Parker’s disengageable twin flow pump saves fuel and reduces life cycle costs
The Pump & Motor Division Europe of Parker Hannifin has announced the launch of its new disengageable twin flow truck pump, the F4 series, as an innovation for the mobile hydraulics market. The new F4 hydraulic pump merges technology from the successful F2 twin flow pump and F3 axial piston fixed pump series, resulting in […]
A new “Twiist” on position transducer design measures multiple data points
After 10 years of research, Gefran, an Italian sensor and control company, has launched its Twiist contactless linear position transducer to the North American market. The transducer not only measures position but can also measure temperature, velocity, acceleration, and tilt angle. “There are several products on the market that measure position and Gefran has them […]
Liebherr expands axial-piston offerings
At this year’s IFPE 2023 show, Liebherr Components presented its expanded line of axial piston pumps — including two new pumps with nine nominal sizes. To keep pace with ever-increasing demands for availability and durability, the new size 550 cc was developed in close cooperation with customers for use under extreme working conditions, according to […]
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 […]
IFPE 2023 wrap-up: Axial-piston variable motor for hydrostatic drivetrains
As it highlighted its system options along with its technologies for electrification at IFPE last month, Bosch Rexroth showcased new and legacy products that can optimize modern machines. One such component was its A36VM axial piston variable motor, which was developed specifically for hydrostatic drivetrains. It allows greater tractive force and speed for mobile machines. […]
IFPE 2023 wrap-up: Bucher introduces Smart PowerPack
Increasing concerns over climate change has put a heightened focus on reducing CO2 emissions from heavy vehicles and mobile equipment. Two ways to lower emissions from construction and agricultural machinery, according to most experts, are to minimize idling periods and to embrace demand-based control of auxiliary actuators. According to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, Grand Rapids, […]
IFPE 2023 wrap-up: Danfoss’ multiplate system enables faster hydraulic line connections
Danfoss Power Solutions has launched its multiplate system in North America. The configurable coupling system enables users to simultaneously connect and disconnect up to 6 hydraulic lines fitted with the company’s flat face quick-disconnect couplings with a single movement — enabling faster assembly, maintenance, and attachment changeout. The multiplate system improves operator ease of use and […]
IFPE 2023 wrap-up: modular hydraulic valves for compact needs
One of my final stops at IFPE 2023 was a briefing with Gary Gotting, President & CEO, Wandfluh of America Inc., particularly about their newModifications, to and between them, can also be carried out quickly in the field. Due to the modular design, special solutions can also be created in a flexible manner. For example, […]
New 212k and 412k Overhung Load Adaptors (OHLA) fill important industry voids
When fluid power and power transmission products are discontinued, finding replacements can be challenging. Zero-Max now fills this Overhung Load Adaptor void with its new 212k and 412k OHLA models for 2-bolt SAE A mount and 4-bolt non-SAE mount applications requiring a 1-1/4 in. output shaft. For both new and replacement applications, these new OHLA […]
