Written by Marek Bobik | Tue, Jun 26, 2012 @ 06:33 PM

Parker's Three-Year Genuine Parts Warranty - a program for hydraulic component manufacturers.

Under the Genuine Parker Parts Program your customers receive the highest quality, most efficient fluid conveying system available, backed by Parker anywhere in the world. In the unlikely scenario of a problem with a leak, a Parker-trained technician will be dispatched to provide support anywhere it’s required.

Benefits:

Reduced assembly cost through reducing number of parts
Reduced assembly cost through faster system assembly
Optimal flow through optimal hose and tube sizing
Minimal pressure loss
Reduced leak paths
Increased system accessibility
Reduced number of connections
Increased reliability with Parker products
Improved appearance

How it Works:

Parker engineers analyze each model in your product line using the SensoControl® diagnostic system, and work with your engineers to develop the most efficient fluid conveying system. Parker engineers' industry-proven experience is invaluable to specifying the right Parker products for each application. Parker engineers assist with hose and tube line sizing to optimize flow and minimize pressure loss.

Next, Parker engineers work with your manufacturing team to plumb the prototype unit, implementing the design developed with your engineers.

Also, your assemblers will receive training in Dry Technology and will be certified by Parker.

Once Parker and your team both approve the prototype, the model is certified for production under the Genuine Parker Parts Program, and awarded a Three-Year Leak-Free Warranty.

In addition, Motion & Flow Control Products, Inc. will work with you to determine the most efficient and economical schedule for delivery of Parker components to your production line. Motion & Flow Control Products, Inc. also offers kitting, to consolidate parts required for a specific model’s assembly.

Parker’s Application Engineer consults with your engineering team to design the best fluid connector system for each model in your product line.

The Three-Year Leak-Free Warranty covers connector sealing surfaces. Hose life varies greatly with each application. However, the Parker engineered system analysis will increase hose life due to improved routing schemes, hose selection, and elimination of potential problem areas. For that reason, Parker is able to offer a one-year hose assembly warranty.
