Deschner Corporation is ceasing operations. We can help you replace your Kinechek® Speed Regulator.
Deschner Corporation has announced it will cease operations at the end of the year, and the production of its well-known Kinechek® hydraulic speed regulators will come to a close. For manufacturers, OEMs, and maintenance teams who rely on these components for motion control, this presents a supply continuity challenge you may be trying to solve.
Now is the time to plan your changeover.
Sugino’s Hydro-Speed Regulators offer a compatible, long-term solution designed to keep your operations running smoothly.
What This Means for Kinechek® Users
With the units no longer available in the foreseeable future, current customers may face challenges including limited inventory and increased lead times, no future production or factory support, and higher risk of machine downtime due to part obsolescence.
As a result, facilities that wait too long may face costly delays, retrofits, or redesigns. Planning ahead ensures continuity and avoids disruption.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Hydraulic Speed Regulator
Replacement isn’t just about finding a similar part; it’s about ensuring performance, durability, compatibility, and long-term support. Therefore, it’s a good idea to consider items like:
- Stroke length and damping characteristics
- Load capacity
- Mounting compatibility
- Availability of replacement parts/inventory and ongoing support
It’s easy to request a phone call or email to get help cross-referencing your current Kinechek® model. If there’s a compatible solution, we’ll recommend an option for the right fit and function.
