Fluid Power Force Conversion: StabiliZR®'s Advantage For Fluid Power
FOR PRESSURE GAUGE FORCE CONVERSIONS, CUT THROUGH VIBRATIONS AND TECHNICAL RED TAPE WITH STABILIZR®️AND WINTERS' NETWORK OF AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRES
In the fluid power sector, the challenge
of getting accurate pressure readings extends beyond just navigating
high-vibration environments. Converting pressure gauge dial faces from
units like psi to force measurements are an additionally significant
hurdle.
Most
stock pressure gauges do not display units of measurement in force, and
those in the fluid power sector often find themselves turning to a
small, specialized aftermarket industry to make such alterations.
These
conversions involve much more than cosmetic changes to a dial face.
They require professional engineering expertise to ensure installation
assessments and calculations are performed both correctly and
accurately. These conversions require contractors with a deep knowledge
of pressure gauges and the fluid power industry in general, and who also
offer a high level of aftercare.
On top of these requirements, the gauge chosen for force conversion must be able to give reliable readings despite high vibrations in the environment.
Cut Through Vibration And Technical Red Tape With StabiliZR® And Winters' Authorized Service Centres
Winters' StabiliZR®️ gauges and network of Authorized Service Centres are the perfect solution to these unique challenges.
StabiliZR®️
gauges take a novel approach to gauge design. First, a dampening
silicone is applied directly to the pointer movement only as opposed to
the complete case, greatly reducing the required quantity and the
resulting overall weight. Second, the silicone is contained in a sealed
chamber which avoids its evaporation and maintains lubrication to the
pointer movement for the life of the gauge.
The
result is a gauge that can withstand significant vibrations and extreme
low temperatures without the risks of leak that come with liquid filled
gauges. All while giving the same stabilizing results as liquid-filled
gauges.
Hydraulic presses are just one example of where StabiliZR®️ gauges
can be used in the fluid power sector. Their high-vibration
environments make easy viewing of force measurements otherwise difficult
without a gauge that appropriately dampens pointer flutter.
To
ensure consistent and high-quality performance, StabiliZR®️ gauges are
submitted to severe cycle and high temperature testing with tremendous
results. After thousands of cycles and multiple hours of being exposed
to high heat, the performance of the dampening movement remained optimal
and the accuracy as specified.
This
technology has since been extremely well received in the fluid power
industry, and has proven extremely reliable in even the toughest of
applications.
As
the proud OEM behind the StabiliZR®️ line, Winters Instruments has also
been proudly providing force conversion services to the fluid power
industry for many years through our network of Winters Authorized Service Centres on several continents.
Winters
provides the engineering expertise required for intricate force
conversions to customers located anywhere in the world. For added peace
of mind, all Winters products and services come with a five-year limited
manufacturer’s warranty.
