Hall-effect transducers ensure consistent crop rows
When the planting season begins, farmers will plant different crops at different row widths, requiring the sprayers to match the row width by running wheels between the plants and not over them. In the past, this was a time-consuming task, as users would have to jack up one wheel of a tractor/sprayer, loosen its hub […]
Load-holding valves ensure safety in mobile equipment
Load holding valves from Valvole America are available in a very wide range of cartridges or assembled into valve blocks. They secure the last commanded position of an actuator by preventing fluid from escaping work chambers, with “zero” leakage. They ensure low leakage when closed, with less than 5 drops/min when the valve closed with […]
