This position paper of the VDMA Fluid Power Association applies to the use of mechanical seals (GLRD) in compressors subject to the ATEX directive and is intended to support compressor manufacturers in the use of GLRD.
More than 70 fluid power experts worked on ISO/TC 131, Fluid Power Systems standardization projects in Milwaukee (USA) in October 2023.
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) are currently polarizing opinion. The EU has come out in favor of a blanket ban on around 10,000 chemicals in this group of substances. At first glance, a well-intentioned approach to protecting the environment, but the announcement puts important industries at risk.
The Fluid Power Association is an industry-related service provider for more than 220 member companies, all of them manufacturers in the field of hydraulics, pneumatics and sealing technology.
The brochure "Innovative Sealing Technology" provides an overview of VDMA activities in this field and contains a manufacturer's reference for fluid seals, gasket plates/flat gaskets and mechanical seals.
