ERGOMATIC- 750 LOM-4 2-DCM Pneumatic Grippers Ideal for Tight Spaces Fabco-Air, Inc. (Gainesville, FL) has announced the launch of the new FKHS Series 3 Jaw Parallel Motion Pneumatic Gripper product line. The compact design makes these grippers ideal for han- dling small parts in tight spac- es, and it is available in 6 dif- ferent bore sizes. A magnetic piston is a standard feature on all FKHS Series 3 Jaw Grippers. Subsequently, a com- prehensive offering of position sensing includes: • Round profi le sensors with surge suppression. • Polarity protection. • LED indication. Mounting is made easy via direct body (top and bottom) mounting holes. www.fabco-air.com; 352-373-3578 (Gainesville, FL) has announced the launch of the new FKHS Series 3 Jaw Parallel Motion Pneumatic Gripper product line.

Leak Free Fittings Manufactured in the USA, the Flaretite Seal from Flaretite, Inc. (Fenton, MI) is a metal stamping, designed with multiple, concentric sealing rings. The sealing rings prevent environ- mental debris and aggressive cleaning solvents from attacking the sealing face while baked-on Loctite sealant protects the face from fretting, galling and over-tightening. When inserted into a fi tting, concentric rings form multiple seals down the face of the fl are, while the Loctite coating fi lls minor imperfec- tions, dramatically increasing the integrity of the fi tting. New ISO and NFPA standards strongly recommend seals for all fi ttings. The Flaretite Seal will not fail during a fi re, allow- ing atomized hydraulic oil to fuel the fi re. Additionally, it fi ts all standard JIC/SAE/JIS fl are fi t- tings, hydraulic and pneumatic, and protects against weeping on new and damaged fi ttings. www.fl aretite.com; 810-750-4140 Multi-Passage Rotary Union Line Kadant Johnson Inc., a subsidiary of Kadant Inc. (Three Rivers, MI), has announced the global launch of a new multi-passage rotary union line for power, fl uid and data transfer. The new product line features standard con- fi gurations designed to meet the needs of the most com- mon industrial and commer- cial applications requiring a rotary sealing device with 2 to 12 passages. Multi-passage rotary unions provide sets of seals between stationary connections and ro- tating equipment, such as a drum, index table, clutch or spindle. The multiple, independent passages permit the fl ow of the same or different media into and out of rotating equipment. In most cases, each passage requires isolation from other passages, especially when the different media cannot mix or they operate at different pressures. The key to reliability is dependable sealing technology, says the company, which is why Kadant Johnson's multi-passage rotary union line is designed with DuraSeal high-per- formance elastomeric sealing materials to ensure reliability and long service life for the toughest applications. www.kadant.com; 269-278-1715 , a subsidiary of Kadant Inc.

The VFD fl ow control valves regulate fl ows from 1.5 to 50 gpm up to 6,000 psi, and are ideal for regulating the speed of hydraulic motors. The VFD also offers superb pressure compen- sation, ensuring the priority fl ow is virtually unaffected by variations in load. www.webtec.com; 800-932-8378
