Dry gauges that dampen vibration

By Paul Heney | May 30, 2018

stabiliZR gauges wintersStabiliZR line of pressure gauges feature a dampened movement that eliminates pointer flutter caused by vibration and pulsation. This makes pressure reading much easier for the operator, and avoids leakage of fill fluid or compatibility issues with process media.

Pointed shaft is extended through the back of the movement with a small paddle affixed to the front of the shaft. A stainless steel cap filled with silicone is pressed over the end of the shaft, covering the paddle. This creates enough resistance to dampen the pointer and movement—just as if the gauge was liquid filled.

Features:

  • dampens vibration and pulsation
  • eliminates leaks and discoloration
  • can be used at higher temperatures than glycerin filled gauges
  • provides ease in reading
  • reinforced, lightweight design

  A note from the editor In our October issue of Fluid Power World, my commentary takes a look at the growing role of automation and sensors in mobile machinery, where OEMs are increasingly focused on automating specific functions and improving machine performance rather than chasing fully autonomous equipment. Josh Cosford gets cheeky comparing the auto…
