Is it necessary to push hydraulics past 10,000 psi?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors in a microchip doubles every two years, increasing computing power exponentially over time. It seems no other technology experiences such a rapid progression, especially considering how relatively young the semiconductor industry is. Fluid power provides us with no such rate of performance […]

The global agricultural machinery and supplier industry will be on show at Agritechnica from November 12 to 18, demonstrating inspiration and solutions for the complex challenges of global crop production under the motto “green productivity.” Finnish hydraulic motor manufacturer Black Bruin is proud to be part of this with sustainable innovations to be showcased on […]
What hydraulic pumps are best for electrified systems?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Before I begin, let me preface this article with my definition of “electrified.” It’s rarer to find a hydraulic machine with no electrical or electronic components, so electrified might be redundant. In this case, I’m discussing the motion control and automation side of hydraulics, where the electric more is more […]
KM Industrial pressure transducer ensures safety in an ultra-compact design
Gefran Inc. is introducing the KM industrial pressure transducer to the North American market. The KM is smaller than Gefran’s existing KH industrial pressure transducer line but offers improved operational and safety features through environmental ratings and additional certifications. The KM series is available in pressure range options of up to 14,500 psi (1,000 bar) […]
