 Parker
Launches Universal Push-to-Connect Hose and Tube Assembly
Designed for Speedy, Leak-Free Connections
Three divisions of Parker, the global leader in motion and
control technologies, have developed a Universal Push-to-Connect
(UPTC) assembly that provides fast and efficient, leak-free
connections for compact fluid power systems in industrial,
mobile and construction equipment. The new assembly is a
collaboration between Parker’s Tube Fittings, Hose Products and
Parflex divisions.
Utilizing Parker’s Seal-Lok™ O-ring face seal (ORFS) adapter or
EO metric bite-type fittings, the patent-pending UPTC system is
suitable for rigid inch and metric tubing, hydraulic hose and
thermoplastic hose assemblies involving tube-hose, tube-port and
hose-port connections. Unlike other push-to-connect couplings
that require changeovers to new male- and female-end fitting
designs, Parker’s UPTC innovative male geometry allows easy
substitution on any existing Parker Seal-Lok or EO fitting
system. UPTC is especially advantageous during assembly where
simply pushing the hose or tube into the adapter creates a
leak-free connection. This speedy connection creates immediate
cost savings in assembly time along with reductions in warranty
and rework claims due to improper assembly.
UPTC consists of a base Seal-Lok (ORFS) or EO metric bite-type
fitting, a factory assembled UPTC nut with its internal sealing
and retaining elements, a dust O-ring and a UPTC hose assembly
or rigid tube. The UPTC nut is assembled to the base ORFS or
metric bite-type fitting at the factory to ensure proper torque
is applied. Once fully engaged, the retaining element is
positively trapped between the male and the UPTC nut. It cannot
escape, even under vibration and extremely high pressure.
Visual and tactile install indicators on the nut and fitting
signify full engagement and a complete connection. The assembly
can be disconnected by using a wrench to loosen the nut,
exposing a standard connector end. If the hose is damaged, the
UPTC assembly can be replaced with a standard ORFS hose
assembly. No special connector is required for field repair, but
the option of replacing the damaged assembly with a new Parker
UPTC connection is still available.
UPTC Features:
• Compatible with any existing Parker Seal-Lok or EO fitting
system
• Compatible with rigid inch and metric tubing (adapted by
changing the braze sleeve), hydraulic hose and thermoplastic
hose assemblies
• Substantial time and cost savings due to elimination of
wrenching/torquing
• Faster, easier assemblies, particularly in tight
spaces—reduces errors, rework and warranty claims
• Assemblies can be disconnected with a standard wrench
• UPTC technology is available in straights, 45° and 90° elbows,
tees and crosses in sizes 1/4" to 1" for ORFS fittings including
the most common jump sizes, and 8 mm to 25 mm for metric
bite-type fittings
• Connects to most standard port technologies, such as SAE
straight thread port (SAE J1926), ISO 6149 port, pipe, and more

 We
Call It a “Lift Valve” You Can Call It a Real Convenience!
What It Is . . .
This Lift Valve combines four functions in one body.
It’s a Relief Valve, a Check Valve, a Flow Control Valve, and a
Solenoid Directional Control Valve – all integrated into a
complete circuit!
Builders of Lift Machinery or machinery otherwise operating a
Single-Acting Cylinder find this valve particularly useful.
How It Works . . .
Pressurized oil will flow directly to the cylinder in the
Normally Closed version to extend it. (The relief valve protects
the system from over-pressurization.) When the solenoid is
actuated, oil from the pump and cylinder is routed to tank,
allowing the single-acting cylinder to retract at the speed set
by the meter-out flow control valve. De-activating the solenoid
will again extend the cylinder.
The Normally Open circuit works in reverse, with the cylinder
extending when the solenoid is actuated, and retracting when
de-actuated.
Specifications . . .
This useful valve handles flows to 5.3 GPM and pressures to
3,000 PSI. Check out the rest of the features on the catalog

 Eaton’s
Hydraulics Operations' Re-Designed 420 Series Pumps Feature
Hydro-Mechanical Torque Control And Low-Noise Operation
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. …Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton
Corporation has added a hydro-mechanical torque control option
and several performance upgrades to its successful 420 Series
product line. The new 420 HM pumps with hydro-mechanical torque
control are intended for moderate-flow, high-pressure mobile
applications on vehicles such as compact wheel loaders,
telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, telescopic booms,
sweepers, backhoe
loaders, and garbage trucks.
With a maximum pressure rating of 280 bar, 420 Series pumps
offer outstanding power density delivering up to 118 hp at 3,000
rpm. Standard control options include pressure
compensation and load sensing pressure and flow compensation.
The new power/torque control works in parallel with the standard
compensator using a
special mechanism to replace the control piston. The effect is
to limit power consumption by
the pump while providing maximum flow at a pressure equal to the
desired power level. The
system provides maximum pressure at reduced flow, and avoids a
corner horsepower point.
420 Series pumps have been extensively re-engineered to reduce
noise levels (76 dBA at
1,800 rpm and 207 bar) while improving reliability and operating
efficiency. The compensator
has been changed to reduce an infrequent system-induced noise.
The housing has been extensively re-designed to decrease
airborne noise while allowing
more options than the previous configuration. A case to inlet
check valve has been added to
improve cold weather operation and limit case pressure spikes to
protect seals and the
rotating group. As a result, 420 Series pumps have fewer parts,
fewer bolts, and fewer leak
joints than previous models, and use highly reliable O-ring
seals throughout.
Eaton’s Hydraulics Operations is a business segment of Eaton’s
Fluid Power Group. The
business is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and
marketing of a comprehensive
line of reliable, high-efficiency hydraulic systems and
components for use in mobile and

 Sensata
Introduces a New Pressure Sensor for Construction Equipment
Hydraulic Systems
New “Ruggedized” 8PP3 Pressure Sensor is much more tolerant to
the
high-torque stress of field repair and mechanical impact
Sensata Technologies (www.sensata.com) will introduce a new
“rugged” version of their 8PP3 Silicon MEMS Strain Gage pressure
sensor at the International Fluid Power Exposition 2008. Shown
for the first time at IFPE and designed for use on construction
and earth-moving equipment operating in harsh work-site
environments, the new 8PP3 sensor features a redesigned and
strengthened hex mounting feature that enables quick, easy and
damage-free installation during onsite equipment assembly or
field repairs.
When hydraulic arms and joints operating on cranes, extensions,
lifts, buckets or shovels are not performing properly, checking
the pressure sensor on a hydraulic line is often the first
troubleshooting step. “Frequently sensors are damaged in the
field by the use of open ended wrenches that don’t have the
benefit of torque limiters” said Gregg Pestana, Sensata
Construction Equipment Market Segment Manager. “Our new 8PP3 has
a significantly strengthened case that is extremely robust with
respect to open-end wrench installation and removal”.
The hydraulics on construction equipment require pressure
sensors that operate at pressure levels as high as 20,000 psi.
Sensata’s 8PP3 silicon MEMS pressure sensor has an operating
pressure of up to 30,000 psi and is an important component in
the construction industry’s trend towards more efficient
electro-hydraulic operated machinery. In these systems, pressure
sensors -- mounted at the hydraulic manifold -- monitor the
fluid pressure and load on each line and provide input for
advanced on-board equipment electro-hydraulic controls.
The 8PP3 sensor features a one-piece stainless steel port that
requires no internal fluid seals and is available in a variety
of threaded connection styles. Built-in self-diagnostic
capabilities can interface directly with equipment control
systems.
Sensata Technologies’ pressure sensors and switches are used in
a wide range of applications and are available in a variety of
fittings, packaging materials, pressure ratings and electrical
inputs/outputs. For more information about the company or their
full line of technologies for the construction, agriculture,

 New
VG35EH Open-Center Directional Control Valve from Parker
VG35EH Open-Center Directional Control Valve Features
Electrohydraulic Operation, Allowing Users to Take Machine
Control to the Next Level
Parker, the global leader in motion and control technologies,
has added electrohydraulic functionality to its popular VG35
mobile hydraulic valve.
The new VG35EH open-center directional control valve features a
global solenoid (pwm) that can be used for proportional or
on/off control. A pilot-generating /regulating section
positioned adjacent to the inlet– the utility section –
generates and regulates pilot pressure in an open-center
circuit. An outlet can accept an external regulated signal,
providing an option when the utility section is not required.
The valve’s work sections are rated to 275 Bar (4000 PSI) and
come in 4-way/3- position and 3-way/3-position.
The new electrohydraulic offering optimizes machine control with
these benefits:
• The pressure required to move the spools is generated and
regulated internally, eliminating the need for any in-line
devices and the associated plumbing, which saves on installation
costs.
• There is no impact on open-center pressure drops when the main
spools are in neutral because pressure generation is “triggered”
to activate only when a spool is selected. This yields less heat
generation and reduces fuel consumption.
• No impact on loop pressure drops – P-A/B and A/B-T – maximizes
horsepower utilization.
• The utility section maintains pilot pressure to the solenoids
with over-running loads, ensuring that productivity is not
adversely affected during pump over-demand condition.
• A dedicated solenoid drain to the reservoir optimizes solenoid
performance, translating into consistent metering and machine
controllability.
• The pressure generating/regulating section has a selective
“solenoid dump” option. In the normal position, the de-energized
solenoid routes the regulated signal to the reservoir. To
operate the main control valve, the solenoid must be energized.
This provides “selective” operation of the VG35 control valve.

 Innas
presents a powerful, efficient and clean hybrid hydraulic
transmission
At the International Exposition for Power Transmission (IFPE
2008), March 11-15, 2008, Innas and NOAX will introduce the ‘Hydrid',
a hydraulic serial hybrid drive train in principle designed for
passenger cars, but also applicable in off-road equipment. With
this new design, the fuel consumption of a vehicle can be more
than halved and a CO2 reduction of 50 % can be realised, without
having to compromise on weight, size, traction or top speed.
We want our cars to be strong and fast. This requires large and
powerful engines. The maximum performance of the engine is
however seldom needed, and most of the time –while driving in
the city or cruising on the highway– the engine is running at
low loads. The high average fuel consumption of passenger cars
is largely due to the low efficiency of combustion engines at
these low loads. The Hydrid allows the engine to operate in its
most efficient point reducing fuel consumption of a vehicle with
50%.
In a Hydrid, the complete mechanical drive train of a car is
replaced by a full hydrostatic transmission, allowing energy
recuperation and an efficient engine operation. The concept
requires extremely efficient hydrostatic pumps, motors and
transformers, based on the so-called Floating Cup principle,
which have been developed recently.
The enabling Floating cup technology will be shown at the IFPE,
in the Innas-NOAX booth nr. S-14738 (South Hall, second floor).
Here you will see the Floating Cup technology, inlcuding the new
variable Floating Cup pump.
Presentations
At the IFPE congress, Peter Achten of Innas will be giving a
lecture explaining the Hydraulic hybrid drive train. This
presentation will take place on Thursday, March 13 at 1:30 PM.
It is scheduled for in the Hybrid Systems session. Earlier that
day, Georges Vael of Innas is giving a lecture about the Innas
Flexible Seat Valve in the Hydraulic Valves session, at 10:00
AM.
