The new high-accuracy inclination sensor positilt PTM27 from ASM Sensors comes in an ultra-compact housing and is suitable for applications where high robustness and accuracy are required. It can also replace rotary angle sensors advantageously. The new positilt PTM27 sensor measures inclination in the range of ±180° with one axis and in the range of […]
Rotational speed sensors allow highly sensitive mobile machine control
Holmer Maschinenbau GmbH, a German-based agricultural company, developed the first self-propelled six-row sugar-beet harvester in 1974. Since that time, the Holmer machines have been in successful operation by customers in over 40 countries world-wide. On its sugar beet harvesters, it requires a precise collection of actual values directly at the place of consumption (propulsion, toppers, […]
New-generation hydraulics for electrically powered machines
Climate-change mitigation and lower CO2 emissions are keen topics of discussion among construction industry OEMs and manufacturers of mobile machines for agriculture, forestry and mining. Which drive systems will be most suitable in the future to meet the demands for high power density and efficient, economical operation with minimal pollutant emissions? Industry expert Dierk Peitsmeyer, […]
Hydraulics powers ultra-high pressure firefighting
HMA Fire, based in Fall River, Wisc., develops fire-fighting equipment and systems for a range of on- and off-road vehicles — from custom mini-pumpers and skid units for ATVs to add-on packages for full-size fire vehicles. Its goal is to make fighting fires safer and more efficient by using ultra-high pressure (UHP) technology. The company […]
AutomationDirect adds inductive linear position transducers
Linear Variable Inductance Transducers (LVITs) from Alliance Sensors Group convert the linear displacement of an object into a proportional electrical signal output of 0-10 V or 4-20 mA (depending on model). LVITs are contactless devices designed for dimension or position measuring applications where the sensing element cannot be attached to the object being measured. LVITs […]
Connectors convert solenoid valve DIN to Deutsch-style connection
Canfield Connector’s GatorMate line of products now features the 2- and 3-pin GT series of rugged, connectors. The fully molded design eliminates the need to purchase expensive crimping tools and reduces labor required to assemble former field-wire versions. With the addition of the 5JGT DIN to Deutsch adapter, any solenoid valve DIN connection can easily […]
Land-management loader packs hydraulic horsepower
Caterpillar recently released the purpose-built Cat 299D3 XE Land Management compact track loader, which is designed to handle demanding vegetation-management applications such as right-of-way clearing near power lines, brush cutting, mowing and mulching. The machine is part of a new series of Cat D3 skid steer loader (SSL) and compact track loader (CTL) models that […]
Hydraulics keeps things moving in material handling applications
Hydraulics goes a long way to improve the function, power, controllability and safety of material handling equipment. By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Material handling involves the moving, transporting, lifting, and dumping of products, components or bulk ingredients, and mostly within the production and distribution of finished goods. Much of the equipment used for material handling […]
Eaton expands Xcel Series portfolio of low-speed, high-torque motors
Eaton has announced the advancement of its Xcel Series portfolio of low-speed, high-torque motors with the availability of the XL4 and XL6 options. Featuring Eaton’s reliable Geroler design, the new XL4 and XL6 motor options expand available torque ratings for the Xcel Series up to 16,800 in.-lbs [1898 Nm] and include an internal three-zone architecture […]
Speed sensor for mobile hydraulic control loops
Timely, contactless detection of the speed in modern mobile hydraulic control loops is an important parameter. The Rheintacho speed sensor of the FE series is a compact, robust and versatile design that is available in two different immersion depths — 18.4 and 32 mm, available as standard. This offers the possibility to select the optimal […]
