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.

As late as possible, as early as necessary: ​​This is the formula for the optimal time to replace filters in high and medium pressure hydraulic filtersto ensure trouble-free operation in hydraulic systems. A new two-stage contamination indicator from Stauff lowers the costs for the user Hydraulic system, The revised version of type HI-D024 considerably simplifies checking the contamination status of the filters.

blaser0719aIn the in-house, ultra-modern technology center in Switzerland, Blaser Swisslube puts the cooling lubricants through their paces as early as the development phase. The new technologies include the crystal clear "Synergy 735", the high-performance grinding oil "Blasogrind GTC 7" and the latest "B-Cool MC 610" for mixed production.

pfeiffer0312Pfeiffer Vacuum and Glimo have jointly developed the "Vacu²" multi-stage vacuum process for die casting, in which the casting chambers and mold cavities are evacuated in two stages. The vacuum created in this way leads to very good part quality.

The new Vacuum gripper Series FGS-120 from Gimatic is modular, very flexible and energy efficient. With the modular vacuum grippers, differently shaped components in various sizes and different porosities can be handled very easily. A integrated vacuum generator provides the vacuum and makes the grab suitable for use in various industries. In packaging technology or intralogistics, the vacuum cups or vacuum plates reliably grip sheet metal, Plastic, Glass, wood, cardboard or cans.
