How do I specify standard hydraulic manifolds?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor The three most common ways to control hydraulic actuators are with lever valves, cartridge valves or sandwich valves. Lever valves are available as monoblock or stacked valves, and are primarily for directional control. Cartridge valves have nearly infinite possible combinations, but must be used with bodies or custom manifolds. Sandwich […]
Customization enhances pressure switch functionality
Pressure switches are often considered commodity items. But for many mission-critical or demanding applications, including high-pressure hydraulics, aerospace, pharmaceuticals and more, a switch may require a custom mechanical design or electrical features that go beyond what commercial off-the-shelf switches can offer. In fact, with a little extra engineering, users can boost a switch’s performance and, […]

Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced its first CAN rotary device, the HMR CAN Rotary, as part of its PLUS+1 family of mobile machine management products. “We’ve seen a growing trend in the on-highway industry for bringing display screen navigation closer to the operator, and we’re excited to provide our customers with a modern solution designed […]
Hall-effect transducers ensure correct axle width to match crop row spacing
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, changing the axle width was a time-consuming task, as users would have to jack up one wheel of a tractor/sprayer, […]
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 […]
