When should you use telescopic cylinders?
Contributed by Josh Cosford Telescopic cylinders are a unique type of actuator able to extend far longer than a traditional rod-style cylinder. Telescopic cylinders are manufactured using two or more nested tubes inside one another, and these tubes act as both the rod and barrel. Telescopic cylinders have as many as seven stages or more, […]
Hall-effect transducers ensure correct axle width to match crop row spacing
When the planting season begins, farmers will plant different crops at different row widths, requiring the sprayers to match the row width by running wheels between the plants and not over them. In the past, changing the axle width was a time-consuming task, as users would have to jack up one wheel of a tractor/sprayer, […]
