heat resistance, improved fluid compatibility, resistance to
high-pressure extrusion and abrasion resistance. An O-ring
dying process has been developed to provide identification.
Additional standard sizes are available.
Micron orifices,
Booth 2450 These
micron orifices are available in miniature fittings. One
example of these orifices is a 0.001 ruby orifice (25.4
micron), with 5-micron filters on either side of the orifice.
They are supplied complete in color-coded plastic (Kynar,
polypropylene or nylon), 1/16-in. barb x 10-32 thread.
Fittings include inline, bulkhead, quick connects,
push-to-connect or even retrofits of existing fittings.
Rotary vane pumps,
Booth 2744 These
rotary vane pumps offer intermittent pump capacity in a low
profile, modular design. Reversible models are available.
Pressure and vacuum sides are switched by reversing motor
polarity — no additional valves are needed. Pumps can be
operated at different voltages and controlled continuously via
the distribution voltage. Vacuum levels of 600 to 800 mbar are
achievable.
Online nozzle selection,
Booth 2824 iSpray
interactive web tool enables users to evaluate and select
spraying nozzles, based on flow rate and pressure
requirements. Proprietary tools aid in determining capacity
and configuring tooling, coating and humidification for
building complete nozzle assemblies. Photos, drawings and
detailed specifications as well as info on various nozzle
types are available.
Rotary actuators,
Booth 3053 Intended
for small parts handling, these rotary actuators have an
air-over-oil feature that offers the advantages of hydraulics
without the traditional hydraulic plumbing. The units run on
standard shop air, but have a self-contained hydraulic system
to absorb large quantities of kinetic energy, cushioning the
load. Suited for load flipping, torques range from 47.7 to
711.8 lbs/in.
