Product Spotlight Hydraulics and Pneumatics 34 IEN / AUGUST '16 www.ien.com Interpump Expands Hose & Connector Product Lines Interpump Group S.p.A. has expanded its hose and con- nector product offering to the North American market, launching the new brand Interpump Hydraulic Con- nectors (Muncie, IN). Inter- pump Hydraulic Connectors is now in search of signifi cant distributor partners. This re- cent launch expands the company's offering beyond Europe, into the North American market, where the company has served as a producer of high quality hose and connectors for nearly 30 years. Inter- pump Hydraulic Connectors is a manufacturer of a complete line of hydraulic hose and both one-piece no-skive and two-piece skive and no-skive fi ttings. www.interpumphose.com; 844- 745-6335 Direct Drive Rotary Screw Compressors The redesigned DSD 200 and 250 direct drive rotary screw compressors from Kaeser Compressors (Fredericksburg, VA) deliver "built-for-a-lifetime" reliability, simple mainte- nance and sustainable energy savings, with fl ows from 544 - 888 cfm for the DSD 200 and 678 – 1059 cfm for the DSD 250 and pressures up to 217 psig. Other features include: • Lower life cycle costs. • Built-in heat recovery options. • An enhanced cooling design, eco-friendly fi lter element, integral moisture separator with drain and an Electronic Thermal Management system. • Standard Sigma Control 2, an intelligent controller that offers unsurpassed compressor control and monitoring with enhanced communications capabilities for seamless inte- gration into plant control/monitoring systems and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). www.kaesernews.com/dsdx; 877-586-2691 Flexible Cable for High Horsepower Applications The Lapp Group (Florham Park, NJ) is now offering its new ÖLFLEX VFD 2XL symmetrical motor and drive cable for high horsepower applications, including pumps, compres- sors, conveyors, elevators and extruders. Features include: • A rating for voltages as high as 2,000 V. • A large gauge cable with 3 symmetrical grounds. • A helical copper tape shield. • Oil- and UV-resistance. • A minimum bend radius of 15x cable diameter. • A low-capacitance design. • A test voltage of 6,000 V. • Class B stranded wire conductors. • A construction that includes bare stranded copper conductors, XLPE plus insulation, three bare stranded copper grounds and the helical copper tape shielding. • A black thermoplastic elastomer jacket that provides temperature resistance from -40° to +105°C for stationary use and -25° to +105ºC for fl exible use. • Key approvals, including CE (50V - 1kV), RoHS, TC-ER per UL 1277, WTTC per UL 2277, UL Oil Res I/II, 90°C Wet or Dry, -40°C Cold Bend, -25°C Cold Impact and Canadian CIC/TC rating (1 AWG - 4/0). www.lappusa.com; 800-774-3539 Rugged, Corrosion-Resistant Hose Reels Reelcraft (Columbia City, IN) announces its new Series HD70000 hose reels, designed to accommodate up to 100 feet of 3/8" I.D. hose or 75' of 1/2" I.D. hose. The heavy duty base design, all steel construction and a baked- on powder coat fi nish combine to produce a rugged, corro- sion-resistant product. A newly re-designed latching mechanism provides longer service life of the latch components. The contain- erized drive spring offers safer and easier han- dling during maintenance, says the company. Two sealed ball bearings produce a smoother spool rota- tion and easier operation. The guide arm adjusts to sev- en positions for various mounting locations and applications. www.reelcraft.com; 800-444-3134 (Columbia City, IN) announces its new Series HD70000 hose reels, designed to accommodate up to 100 feet of 3/8" I.D. hose or 75' of 1/2" I.D. hose.

Two Accessories for Hydraulic Data Loggers Webtec (Milwaukee, WI) has added two new accessories to its family of HPM hydraulic data loggers to allow users to easily measure oil particle contamination, oil moisture and temperature levels, as well as capture signals from pump solenoids, custom speed sensors and linear transducers. The fi rst new addition is the SR-ICM portable particle counter that can easily be connected into the hydraulic system via two pressure test points and used to display oil cleanliness and relative humidity and this data can easily be captured by the HPM hydraulic data logger. The new particle counter is ideal for test stand applications where the operator wants to demonstrate the oil cleanliness during a performance test and also to assist with preventative maintenance. The second addition is the SR-VADC-700, a new interface converter box which will extend the capability of the portable HPM data loggers by accepting high voltage, high current and frequency inputs ideal for plotting pump fl ow or speed versus solenoid current or cylinder fl ow and pressure versus rod position. www.webtec.com; 414-769-6400
