When should you use on/off valves?
Contributed by Josh Cosford Although any “bang-bang” valve is one where the valve shifts between two discreet positions, either open or closed, it can also apply to valves with three positions, such as with a 4/3 solenoid operated directional valve. But there are occasions where a true On/Off valve provides the best solutions to a […]

When should you use telescopic cylinders?
Contributed by Josh Cosford Telescopic cylinders are a unique type of actuator able to extend far longer than a traditional rod-style cylinder. Telescopic cylinders are manufactured using two or more nested tubes inside one another, and these tubes act as both the rod and barrel. Telescopic cylinders have as many as seven stages or more, […]

Flange coupling offers higher torques for mobile machinery in same size
For hydrostatic drives in construction and agricultural machines, I. C.-engines and hydraulic pumps are directly coupled. Both units are connected by a flange coupling. This connection must meet a number of requirements — although primarily it must transmit the power reliably, enabling the machine to perform the pending operations as requested. This is done via […]
Miniature linear position sensors operate reliably in high-pressure hydraulics
The operating environments of many hydraulic and materials testing systems require linear position sensors that operate reliably under continuous high pressures and temperatures while fitting into restrictive spaces. NewTek Sensor Solutions, Pennsauken, N.J., offers vented versions of its M-375 miniature LVDT linear position sensors specially designed to provide the highest level of reliability and accuracy under […]
NFPA Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge connects mentors and university students
New to the NFPA Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge this year is an organized mentoring program. The competition challenges college engineering students to redesign a traditional bicycle using hydraulics as the mode of power transmission. Each university Vehicle Challenge team worked with an assigned NFPA industry member mentor. The teams get competition points for checking in […]
