Parker Offers Literature

On New General Purpose

Packless, Bellows Valves

Parker Hannifin Corporation, In- strumentation Valves Division of

Jacksonville, Ala., is offering free literature on % - and V2 -inch general purpose packless, bellows valves that are used in a wide range of applications requiring clean and safe service operation in the han- dling of high-purity gas or liquids in both vacuum and high-pressure sys- tems. They are available in either manual or air-operated models.

Air-operated bellows valves are used in applications where a com- pact valve with remote actuation capability is required. Parker air- operated bellows valves are avail- able in three operating modes: nor- mally open, normally closed, or dou- ble acting.

Manually operated bellows valves offer a choice of stem tips: Kel-F® for soft seat positive shut-off, or all metal 316 stainless steel for elevated temperatures. Color-coded handles are available. Both manual and air- operated valves have smooth inter- nal surface finishes to ensure clean service operation, externally pres- surized bellows for increased strength and stability, positive stem retraction and no sliding stem seals.

UPDATE

S.P. Radio Introduces New Low-Cost,

High-Quality Compact Radiotelephone —Free Literature Offered—

S.P. Radio A/S has just intro- duced a new VHF radiotelephone for the marine industry called the

Sailor RT2048.

The VHF Sailor RT2048 is a sim- plex/semi-duplex station for ship- to-ship/ship-to-shore communica- tion. It is equipped with all 55 inter- national maritime VHF channels,

U.S. channels, 10 private channels, scanning facilities, quick channel 16, dual watch, 25-watt output pow- er, and built-in seacall as an op- tion.

Due to the unique construction of its transmitter and heat sink, the

RT2048 is able to operate with a continuous output power of 25 watts on all possible channels in the fre- quency range 154.40-163.75 MHz.

The unit also offers a choice of 30 additional private channels or scan- ning facilities.

The Sailor RT2048 is prepared for connection to 12V DC or 24V DC (by means of a Sailor N420 Power

Supply). The set has an extremely low power consumption. In the standby mode, the power consump- tion is less than 0.1 a.

The new compact state-of-the-art

VHF is fully transistorized and equipped with a synthesizer and mi- croprocessor. Its compact cabinet houses both transmitter, receiver and a large, powerful 6-watt loud- speaker, which reproduces the sig- nal loudly and clearly—even at great distances. Furthermore, the

The new VHF radiotelephone, the Sailor

RT2048, is a simplex/semiduplex station for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communi- cation. It will be available in March 1988. built-in audio amplifier is capable of delivering an additional 6 watts into an external loudspeaker.

And although the Sailor RT2048 is compact (height-104 mm; width- 228 mm; and depth-169 mm), it is easy to service, since the set consists of four easily replaceable modules.

This high-quality, low-priced unit is easy to operate, even in bad weather, due to a button for contin- uous turnstyle operation of squelch and AF levels. All controls are easily accessible on the front plate with pushbutton keyboard, LED display and nighttime illumination.

ZF Of North America

Introduces ZF-FPM

IRM-350 Marine Gear

ZF of North America recently an- nounced the introduction of the model IRM-350 Reverse/Reduction

Marine Transmission which com- plements the already extensive line of deep ratio, cast iron ZF transmis- sions for continuous duty applica- tions. The MPM Division of the ZF

Group manufactures and produces this model which is targeted for the commercial fish boat and work boat markets.

A continuous duty rating of up to 409 bhp at 1800 rpm is available depending upon reduction ratio.

The maximum reduction ratio is 6.45:1. Identical ratios and full pow- er capability in either output shaft rotation direction allows the use of identical marine transmissions and standard rotation diesel engines.

Transmissions are normally sup- plied with a highly elastic torsional coupling. An optional rubber block drive is available where torsional vibration is minimal and of no major significance.

The transmissions are produced with the highest precision possible, and utilize ZF/MPM designed heli- cal gears which are carburized, hardened, and ground. The units employ modulated clutches for smooth and prompt engagement.

Positive lubrication of the clutches, gears, and bearings is as- sured by the heavy-duty main pump, which utilizes a suction side filter and a discharge side filter.

Clutches and gears are easily in- spected by removal of the large inspection cover. Oil changes are more easily accomplished by offer- ing two drain plug locations on eith- er side of center. A heavy-duty bayonet-type dipstick is provided.

The compact size has been achieved through the use of ration- alized engineering techniques and

Cad-Cam computer-aided design programs.

Accessory groups are available with the IRM 350.
