Pneumatics or Hydraulics Both pneumatics and hydraulics are applications of fluid power. Pneumatics uses an easily compressible gas such as air or a suitable pure gas—while hydraulics uses relatively incompressible liquid media such as oil. Most industrial pneumatic applications use pressures of about 80 to 100 psi. Hydraulics applications commonly use from 1,000 to 5,000 psi but […]

Shore Hardness or Durometer is one of several measures of the hardness of a material. Hardness may be defined as a material’s resistance to permanent indentation. The durometer scale was defined by Albert Ferdinand Shore who developed a device to measure Shore hardness in the 1920s. The term durometer is often used to refer to the measurement as […]
O-Ring Material Issues. Recently, we shared the three most common O-Ring design flaws. By identifying potential problems like insufficient gland volume, high tolerance levels and over compression, engineers can resolve potential O-Ring issues before they happen. Choosing the proper material is as crucial to the success of an O-Ring as the design. Key questions must be […]
