LAMMA 2016

Join P & R at Lamma 2016

Being held as usual at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, on Wednesday 20 – Thursday 21 January 2016, the 2016 show promises to be the biggest and best yet!

As ever, P & R Hydraulics will be in attendance and you can find us in Hall 4, stand 498. Why not pop over, say hello and put faces to names?

Our Technical Director Justin Gill will be there with Colin Filby, Internal Sales Engineer. This will be Colin’s first time at LAMMA, so he’s genuinely looking forward to meeting people and putting faces to names of existing contacts of his. Additionally, James Roberts, Technical Sales Manager at Hy-Pro will be there to discuss their products and help us with technical enquiries.

It’s likely we will be focussing on products from Danfoss, Turolla and Hy-Pro; we will also be showing the new Webtec VFD190 flow-control valve.

Merry Christmas

Parker Commercial D Line Valve Block repair

Spools (pitted)

A customer brought in a Parker Commercial D Line 8 section valve block, off a rig mounted offshore crane, for repair.

The valve block was dismantled, all parts cleaned and inspected. The spools were found to be pitted and the mounting lug on the outlet cover was damaged. The customer wanted only genuine Parker Commercial parts to be used for the repair. So our engineer ordered worksections (spools), relief valves and outlet cover from USA on a 14 week lead time (unfortunately these parts are not available in the UK).

The customer needed a quick fix on the valve block until the genuine parts were received. So our engineer resealed, reassembled and tested it before returning to the customer.

Please contact us on 01603 424880 for more information on our repairs.

Coloured cable ties

Ingenious use for coloured cable ties!

A 10 bank spool valve was brought into our workshop for inspection. Prior to removing the valve coloured cable ties were fitted to all inlets and outlets of the valve and machinery. The colour cable ties will greatly assist with the refitting of the valve.

P & R Hydraulics offers a full product repair service. Our on-site workshop and maintenance facility includes a test rig which allows our experienced team to rapidly diagnose any product faults and failures.

Internal Part (worn)

A Danfoss OMSW 200 hydraulic motor (model 151F5065-2) was brought to us for inspection.  Our engineer dismantled the unit and cleaned all the parts.  The internal parts were found to be badly worn.  This was communicated to our customer, who instructed for the unit to be resealed only.  The hydraulic motor was resealed, reassembled and tested.

Spool Valve with rotary lever - Hy-Pro

A customer needed a Hy-Pro V5 spool valve with a rotary lever and as it is for a maritime application it has been assembled using a marinised worksection (corrosion resistant).

The Hy-Pro V5 rotary lever has been developed to enable the operator precise control of motors and cylinders.  The lever swings through an 130° arc and works by means of a scroll which converts the rotary action of the lever into axial movement of the spool.  The centring mechanism has a friction detent feature which positively holds the spool in neutral then maintains the selected position.

Application

Used extensively in the forestry and fishing industry to control the speed of conveyors and winches.

Features

• 130° movement
• Compact design
• Spool options
• Detent in neutral
• Friction hold
• Robust mechanism
• Toughened components
• Cast iron body and scroll
