What makes mobile hydraulics different from industrial hydraulics?
The need for lower weight, size and costs mean that mobile machinery often sets the stage for power density improvements in fluid power. All hydraulic machinery should be similar in scope and design, one would think. After all, the point of fluid power is to transmit force. Why should any given mobile machine be vastly […]
Designing with manifolds on mobile machinery
When designing manifolds for mobile machinery, one can quickly become overwhelmed with the volume of cartridge valve options available for installation into machined aluminum or steel blocks. Valve manufacturers offer hundreds of directional, pressure and flow control valves, often only separated by slight differences, such as an orifice. Partnering with a local fluid power company […]

New certification gives machine builders more options to use Bosch Rexroth’s drive-integrated SafeMotion functionality, even with third-party PLC platforms using different automation bus interfaces. Bosch Rexroth’s drive-integrated SafeMotion machine safety platform has received the ODVA’s CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP certification, adding to the company’s capabilities to support major safety automation buses, including CIP Safety on […]
New design overcomes piston-pump limitations
Piston pumps and motors have been on the market for many years, and they are arguably one of the most important components in many hydraulic circuits. The basic design behind a conventional piston pump usually has seven or nine pistons that convert mechanical torque into oil pressure. In a piston motor, the process is reversed. […]
