Pressurized machine framing

• eliminates extra hoses
• rated to 150 psi

Designed to replace separate airlines or hoses running alongside existing machine frames or workstations, these modular T-slotted aluminum extrusions can also act as a manifold, by capping off the ends of the extrusion with blank or tapped pressure manifold plates. These plates are made from clear anodized aluminum and can withstand up to 150 psi of positive or negative pressure. They can be side- or end-mounted. Pneumatic Manifold Assemblies include gaskets and mounting hardware, such as Drop-In T-Nuts for mounting to existing framing systems. Drop-In T-Nuts can be inserted into any open T-Slot and located anywhere along the length of the assembly. The company has the individual components, extrusions and machining services required for meeting specifications without the need for custom machining. 80/20 Inc, Columbia City, IN.   www.rsleads.com/302df-199

Metric tubing & luer fittings
This company has expanded its lines of metric tubing and luer fittings. Tubing is now available in ether- and ester-based polyurethane, vinyl and Vyplas in ID from 1.5 to 6.5 mm and OD from 3.0 to 10.0 mm.

PVC hose
Vardex PVC hose offers kink and crush resistance with flexibility. The clear material compound allows visual contact with the flow. The wire-reinforced material combines the abrasion resistance, durability, smooth surface and clarity of PVC with the strength of steel, maintaining its cylindrical shape in pressure or vacuum applications — even to 29.9 in./Hg. NewAge Industries Inc, Southampton, PA.   www.rsleads.com/302df-201

Pneumatic hose
Designed for use in flexible cable carriers, Chainflex pneumatic hoses resist high abrasion, oil and coolant, and offer excellent flexibility. They have been tested for over 10 million cycles at a bend radius of 10 times OD inside the company’s Energy Chain. Twelve sizes of the polyurethane hosing are available. Operating pressure is rated at 175 psi at 70°F, while operating temperature is 4 to 175°F. igus inc, E Providence, RI.   www.rsleads.com/302df-202

TPU tubing
Estane ETE (easy-to-extrude) TPUs eliminate the die build-up (also known as freezing) problems typically associated with extrusion of high hardness TPUs. This line provides an alternative to conventional material grades at Shore hardness levels of 50D and higher, providing greater performance and simplified processing. Noveon Inc, Cleveland, OH.   www.rsleads.com/302df-203

Tube fittings
T series tube fittings and speed controllers feature lightweight components and a compact design which maintains quality performance. Maximum service pressure for these components is 150 psi, and service temperature ranges are 32 to 140°F. Efficient methods of production have lowered the price of these components that are ISP Certified and available from stock. Pisco USA Inc, Elk Grove, IL.   www.rsleads.com/302df-204

Heavy duty threaded fittings
Schedule 80 threaded fittings are manufactured from glass-reinforced polypropylene for strength and durability. The fittings are chemical resistant to most acids, have an operating temperature range from 10° to 180°F and are recommended for maximum operating pressure of 150 psi at 70°F. The line includes tees, crosses, pipe- and reducer-nipples, reducer bushings, pipe caps, couplings and plugs. Bee Valve Inc, Elyria, OH.   www.rsleads.com/302df-205

Sanitary tubing, hose and fittings
This brochure provides an overview of the company’s sanitary tubing, hose, fittings and assemblies. Fittings are clearly identified with photo and label, showing the quality of the fittings — no burrs or rough edges. All layers of each hose type are identified. Fittings are identified by type, including pipe thread, cam and groove, compression, weld end or flange. Clamps and gaskets are also covered.

Teflon tubing
Designed to transport hot and cold fluids and powders or act as a conduit in harsh environments, this extruded Teflon tubing operates in continuous temperatures from -450° to 450°F, and is chemically inert and non-flammable. They are available in plain, corrugated and convoluted types, and feature varying degrees of flexibility, kink-resistance and burst pressures. MM Newman Corp, Marblehead, MA.   www.rsleads.com/302df-207

Plastic manifold
The LNM series of lightweight, compact manifolds is available in various materials, including nylon, natural or black Delrin, Teflon, natural or black polypropylene, Kynar, and white or gray PVC. Flow can be diverted to many ports while unused ports can be plugged. Fittings and tubing are available for product consistency, with inlet ports from ¼- to ½-in. and distribution ports from 1/8- to 3/8-in. female NPT. Industrial Specialties Mfg Inc, Englewood, CO.   www.rsleads.com/302df-208

Reinforced hose
RFH wire-reinforced thermoplastic rubber hose is manufactured without solvents, chemicals, or adhesives that can break down when exposed to extreme temperatures or chemicals. Capable of operating over a –60° to 325°F range, this hose has been tested to withstand over 1000 hours and tens of thousands of cycles of repeated flexing. It is available in sizes from 1- to 24-in. and 50 to 180 mm ID with cuffed end finishes. Hi-Tech Hose Inc, Georgetown, MA.   www.rsleads.com/302df-209

Protective hose sleeving
ProGard nylon sleeving provides mechanical protection of hoses and cables. Dense construction and a tight weave of high denier nylon yarns prevents chafing, cutting and abrading in rugged environmental conditions and extreme temperatures (up to 250°F). The density also serves as a barrier to displace spray from hydraulic hoses, helping prevent forceful bursts that can cause injury. Federal-Mogul, Exton, PA.   www.rsleads.com/302df-210

Tube mounting collars
This line of two-piece, clamp-style collars features two flats on the outside dia. of each collar, drilled and tapped for attachment to each other, along with a countersunk hole on the bore for mounting. Permitting easy repositioning and rerouting, these mounting collars come in bore sizes from 1/8- to 16-in. ID and can securely hold several tubes. Stafford Mfg Corp, Woburn, MA.   www.rsleads.com/302df-211
