SPOTLIGHT Was originally formed to reduce the lead times of our hydraulic integrated circuits and system design and build for TRIDENT HYDRAULICS. With over thirty years’ experience of system build, we know the importance of producing a Clean, high precision machined manifolds and components for the hydraulic industry. M4i offers a different approach then just manufacturing a manifold. It can design and manufacture from a circuit drawing and build and test a complete H I C System. We are also your final checker \ inspector before a production run giving customers peace of mind. It does this by running a simulation on its solid modelling CAD System. THERMAL DEBURRING All our manifolds are thermal deburred and camera inspection ready for plating or anodising. Manufacturing in the 12 months of trading we have produced over 2000 manifolds for leading valve manufacturers and system designers and hydraulic engineers. t | 01926 811395 (contact Mike Forster) e | info@tridenthydraulics.co.uk MANIFOLDS FOR INDUSTRY RAMKO HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS says it can supply a range of hydraulic rams direct to its customers via its secure online website. Its cylinders range in size from 32mm bore up to 125mm bore, with push power from 1.9 tonnes to 29 tonnes. As part of a commitment to providing the best products and services Ramko says it will now be offering customers the option of purchasing made to measure pins with its off the shelf cylinders and customers can save time and money by ordering cylinders and pins together and be confident of secure mounting with the perfect pins for their rams. These products will be available by 1st April 2019 t | 02887746253 e | sales@ramko.co.uk w | www.ramko.co.uk ONE STOP SHOP FOR HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS ONLINE UNIFLEX says its UIM 10 is the must- have machine for fast, precision marking. Visual marks that conform to the relevant standards can enhance process safety in the production of hose lines. With the UIM 10 marking machine, UNIFLEX says it offers a compact, cost- effective solution for the insert marking of a wide range of hydraulic hoses up to 2” in diameter and the reliable insert ensures that the hoses are positioned precisely. The machine can process up to 700 hose ends per hour, which is three times more than can be done by hand.

Interpump Group launched its HYPACK ranges for both the Interpump and Pratissoli pump ranges in 2017 by mating its industry leading high pressure water pumps to hydraulic motors from sister companies within the Interpump Hydraulics Group. The company says these “plug & play” packages reduce assembly costs and minimise component weight and footprint.Established in 1975, Dual Pumps is a leading supplier of pumps, fluid handling components, agricultural and industrial spraying products, pressure washers, pressure wash accessories and cleaning equipment w | www.dualpumps.co.uk FULL RANGE OF PUMPS Introducing the KM115/116 Series from HOLMBURY; high-pressure quick release couplings primarily used in bolt tensioners, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic hammers and other high-pressure applications Feature benefits include: Up to 1500 bar maximum working pressure KM116 – 1000 Bar KM115. Size ¼” Carbon steel with Zinc Nickel plating as standard provides +1200 hours service life (to red rust) in independent salt spray tests. KM116 is Black Zinc Nickel plated.Threads - BSP or NPT threads available Poppet valve design Locking ball system allows quick connect/disconnect Bi-directional flow Dust caps and plugs available for KM Series Operating temperature range -40°C to 106°C (Nitrile seals) t | 01732 378912 e | sales@holmbury.com w: www.holmbury.com HANDLING HIGH PRESSURE CAMOZZI AUTOMATION has introduced a new variant in its Series PR range of precision regulators with manual override. Complementing the existing PR1, PR2 is now available in two thread options 1/4” and 3/8”. The company says the new product employs the same pressure regulation feature with multiple diaphragms as is used in PR1, combining it with a larger passage section that, by means of poppets, increases flow to over 4000NI/min. Camozzi says improvements to sensitivity, regulation stability and high flow were all key objectives in the development of PR2 and many of the features of the new regulator have also been incorporated into PR1, thereby enhancing its performance. t | 024 7637 4114 e | askus@camozzi.co.uk w | www.camozzi.co.uk PRECISION SERIES PR REGULATORS Birmingham-based manufacturer HYDRAFORCE has announced that it has been shortlisted for two of this year’s Made in the Midlands Awards. The company, which produces hydraulic valves and manifold systems, has been nominated for Export Award of 2019, alongside seven other local businesses. This nomination follows a successful year for HydraForce where it achieved a record turnover of £109.1m for 2018, an increase of 39% on the previous year’s figures. HydraForce also has two apprentices who have been shortlisted for the Made in the Midlands Apprentice of the Year Award. The apprentices: Joshua Lambden and Ritik Sharma, are in the third year of their engineering apprenticeships at HydraForce. w | http://hydraforce.com/ EXPORT & APPRENTICE AWARDS 2019
