About Parker Hannifin

Parker Hannifin Corporation was founded in 1917 by Arthur Parker in Cleveland, Ohio, starting out as a pneumatic brake manufacturer. Through acquisition and organic growth it became the world’s largest manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, with operations in more than 50 countries and a product line that spans the full range of hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, filtration and fluid control components and systems.

In the UK industrial maintenance and hydraulics market, Parker is best known for its hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, hoses and adaptors. Its JIC, BSP and metric fitting systems are the standard specification in UK industrial hydraulics, and the Parker fitting catalogue covers the fittings, adaptors and hose assemblies needed for almost any hydraulic circuit, whether you are building one from scratch or repairing it. The Parflex and GlobalCore hydraulic hose ranges cover the pressure ratings and flexibility you need, from standard fixed-plant hydraulics through to high-flex mobile equipment.

Parker’s pneumatic range, sold under the Parker and Schrader-Bellows brands, covers pneumatic cylinders, directional control valves, FRL (filter, regulator, lubricator) units, quick exhaust valves and pneumatic fittings for compressed air systems in manufacturing and process industry. These components are widely specified in industrial automation and machine building, where the breadth and availability of the range make it easy to source every pneumatic circuit component through a single manufacturer relationship.

Products We Can Supply from Parker Hannifin

Hydraulic hose, GlobalCore and Parflex series — Parker GlobalCore hydraulic hose in the 722TC, 787TC and 797TC series at working pressures from 210 bar to 420 bar for industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits, plus Parflex thermoplastic hose for compact, lightweight assemblies in mobile equipment and machine tool applications. These are available in standard SAE and metric end configurations and cut to length for custom hose assembly.

Hydraulic fittings and adaptors — Parker JIC (37° flare), BSP (parallel and taper), metric and SAE O-ring face seal fittings in steel, stainless steel and brass for connecting hydraulic hose to manifolds, cylinders, pumps, motors and valves, together with Parker adaptors for converting between fitting types and thread forms during assembly and repair. The Parker fitting range covers virtually all connection requirements in UK industrial hydraulics.

Pneumatic fittings and push-in connectors — Parker push-in fittings (the CPC and Legris series) for connecting pneumatic tubing to equipment, valves and cylinders, plus Parker pneumatic speed controllers, check valves and flow control valves for circuit control. They come in metric and imperial tube OD, in nickel-plated brass and stainless steel for clean-room and corrosive environments, and are used in pneumatic automation and compressed air distribution throughout industrial manufacturing.

Hydraulic filters and fluid control — Parker hydraulic return line, pressure line and offline filters for keeping hydraulic fluid clean in industrial and mobile systems, filter elements across the Parker UFI and Finite filter ranges, and Parker fluid control valves including proportional valves, pressure reducing valves and flow control valves. Hydraulic filter maintenance is a critical preventive task, since contaminated fluid is the main cause of hydraulic component failures.

Industries

Parker Hannifin products are used in industrial machinery and manufacturing, mobile and construction equipment, oil and gas production, offshore and marine, aerospace and defence, agricultural machinery, process plant and chemical engineering, steel and mining, power generation, and any application requiring hydraulic, pneumatic or fluid control components of specified quality and traceable manufacturing standards.
