In conjunction with its exhibition at Utility Expo this week, Sun Hydraulics has officially launched its eSense solution, available now in models XCCX and XCDX. This design has been promoted over the last year, as it was undergoing testing and development. Designed to advance the future of load-holding technology, the eSense was developed through a […]
Smarter hydraulic maintenance: how smart testing strategies save money
Smart testing tools and structured maintenance strategies help companies extend equipment life, cut costs, and boost uptime without compromising safety. By Martin Cuthbert, Managing Director, Webtec For a busy company supporting mines and oilfields with hydraulic powered machinery, one factor second only to safety is maximizing machine uptime. Fleets of mobile and industrial machines inevitably […]
Overhung load adaptors with gas nitriding provide corrosion protection
In another unique product offering, Zero-Max is now offering a gas nitriding option to protect its Overhung Load Adaptor (OHLA) shafts while enhancing overall system performance. Because OHLAs are most often used in harsh outdoor environments including exposure to heat, rain, humidity, salt water, dirt and debris, protecting the OHLA shaft can be an important […]
iVT exhibits set the stage for CONEXPO-CON/AGG fluid power manufacturers
While at iVT Expo in last month, several fluid power exhibitors there said that event was a teaser to their CONEXPO-CON/AGG presence, as they gear up for what most agree is the biggest showing of fluid power technologies in North America. Although the IFPE show was discontinued after the 2023 iteration, most fluid power exhibitors […]
How to optimize your hydraulic reservoir and oil use
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor When fluid power designers think about an optimized reservoir, the goal is rarely to optimize the reservoir itself, but rather to consider the needs of the hydraulic system as a whole. We like to provide the pump with superior inlet conditions that avoid cavitation, enough volume to aid with cooling […]
New geofencing capabilities added to Danfoss autonomous control software
Danfoss Power Solutions has released an update to its PLUS+1 Autonomous Control Library (ACL) software for off-highway machinery. ACL 4.0, now available, enables users to create virtual boundaries around specific geographic areas, known as geofences. The capability helps ensure reliability and enables location tracking when a machine enters or exits a boundary. Geofencing is not […]

Taking place October 7-9, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, this biennial event showcases the latest innovations, equipment and solutions in the largest trade show dedicated to […]
New Danfoss Thorx cam lobe motor ensures smoother road rolling
Danfoss Power Solutions today announced the launch of its Thorx CLM 5 C cam lobe motor. Designed for drum drives on road rollers and other compaction equipment, the CLM 5 C hydraulic motor joins the S motors for skid steers and the recently launched T motors for compact track loaders in the Thorx lineup. It […]
Expanded electrohydraulic actuator offers marine-grade corrosion resistance
Regal Rexnord’s linear motion solutions brand, Thomson, has introduced key enhancements to its H-Track electrohydraulic actuator, making it more resilient in harsh and high-moisture environments. The latest version features marine-grade 316 stainless steel components for improved corrosion resistance and a sealed motor housing that enables underwater operation, expanding its suitability across marine, agricultural, industrial, and […]
How autonomy is revolutionizing the mobile machine industry
The off-highway industry is undergoing great change lately, in particular with autonomous technologies advancements. For hydraulic engineers developing systems for mobile construction machinery, this transformation represents both challenges and opportunities. While autonomy may not aim to replace human operators entirely, it is redefining their role, improving productivity, safety, and efficiency. Modern off-highway machines incorporate features […]
