Studies show that approximately half of lost machine life is due to mechanical wear and approximately 80% of mechanical wear is caused by particle contamination in the oil. When oil is kept clean, wear rates go down and component service life goes up.

The EPC Programmable Linear Measurement Solution allows for the selection of the encoder type (absolute or incremental), output type or protocol, measuring wheel type and size, optional mounting bracket, and optional programming kit.?

Des-Case rolls out a new and improved, patent-pending breather construction. More desiccant and increased airflow without increasing the external dimensions of the breather.

Des-Case enters the IIoT space with patent-pending sensor technology inside their trusted VentGuard? breathers. It's the markets first connected breather and also the most accurate.

Iwaki America recently announced the release of their IX-B Series of metering pumps, an expansion to the popular IX Series Pumps.  The IX-B Series flow control range is 0.002GPH (7.5mL/H) to 12GPH (45L/H) expanding the IX Series operational range DOWN significantly.

For new liquid filtration applications or if you are considering upgrading your system consider the benefits of Cardinal's High Flow Cartridges over traditional 2.5" pleated or depth filters.

Slipping, chemical exposure, machinery interaction, fire, and tripping are just some of the more common safety hazards you can avoid through better lubrication practices. In this post, we will break down how optimizing your lubrication program decreases each one of these risks.

Machinery safeguarding represents one of the best investments on the plant floor. For example, in a study conducted by the Liberty Mutual Group for the US, 61 percent of executives say they save $3 for every dollar invested in safety equipment and programs.

The StoneL Quartz Explosionproof Valve Monitoring series is durable, corrosion resistant, and versatile, making it ideal for most of your process valve monitoring requirements.

For use on instrumentation, process and control systems, analyzers, and environmental equipment.

The basic liquid sizing equation tells us that the liquid flow rate through a control valve is proportional to the square root of pressure drop.

If you are looking for a valve controller that can be used on most on/off automated valves then look no further. StoneL's new Discrete Valve Controller provides unmatched reliability, state-of-the-art monitoring and robust pneumatic control in hazardous and general process applications.

The Walchem LK Series metering pumps are motor-driven, mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pumps. This larger LK Series can achieve outputs up to 856 GPH (3240 l/h) and maximum pressures of 220 PSI (1.5 MPa). Ideal for chemical feed applications including water treatment, chemical process, agriculture, mining, and paper.

WIKA's model S-20 pressure transmitter is the ideal solution for customers with demanding performance requirements in many industrial applications.

Looking to solve crystallization problems, black liquor, or any other problems with solids? PBM's line of Industrial Valves can handle any type of rigorous and general-purpose applications.

Iwaki America/Walchem is pleased to announce the release of the next generation of LK series metering pump.  These larger, mechanically actuated, and motor-driven metering pumps feature the same rugged design and versatility of their smaller LK pump but in a bigger package - providing flow rates up to 856 GPH and pressures to 145PSI!

ASCO's SH Series Guided Linear Motion device is capable of heavy loads and moderately long strokes and is available with a wide range of options.

Discover convenient remote access of your automated valves when you install the Axiom AMI with AS-Interface featuring Bluetooth? technology from StoneL.

The AVENTICS Ceram 4-way pneumatic directional control valve are subbase mounted in single or manifold configurations. The valves have ISO 5599/1 mounting dimensions, so they are interchangeable with other ISO 5599/1 valves. They are available in ISO sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4, with port sizes from ?" to 1" NPTF and ISO G (BSPP).

The explosionproof Hawkeye, with its stainless steel enclosure, is designed for service in harsh process environments. It features a solid state proximity sensor which is encased in a shock absorbent urethane potting material.

Many wood mills use hydraulic positioners like the one in the picture above.? Sometimes they try to increase the speed of these cylinders by replacing the prop valves mounted on the cylinder with valves with higher flow rates.

Securing the go ahead for a system upgrade can be difficult in a competitive work environment, where every cost must be accounted for and validated. Getting your project noticed and approved when it's lost among a sea of competing projects—each one making a claim on finite resources—can seem an impossible task.

When discussing fluid power, pressure is the basis for producing any kind of work.  Work cannot be achieved without pressure. To understand the finer points of fluid power, one must first understand the concept of pressure

A growing trend in industrial plant design is wireless connectivity. Recent technological advances have made wireless protocols significantly more robust and reliable than previous versions, enough so to rival traditional hard-wired connections.
