Delta-Q’s new 3-in-1 mid-power charging system, the XV3300, has now entered into production.





Hallite Introduces New Seal and Bearing Products

Hallite has announced plans to introduce three new products at IFPE 2023 which include a range of prcision bearings and two sealing solutions. The new 565 precision bearings are designed to provide dimensional stability and radial accuracy. As such, the bearings will help to reduce radial displacement, improve seal effectiveness and extend lifespans.


The 565 bearings are available in sustainable materials such as advanced polymers and renewably sourced nylons; they will also be available in reinforced POM for applications that operate in water-based fluids.

Also to be introduced at IFPE is the new 777 piston seal which was actually introduced at the 2017 edition of the show. Two new features have been added, upon customer request — an expanded imperial size range for use in more applications and additional material options, including those which are more cost effective.

This double-acting piston seal is designed for use in high-temperature and high-pressure applications. It fits most standard grooves and delivers low operating friction as well as strong abrasion resistance.

The third new product Hallite will debut is the 683 low friction rod seal, an asymmetric single lip rod seal designed with precision trimmed sealing lips for dry sealing in light- and medium-duty applications. Hallite said this product is designed to help lower fuel consumption and emissions as well as minimize oil losses.

Watch our video interview with Hallite to learn how industry trends like sustainability are helping drive current and future technology developments.

Hallite can be found at booth #S82240.

The 683 rod seal is designed to perform across a wide range of temperatures and speed/length of stroke.





Norrhydro Exhibiting Digital Solutions

Norrhydro, a developer of hydraulic cylinders, intends to showcase its developments in digital solutions for the fluid power market at IFPE. Included in the company's digital portfolio are the NorrDigi digital hydraulic system and the Motiomox by Norrhydro, an electromechanical actuator.


The company's NorrDigi solution has been developed in collaboration with the University of Tampere and Volvo Construction Equipment. It features an intelligent digital control system to optimize hydraulic cylinder movements, ensuring the right force and speed are applied to minimize energy use. The NorrDigi system stores energy in accumulators which directly drive four-chamber hydraulic cylinders explained the company in its pre-IFPE press release. This helps to enable energy to be recaptured in the accumulators during idle movements.

By reducing energy used by the hydraulic cylinders, the NorrDigi system can help the machines into which it is integrated reduce its energy use, leading to fuel savings and lower emissions.

The Motiomax products are energy-efficiency solutions which can aid with electrification. They consist of electromechanical cylinders paired with high-quality gearboxes and heavy load ball screws. The energy-efficient design provides precise movements and high forces in applications which require such features.

Norrhydro will showcase these products, as well as host live events throughout the week explaining the benefits of its technology at its booth #S82053.
