SPOTLIGHT Freudenberg Sealing Technologies says it is creating a turning point in the purchasing of B2B seals and components with its “Industrial Supply and Services” online platform exclusively starting in the UK as the first local market. The company says the Industrial Supply and Services (ISS) platform is the first online marketplace for high-quality B2B sealing solutions and components, setting new standards in the procurement of industrial parts, constant time pressure and waiting for offers are now a thing of the past and 24/7 availability and local order processing enable unrivalled speed for deliveries within the UK. Industrial Supply and Services platform is said to be much more than a simple online shop or anonymous marketplace with thousands of offers from daily changing merchants and from completely different needs segments – ISS is an industry-focused marketplace for the UK that includes the offerings of trusted local vendors. To make this possible, Freudenberg says it has worked with its long-standing local trading partners and integrated them as platform vendors in the project. The advantages are obvious: for the customers, this means a larger selection of products as well as comparisons regarding price, availability and additional services. The local order processing also ensures the fastest possible shipping. The range of products in 2018 for UK is limited to seals of the Freudenberg and DICHTOMATIK brands, but already includes more than 40,000 items – from O-rings to pneumatic seals and rod seals. However, Freudenberg will expand rapidly in terms of entering other regions and extending its product and service offering. t | +49 (0) 6201 80 89 1907 e | jan.helms@fst.com w | uk.iss.fst.com UNIFLEX has announced it has developed the stationary PR 14 pin pricking device for the compulsory pin pricking of the outer layer of gas conducting hoses for compressed air, nitrogen and so on. The company says the high-quality precision tool is extremely sturdy so that even hoses with outside diameters from 30 to 100 mm can now be pricked – in contrast to the PR 12 which processes hoses with an outside diameter of 8 to 55 mm as well as the lighter, portable PR 10 pin prick tool which caters for outside diameters from 8 to 45 mm. w | www.uniflex.de PIN PRICK TOOL FOR HOSES CAMOZZI AUTOMATION says its series 23 pneumatic cylinders embrace the innovative concept of ‘auto-cushioning’; reducing installation and commissioning time, to provide a cost-effective alternative to manually adjustable cylinders. The company says the versatile, general-purpose cylinder is compliant to ISO 6432; its patented system automatically adjusting cushioning in order to provide optimal deceleration under every condition. The cylinder enjoys smooth, jolt- free movement over the entire cushioning phase, reducing vibrations and noise, while also guaranteeing higher reliability and constant performance over time. The “auto-cushioning” system is based on the use of shaped sleeves that have a number of holes that are accurately positioned and precisely dimensioned. t | 024 7637 4114 e | askus@camozzi.co.uk w | www.camozzi.co.uk OPTIMAL DECELERATION HYDRAFORCE HYDRAULICS, Birmingham manufacturer of hydraulic valves and manifold systems, has announced it is proud to have featured on the Orange1 FFF racing team car at the second Round of the Blancpain Endurance Series Championship (9th – 12th May).

The results can be read straight from the screen and the S505 measures pressure dew point directly through internal pressure and dew point sensors, removing the need for calculations or correlating readings, saving time for more tests. The company says measuring is faster too, the dedicated measuring chamber allows the sensor to be isolated while not in use, meaning no more waiting forever for readings to stabilise. This handheld tester features interchangeable sensor modules for low -100 … -30°C or high - 50 … 20°C ranges. t | 01443 772500 e | sales@measuremonitorcontrol.com w | www.measuremonitorcontrol.com DEW POINT MONITORING ONLINE MARKETPLACE FOR INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS 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.
