Meeting the challenges of vacuum holding applications

Vacuum technology is commonly used to hold objects in place for processing or positioning. Vacuum table, vacuum conveyor and vacuum pick-and-place operations are examples of this type of application. In most vacuum holding applications, flow rate and pressure vary significantly during start-up and when disruptions occur in the manufacturing process. While some vacuum applications are Read More

How to Determine the Revision number of your Equilibar regulator

Look at the part number listed on the regulator’s label
In general, the number right before the first “dash” is the revision number
For all models EXCEPT the GS Series, follow this table:
- Box 1 – model name (LF, H6P, FDO, etc)
- Box 2 – inlet/outlet port size
- Box 3 – body material
- Box 4 – inlet/outlet port thread type
- Box 5 – body “trim”
- Box 6 – Revision number (may be a single number or a number/letter combination)
To find the revision number of the GS model, follow the table below. Boxes 1-4 serve the same purpose as above.
- Box 5 - has the body “trim” and the revision number. The trim is a letter. Revision number may be a single number or a number/letter combination.
