ETP Transmission says its ETP-TECHNO is a hydraulic connection with exceedingly high precision and a pressurising mechanism that is designed for at least 1,000 mountings and dismantlers.

With a rigid design, the ETP-TECHNO connection consists of a double walled hardened steel sleeve filled with a pressure medium and a flange. The flange also contains the pressure screw and piston with a dual sealing function - an O-ring including a backup ring and a steel ball. Due to its precision, ETP-TECNO is ideal for applications where fast frequent changes or adjustments are required. Another advantage of the hydraulic connection is the quick assembly - you can mount ETP with just one screw.

“ETP-TECHNO is a premium product. When compared to conventional solutions it’s the best alternative, especially if you are short of space. This hydraulic connection has extremely good concentricity and is frequently used in precision gears and test benches,” says Peter Kremsl, application engineer at ETP Transmission AB.  

Applications and uses of the ETP-TECHNO

Coventry Engineering is a UK-based engineering firm specialising in the manufacture of bespoke tooling solutions. It has been using couplings and hydraulic connection components from ETP Transmission since 2012.

Paul Pickering, operations director at Coventry Engineering Group, explains: “ETP gives us exactly what we need to fulfil our contracts with our customers. For example, if an unmanned machine has an automatic tool selection function, where it picks a tool out of its carousel and carries on working, it needs to have automation and alignment built into it. Historically that gave us a problem with our standard attachments, but these components from ETP give us increased flexibility by providing 360 degree rotation of our output position relative to where it needs to fit on the machine. For us, it has been the missing piece of the jigsaw that allows us to meet any customer brief.”
