Miniature Shock Absorbers from ACE are tried-and-tested quality products used in millions of industrial designs throughout the world. They optimize machines in an equally reliable and effective way by decelerating loads quickly and without recoil.
Lincoln’s model 1550 fuel transfer pump quickly delivers diesel, kerosene or mineral spirits from both mobile and stationary tanks. Its durable cast-iron housing, long-life, low-friction valves, special seal design, UL-listed motor and stainless steel outlet adapter provide reliability in even the harshest environments.
Moving Parts on your machinery & equipment require proper lubrication to maximize up-time and ensure long life. We will be hosting an Industrial Lubrication Practices Webinar on Thursday, March 28th at 11:00am to review several lubrication concepts and the available equipment needed to provide the right amount of lubrication.
In this webinar we will also cover:
- How much lubrication is the right amount?
- Series progressive divider valve concepts
- Injector-based metering
- Pump systems for injector-based & series progressive application
Transair’s lightweight components and quick-connect interlocking design allow for easy and immediate layout modifications and require no need to thread, solder, or glue pipe. In this course, we will cover how to properly size your system, the differences between aluminum and black pipe and potential cost savings.

Gore GR Sheet Gasketing is designed to outperform both conventional (filled and skived) PTFE and other ePTFE gasketing in steel piping and equipment. It has the chemical resistance of conventional PTFE sheet gasketing without the creek and cold flow commonly associated with that material. Gore GR Sheet Gasketing is stronger and has more dimensional stability than other ePTFE gaskets. It is highly conformable to rough or irregular sealing surfaces and compresses into an extremely tough gasket that creates a tight, long-lasting seal.
Machine designers are increasingly turning to gearheads to take advantage of the latest advances in servo motor technology. Essentially, a gearhead converts high-speed, low-torque energy into low-speed, high-torque output. A servo motor provides highly accurate positioning of its output shaft. When these two devices are paired with on another, they enhance each other’s strengths, providing controlled motion that is precise, robust and reliable.
