Flexible Arrangement of Cylinder Cooling Lines Create Space for Supply Lines
The HEM miniature hydraulics from INCOE Corp. widens the choice of possible gating points and creates enough space for supply lines.
INCOE Corp. offers a valve gate cylinder that it describes as both powerful and highly compact. The HEM miniature hydraulics widens the choice of possible gating points and creates enough space for supply lines—not just because of the smaller dimensions, but because the outlets for the cooling lines can be arranged in four different directions.
INCOE says that operation and maintenance are very reliable and simple. The new patented and improved thermal separation of distributors and cylinders prevents the hydraulic oil from reaching critically high temperatures. This helps protect moving parts and seals and means that cooling down is not required once production work is complete. If it is required, the cylinder can be removed without removing the cooling lines.
