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 […]
CCEFP announces new funded research projects
The CCEFP has announced it will fund two research projects from that were recently submitted after a call for proposals during this Spring. In all, 11 proposals were submitted from eight different research institutions. “The CCEFP is committed to grow our research portfolio by engaging industry members, exploring new federal funding opportunities and collaborations with the […]
What does pressure really mean?
Pressure is simply the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. However, there are many ways to reference and identify pressure, which is largely dependent upon the application. In many applications, there is a common misconception that all pressure measurement needs to be absolute. […]
SH series power take-off from Muncie features seal plate gasket
Muncie Power Products’ SH Series is now available for the Eaton Endurant and PACCAR Transmission. Instead of a paper gasket, the SH Series for the Eaton Endurant and PACCAR Transmission features a seal plate gasket. This seal plate gasket is able to withstand the specialty oil used by the transmission and allows the installer to […]

How do you calculate HPU pressure and flow requirements?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Before you select a pump for your HPU, you must calculate your pressure and flow requirements. To calculate flow required by your hydraulic pump, you must know the size and velocity of the actuators it will power. It is important to calculate the maximum flow required during simultaneous actuator operation, […]
Electric-operated variable-priority flow divider offers higher efficiency
Webtec, a specialist manufacturer of hydraulic measurement and control products, is introducing its new VFD120E electric-operated variable-priority flow divider. Designed particularly for use on mobile machinery, it allows the speed of hydraulic motors on trailed agricultural attachments and on mining and construction machinery to be controlled remotely. The 420-bar rated VFD120E will offer greater levels […]

How are motion controllers used in fluid power?
Motion controllers are used extensively on industrial machinery, but specific controllers exist that are dedicated for use on electrohydraulic machinery. They provide closed-loop control of electrohydraulic and pneumatic applications from single to multi-axis systems. Common applications can be found in materials, aerospace, forestry, energy, metals, entertainment, and more. Like all motion controllers, these computational devices […]
