What is fluid technology and why is it needed?
Fluid power deals with components, systems and technologies that are linear and rotating Transfer forces and Generate movements. Oil is used in hydraulics, air in pneumatics, more precisely compressed air, and vacuum technology creates a vacuum that can be used to grip components, for example. While the good old hydraulics are easy to control high forces is predestined, pneumatics is suitable for applications that require high speeds, but more low forces have to transfer. Fluid technology can be found in the drive technology for machines and systems of all kinds.

Fluid technology for special industries
Special industries like Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Medical Technology, food technology, Microsystems Technology, Mobile Machinery require specially designed developments and knowledge. Here we introduce you to the latest innovations in the field of fluid technology.
Renewable energies
Tube forming system and high-pressure valves for hydrogen technology
There is movement in the German hydrogen strategy. Only so-called green hydrogen produced from renewable energies is climate-neutral. Pepperl+Fuchs covers the entire value chain with sensors and explosion protection components, there is a new cooperation for the development of 5 to 15 MW hydrogen systems.
food technology
Vacuum cooling as the fastest cooling method for baked goods
The new vacuum cooler from Durrer ensures high efficiency in the bakery of commercial and industrial bakeries. Vacuum cooling improves the shelf life of baked goods and significantly increases efficiency in the bakery. This is what customers in the baking industry appreciate about these systems.
Automobile
Dispense liquid sealant directly onto automotive components
Henkel is now presenting a milestone for automotive production with a new technology for liquid gaskets. With Loctite AA 5884's directly doseable polyacrylate gasket technology, users get increased oil resistance and the proven lower gas permeability. This reduces the overall costs.
Fluid technology for machines and systems
Fluid technology fulfills the requirements in plant and mechanical engineering often drive engineering tasks. It is used to generate linear and rotating movements or forces hydraulically or pneumatically. If the application requires high, easily controllable forces, this is a task for the hydraulics. Pneumatics, on the other hand, are predestined when high speeds with low forces are required. In vacuum technology, on the other hand, negative pressure is generated. One area of application is the handling of parts.

IMI Precision Engineering has presented the world's only "Fail Freeze" proportional valve (pressure-maintaining in the event of a fault in the supply voltage) that is certified according to Atex (IS) for use in hazardous environments. The valve of the 422IS series allows the use of flammable gases as a control medium instead of compressed air. This makes compressed air generation at remote locations unnecessary.

The biocide-free additive "CX" from Oemeta, together with "Hycut" as a two-component cooling lubricant, forms a further developed high-performance emulsion for all types of metal cutting. The additive stabilizes the pH value and offers very good protection against corrosion. This means that Hycut is evolving into a modern, next-generation cooling lubricant that not only the automotive industry trusts.

The water-miscible coolant (KSS) from Oemeta enables exceptionally high lubrication performance. Estramet S 77 consists of synthetic ester oils. When mixed in water, the cooling lubricant forms a translucent emulsion. The properties of the cooling lubricants were developed for demanding machining, in particular for high-alloy steels, aluminum alloy and titanium alloy.

Loads of up to 4000 kg per m² can be conveyed gently and practically frictionless on a film of air on the "fixed sliding" ball transfer unit from Orimair. This is particularly advantageous for soft and sensitive surfaces, since the load is absorbed over a large area and not at points. Conveyor tables or vacuum tables of any size can be built with the elements using the mosaic method.

Lincoln has developed a distributor for the "Centro-Matic" single-line centralized lubrication system, which represents a major step forward for single-line centralized grease lubrication systems. After the metered release of lubricant, the pressure in the single-line distributors must be relieved before another lubrication cycle can take place. Depending on the lubricant and line system, this can become critical for automatic centralized grease lubrication systems when the ambient temperature drops. Due to the two-chamber design and a differential piston, the SL-V distributor can bring about a much faster pressure relief and already reverses at a residual pressure of 69 bar.
