Transatlantic Connection, Inc. is a Sales and Engineering Representative of Hyprostatik Schönfeld GmbH of Göppingen, Germany. The Hyprostatik PM-Flow Controller and hydrostatic components have been implemented in over 4,000 varied types of precision machine tools and components including grinding machines, measuring machines, high-speed machines, CNC lathes, machining centers, and milling machines, as well as large bearings and spindles.

Hyprostatik can engineer a hydrostatic system to nearly any machine design requirement. A complete hydrostatic system from Hyprostatik uses the PM-Flow Controller and engineering specifications and instructions for a series of strategically placed pockets which are machined into moving surfaces of the machine by the machine builder. Variables such as pocket surface area, oil viscosity, pump pressure, and flow control are taken into account when designing for a defined gap size, load capacity and stiffness requirement.

The oil used in the hydrostatic system is the same oil that is used in the hydraulic system on the machine. Very little oil is used in the hydrostatic system, and a collection system designed into the machine re-circulates the small amount of accumulating oil through an oil filtration system. The PM-Flow Controller maintains a steady-state oil pressure in the hydrostatic pathways necessary to support a load, regardless of grinding or cutting stress, the weight of a workpiece, or its location.
