Railway locomotives depend on multiple redundant braking systems to stop safely under all operational conditions — loaded and unloaded, in all weather, at all speeds. The E-70 braking system is used on a range of locomotive types where hydraulic and…
Every hydraulic hose assembly — from a 6mm bore brake line to a 50mm bore industrial hose — carries pressurised fluid under conditions that could result in personnel injury and equipment damage if it fails. Proof pressure testing, burst pressure…
Metallic tubes are the arteries of hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and process systems in aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, and nuclear applications. They carry fluids at pressures from tens of bar to hundreds of bar, through temperature cycles from cryogenic…
A hydraulic power pack and actuator system is the core infrastructure of any hydraulic test facility, simulation system, or high-force actuation application. Where simple fixed-displacement power units suffice for many industrial applications, precision test and simulation applications — structural testing,…
Every new hydraulic system, every hydraulic system after maintenance, and every hydraulic system after component replacement contains contamination. Weld slag from fabricated pipework, pipe scale from carbon steel tubing, machining swarf from component manufacture, assembly debris, and atmospheric dust introduced…
High-power rotating test facilities — used for cyclic fatigue testing of gearboxes, transmission components, shaft assemblies, and rotating machinery — place extreme demands on their lubrication systems. At 1000 HP (approximately 746 kW) and high rotational speeds, bearing and gear…
Oil-injected rotary screw compressors are the dominant technology in industrial compressed air supply — reliable, efficient, and capable of continuous duty operation. Their performance and longevity depend critically on the lubricating oil circulated through the compression chamber: injected to cool…
Modern aircraft and many defence vehicles depend on hydraulic systems for safety-critical functions — flight control surfaces, landing gear, weapon system actuation, braking. The consequences of total hydraulic failure in these applications are severe enough that designs incorporate redundant, independent…
Valves — directional control, pressure relief, check, and proportional types — are among the most widely used components across hydraulic and pneumatic systems in every industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defence sector. Each valve type has distinct performance requirements, and a…
From a compact automotive solenoid valve to a large pneumatic actuator on a railway braking system, every pressurised pneumatic component in production must be verified leak-tight before it leaves the factory. A high pressure leak testing machine is a fully…
