New submerged HPUs give boat lifts a boost
In recreational boating, hydraulic power units (HPUs) provide the muscle behind critical operating machinery used to transport, launch, or secure small craft, including lifts, trailers, and jacks. For boat lifts alone, OEMs produce a variety of configurations, such as bottom standing, piling mount, floating, and shore mounted. These machines and configurations rely on hydraulic systems […]
Hydraulic rotators let harvesters revolve freely
Forest machine manufacturer Ponsse is launching the new HH360 rotator, which lets the harvester head freely rotate 360° without limitations. The harvester head speeds up wood processing, makes the operator’s job easier, and reduces hose failures. The product was developed in close cooperation with hydraulic motor and rotator manufacturer Black Bruin, and Ponsse has exclusive […]

The innovation will be on show for […]
Danfoss introduces counterbalance valve for H1B bent-axis motor
Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced a counterbalance valve for its H1B bent-axis motor, expanding the motor’s application to open-circuit systems. Specifically designed for the motor, the counterbalance valve enables original equipment manufacturers to harness the benefits of the variable-speed H1B motor, including compact design and efficiency, in high-power drivetrain and winching applications while preventing overspeed […]
Electric-hydraulic hybrid systems reduce emissions in refuse collection vehicles
Hybrid systems bridge the road to electrification with small batteries and readily available components. Electrification aims to eliminate vehicle emissions that degrade air quality and negatively impact public health. From a technical standpoint, electrification makes sense for light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as cars and small construction equipment. However, electrification is more complex for larger […]
Slip rings make continuous rotation possible in hydraulic machinery
Slip rings are small but mighty devices that serve multiple purposes and can be used in various industries. They come in different types, shapes, and sizes and are installed where the stationary part of a machine meets a rotational part. Basic designs include rings that rotate with the rotating part of the machine and static […]
