Manuli Hydraulics | manuli-hydraulics.com

Hydrostatic drives are a widely used method of powertransmission, due to their fast response times and easeof speed regulation. Anaconda is the first hose by ManuliHydraulics which has been purpose designed to meet thespecific challenges presented by hydrostatic drive systems.

Hydrostatic drives often require short lengths of hosein tight routing conditions, such as the undercarriages ofconstruction and mining vehicles. This configuration canprove problematic, as shorter lengths of hose tend torequire a much higher bending force than longer lengthsof the same hose, making them difficult to install incompact environments.

Anaconda has been designed to alleviate thiscomplication with a reduced bending force to suit difficultundercarriage applications. It also has a very low minimumbend radius which exceeds the standard requirements,making routing easier and reducing the risk of kinks evenin these constricted conditions.

C.Matic | www.cmatic.it

The electronic flow control valve from C.Matic includes a circuit board, dc motor, tiny gearbox, and a needle valve. The PCB reads an electric input signal, processes it, and directs the servoactuator to move the needle valve inside an orifice. The unit ensures linear flow rate changes that are proportional to electrical inputs. One version has a built-in non-return valve that regulates air flow in one direction and permits free passage in the opposite direction. The valve self-compensates for hysteresis and has a resolution of 0.05% f.s. and repeatability of ±0.025% f.s. Maximum flow at 6 bar (and 1 bar differential) ranges from 425 to 1,300 Nl/min.
