Oilgear Announces New Controls on PVWJ Pumps

The Oilgear Company recently announced the addition of two new controls on their PVWJ open loop, axial piston pumps a proportional pressure control (P-A) and a dual pressure control (P-2). The new P-A control allows an infinite number of independent, remotely-adjustable pressure settings from one command. The P-2 control provides two independently-adjustable pressure compensated settings selected by one integral solenoid. Both controls will be available in normally-open and normally-closed configurations.

Oilgearrs PVWJ pumps are uniquely designed for enhanced stability in low- to medium-horsepower, industrial and mobile hydraulic applications. Now with ten different control types, the PVWJ pump permits easy field interchangeability without disconnecting from the drive or system piping.

PVWJ pumps are available in three frame sizes and ten displacements, allowing for greater flexibility to selectively match pressure and capacity. Each frame size effectively delivers low flow/high pressure to low pressure/high flow ranges with theoretical maximum displacements ranging from 0.66 in3/rev (10,8 ml/rev) to 7.94 in3/rev (130,2).

Since 1921, Oilgear has been a leading global supplier of high-performance fluid power equipment and systems for a variety of demanding applications. Founded on a tradition of bringing only the most advanced engineering to their customers, Oilgear continues to set the standard in industries requiring precise, high-performance systems, often operating in the harshest of environments.

WINTERS PTS SERIES TUBE STUB GAUGE NOW AVAILABLE IN HIGH PRESSURE RANGES INCLUDING 5,000 PSI


The PTS Series pressure gauge is specifically designed to be utilized with tube fitting applications. This gauge is now available in high pressure ranges up to and including
5,000 psi, in both bottom and back connections.

Winterss Tube Stub Gauges can be used with most double ferrule tube fittings, such as Parker A Lokk. It allows for installation where space is limited or where a Teflonn-free connection is required. Due to its 1/44 tube stub connection, the PTS Series allows for 3600 orientation so that pressure reading can be made easily accessible.

Tube Stub Gauges are widely used for measuring pressure in chemical processing and other
industrial environments where tube fitting is installed to prevent aggressive media from entering
the internals of the instrument. For applications where vibration exists, the Tube Stub Gauge is
liquid-filled to aid in stabilizing the pointer.

Winterss PST Series Tube Stub Gauge is offered in ranges from full vacuum to 5,000 psi. It is
heavy duty and constructed from stainless steel. The PTS Series is warrantied for 5 years.

Winters Instruments is a global manufacturer of pressure and temperature instrumentation, with

Cofair Products, Inc announces the introduction of self-adhering Tite Seal Hydraulic Hose Protector.

This revolutionary product provides a quick and easy solution to hose chafingg, the leading cause of hydraulic hose failure. Its unique abrasion-resistant neoprene protective barrier material was originally developed for use in the harsh environment of coal mines. Tite Seal Hydraulic Hose Protectorrs aggressive adhesive allows the protective wrap to be applied to the isolated specific areas of potential hose chafing, as opposed to covering the entire length of hose, thereby saving both time and money. Unlike traditional spiral hose protectors that require a different size protector for each hose diameter, with Tite Seal Hydraulic Hose Protector, one size fits all. The unique design of the neoprene wrap allows hoses to flex and bend, and also allows the material to be applied even after the hose has been installed on equipment.

Tite Seal Hydraulic Hose Protector is available in 122 and 500 rolls in retail packaging, and also in 3000 bulk rolls. It will be widely available throughout the U.S. and Canada.

NOSHOK 800/900 Series High Pressure Bleed Valves

NOSHOK 800/900 Series Bleed Valves provide a convenient means to relieve process pressures trapped between a shut off valve and the instrument.

The 800/900 Bleed Valves use the same patented features as the NOSHOK 100/150 Series Mini Valves, with an integrated single threaded body for insertion in a vent port. The Bleed Valve provides shutoff to a small bleed hole located on the side the hex which vents to atmosphere.

These Valves are available in electroless nickel plated 12L14 steel, electropolished 316 stainless steel and 360 brass. All bleed valves are equipped with a Vitonn O-ring and Teflonn back up ring below the stem threads to protect against corrosion and galling. Teflonn or Grafoill packing are optional. Their stem threads are rolled for greater strength and ease of operation, and they have a maximum pressure rating of 10,000 psi for steel and stainless models, and 6000 psi for brass models. All NOSHOK valves are 100% Helium leak tested to 1 x 10-4 ml/s for guaranteed performance and reliability.
