PVX vane pumps approved for water glycol to 2,500 psi Continental Hydraulics announced that its PVX vane pumps are now ďŹ re-resistant, as they are approved for water glycol to 2,500 psi. Water glycol uids have proven to be an excellent ďŹ reresistant hydraulic uid option. This should open up new markets like food processing, steel manufacturing, automotive assembly or and other industries that typically use water glycol uids. The PVX variable-volume, pressure-compensated design is suitable to many industrial applications. These ďŹ eld-proven, highly durable pumps provide long life and quiet operation resulting from the use of heavy duty forged, one-piece rotors and hydrodynamic bearings and pressure balanced side plates.

New oil level indicator The ELESA ATEX line has been recently enlarged with the new HFTX-EX oil level indicator in a transparent technopolymer with an anodized aluminum star-shaped contrast screen. It is characterized by a magnifying lens with a particular shape to increase and improve visibility, even from side positions. Other products in the ELESA ATEX line include plugs, breather caps, oil level sight glasses, and oil level indicators. These products are designed for applications in potentially explosive atmospheres in pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical systems. They comply with health and safety requirements according to the new 2014/34/UE ATEX European Directive (explosive atmospheres) for equipment in Group II, category 2GD.
MCR8T radial piston motor
Bosch Rexroth is expanding its range of direct drives for compact tracked loaders (CTL) and other tracked vehicles with the new MCR-T radial piston motor in frame size 8. The MCR8T represents the latest development in direct drive CTL track motor technology. Using the next generation of rotary group design, it delivers a step change in power density and durability. The new rotary group design oers up to 55% increase in maximum torque, enhanced durability, and a 20% increase in ow capability compared with the existing and dimensionally similar frame size 6. The new design complements the MCR-T family, which is currently oered in frame sizes 5, 6, and 10. The compact dimensions, which are identical to MCR6T in all but a 10% increase in overall length, means that the motor is well-suited for installation in compact loader tracks.
