Couplings for braking systems, ISO 5676 interchange

In the spirit of EIMA, one of the most important agricultural exhibition, we would like to highlight an important product in AG connections: VF, a flat face couplings designed to connect the braking circuit of trailers to the hydraulic circuit of agricultural machines - ISO 5676 interchange. VF is also available in special versions equipped with an additional safety sleeve (VFS) or with a hydraulic lock (VFB) to prevent accidental disconnections.

More than 70% of hydraulic breakdowns can be attributed to particulate contamination in the hydraulic fluid. A new hydraulic system runs at full pressure, load and speed, but over time contamination can cause wear and cracks at critical component surfaces and the system’s efficiency deteriorates long before any failures occur. With typical component clearances down to 0,5 microns it does not take much to block an orifice or to reduce, constrict or stop the flow of media, thereby preventing the proper operation of a hydraulic application.

EZ-View variable area flowmeters from Hedland are rugged, low-cost direct reading meters for flow measurement of oil, water and other fluids. They can be installed easily in any orientation without sacrificing measurement performance.

Constructed of high impact PPSU, the range offers excellent structural integrity and chemical compatibility with a wide range of industrial chemicals and allows instant, direct flow rate measurement of liquids in closed piping systems.

PVVM couplings have been designed by Faster in order to be used at high pressure ensuring, in the same time, a very high safety level to the user.

They are very consolidated products and have been created many years ago for heavy duty service when it is necessary to withstand very high static pressure on hydraulic jacks, rams, clamping devices hand tools and cylinders.
