HYDRAULIC FILTER SYSTEM
The OXiStop from Hydac is a new tank solution for hydraulic systems with a
hydraulically driven degassing and dewatering unit. It incorporates an integrated
membrane to prevent direct contact with ambient air. The membrane keeps fl uid
"vacuum packed" with a low gas and water content. The membrane's closed sys-
tem also allows the unit to be installed in extremely dusty or humid environments.
Increased oil service life is possible due to 80 percent less oxygen content and
reduced contaminant ingression. Other benefi ts include decreased oil volume and
reduced noise.

GREASE TESTER
The Hydraulic Grease Press from Albers Engineering allows users to determine
the amount of solid particles contaminating a grease. Using the test apparatus, a
certain amount of grease is pressed through a fi ne sieve. Particles contaminating
the grease are retained in the sieve and are subject to further analysis. The method
used conforms to DIN standard 51813 and is applicable to greases not containing
any solid lubricants. Different sample volumes and sieves are available.

OIL LEVEL GAUGE
The 1100 Series Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) from SOR provides a visual indica-
tion of the fl uid level within a machine. Once the MLI is mounted to the machine,
liquid fl ows freely up and down within the MLI chamber. A specially designed fl oat
inside the chamber contains a magnet that interacts with the indicator assembly
on the outside of the chamber. This magnetic coupling allows the process level to
be shown via the use of rotating fl ags. As the level rises and falls, the fl ags change
color to provide real-time indication of the liquid level within the machine.

ULTRASONIC DETECTOR
UE Systems' new Ultraprobe 401 Digital Grease Caddy Pro (UP401) offers the abil-
ity to trend data and identify the amount of lubricant applied in order to optimize
equipment maintenance. By translating inaudible ultrasonic bearing sounds to an
audible noise heard by the inspector and indicated on the display panel, the UP401
enables users to determine precisely the right amount of lubricant. To use the
device, operators only need to watch the digital display while applying lubricant.
Once the decibel level drops to the baseline, the job is complete.
