Besides its 74 percent fewer emissions, the Strato-Charged engine is 34 percent more fuel efficient than traditional two-cycle engines. It also weighs 5 percent less, which is key when the engine is powering a chain-saw on the end of a pole that''s nearly eight feet long.Red Max''s power pole saw carries the company''s one-year commercial warranty, and an optional two-year warranty is available. IN THE INDUSTRIAL gases sector, Praxair Inc. saw a modest gain in profits while Air Products and Chemicals Inc.''s earnings fell on weakness in chemicals. Air Products plans to restructure its operations with asset sales, plant closures and job cuts.Air Products posted a 13 percent decline in adjusted fiscal third quarter profits to $123 million (55 cents per share) on 19 percent higher sales of $1.63 billion. The results exclude a charge of $96.6 million for asset disposals, facility closures and accruals for severance and pension benefits. 2. Automatic slack adjusters (ASA). A self adjusting slack adjuster is a ratchet wrench built 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications into a manual slack adjuster. The ratchet drive rotates slightly during either a brake application or during brake release 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications depending upon the design. When brakes are in proper adjustment, the ratchet decouples. As the lining wears, or as the drum expands, the ratchet drive continue to adjust to 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications combat the additional stroke length.There are two design approaches to brake sensing. One method 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications senses clearance or load sensing and adjusts at the early part of the brake application. The second method senses stroke and adjusts at the end of the brake release stroke. ASAs are mandatory on all new air-brake equipped tractors and trailers in the US.3. Antilock Braking Systems. ABS systems are designed to prevent tractor jackknifing or trailer sluing. Electromagnetic sensors, mounted on wheel ends or inside the axles, sense wheel rotational speed. An electronic control unit (ECU) monitors the information from all the sensors and compares the wheel speeds. As the vehicle decelerates, the ECU senses when any wheel is decelerating too rapidly, indicating that 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications the wheel is approaching lockup. When this happens, the ECU sends a signal to solenoid valves that reduce air pressure in the brake chamber. When the wheel deceleration rate changes, air pressure is restored. The 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications sequence occurs in microseconds. End result is smooth stopping of semi-combination vehicles in a straight line. ABS is now mandated on all new tractors and trailers built in the US. Steam generators might have commanded an unimpressive 1-2% of the market''s volume for the year ending November 2001, but they 1050hydraulicpumpspecifications grew in value by 70-80% so that they now represent 6% of the market''s worth. And, in the three months leading up to November 2001 alone, sales increased by 29% (volume) and 44% (value), according to one manufacturer. The total market for irons is now worth an annual 115 million [pounds sterling], accounting for four-and-a-half million units.SNAGPrice has so far been the greatest snag in makers'' intentions to flood the market with steam generators. Punters who might have paid 30 [pounds sterling] for their previous iron, will find it hard parting company with 150 [pounds sterling] for a new one, unless of course it is revolutionary.
