SKF Progressive Lubrication Systems provide continuous lubrication as long as the pump is in operation. Once the pump stops, the pistons of the progressive metering device will stop in their current positions. When the pump starts supplying lubricant again, the pistons will carry on where they left.
Parker’s line of Pneumatic Flow Controls offer precise adjustments, accuracy, and compactness to meet any application. Pneumatic flow controls are available in composite, brass, nickel plated brass, and stainless steel and provide precise speed control of air flow entering or leaving a pneumatic actuator.
The PYPLOK® connecting system is a weld-less, thread-less way to join pipe. Using a portable, hand-held installation tool, couplings are cold worked and permanently compressed onto the piping, forming a permanent leak-tight seal.
Why Pyplok?
- Swage your fittings in seconds, dramatically reducing your downtime during repairs.
- Skip the expensive certified welders and fire watch personnel
- Forget about hot work permits – Pyplok® fittings are swaged cold
- Reduce your chemical waste disposal costs – Pyplok® doesn’t require acid pickling and neutralizing
- Avoid costly NDT (radiography, x-ray) verification by using a simple “Go-No-Go” inspection gauge for your Pyplok® fittings
- Remove the time-consuming purging of gases or fluids procedure from your process
- Set it and forget it – properly swaged and pressure tested Pyplok® fittings will go many years before needing to be replaced
