CERAMIC AIR VALVES
Rexroth Ceram™ Valves are a cost-saving solution for the problem of “sticking” valves. These specialized valves utilize two ceramic plates, instead of a spool, as the moving component inside the valve. This technology has an expected life of 150 million cycles or greater without sticking, which means the air valves last for years instead of months.

On the cover ... HEATED AIR KNIVES
STANMECH has combined their two leading-edge technologies, process heat and high-velocity air, to produce inline high-capacity heaters to heat the air stream for increased drying power. Typical applications for this new technology include production situations where current air knife technology is not able to keep up with line speed, and the challenges of removing water-based or oil-based lubricants and coatings. This range of heated air knives starts at flow rates of 5600 litres per minute at 200°C up to 16,800 litres per minute at 500°C. The heated air knives can be easily integrated into most production systems or they can be set up as stand-alone stations. Each application is analyzed and a custom-engineered solution is developed.

Dynabrade’s air powered Dynascaler is a descaling and surface preparation tool ideal for heavy-duty applications. The tool powers Roto Peen Bonded Flap Assemblies for removing rust, oxide, scale, oil paint and tough coatings. Four different models are offered. Hand held tools are available in both a straight line and right angle model. The two models allow the operator to work closer to the work surface, resulting in additional control when getting into hard-to-reach areas. A floormodel Dynascaler features a 20-slot hub for Roto Peen Bonded Flaps. It features an adjustable edge guide assuring straight line descaling. An Over-Under Descaler mechanically fractures scale and coatings with negligible removal of base metal. The tool can be used for “over-under” simultaneous removal of scale from steel girder plating prior to welding. Dynabrade, Inc.

FLUORESCENT DYES
Spectroline® fluorescent dyes reveal all leaks in static and circulating water systems, boilers, storage tanks and other high-volume containers. With this leak detection method, you simply add a small amount of WD-801, WD-802 or WD803 fluorescent dye into a system and allow it to circulate. Wherever the water escapes, so does the dye, which remains at the site of all leaks. When the system is scanned with a high-intensity ultraviolet lamp, the dye glows brightly to pinpoint the precise location of every leak. The dyes are also suitable for preventive maintenance programs because they remain safely in the system and will expose new leaks whenever the system is inspected with the lamp. These dyes enable inspectors to detect leaks in seams, welds, seals and fittings of equipment before it is put into service. The dyes remain safely in the system and will expose new leaks whenever the system is inspected with the lamp. Spectroline CIRCLE NO. 59 ON READER REPLY CARD

HYTROL PUTS THE SKINNY ON BULKY CONVEYOR DIVERTERS with space-saving rodless cylinder
M
anufacturing and packaging facilities may move and sort tons of bulk on conveyors, but the sorters, diverters and pull-offs that route products to their next destination must be as trim as possible to make the most of valuable floor space. Engineers at Hytrol Conveyor Company, one of the world’s largest producers of conveyor systems, needed such a space-saving solution when designing a diverter for an overhead pull-off system that would divert 150-pound boxes to a different conveyor line. For help with their solution, they turned to Tolomatic, manufacturers of rodless-style actuators. “Our conveyors are used to move products down the line, divert them to the next station in the manufacturing process or, if a product is defective, divert them to a reject line,” says Jackie Smith, application engineer at Hytrol. “When we needed to design a diverter that was more compact and could be simply integrated into our systems, we decided that we needed to employ a different type of actuator.”
The Tolomatic BC2 actuator is located in the overhead beam in this pull-off station and operates the large triangular paddle at the right. Upon a signal from a PLC, the actuator pushes the parts box to the left conveyor line.
the actuator has to move to a large triangular paddle that pushes boxes weighing up to 150 pounds,” says Holloway. “This can create very high bending moments on the actuator’s carriage and guide bearings. The BC2’s carriage has a very robust bearing system with higher side-load capacity than other actuators in its class, resulting in greater capacity and longer life. When designing for very high bending moments, sometimes we specify dual carriages on the actuators to distribute the forces.” Depending on the application, Hytrol uses BC2 actuators with 1.5, 2.0 or 2.5-inch bores. The 2.5-inch BC2 actuator can exert forces of up to 362.8 kilograms and withstand bending moments of up to 203.7 Newton-meters, depending on carrier selection. “Tolomatic’s rodless cylinder has been a dependable component in our compact pull-off systems,” Smith says. “By offering a trim solution for crowded warehouse operations, customers keep coming back for more.” Tolomatic www.tolomatic.com

Rod cylinders vs. rodless
The traditional actuator used to operate diverters on a conveyor system is a pneumatic rod cylinder. Normally, a rod cylinder with up to a 48-inch stroke would be mounted off to the side, perpendicular to the conveyor, and operate a paddle that pushed a product off the conveyor or diverted it to a different line. However, these rod-style diverters consumed a lot of space because the cylinder extended about 48 inches beyond the width of the conveyor. When floor space is at a premium, Hytrol offers a framed overhead diverter design that uses a Tolomatic BC2 rodless actuator. The BC2 actuator’s length is the same as the conveyor’s width, and the carriage moves entirely within the length of the actuator. “The Tolomatic BC2 actuator is a space saver,” says Guy Holloway, president of Fraleigh Company, a distributor for Tolomatic that helped design the application for Hytrol. “The length of the rodless actuator is the same as the width of Hytrol’s conveyor, making it much simpler to work it into new or retrofitted diverter stations. It can be mounted over or under the conveyor, depending on the application.” A rodless band cylinder actuator contains its stroke within the length of the cylinder itself. For example, a 2-inch bore rodless band cylinder with a 48-inch stroke can provide 43 percent space savings compared to an equivalently sized rod cylinder. In addition, a rodless actuator guides and supports the load throughout the entire stroke length, so there is minimal bearing wear and load deflection compared to rod-style cylinders. As a result, bending moments are better controlled, resulting in longer wear without seal or bearing stress.

Actuator design advantages
According to Holloway, Hytrol initially looked at other types of actuators, but liked the size and performance of the rodless actuator and found it easy to mount within its pull-off design. Designed with fewer carriage bolts and an adaptive mounting system, the Tolomatic design saved Hytrol assembly time and labour. Rodless band cylinders also feature numerous design advantages over rod-style cylinders that provide dependable longlasting solutions. For example, rodless cylinders offer equal piston areas in both directions, eliminating load variations. Plus, the load and piston have a floating connection, resulting in less friction and longer seal life. “In Hytrol’s overhead diverter design,
