Gates new Full-Torque Nut coupling eliminates leaks
Gates Corporations new Full-Torque Nut coupling is designed to increase productivity and uptime by eliminating nut cracking that can occur during installation of high-pressure, wire-braid hydraulic hose assemblies.
The Full-Torque Nut design is standard on Gates MegaCrimp couplings for wire-braid hoses and GlobalSpiral couplings for spiral-wire hoses.
The coupling is stronger and more durable than traditional staked-nut couplings that are prone to cracking when over-torqued while being attached to hydraulic ports on mobile-construction equipment.
Gates Full-Torque Nut coupling features a large, smooth holding shoulder that evenly distributes stress forces at the nut. This patented design eliminates nut cracking, seat damage, fluid leaks and premature coupling failure.

Sensata Introduces a New Pressure Sensor for Construction Equipment Hydraulic Systems
New Ruggedizedd 8PP3 Pressure Sensor is much more tolerant to the
high-torque stress of field repair and mechanical impact
Sensata Technologies (www.sensata.com) will introduce a new ruggedd version of their 8PP3 Silicon MEMS Strain Gage pressure sensor at the International Fluid Power Exposition 2008. Shown for the first time at IFPE and designed for use on construction and earth-moving equipment operating in harsh work-site environments, the new 8PP3 sensor features a redesigned and strengthened hex mounting feature that enables quick, easy and damage-free installation during onsite equipment assembly or field repairs.
When hydraulic arms and joints operating on cranes, extensions, lifts, buckets or shovels are not performing properly, checking the pressure sensor on a hydraulic line is often the first troubleshooting step. Frequently sensors are damaged in the field by the use of open ended wrenches that donnt have the benefit of torque limiterss said Gregg Pestana, Sensata Construction Equipment Market Segment Manager. Our new 8PP3 has a significantly strengthened case that is extremely robust with respect to open-end wrench installation and removall.
The hydraulics on construction equipment require pressure sensors that operate at pressure levels as high as 20,000 psi. Sensataas 8PP3 silicon MEMS pressure sensor has an operating pressure of up to 30,000 psi and is an important component in the construction industryys trend towards more efficient electro-hydraulic operated machinery. In these systems, pressure sensors -- mounted at the hydraulic manifold -- monitor the fluid pressure and load on each line and provide input for advanced on-board equipment electro-hydraulic controls.
The 8PP3 sensor features a one-piece stainless steel port that requires no internal fluid seals and is available in a variety of threaded connection styles. Built-in self-diagnostic capabilities can interface directly with equipment control systems.
Sensata Technologiess pressure sensors and switches are used in a wide range of applications and are available in a variety of fittings, packaging materials, pressure ratings and electrical inputs/outputs. For more information about the company or their full line of technologies for the construction, agriculture, automotive or HVAC/R industries, please call (888) 438-2214, or visit www.sensata.com/pressure

Eaton Introduces Competitively Priced Variable Crimp Machine
Designed To Deliver Precision And Simplicity
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporationns Hydraulics Operations has introduced a new two-inch capacity hose crimping machine that offers broad crimp capability and simplicity at a competitive price point. The new ET1290 variable crimp machine will handle virtually all Aeroquipp hose styles through 32 SAE100R15 hose and fittings. A dial indicator is used to control crimp diameter, providing a high degree of precision while maintaining the ability to adjust finished crimp diameter to meet application requirements.
The ET1290 is a rugged, all-mechanical design with no delicate electronics,, said Product Manager Mike Henning. We incorporated design features like a moving crimp ring and quick-change crimp cages to simplify the operatorrs task and make the machine easy to use..
The ET1290 incorporates the same method of setting target crimp diameter used in Eatonns popular ET1280 crimp machine. It also uses the ET1295 master die cage and insert sets, as well as traditional ProCrimpp die cages.
Eaton offers the ET1290 in two configurations: a stand-mounted model that can be equipped with Eaton ET1295 insert set holders and a bench-mounted model intended for installation in Aeroquip Express Vans. A choice of 110-volt, 1.5 HP or 220-volt, 3 HP electric power units is offered for both models.

New VG35EH Open-Center Directional Control Valve from Parker
VG35EH Open-Center Directional Control Valve Features Electrohydraulic Operation, Allowing Users to Take Machine Control to the Next Level
Parker, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has added electrohydraulic functionality to its popular VG35 mobile hydraulic valve.
The new VG35EH open-center directional control valve features a global solenoid (pwm) that can be used for proportional or on/off control. A pilot-generating /regulating section positioned adjacent to the inlett the utility section generates and regulates pilot pressure in an open-center circuit. An outlet can accept an external regulated signal, providing an option when the utility section is not required.
The valvees work sections are rated to 275 Bar (4000 PSI) and come in 4-way/3- position and 3-way/3-position.
The new electrohydraulic offering optimizes machine control with these benefits:
The pressure required to move the spools is generated and regulated internally, eliminating the need for any in-line devices and the associated plumbing, which saves on installation costs.
There is no impact on open-center pressure drops when the main spools are in neutral because pressure generation is triggeredd to activate only when a spool is selected. This yields less heat generation and reduces fuel consumption.
No impact on loop pressure drops P-A/B and A/B-T maximizes horsepower utilization.
The utility section maintains pilot pressure to the solenoids with over-running loads, ensuring that productivity is not adversely affected during pump over-demand condition.
A dedicated solenoid drain to the reservoir optimizes solenoid performance, translating into consistent metering and machine controllability.
The pressure generating/regulating section has a selective solenoid dumpp option. In the normal position, the de-energized solenoid routes the regulated signal to the reservoir. To operate the main control valve, the solenoid must be energized. This provides selectivee operation of the VG35 control valve.
