How do hydraulic brakes work?

June 20, 2022 By Mary Gannon

Standard and custom hydraulic brake packages from Twiflex are designed to meet the static holding and dynamic (emergency) stopping duty requirements of many types of applications, including elevators, ship loading gantry cranes, escalators, metal mill ladle cover hoists, amusement rides, conveyors, cold steel mills, ski lifts and more.

Braking systems take advantage of the textbook offerings given by hydraulics — power, controllability and safety. Hydraulic brakes are fairly simple on the cover, requiring a hydraulic pump and a brake actuator. Vehicle braking systems may get by with only what are essentially two cylinders, one at the pump and the other at the brake. […]

Are hydrogen fuel cells the future for mobile machines?

June 17, 2022 By Mary Gannon

Adaptation of the active pre-chamber in Liebherr’s H966 and H964 engines has demonstrated that heavy-duty engines can be operated with hydrogen.

Prioritizing decarbonization is, without doubt, one that most countries agree with almost pure unanimity. Here, in the U.S., the Biden administration has a goal to eliminate carbons from the electric grid system by 2035. Globally, most countries are on similar timelines. But, looking ahead to 2050, there doesn’t seem to be a clear path forward […]
