perma FLEX is a single-point lubrication system that is used in a variety of applications and industries. Ingress protection to IP 68 level guarantees reliable lubrication in extremely dusty and moist environments. It can be used for inside or outside applications in temperatures ranging from -4 °F to 140 °F and the discharge period can be adjusted even after activation.
Many of the products that we use each day rely on automation for production. The machines behind these products are technologically advanced and require multiple electromechanical components to maintain accuracy, quality and high-volume output.
One of the key components found within these machines is the electric servo motors designed to deliver superior speed, position and torque control in a powerful, compact package. In this blog, Parker covers the basics of servo motor technology and covers the motor products that help machine builders achieve their required levels of performance.
80/20 T-Slot Aluminum Framing is a construction system you can use to build virtually anything. The aluminum profiles, or bars, can be mixed and matched to create any customized solution or innovation. It weighs and costs less than steel and requires no welding!

In industrial environments, holding a component in place is rarely as simple as stopping movement. Machines vibrate, loads shift, and operators interact with equipment in ways that introduce constant, variable forces. In these conditions, a rigid locking system can actually work against long-term performance by transferring shock directly into surrounding structures. Elastic locking offers a more practical solution by holding position while still managing the energy created by real-world operation. Learn more here.
The PCH Network Portal offers decentralized Inputs/Outputs and IO-Link master ports opening the door to optimized machine architecture and new levels of configurability, all while connecting to the 5 sizes of H Series ISO valves.
Parker’s I-Force family of linear motors is ideal when you need smooth, precise motion with zero cogging. These motors have a lightweight, ironless design, which means there’s no magnetic pull or drag—making them perfect for cleanrooms, robotics, or applications that require very fine movement.
Key Benefits:
• Smooth, quiet, and accurate motion
• Compact and lightweight design
• Excellent for precision positioning
