Protective covers for hydraulic hoses are still used to protect hoses on mobile construction and mining equipment. However, with the need for higher-pressure systems and more compact machine designs, there is an increasing need for ways to safely protect machine operators and personnel from catastrophic hydraulic hose failure.
MICO Introduces Hydraulic Apply Caliper Disc Brake
520 Series hydraulic apply caliper disc brake uses a modulated hydraulic pressure source, such as a master cylinder, to control brake torque.
PS300 Series Pressure Sensors for Hydraulic Applications
PS300 series pressure sensors for hydraulic applications feature a rugged, IP69K rated design to withstand harsh environments, provide a wide measuring range from 3 to 400 bar.
Spring-Engaged, Hydraulically Disengaged Caliper Brake from Nexen
Nexen Spring-Engaged, Hydraulically Disengaged Caliper Brakes feature fixed-point pivots, allowing equal braking force applied to both sides of the brake rotor.
Non-contact Linear Position Sensors
