As promised, I wanted to pass along some more information in regards to the Purchasing Managers index. January reported another increase up to 58.4. These are great signs that things are starting to move again in manufacturing!

We’ll MROStop.com has you covered. We just uploaded over 1,100 brand new “real world” descriptions for all of our Parker JIC Tube Fittings so that you can be sure that you are getting exactly what you want. But we didn’t stop there, along with these descriptions we have given you the
entire JIC Parker Fitting catalog for download as well as a detailed picture of each fitting.
But wait…..that only helps you determine what you want. What about getting it to you in a hurry? MROStop.com has direct access to all of the Parker distribution warehouses across the US. So even if we don’t have it in any of our warehouses, chances are we can still get the product moving the same day from one of Parker’s warehouses. So remember when you are looking for industrial parts, MROStop is your last stop!
I think it goes without saying that all of us have been watching any indicators that we can in order to predict what the future may hold in store for the US manufacturing industries. As I saw this graph this morning a couple of things happened. Immediately, I felt a little sigh of relief that maybe the worst is behind us and that there are brighter days ahead. Secondly, I wanted to share it! Simply because I know that everyone doesn’t have access to this type of information and let’s be honest, we hear enough bad news at 6:00 every evening.
For anyone that isn’t familiar with the PMI (Purchasing Managers Index), it’s basically an economic indicator of how business is doing. (For a deeper understanding of what factors are involved, you can visit Purchasing Managers Index on Wikipedia) Now as you can see from the graph, an index rating of 50 is the baseline. Anything larger than 50 indicates that business is expanding. In contrast, anything lower than 50 indicates that business is slowing down.

Now this is a monthly graph over the course of the last 5 years but you can see that there were indicators even back in late 2007 & early 2008 that things were starting to change. Little did we know that in Sept. ’08 the bottom would start falling out! It took until Aug. ’09 until we saw our first sign of light on the horizon.
As we look forward, in no way are we “out of the woods” but it seems like we are starting to see signs that things are improving. So I wish you all the best and I will be glad to share anything else that I come across. Also, please feel free to share this information with your friends and colleagues and let me know your thoughts. I believe that the more input that we have the more accurately we all can see the picture. I’ll be glad to share your thoughts and comments on here as well.

Specialty Hose Capability - Parflex offers many unique specialty hoses such as electrically non-conductive, breathing air, and CNG hoses to name just a few. Let us custom design and build a solution for you.
Superior Abrasion Resistance – Urethane and nylon style covers provide the industry’s highest level of abrasion resistance today. They can outlast standard rubber hoses in lab tests by up to 10:1.
Long Continuous Lengths - Long length hoses reduce the number of short unusable hose lengths and thereby save money in the long run.
Clean Core Tubes – Unlike rubber core tubes, thermoplastic core tubes are clean when cut and greatly reduce the chance of contamination in today’s state-of-the-art hydraulic systems.
Wide Chemical Range – Thermoplastic hoses offer a superior range of chemical resistance. Tough outer covers also resist degradation by UV rays, water and harsh wash down chemicals.
Lightweight by Design – Lightweight designed equipment is routinely being requested by leading manufacturers today. Thermoplastic hoses are considerably lighter than rubber hoses (e.g. 100R8 hose can weigh up to 40% less than a comparable 100R2 hose).
Smaller OD - Compact designs allow tighter bend radius characteristics and work well in small enveloped areas.
Easy Routing - Smooth outer covers offer ease in routing multiple hoses in tight or confined areas such as booms, lifts, and tracks.
Lower Volumetric Expansion – This means less energy loss and faster reaction time in hydraulic circuits.
UV Resistant – Parflex thermoplastic hose jackets are UV stabilized for optimal weather resistance.
Long Shelf Life – Thermoplastic hoses do not continuously cure, and won’t degrade when stored under proper conditions.
Easy To Cut - Fabric reinforced hoses do not require high power saws to be cut. Simple hand or blade cutters can be used.
Crimpable, Swageable, Field Attachable – Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be assembled utilizing any of these three methods of fitting attachment for added convenience.
Bonded Components - Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be bonded together from 2 to 10 hoses, in multiple sizes and products. Similar cover materials must always be used in the bonding process.
Coiled/Retractable Capability – Many Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be coiled for retractable capability for easy, compact storage.
Bundling - Parflex offers the ability to bundle hose and tubing in a variety of combination.
Custom Printed Lines - Custom printed lines build brand identity and differentiate products for end users. Simple ink jetting provides a cost effective way to provide crisp clean text, or in some cases, logos.
Colors - Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be manufactured in almost any conceivable color. Colors can offer brand identity, color coding and traceability.

It is possible to crimp the following hoses:
85C-R01 |
85C-R02 |
|
This series achieves high precision and fast response that exceeds the performance of conventional general-purpose inverters. They can be used in specialized applications such as line control and elevators. By incorporating our original all-digital vector control, high starting torque and high speed response have been made possible for both velocity and torque control modes.
