The Hope Group companies are specialists in designing, fabricating, installing and maintaining motion control systems and components to meet its customer’s special manufacturing requirements. The equipment that moves today’s industry is more reliable and highly-engineered than ever before. That’s why The Hope Group relies on Parker’s engineered sealing solutions to keep pace with the tighter tolerances, higher temperatures and tougher chemicals found in the modern machine.

Total inPHorm Software
An important benefit that The Hope Group brings to its customers is the application of the Parker Total inPHorm software, which brings seal design and material specification directly to its customer’s desktops. The software, which consists of standalone packages for hydraulic and pneumatic sealing, static face sealing, standard composite seal products, EMI shielding and thermal management, uses a simple interface to guide customers through the design of application-specific glands and seals.

Total inPHorm automatically cross-references thousands of part numbers and recommends materials based on the requirements of SAE, MIL and other standards. Total inPHorm also contains a complete array of online reference materials, including test reports, technical bulletins and seal maintenance instructions.
