The real heart of the Fluid Power Technology Conference is the content provided in the many seminar sessions or "talks" given from the FPTC stage.  At our MSOE event last week, we were very privileged to have lots of great content presented. On Tuesday, the first day of the actual conference, Ryan Kay of CEJN Industrial Corporation gave he usual excellent presentation titled Solutions for Multiple Hydraulic Connections ... "Ready, Set, Connect."  In his talk, Ryan discussed how multi-couplers can add value to the equipment/attachment manufactures and their end customers.  Thanks Ryan! Kicking off the sessions from the fieldhouse stage was Thomas Frolich of Freudenberg who talked about the Development of an Innovative Diaphragm Accumulator Design and Assembly Process.   They have developed a new concept for the manufacture of diaphragm accumulators. We thank Thomas for his presentation to our FPTC audience last week.  These two talks combined wit...

We have many great presentations scheduled for the stages of the Fluid Power Technology Conference scheduled for May 15-16 in Milwaukee at the Milwaukee School of Engineering.  I will be previewing some of these informative sessions in the coming weeks.  Here is the first: Choosing the Right Quick Connect Coupling for Your Application Many times, the attributes of a quick connect coupling is overlooked when incorporating it into a hydraulic, pneumatic or fluid system design. In order to avoid changing the dynamics of your system performance and safety, selecting the optimal quick connect couplings critical. It is imperative to pay attention to coupling fundamentals like size, pressures, flows and pressure drops. CEJN, a manufacturer of quick connect coupling solutions, will illustrate key practices in choosing the right coupling for the right application, ultimately optimizing system safety, efficiency and performance. Register today to attend this very importan...

This phrase has been used a lot, especially by me.  But it does a good job of describing our Hose Assembly Tips website and e-newsletter , and how these communication vehicles work to deliver useful and interesting content about hose assemblies to our qualified audience. For all manufacturers of hydraulic hose, pneumatic tubing, fittings, quick-acting couplings, hose wraps, crimpers, hose cutters, and all related products, please send us your press releases and success stories to post on our website .  Since this website was launched in 2014, it has grown in visitors and page views because of the content found there. For all users of the above products, feel free also to send us case studies of how your company applied these components in unique and interesting ways.  All of this content will then get picked up in our monthly Hose Assembly Tips e-newsletter. I invite everyone with an interest in hose assemblies to sign up for our e-newsletter at this ...

In any fluid power system, hydraulic or pneumatic, making solid connections in the lines that carry the fluid is very important.  Whether it is hydraulic fluid or air, preventing leakage and making connection access simple is essential to safe and efficient operation of machinery.  With that in mind, we created our website and e-newsletter titled Hose Assembly Tips Designers, maintenance professionals, and machine operators have a lot to consider when selecting the right hose, fitting, assembly, crimper, hose material, quick couplings, or any of the conductors that carry fluid.  If your company has tips on how to do it best, please share them with our audience by sending your information to me at mference@wtwhmedia.com . Our audience needs to know about your success stories and product innovations.  Share your tips with them by having your photos and descriptions posted on Hose Assembly Tips . Above is sample post from Hose Assembly Tips, for more ...
