneumatic valves
Festo recently introduced the manually operated VHEF and the mechanically operated VMEF pneumatic valves. These small, durable, and versatile valves are core Festo products and guaranteed to ship within 24 hours. Whether the valve is triggered by a workpiece, a component, or a person, manual and mechanical valves are the most direct way to control […]
What is the best raw material for hydraulic cylinder repair?
When your customer’s cylinder arrives on your dock for repair, how often do you consider raw material when you quote the overhaul? Probably very little. Most hydraulic cylinders are manufactured from a combination of 1018/1020 cold rolled steel for the “square” components such as flanges, heads and caps. Piston rods mostly likely adhere to 1045 […]
Double selector six-way hydraulic valves provide flow direction to two circuits
The DS-Double Selector hydraulic valve from Doering is a two position, six-way, double selector valve which directs the flow of hydraulic fluid to two separate hydraulic circuits within your hydraulic system. This flow divider valve allows the operation of two double-acting cylinders with one four-way control valve or four single-acting cylinders with two-three-way control valves. It […]

High productivity blow-off with less compressed air
The AirFlowSaver from KTW Technology, Wehr, Germany, is an integrated system that reduces compressed air consumption while improving productivity in many industrial applications, including blow-off, drying, degreasing, cleaning, material handling and certain pneumatic control tasks. It works by converting continuous air flows into sharp and powerful pulses that increase output force. Thus, it cuts air […]

On-board electronics helps parameterize and read out hydraulic valves
With the newly developed generation of digital on-board electronics for hydraulics, Rexroth allows economical scaling between analog components and those with a fieldbus/Ethernet connection. It takes advantage of the economic benefits of digitalization with no additional cabling. The new generation provides the open interfaces Bluetooth and IO-Link. In conjunction with a suitable app, commissioning engineers,…
Where is the compressed air pressure drop?
A rule of thumb used in the compressed air industry is a compressor consumes 1% more energy for every 2 psi in extra pressure at the discharge. When reducing the energy consumption of a compressed air system, we must pay detailed attention to pressure differentials at various points in the system. These pressure drops all […]
