ITT launches ECO Series line of hydraulic shock absorbers

ITT Corporation today announced that it has launched the ECO Series, a line of high-performance hydraulic shock absorbers sold under the Enidine brand name. The ECO Series products use bio-degradable fluids rather than typical hydraulic oils and are compliant with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. The ECO Series is the result of efforts by ITT to provide its global customers with a standard product that offers environmental benefits in applications ranging from packaging, to factory automation to food processing. The ECO Series is free of copper and contains no nickel or chrome plating. The products also offer enhanced corrosion and wear properties from a new Enicote™ II surface finish. The new line is designed to replace a range of Enidine’s legacy PRO and PM products while maintaining their reliability, durability and flexibility to accommodate a wide range of force and velocity applications.
