1/8 NPT No Drip Internal Mix Air Atomizing Spray Nozzles
EXAIR's new 1/8 NPT no drip internal mix air atomizing spray nozzles mix liquid and air inside the nozzle and produce a fine atomization of liquids. The new, patented no drip internal mix air atomizing spray nozzles work in the same way the company's standard atomizing nozzles do, but have the added benefit of positively stopping liquid flow when compressed air is shut off.

DIT 716 Series Diamond Dressing Tool
Many years ago, the Super 716 Series diamond tool was made for dressing large and wide precision grinding wheels on centerless, cylindrical and surface precision grinding machines. They were made to minimize glazing and the closing up of the wheel surface. They were also made to carry the large wheel without taper or the crushing of the bond. It worked better than any other grit or impregnated dressing tool.

AquaTec 7655 Coolant

AquaTec 7655 Coolant
oelheld has been on the forefront of lubricant innovations for over 130 years. The company's R&D team in cooperation with machine manufacturers, universities and customers know exactly what to expect from water-miscible coolants and their challenges. Water-miscible coolants have many advantages over their straight oil counterparts, but they also have some well-known disadvantages such as corrosion (machines and parts), lubricity (tool life) and sump life (fungi, bacteria). This has been the motivation for the R&D department to break new ground and develop new products that guarantee that most of these disadvantages are a thing of the past. These expectations, special requirements and problems have been taken care of as a result of this extensive R&D work, which resulted in the development of the AquaTec 7655 coolant.
