BILSOM has improved its popular Viking series of noise-blocking earmuffs, incorporating patented air-flow control technology (AFC) and delivering optimal attenuation across all frequencies without increasing earcup size or weight. Multi-position headbands give workers the flexibility to wear their earmuffs over the head, behind the head, or under the chin, allowing them to be worn with hard hats, face shields, respirators, and other PPE. The dual-headband design with inner ventilated band is for better positioning and breatheability. The non-deforming outer headband minimizes pressure on the head. The improved attached elastic headband strap provides additional comfort, helping to ensure attenuation when earmuffs are work in other over-the-head positions.

Jet Impingement Furnace
SECO/WARWICK's jet heating furnace for heat-treating aluminum was awarded a patent in February. The design is centered on a production furnace that looks and operates like a conventional mass-flow convection furnace, but has the heating rate, heating rate uniformity, and temperature uniformity for short cycle solutions. The fan design and implementation of jet impingement heat transfer improves the heating rate. Development will continue on uniformity of heating rate in a conventional mass flow.

Three-Axis Pneumatic Lift
LPI LIFT SYSTEMS' new three-axis pneumatic lift is designed for use in harsh-duty environments, such as blasting media. The compact unit size occupies minimal floor space and provides a sturdy platform with a lift capacity of 350 lbs. The LP5B is equipped with self-closing gates and convenient controls. The lift positioning hand controls the Z-axis up and down; the Y-axis controls the extension and retraction of the platform; and the X-axis controls the left and right movements.

Powerwash Cleaner
CORTEC's VpCl-417 Powerwash Cleaner cleans and protects machined forgings in one step, using its advanced green chemistry. Specially designed as a low-temperature, low-foam cleaner, its heavy-duty cleaning and degreasing action removes machining lubricants, hydrocarbon soils, buffing compound, and metal filings from finished parts by rinsing away and leaving no residual films, particles, or chips. The special corrosion inhibitors protect parts for up to three months. The built-in corrosion inhibitor eliminates a separate set of processing tanks for corrosion protection applications.

Biostable Polymer Quenchant for Steel Alloys
HOUGHTON INTERNATIONAL's Aqua-Quench 245 is specifically-formulated for induction hardening and immersion quenching of high-hardenablility steel alloys and other applications that require a slower heat extraction rate. Aqua-Quench 245 is a polyalkylene glycol-based polymer quenchant formulated to be resistant to microbial degradation (when contaminated pre-heat treatment processing fluids are carried on parts into the quench tank), extending the life of the fluid. It doesn't leave a deposit on quenched parts or cause a sticky buildup on equipment and contains a nitride-free corrosion inhibitor that protects inductors, limit switches, quench tanks, pipes, and fittings.

Toroidal Rolling Bearings
SKF's Carb toroidal roller bearings serve as non-locating bearings in large electric motors (125 hp+), accommodate heavy radial loads, and compensate for misalignment. Suitable for both coupled and belted loads, they are self-aligning and can adjust for axial expansion of the shaft internally. Long self-guiding rollers maximize load capacity. Carb bearings come in a variety of sizes and are available with seals and optional cages.
