Hydraulics help mobile cranes soar — safely

April 28, 2025 By Mary Gannon

mounted cranes often look like excavators but are designed for more rugged environments.

Hydraulics are predominantly used in most mobile crane designs, from the cylinders for lifting, to valves for holding, and more. By: Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor We’ve all seen those crane yards when driving along highways near towns and cities. You know, the ones with their booms reaching high into the sky, proudly advertising the location […]

Fail-safe locking device can hold four million pounds

October 28, 2024 By Rachael Pasini

Fluid power engineers are familiar with hydraulic load-holding or counterbalance valves that prevent sudden load drops and control descent speed. Such valves ensure smooth, stable operation and provide a safety mechanism in mobile and industrial machinery. The downside is they can fail due to wear, incorrect positioning, or failures in the hydraulic system. Pennsylvania-based York […]

Electrohydraulic actuators are standalone, self-contained systems that perform powerful tasks without external piping. They typically include an electric servomotor driving a hydraulic pump — often an axial-piston unit. Other components include a hydraulic cylinder, tank, valving and charging circuits. Because they are fitted with their own closed fluid circuit, they require only a small amount […]

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors in a microchip doubles every two years, increasing computing power exponentially over time. It seems no other technology experiences such a rapid progression, especially considering how relatively young the semiconductor industry is. Fluid power provides us with no such rate of performance […]

Liebherr’s hybrid cylinders for lightweight construction

March 13, 2023 By Ken Korane

Lightweight construction is considered an important trend and driver as OEMs strive to make off-road machinery more efficient and productive. It’s also becoming more significant in many stationary applications. In mobile equipment, for example, weight savings can increase operating speeds, allow for larger attachments and booms, and raise payloads. And, of course, it often reduces […]
