Fluid Power & Systems and Air-Tech 2016 attract biggest visitor numbers to date

26 April, 2016

In addition, ITM hydraulic adaptors, Brevini CETOP valves and hydraulic motors were exhibited. Beaumanor has its own hydraulic adaptor manufacturing plant in India, which produces the ITM range. This allows full quality control and delivery on the final machined products – the initial steel blank forgings were also displayed and proved of great interest to visitors.

Beko Technologies

Beko Technologies can now measure compressed air to ISO 8573-1 class 1 of the ISO standards. This is very important for industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, automotive and many more. Beko Technologies has a portable test rig that comprises the following four components:-

• Metpoint OCV system for the measurement of hydrocarbon levels downs to 0.003 mg/m3, which allows for accurate measurement well below the class 1 standard of less than 0.01 mg/m3.

• The Metpoint dewpoint sensor capable of reading down to -100c pdp, which is also well below the class 1 for Moisture of -70c.

• Metpoint BDL a graphic display for the recording of the parameters for compressed air and gas applications.

The company also offers a laser particle counter that can measure at 0.1, 0.5, and 1 micron particle sizes as per the ISO 8573.

BVAA

Hydraulics and pneumatics are two of the key power sources in the valve industry, along with electrical actuation. However, one of the main goals of the British Valve & Actuator Association (BVAA) at Fluid Power & Systems was to promote its series of valve industry courses, which now also includes basic introductions to hydraulics, pneumatics and electrics. The courses are delivered in partnership with the National Fluid Power Centre (NFPC) at Worksop. These complement the BVAA’s existing portfolio of more specific valve industry courses.

Hydrapower Dynamics

Equipment featured on the Hydrapower Dynamics’ stand at Fluid Power & Systems included the recently introduced the Finn-Power P20NMS and P32NMS crimping machines for service use. These robust and fast machines are designed for the toughest environments, and provide productivity in a silent working environment.

These models turn hydraulics off to conserve energy and to reduce work¬place noise levels whenever the machine is idle. Innovative engineering provides quality and productivity while the new design protects the machine when operating in the toughest environments.

Hydraulic Projects Ltd.

On its stand at Fluid Power & Systems, Hydraulic Projects Ltd. displayed the Hy-Pro Radio Remote Control system, which comprises a paired based unit and handset. It will control 20 solenoids or 10 valve sections, with proportional options, at a range of up to 45m. As a major safety feature, this pairing of base unit and handset is said to ensure that only one receiver responds to the handset, even in a yard full of identical machines.

Should a handset need to be replaced in the future, there is a rapid ‘re-pairing’ feature. The handset has an ‘all stop’ function for further safety, and the system utilises radio modules which are certified to appropriate standards; including EMC.

MA Hydraulics Ltd.

MA Hydraulics Ltd. demonstrated the Vivoil MIA-FD flow divider at Fluid Power & Systems. MIA FD is the acronym for Manifold Instantaneous Auto-compensating Flow Divider. The VIVOIL MIA-FD flow divider is the answer to the market request for continuous improvement of:
