Strainer fittings protect key components in piping systems from damage. Elesa+Ganter has now incorporated these important standard elements into its range of long-life stainless steel versions.

Even the smallest foreign bodies in piping systems can cause serious malfunctions, because they damage or destroy components such as pumps, valves, sliders or other technically complex units. It goes without saying that such incidents result in high costs due to downtime, repairs or replacements.

Simple, but effective, and above all long-lasting assistance is provided by the GN 7405 strainer fittings from Elesa+Ganter. Standard elements are simply installed into the piping system as upstream or downstream protective devices, the integrated stainless steel filters with mesh sizes of 100 µm or 500 µm stop any foreign bodies from entering before these problems arise.

Both parts of the strainer fittings housing are held together by a union nut and then sealed with an O-ring made of high grade NBR. Currently Elesa+Ganter offers its protective filters in three sizes with ⅜ , ½ and ¾ inch thread connectors, each in two versions: one with two- sided female thread and one with a combination of female and male threads, which are especially suitable for retrofits.

The union nut principle makes installation easier and facilitates cleaning or replacement of the integrated filter for maintenance. The stainless steel filter insert for GN 7403.1 can be purchased separately either as a spare part or for fitting in installation spaces produced specifically according to diagrams.

The filter surround made of fiber-reinforced polyamide creates a tight transition to the O-ring and therefore to the installation location. As well as this, the filters are ideal for a wide range of media, including gas. Elesa+Ganter states flow rates for water and HPL 46 hydraulic oil.

GN 7405 strainer fittings can be fitted with special connector threads, for example, allowing them to be customized, just like the majority of standard elements from Elesa+Ganter.

Elesa+Ganter is further on its way to increasingly customised standard machine elements. Our so called service standards save the customer time and money with options for machining and other modifications. Customer specific modifications can simply be ordered in addition to the required component.

Oil dipsticks, with varying level markings and lengths are just one example of this. Until recently customer specific modifications were up to customers themselves now you can order precisely fitting dipsticks as a service. The newly-developed GN109 service standard allows the customer to order pre-made oil dipsticks with individual markings and lengths meaning they can be incorporated into the assembly process without any alterations.

Handwheels, cranks or shifting hubs are mounted in the radial or axial position by means of a cross pin or a set screw. As their positioning is highly specific the operating components have no cross hole as standard. Before assembly they must be made individually which may cause relatively high costs. With the service standard GN110 there is no need for this modification. Cross holes, one-sided, through holes or with threads are made at E+G’s factory with precision and cost effectiveness. A dimensional grid makes additional construction drawings unnecessary.

The GN 110.1 service standard also pertains to cross holes relating however to universal joint shafts and universal joints. This standard defines the position of the cross holes / the cross thread with reference to the hub key slot the square bore of the universal joints. It allows the quick and efficient machining of bore holes in the Elesa+Ganter service centre.

Handle components can now also be individually fitted with loss protection, for example the service standard GN111.7 combines star knobs with key rings, ball chains or retaining cables.
Elesa+Ganter finishes the handle component with a suitable recess in which the key ring can be inserted permanently without removability.

Service standards allow E+G to take on the time consuming modification of standard machine components for the customer without the need for intricate special equipment. In short service standards offer you new benefits because they make the slogan “ready-to-use“ a reality.
