EasySHIP Water in Oil reagent is here

Kittiwake easyshipKittiwake are continually looking for ways to cut the cost of testing for our customers. One way of doing this is to decrease the hazardous nature of our tests for use and for transportation. Over the past two years we have reclassified over 80 reagents and a recent breakthrough by our Scientists now enables us to provide many of the Kittiwake DIGI Test Kits in non-hazardous for shipping versions.

The new EasySHIP reagent sachet has been developed solely with shipping costs in mind. For the first time you can now buy the DIGI Kittiwake Water in Oil test which is non-hazardous for transport and for use. On average this will save over 70% on shipping costs, dramatically reducing the overall cost per test*.

Metering valves cut lubricant consumption by 25 per cent on linear guidance systems

SMDS metering valvesBy incorporating special lubricant metering discs on its range of linear recirculating roller bearings and guideway assemblies, Schaeffler has reduced lubricant consumption by more than 25 per cent compared to conventional designs.

A range of linear recirculating roller bearings and guidance systems are now available with special lubricant metering valves, which provide precise doses of lubricant to the linear guides, reducing lubricant consumption by more than 25 per cent compared to standard designs, reducing maintenance and servicing costs and preserving resources for the customer.

External gear pumps are the most popular pumps used in modern hydraulic systems

Hydraulic SystemsThese external gear pumps feature versatility, strength and long useful life.Their simple construction ensures limited purchase costs and servicing. Thanks to these basic concepts, together with ever-improving product design and features, research-based on many years of experience, accuracy in material selection, production process followed in great detail and tests on mass-produced parts, our gear pumps have reached top quality standards.

For this reason, our products can work under heavy operating conditions and transmit high hydraulic power. Furthermore, Marzocchi pumps feature good hydraulic, mechanical and volumetric efficiency, low noise level and, last but not least, compact dimensions.
Generally these gear pumps usually consist of a gear pair supported by two aluminum bushes, a body, a securing flange and a cover.
Shaft of the driving gear projecting beyond the flange mounts a twin-lip seal ring (the inner lip being a seal and the outer being a dust seal). An elastic securing ring secures the ring in place.

Hygroscopic Breathers Achieve maximum machine performance, Use a unique filtration process to treat the cause not the symptom . . .

Hygroscopic breathersRemove moisture and particles before entry to the system.Moisture and particle accumulation are major factors of oil contamination in industrial equipment. Neglected, these detriments restrict equipment efficiency, causing machine downtime and significant expense in replacement oil, parts and repair labour. Des-Case hygroscopic breathers incorporate a proven, field tested design.

They prevent water and contaminates from entering fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling or emptying process. Manufactured with a hygroscopic agent, they have the capability to extract water vapour from the air as it is drawn through the unit. Accompanying solid particles are then removed by a patented polyester fabric filter, allowing only clean, dry air to enter the system.

Simple monitoring and logging of flow and process variables

Simple monitoringJBJ Techniques has spotted a gap in the market for an effective, simple to use, four-channel process monitor and alarm controller, combined with PC-based visualisation and data logging software. So the company has addressed this requirement by developing its own cost-effective package.

Why is it that, in so many different industries and market sectors, there are a myriad of all-singing-and-dancing high end products, swathes of simple, low end, single-function products, but very little in between. Take, for example, the monitoring of fluid systems in various processes. At one end of the scale, there are simple indicators to show pressure or flow – barely more than a dumb display with an alarm output or two.

Leuze electronic’s Safety Laser Scanner with added “Motion”

Leuze SafetyTechnological development and economic pressures can provide the means and the expectation for intelligent products to perform several tasks at once. Leuze electronic prides itself in providing intelligent products that are often rich in features, so that the equipment builder can complete the project quicker, easier and save money in the process.

The ROTOSCAN RS4-4M Safety Laser Scanner is a good example of this kind of function integration, with the additional benefits of “Motion Monitoring” and “Distance Measurement” being added to the innovative Safety Laser Scanner .All ROTOSCAN RS4 Safety Laser Scanners provide two dimensional scanning of user defined areas, providing warning, guarding, and measurement in a uniquely flexible, versatile, and efficient manner across numerous applications and diverse industries.

The 7th Edition 60 page O Ring handbook

EAPE-A-P International Limited have been stockists and specialist worldwide distributors of Eriks seals for over 38 years, and we now bring you our updated seventh edition of the very popular O-Ring Handbook.The O-Ring is now without question the worlds most versatile seal due to its simple shape,low space requirement, and its availability in a vast selection of sizes and compounds to meet every requirement.

This Handbook is intended as a guide to assist in the selection of an O-Ring for both dynamic and static applications, and for the choice of the correct compound for a given application.Recommendations are given for groove dimensions, installation procedures, sealing against vacuum and the use of Back-up Rings. Reference is also included on the use of Quad Rings as an alternative to an O-Ring in certain applications.
