Safety guidelines for high-pressure hydraulics
Handling high-pressure hydraulics is serious business. It often involves working in confined spaces, lifting heavy machine parts or dealing with weather extremes in remote locations. This has led to a demand for smaller and lighter tools to simplify tasks. But that necessitates higher pressure to generate sufficient force or torque. To make engineers and maintenance […]
Miniature quick disconnects provide leak-free operation
Ken Korane • Contributing Editor The QDM3 connector from Beswick Engineering, Greenland, N.H., is said to be the world’s smallest dry-break quick disconnect. The ultra-miniature QDM3 consists of mating internal and external ends that, when connected, have an overall length of 33 mm. Hex width across flats is only 6.4 mm. The quick disconnects are […]
Ultra-miniature threaded dry-break quick disconnect minimizes dead volume between internal and external ends
The ultra-miniature Beswick M3 threaded dry-break quick disconnect is precisely manufactured from corrosion resistant stainless steel and is rated to 500 psig when connected. Buna-N is the standard seal material. Viton and EPDM are optional and can handle many types of fluids. Other elastomers are available upon request. The dry-break, also referred to as “no-spill” (however […]
