Aftermarket March 2022

F or anyone interested in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, as well as compressed air and vacuum tools, the co-located Fluid Power & Systems and Air-Tech shows, taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 5-7 April, will be the place to be. For workshops, air compressors and air tools are often vital tools. They enable a number of key tasks such as tyre inflation, cleaning, spray painting, cutting, drilling, hammering, grinding, polishing and sanding to be performed quickly and efficiently. Supported by the British Fluid Power Association (BFPA) and Aftermarket’s stablemate Hydraulics & Pneumatics magazine, Fluid Power & Systems offers the largest gathering of companies from across the world displaying and demonstrating the latest in mechanical and electro- mechanical equipment, with free entry for visitors. Air-Tech is supported by the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS), together with more Aftermarket sister titles, namely Hydraulics & Pneumatics and Plant & Works Engineering magazines. This show again covers the very latest in compressed air, vacuum and generators.
