Real World Reliability requires constant communication through technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT). To meet these requirements, Versa is promoting field-proven Diagnostic Feedback Options. The same tried-andtrue valves Versa had always offered are now available, with the addition of key modular components, with the added
capability of intelligence through the use of strategic sensors.
In combination with our extensive valve options and the ever-expanding
IIoT technologies, these developments offer users endless opportunities to
engineer intelligent systems. Our Remote Sensor Port (-20) option is one of
these options. When a spool valve’s solenoid is energized, it lifts a poppet
to allow air pressure to the piston, providing the force to shift the valve.
Simultaneously, a 1/8” NPT port, connected to the pilot
chamber, receives pressure. This port can be fitted with
pressure sensors of various kinds for a wealth of diagnostic
feedback information focused on the solenoid operation

Canfield’s GT GATORRMATE SERIES
The Canfield Connector’s GT Gatormate Series consists of our 2 Pin and 3PIN, injection molded, Deutsch Type Connectors.
The connectors are over-molded to enhance connection performance and ensure that high stress or vibration will not cause unintentional disconnection.
Enidine’s HERM (High Energy Rope Mounts)
Enidine developed the HERM (High Energy Rope Mount) Isolator for NAVY cabinet isolation and rafted deck systems. They have successfully passed barge testing and reduced shock inputs to levels compatible with COTS equipment.
The HERM mount is an effective vibration isolation systems solution for cabinets, platforms, rafts, cradles, canisters, and shipping containers requiring a shock, vibration, and structure-borne noise isolator.
In addition to electronic cabinets, the HERM can successfully be used on other vibration isolation systems offering protection for radar systems, weapons, and vehicles. Any application needing vibration isolation systems offering protection over a wide deck frequency range could benefit from this highly engineered product.
Supply Chain Shortage & What To Expect
Supply chain issues are not anything new, but COVID-19 can be credited for the drastic change the global economy finds itself in today.
Many industries rely on the global supply chain to connect companies to their suppliers so they can turn the materials into the products they sell. Every part of the world has been affected differently by the pandemic as we are all recovering at different rates. The supply chain shortage erupted in early 2020 due to the COVID outbreak along with an increase in consumer demand. The backlog, closing of factories, labor issues, and equipment shortages all combined to be deemed the supply chain crisis which is still affecting everyone today.
6 Common Causes of Hydraulics Overheating
Overheating is a frequent problem within hydraulic systems that may be determined by specific components. This internal problem lies within the pump and causes a hydraulic system to overheat in the following ways:
Contaminated Hydraulic Fluid is a common cause for a Hydraulic system to overheat. This can occur when the container is not sealed properly which causes dust, dirt, debris, or moisture to contaminate the fluid. With hydraulic systems running at higher pressures and more efficiently than ever before, it is important to monitor the cleanliness of one’s hydraulic fluid. Reducing contamination can decrease damage and will allow one to get the most out of their equipment.

Humphrey’s Balanced Solenoid Valves
The Humphrey Balanced Solenoid Valve family of 3- and 4-port direct acting valves now includes IP67 rated, environmentally protected models. Through extensive testing, Humphrey has certified IP67 models to withstand dust ingress completely, and submersion in water to a depth of one meter over 30 minutes. IP67 models are available with DIN electrical entry and without an override. Humphrey DIN connector HS2-CLL is suitable for IP67 protection as well.
Versa’s Transitional Reliability Packages
Our quality lab finds the #1 cause of failure to be ingress of debris and moisture. Ingress is an especially frustrating problem because it’s inevitable. When foreign material enters a valve body or solenoid, it clogs up internal moving parts and causes them to stick.
This is particularly a problem for applications with long periods between cycling, giving foreign materials more time to build-up.
To fight the problem, Versa offers rugged, high-flow valves capable of handling debris. However, in toughest applications, customers need more than the basics to assure valves shift when called upon.
