Enerpac’s new 26mm Chain Cutter is the lighter, single-acting, and smaller version of the 32mm (ECC32B). The capacity of this Chain Cutter makes it ideal for cutting 1/2″ chain for lifting, rugging, transport, marine and manufacturing applications.
The performance of heavy equipment and machinery is dependent on the reliability of every component. Whether in the factory or out in the field, the failure of a single mechanical element means downtime for repair or replacement. If the fix requires connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines under pressure—and without fluid loss—rendering the machine operational presents unique challenges. The solution? Screw-to-connect quick couplings.

“I’m excited to meet with customers and provide application support.” Dave Tunney, Electromechanical Product Manager said. “We have one of the newest additions to our product line, Techman Collaborative Robots, on display to show attendees how safe, efficient and easy they are to operate. Many of our customers are turning to these automated solutions in a time when social distancing is more important than ever.”

Other products that will be on display include Parker Transair; an advanced air, inert gas and vacuum aluminum piping system, SKF Lubrication systems and the company’s Engineered Rubber & Plastics line.
“Customers are no longer interested in traditional black carbon pipe systems and I’m excited to discuss the benefits of aluminum air pipe with roadshow attendees.” Mike Chapman, Business Unit Manager said. “In addition to labor savings and reduced energy costs, Transair Aluminum Air Pipe is available with Parker’s exclusive “Voice of the Machine. This allows customers to wirelessly monitor pressure, humidity, temperature & flow through remote monitoring sensors.”
