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.
