Create and supply hydraulic pressure. Choose a unit with a tank capacity about three times greater than your requirement to allow for heat dissipation. An inlet filter protects the pump from contamination.

All units include an additional NPTF threaded inlet port. NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads. UN/UNF (SAE Straight) thread connections have straight threads and are also known as O-ring Boss fittings.

Power a hydraulic cylinder from your air system to avoid the setup, cost, and mess of hydraulic fluid. These converters give you more consistent power than using air power for an air cylinder. However, because air works at a lower pressure than hydraulic fluid, your hydraulic cylinder won’t move loads at its full force. Attach these converters to an air line with a speed controller and solenoid (not included).

Note: These converters are not for use near fire.

A spring delivers a constant, low-pressure flow of grease to your lubrication point, so it never runs dry. They’re best for applications with consistent temperatures, so the viscosity of the grease won’t change how quickly it flows. However, they shouldn’t be used in precision applications because the tension of the spring may change, causing the dispensing rate to change. Mount them close to the lubrication point. They have a standard grease fitting, so you can choose what grease to use, unlike prefilled dispensers. The grease fitting helps close the system to keep out dust and contaminants in dirty environments such as mills. Use grease fitting adapters to match your lubrication point.
