Fluid Power
Fluid power is, quite simply, the use of liquids or gases to control apparatuses that push, pull, lift, rotate, or grip loads. It is used for tough tasks such as boring tunnels or gentle operations like lifting and stacking glass sheets. While industrial and everyday applications alike embrace this technology, it cannot function reliably without high-quality components. The demands placed on fluid power systems are constantly changing as the industry seeks greater efficiency and speed at higher operating temperatures and pressures.
Optimize your fluid power application with automatic screw machined & cold headed/formed products, and fasteners from Abbott Interfast LLC.

Unique Demands of Fluid Power
The flow of fluids and gases is typically under compression and any pressure loss or leakage can degrade performance and is a potential threat to employees and the surrounding environment. These issues can lead to expensive recalls, negative customer feedback, and diminished profit margins. Our patented sealing nut, the HydraLok™ can solve the problem.
This nut calls for easy application, requires no surface preparation, gives complete metal to metal bearing surfaces, and saves installation time, solving the leakage issue at the threaded joint. The nut is impervious to solvents/acids and is reusable.
