Climate control systems for the residential sector
October 1, 2017The Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems Laboratory (LABSON UPC) colaborated with EPIDOR Seals and Rubber Technology to develop a test bench for evaluating models of seals for hydraulic actuators. The bench can be used for comparative testing and validation of the performance of variosu seal configurations, designs and materials under different working conditions. Consequently, it helps to optimise the process of developing new products or improving existing ones.
EPIDOR Seals and Rubber Technology is a leading company in the distribution and manufacture of industrial services that specialises in a wide range of high-quality mechanical engineering components, particulary in the areas of seals and vibration insulation. The comapny has the knowladge and experience needed to meet original equipment manufacturer OEM and maintenance, repair and operations MRO.
