Air dryers quadruple maintenance intervals in rail applications
Rugged digital hydraulic pressure gauge
This rugged digital pressure gauge GE2514A from BVA Hydraulics is extremely accurate and oers a thick rubber shell to protect against the toughest elements. More precise readings will ensure users get the job done right the ďŹ rst time. It has a 5-digit display that allows readings over 10,000 psi and zero reset feature. Connection is via a Âź-in. NPT 304 SS. It is rated for 1 million cycles and for operating temperatures of 14 to 122° F (–10 to 50° C). The user-friendly design features a simple two-button operation that allows operators to change settings quickly and eortlessly. It also has a durable rubber exterior, continuous backlight feature. The interchangeable design allows easy swapping out of one design with the new digital gauge by simply unscrewing the old and screwing in the new. Press the Power button, and you are up and running. Batteries are included.
Rugged connectors for easy conversion from DIN to Deutsch connection Patented adsorbent drying material removes humidity from compressed air systems, reduces downtime, energy, and life-cycle costs by extending maintenance schedules. These two new compressed air dryers are designed to extend maintenance intervals, minimize downtime, and reduce energy costs in rail applications, including brakes and door control. Typically, air dryers have an average service interval of fewer than two years. The Aventics RDD (Roll-Up Dessicant Drying) and RDDmin air dryers, have a service interval of eight years or 25,000 operating hours. The new products have a proprietary adsorption medium that removes humidity from compressed air systems more eďŹƒciently, reducing energy usage with a smaller envelope size and weight. The dryers´ shock- and vibration-resistant design further enhances their reliability in tough rail applications.

The newest addition to the GatorMate line of products, the 2- and 3-pin GT Series of rugged, connectors are fully molded, eliminating the need to purchase expensive crimping tools and reducing the labor required to assemble former ďŹ eld-wire versions. With the addition of the 5JGT DIN to Deutsch adapter, any solenoid valve DIN connection can easily convert to Deutsch-style connection. The rugged GT Series is an all-in-one molded connector assembly proven to work in the harshest environments with an IP67 rating resistant to dust, vibration, shock, and moisture. The connectors are over molded to enhance connection performance and ensure that high stress or vibration will not cause unintentional disconnection.
