Directional Control Valves
Eaton solenoid-operated directional control valves with pressure reducing stack modules eject parts at fixed velocity and pressure. They direct controlled flow to the die-height control motor to adjust die height. The valves’ soft-shift feature provides smoother control of actuator acceleration and deceleration than is achievable with conventional solenoid valves. The result is minimum hydraulic shock, more reliable systems with longer component life, and less downtime.
Gerotor/Geroler Motors
Char-Lynn low-speed, high-torque hydraulic gerotor/geroler (GG) motors deliver from 200 to 45,000 in-lbs. of torque at operating speeds up to 2,000 rpm and offer options including integrated brakes, 2-speed operation, and speed sensors. The screw-drive motors are protected by a housing that rides on linear rail supports, providing smooth, low-friction travel for improved wear performance.
Slip-In Cartridge Valves
The Hydraulic Feedback Valvistor® (HFV) range of slip-in cartridge valves uses a self-regulating hydraulic design for the control of flow rate by a current-controlled PWM signal. The design achieves servo-type control of the main poppet without using an electrical feedback transducer. With its simplicity, cost effectiveness, and performance level, the HFV range can be applied in almost all applications—from high performance industrial areas such as injection molding to applications requiring only proportional functionality.
Proportional Directional Valves
Vickers specially designed injection PQ valves (D05, D07, D08, and D10) provide precise control of injection velocity, smooth transition from velocity to pressure control, and back pressure control that is highly repeatable to produce parts with tight dimensional accuracy and high quality. The valves are pre-wired with ruggedly constructed onboard electronics. Factory-set adjustments, including gain, spool dead-band compensation, and offset, ensure high valve-to-valve reproducibility.
Hose & Fittings
Eaton offers a wide variety of low-, medium-, and high-pressure braided hose and fittings for all types of injection molding machines. Eaton spiral hose is designed to meet the most demanding applications, providing maximum durability and long-lasting performance.
Open-Circuit Piston Pumps
Output of Eaton's 420 two-stage pumps is matched to the volume of oil required by the selected speed, thereby eliminating wasted energy. The 420 pump’s AC servo motor is more energy efficient than PQ pumps by aligning with energy requirements during the work cycle of injection molding machines. The flow of the pump is controlled by electronically selecting one of two pump displacements that are preset by mechanical stops and controlling the speed of the servo motor.
Eaton is in the details.
More Demanding than Ever
The pressures to deliver tangible results faster and more efficiently are driving demand for new simplified processes.
Eaton never stops thinking about smart options for your manufacturing challenges. That's how we delivered our 420 Series piston pump. Efficiency of pump controls allows downsizing of system cooling needs, facilitating the use of a smaller and less expensive design. What can we solve for you?
