For contract testing and research companies, every customer need is unique and it helps to have a wide range of test facilities on hand.  Phoenix Materials Testing, based in the West Midlands were designing and manufacturing a small force dynamic load frame adaptable for high temperature testing for small components and materials. The bench top hydraulic load frame was fitted with Star Hydraulics series 200 miniature servo valve and has proved a valuable addition to Phoenix’s extensive range of test frames.

GDS Instruments designs, develops and manufactures materials testing machines and software used for the computer-controlled testing of soils and rocks.

GDS Instruments have chosen Star Hydraulics series 550 servo valves for their dynamic controllers, which maintain a constant cell and back pressure during large strain cyclic testing.

Star Hydraulics are also used for their cost effective and fast repair service when required.

Star Hydraulics servo valves are used in some very demanding environments where reliability and durability are important both to keep equipment running and to minimise downtime when repair or maintenance is required.

Clansman Dynamics, a long term customer of Star Hydraulics, with our headquarters in East Kilbride Scotland, are known for our foundry and forge solutions, and use servo valves for precise and reliable motion control of the foundry machines.  Clansman have the experience and tools to maximise the life of our products and we are proud that Star Hydraulics have played a key part in the development of the product line over the years.

Fox-VPS are well known for their ranges of hydraulic test actuators that are used in a wide range of durability and fatigue testing applications globally. Coupled with associated products such as safety manifolds and mounting attachments, together with their design capabilities and extensive experience, Fox-VPS have proven expertise in many demanding test regimes. They have recently selected the Star Hydraulics 902 series high flow servo valve for integration into an undercarriage systems rig for a major European aircraft manufacturer.
