New Edition FUEL AND LUBRICATION EQUIPMENT CATALOGUE Encapsulated coil and industrial connector specialist ATAM, says it will be at Hannover Messe (April 1-5, 2019 – Hall 23, Stand B 12)) with a new proposal; the 257 ATEX and IECEx approved coil for Zone 1 gas and dust and for applications up to M2. The company says this new solution complements the already wide range of encapsulated and explosion proof coils designed by ATAM for use in potentially explosive environments. ATAM says the 257 coil addresses highly demanding pneumatic applications and meets all the necessary approvals to ensure maximum safety of use, even in mining environments. t | 024 7632 6060 (DDI: 024 7658 0018) e | lhargrave@atam.uk.com TWO SPEED PRESSURE TEST VERTICAL AIR RECEIVERS As a company that listens carefully to changes in market demands and industry trends, HI-LINE INDUSTRIES says it now holds a range of class-leading Vertical Air Receivers in stock and the top- quality vessels are available immediately at highly competitive prices. Currently, four sizes of Vertical Air Receivers are being stocked at Hi-line: 300, 500, 1000 and 2000 litre variants. The vessels are manufactured at Hi-line’s new factory, centrally located in Burton- upon-Trent where the company has a storage facility populated with the vessels ready for immediate shipping or collection. The company says receivers provide valuable temporary storage for compressed air, particularly at facilities with high air consumption. The vessels also serve to stabilise pressure peaks and provide steady air flow. Not having one as part of a compressed air system can increase the load/unload cycles on the compressor, making it work harder. All of the Vertical Air Receivers stocked by Hi-line are powder-coat finished in compressed air blue (RAL 5015) and are PED compliant to 2014/68/EU. Indeed, quality is the primary attribute of the vessels, which are built by robots to ensure perfect and consistent welding quality. In addition, high- quality 5mm plate and fittings are used throughout. As a result of this build quality, the Vertical Air Receivers are twice the weight (pro rata) of standard catalogue vessels. t | 01283 533377 e | enquiries@hilineindustries.com w | www.hilineindustries.com BoWex curved-tooth gear couplings are flexible shaft connections for positive torque transmission designed to compensate for axial, radial, and angular shaft misalignment. KTR’s BoWex M, consists of two toothed hubs and a nylon sleeve with toothing inside KTR says that, while a standard jaw-type coupling might provide an advantage in its ability to adjust the performance of the coupling by changing the shore hardness of the elastomer insert – not possible with a nylon sleeve gear coupling – the BoWex M also offers advantages. A standard BoWex M coupling is double cardanic. This means the design features two points of flexion, offering significant compensation for radial misalignments. t | 0114 258 7757 e | uksales@ktr.com w | www.ktr.com CURVED-TOOTH GEAR COUPLINGS s/^/d >K^/ d , EEKs Z D ^^ ϮϬϭϵ d͗ нϰϰ ;ϬͿ ϭϱϱϯ ϲϳϲ ϴϳϴ ͗ ŝŶĨŽΛůŽƐŝƵŬ͘ĐŽ͘ƵŬ t͗ ǁǁǁ͘ůŽƐŝƵŬ͘ĐŽ͘ƵŬ >Ž^ŝ ǁŝůů ŽŶĐĞ ĂŐĂŝŶ ďĞ ĞdžŚŝďŝƚŝŶŐ Ăƚ ƚŚĞ ,ĂŶŶŽǀĞƌ DĞƐƐĞ džŚŝďŝƚŝŽŶ ŝŶ Ɖƌŝů͘ KŶĞ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ƉƌŽĚƵĐƚƐ ƚŚĞLJ ŚĂǀĞ ŽŶ ƐŚŽǁ ŝƐ ƚŚĞŝƌ ĐŽŵƉůĞƚĞ ƐƚĞĞƌŝŶŐ ƐLJƐƚĞŵ ƉĂĐŬĂŐĞ͘ ‡ ,LJĚƌĂƵůŝĐ ŽƌďŝƚĂů ƐƚĞĞƌŝŶŐ ƵŶŝƚ ‡ ^ƚĞĞƌŝŶŐ ĐŽůƵŵŶ ‡ ^ƚĞĞƌŝŶŐ ǁŚĞĞů ‡ ůĞĐƚƌŝĐĂů ĨŽƌǁĂƌĚ ƌĞǀĞƌƐĞ ƐŚŝĨƚĞƌ ‡ ůĞĐƚƌŝĐĂů ƚƵƌŶ ƐŝŐŶĂů ŝŶĚŝĐĂƚŽƌ ^ĞĂůĞĚ ƚŽ /Wϲϳ ƌĂƚŝŶŐ ĂŶĚ ŽĨ ŚĞĂǀLJ ĚƵƚLJ ĐŽŶƐƚƌƵĐƚŝŽŶ͕ ƚŚĞƐĞ ĐŽŵƉŽŶĞŶƚƐ ĂƌĞ ŝĚĞĂů ĨŽƌ ďŽƚŚ ŶŽ ĐĂď ĂŶĚ ǁŝƚŚ ĐĂď ĂƉƉůŝĐĂƚŝŽŶƐ͘ &ŝŶĚ ƵƐ ŝŶ ŚĂůů ϮϬ͕ ƐƚĂŶĚ Ϯϲ ĨŽƌ ĨƵƌƚŚĞƌ ŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƚŝŽŶ͘ With over 30 years’ experience in the hydraulic industry, M&R HYDRAULICS says it is geared to provide a rapid response for hydraulic components supply and repair.
