Heavy-Duty Oil

Filtration Systems

Twin Disc, Incorporated, Racine,

Wis., has announced new single and dual heavy-duty oil filtration systems that are compatible ac- cessories for use in many types of hydraulic systems as well as with Twin Disc Power-Shift

Transmissions and Twin Disc Ma- rine Transmissions. Twin Disc recommends these medium pres- sure oil filtration systems to en- sure proper performance and long component life. They are avail- able in 30 or 60-gpm capacities, with 25-micron (nominal) filter elements.

Twin Disc Oil Filters for hy- draulic oil, lubricating oil and diesel fuel can be integral or re- mote mounted. The filter systems are easily installed in the field, or can be specified when order- ing new transmissions. For opti- mum efficiency, Twin Disc Model

MA-678 or MA-679 differential pressure gauges are recommended to indicate when the easily re- placeable filter element should be changed.

Approved Twin Disc Renewal

Parts including filters, filter ele- ments and differential pressure gauges are available from the worldwide network of Twin Disc

Authorized Distributors. For more information on Twin Disc's new line of oil filtration systems, re- quest bulletin 600 from Jack N.

Eight-Page Brochure

Describes National's

Fully Hydraulic Cranes

National Supply's line of fully hydraulic cranes for offshore op- erations is described in a new eight-page brochure. The three models covered—OS-105, OS-215, and OS-435—offer maximum API load ratings, respectively, of 85,- 900 pounds, 126,000 pounds, and 170,500 pounds. All feature Na- tional's innovative variable pres- sure hydraulic system for opti- mum operator control and crane safety. Boom hoist, main hoist, and fast line hoist and swing have separate hydrostatic circuits so three functions (swing, boom hoist and main line on whip line hoist) can be operated simultane- ously with no loss in speed and power. Unique hydraulic power- down provision allows control over heaviest loads without assistance from the friction brake, saving unnecessary component wear. The brochure contains five pages of charts and tables giving dimen- sions, capacities and performance specifications for each of the three crane sizes.
