Spring-energized Teflon seals.
VS Series spring-energized seals are designed for use in high- or low-pressure dynamic reciprocating or rotary applications. The V-spring delivers a moderate but progressive and higher load than the C-Series spring, but much less load than the H-Series spring over a wide deflection range. The standard VS Series spring-energized seal lip is … [Read more...] about Spring-energized Teflon seals.
Clean hydraulics: contaminant removal
Demand for higher efficiency, enhanced output and tolerance of tough terrains make it increasingly more difficult to ensure machines perform at their peak. High-performance hydraulics may be built for these conditions; however, good fluid-handling practices can keep equipment running better, longer. Particulate and moisture contamination of … [Read more...] about Clean hydraulics: contaminant removal
Why use a desiccant breather to protect your machinery and lubricant?
In any fluid-containing reservoir, differential pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling and emptying process, causing water and contaminants to enter the fluid reservoirs. Air drawn into the reservoir will heat up to unit operating temperature, which allows the partial pressure of the heated … [Read more...] about Why use a desiccant breather to protect your machinery and lubricant?
