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.

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.

gemue0115The universally applicable Gemü 536 straight seat valve is robustly constructed and reliable in operation. The fitting was developed with a view to a long service life and low maintenance requirements. The externally controlled 2/2-way valve has a diaphragm actuator that can be controlled with neutral gaseous media. The valve seat is shut off by a valve disk that is movably arranged on the valve spindle. In addition to steel, PTFE and a glass fiber reinforced PTFE variant are available as seat seals.
fipa0416A spring tappet compensates for height and level differences when mounting the suction cup directly. The internal air duct simplifies the tubing. Furthermore, the spring plunger ensures that the suction cup is gently placed on the workpiece. The new anti-twist spring plungers from Fipa reliably protect against dirt thanks to the internal spring.

lardJ. Schmalz presents the new high-speed suction cup SAXM with an extremely high stroke and a new internal structure. In this way, they ensure good adaptation to different workpiece contours and significantly increased transverse force absorption even on oiled sheets. This enables the fastest cycles and maximum output quantities, as when used in press lines. The new double sheet control DBD has a flexibly mounted sensor holder and ensures that the sensor is placed exactly on the workpiece. This reduces false signals and downtimes to a minimum when separating sheet metal.

Zeller + Gmelin brings with Zubora 57 modern, water-miscible cooling lubricants (Kss) for the Machining on the market. The boron and formaldehyde releasable cooling lubricant covers many applications with its individually tailored additive concept. The individual cooling lubricants are suitable for normal to tough Steelsorts, Icingmaterials and Aluminium. Often even that Copper based alloys Processing possible.

FipaA safe vacuum for every workpiece, regardless of size, surface structure and porosity: the Fipa area grippers, designed in six different basic formats from 70 x 70 to 160 x 600 mm, offer consistently strong holding power for automated handling of a wide variety of materials. "In the event that our six standard formats do not cover the special requirements of the customer, we quickly implement customer-specific solutions," says Managing Director Rainer Mehrer.

imi10216IMI Precision Engineering introduces the new 51D electronic pressure switch from IMI Norgren. This is suitable for all standard pneumatic applications in which it works precisely with an overall accuracy of ± 2%. The pressure switch can be used in pressure ranges from -1 to 10 bar and -1 to 1 bar and has two electrical outputs (2 x PNP and 2 x NPN).

Stauff represents the revised Plug-in coupling QRC ID for the Stationaryplumber in front. It is very compact and easy to use. The coupling series is also suitable for use under harsh environmental conditions and for nominal pressures of up to 400 bar. The plug-in coupling offers a highly effective Corrosion Protection for harsh environmental conditions.
