Hydraulic accessory range extended

An 'extended' specification range of hydraulic accessories includes plugs and dipsticks, as well as dome-shaped level indicators.

Elesa (UK) have a knack of producing just the right standard parts for wide ranges of industrial applications. Their new 'extended' specification hydraulic accessories fully confirm this point. New additions are plugs and dipsticks, as well as dome-shaped level indicators which compliment recently introduced high pressure/high temperature level indicators, a rapid mounting kit for column level indicators and a set of blanking plugs/filler plugs with dipstick.

Column level indicators now include the HCZ lens effect units at especially competitive prices for oil/fluid tank fitment, with the HCZ/T which also incorporates an integral thermometer to monitor the working range - maximum 90 deg C.

Two sizes are available - 76mm and 127mm mounting centres.

For the HCX and HCX/T (thermometer) range there is now a quick fit mounting kit which allows fully external fitment - only requiring two holes in the side of the tank.

HCX series come with mounting centres of 76mm, 127mm and 254mm to suit most hydraulic reservoir requirements.

For those difficult high pressure reservoirs Elesa now offer the HGFT oil level window capable of withstanding up to 3 Bar.

Where high temperature is also a consideration then the HGFT.HT.PR will withstand both 140 deg C and up to 7 Bar tank pressure.

This is especially important in high back-pressure systems such as those with high reflow.

High grade plastics technology using polyamide technopolymer viton seals ensures the extended performance of these standard components.

Elesa also offer TN series low cost blanking plugs for those high volume, low cost applications, such as transmission gearboxes on industrial machinery and equipment such as conveyors.

Their range of working temperature, up to 130 deg C with peaks to 180 deg C and low cost/ex-stock supply, makes them an attractive alternative to steel or brass.

Thread styles of BSP and metric are shared with the TCD oil fill plugs, which have a moulded-in symbol for oil fill identification and can have a custom specified dipstick.
