Electrohydraulics makes commercial vehicles more eco-friendly

May 5, 2022 By Ken Korane

Environmental regulations for road vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent, and one way to reduce CO2 emissions may be to eliminate mechanical V-belts or power take-offs from future commercial vehicles. Energy-efficient electrohydraulic systems, such as the latest Smart PowerPacks from Bucher Hydraulics, provide a viable alternative. Last year, the EU adopted a European Climate Law with […]

Novel tunnel-boring machine takes on mining with the help of hydraulics

May 2, 2022 By Ken Korane

Image shows the high-speed motion of Robbins' tunnel-boring machines

Hydraulically powered unit is the first to cut rectangular tunnels in hard rock. Circular, full-face tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are well-engineered, proven pieces of equipment, and they’re considered the most efficient machines for mechanical excavation of tunnels in rock. But they are not often used in underground mining. That’s because mines generally require a flat […]

What is pressure compensation in a hydraulic system?

April 7, 2022 By Mary Gannon

Pressure compensated flow controls

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Pressure compensated pumps, pressure compensated flow controls or even just straight-up pressure compensators – these terms are thrown around constantly. But unless you’re a hydraulic specialist, you may not know what these are, let alone what they do. Of course, you’ve probably heard of systems analysts and cartographers too, but […]

New cartridge flow transmitter revolutionizes hydraulic flow monitoring

March 23, 2022 By Mary Gannon

The T-18A version of the Cartridge Flow Transmitter (CFT) from DGD Fluid Power features clear Zinc trivalent electroplating. The CFT provides continuous flow monitoring of all hydraulic functions in a simple, easy to integrate design, a first in the industry.

Dale Dietel always knew there could be a better way to understand hydraulic system flows. Tired of the frustration born from the lack of easy flow monitoring, he invented his technology to provide continuous flow monitoring of all hydraulic functions — the world’s first Cartridge Flow Transmitter (CFT), from DGD Fluid Power. The CFT offers […]

How do hydraulic clutches work?

March 10, 2022 By Mary Gannon

Hydraulic actuated clutch from Witchita Clutch

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor A clutch is a mechanical device that disconnects a driveshaft from its input shaft, pausing output torque. Clutches — hydraulic or otherwise — often use friction to engage the input and output ends of the assembly. The friction material is not unlike the compound employed by vehicles for their brake […]
