MICO Introduces Hydraulic Apply Caliper Disc Brake
NORTH MANKATO, Minn. MICO Incorporated introduces the new 520 Series hydraulic apply caliper disc brake for on and off-highway service braking applications. The new fixed caliper type brake uses a modulated hydraulic pressure source, such as a master cylinder, to control brake torque. It can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal position and linings can be replaced without removing the brake.
The brake includes two ductile iron caliper halves that are pressurized by a single inlet port cross-over tube feature, which allows hydraulic pressure to actuate the 2.25-inch diameter piston in each half. The unit provides for continuous duty pressure of 1,000 PSI and intermittent duty pressure of 1,500 PSI. Weighing approximately 17 pounds, the brake requires a minimum disc diameter of 15 inches.
To reduce unnecessary lining wear, the caliper disc brake features a spring-operated lining retractor mechanism that maintains a constant lining-to-rotor disc clearance distance whenever the brake is not applied. The total lining contact area is 12.4 square inches, with a usable lining thickness of 0.32 inches on each side. Linings can be replaced without disassembling or removing the brake, allowing for reduced maintenance time and costs.
Installation of the caliper disc brake is made simple due to the brakees flexibility to be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical position. The unit can be attached directly to a threaded hanger or clamp.
MICO, Incorporated designs, manufactures and markets brake systems, hydraulic components and controls, primarily for off-road markets. For more information, contact MICO, Incorporated, 1911 Lee Boulevard, North Mankato, MN 56003, call 507-625-6426, fax 507-625-3212, send an e-mail to micomail@mico.com or visit the companyys Web site at www.mico.com.

New Aluminum Tube Fittings from Parker are 65% Lighter
COLUMBUS, OH - Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced a new line of SAE aluminum tube fittings that are approximately 65% lighter than equivalent steel and stainless steel fittings to deliver customer value in terms of reduced transportation expense and more convenient hydraulic system conversion.
Specifying lightweight aluminum fittings from Parker can provide immediate fuel, freight and vehicle-transfer cost savings. The expense of converting a system from steel or stainless steel can also be minimized because no component redesign is necessary when performing a changeover - the fittings are manufactured to SAE J514 dimensions for 377 flare fittings and SAE J1453 dimensions for O-ring face seal fittings.
New aluminum connectors from Parker's Tube Fittings Division are particularly suited for applications where weight reduction and/or corrosion resistance are essential, such as military, marine, mining, transportation and aerial lift trucks. The maximum working pressure rating for the fittings is approximately 50% of equivalent steel fittings while the temperature rating ranges from -400F to 4000F depending on the seal material.
Parker's aluminum O-ring Face Seal (ORFS) tube fittings feature patented Trap-Seal technology whereby a trapezoidal-shape seal provides superior retention in the O-ring face seal groove to prevent "pop out" associated with round-shape O-rings. This further reduces the risk of seal damage and leakage.
Another Parker-patented innovation - Robust Port Stud - offers superior seal reliability of adjustable SAE aluminum connector port ends. With no exposed threads between the locknut and backup washer, the potential for washer damage - and resulting leaks - is eliminated.

Sauer-Danfoss new Automotive Control solution.
Sauer-Danfoss Launches SIL 2 Certified Automotive Control
New Automotive Control solution provides consistent and reliable vehicle
performance, with improvements in efficiency, productivity and operator
comfort.
Sauer-Danfosss new Automotive Control (AC) solution offers OEMs a complete SIL 2 (Safety
Integrity Level 2 according to IEC 61508) certified transmission system that significantly reduces
OEM vehicle development, qualification expenses and new product time to market. The
PLUS+11 Compliant system incorporates an H1 variable piston pump with embedded
electronic control, H1 bent axis variable piston motor, sensors and associated Human Machine
Interface (HMI) devices. Combined with intelligent software, AC provides an automotive style
automatic transmission driving experience that allows operators to adjust hydrostatic
transmission characteristics to suit specific operating requirements. Combining state-of-the-art
H1 technology and 25 years of electronic automotive control development, AC not only helps
increase vehicle performance and overall efficiency, but also provides improvements in
productivity and comfort.
Functional Safety and Easy Installation
The H1 embedded controller (H1 AC), features robust electronics mounted directly on the H1
pump. All electrical connections are conveniently located for easy OEM vehicle installation and
complete semi-automatic sensor calibration for PLUS+1 Compliant drive and inching foot
pedals, for example. The embedded controller also features additional watch dogg circuitry,
which provides real time fault monitoring of the electronic hardware. Combined with optional
software to monitor redundant HMI input channels, H1 AC provides single fault tolerance for
AC vehicle transmission systems, SIL 2 certified by TTV (Technischer berwachungsverein).
This helps vehicle manufacturers meet European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and related
safety standard (ISO 13849-1:2006), and also reduces OEM cost and time required for system
qualification and vehicle certification.
Our H1 Automotive Control is the first solution on the market to offer the precision and
consistent performance of intelligent electronics, combined with complete drive system
functionality, system qualification and SIL 2 certification.. said Joseph P. Maher, System
Portfolio Manager. OEMs will be able to reduce time to market for new vehicles and model
variants while still customizing vehicle behavior and providing differentiation for their products..
The H1 AC software is easily configured to OEM requirements, and is also designed to SIL 2
IEC 61508 standard. Features include engine anti-stall and protection against engine over-speed,
extreme high and low hydraulic oil temperature conditions, and hydraulic motor over-speed. In
addition, variations in hydraulic oil viscosity affecting control performance are compensated for
automatically. The result is consistent, predictable vehicle performance irrespective of operating
temperature.
Complete Vehicle Propel Functionality and Customization
The H1 AC is customizable via the PLUS+1 Service Tool between four operator selectable
system modes that can be programmed according to three main propel methods or mode types.
Automotive Mode:
Hydrostatic pump and motor displacement are controlled automatically according to an OEM
configured automotive curve as a function of engine rpm. Typically used for vehicle transport or
to provide engine anti-stall functionality during heavy load conditions common on wheel loaders,
telehandlers, or site dumpers.
Non-automotive Mode:
Hydrostatic pump displacement is controlled directly through a foot pedal or joystick input from
the operator and is independent of engine rpm. Typically used during vehicle work requiring a
specific engine speed setting for work functions common on sweepers, snow blowers, or
mowers.
Creep-automotive Mode:
The creep-automotive mode provides pump control via an algorithm that combines both the
engine rpm and the foot pedal or joystick inputs.
Additional benefits include the ability to further customize hydraulic pump and motor
displacement control profile and ramp times, provide constant speed drive functionality,
interface to vehicle systems via CAN, and easy-to-use diagnostics.
Using the PLUS+1 Service Tool AC software service screens, the OEM can configure up to 4
different operator-selectable system modes with varying vehicle drive behaviors to meet a variety
of application requirements. The system modes are selected through switch settings on the
vehicle, and allow OEMs to configure working and driving modes, tailor driving behavior to suit
specific working conditions or even the skill levels of operators. This enables the OEM to use
the same hardware for a range of vehicles with different software settings, significantly improving
vehicle manufacturing flexibility. The software set-up service screens provide OEMs with a step
reduction in both development time and expense for highly differentiated new vehicle designs.
