For novices in the fluid power industry, lack of understanding between the fixed flow and variable flow pumping concepts is quite common. A hydraulic pump has one mission, and that is to transform incoming mechanical energy at its shaft into hydraulic energy capable of transferring force to actuators somewhere downstream. This transfer of force is […]
Bosch Rexroth’s Subsea Valve Actuator receives award of merit
Bosch Rexroth’s new Subsea Valve Actuator (SVA) received the Award of Merit as one of five finalists in the 2019 Woelfel Best Mechanical Engineering Achievement Award. This award was presented at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston on May 6, 2019 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The SVA was recognized as a […]
Learn the latest in mobile hydraulic technologies at FPTC 2019
It’s no secret that mobile machinery is possibly the biggest user of hydraulic technologies. Hydraulic components are ideal because they offer the power density required to move heavy loads used in construction, the precision required in agriculture and the safety of mining. As a result, many of the sessions at this year’s Fluid Power Technology […]
Webtec hydraulic flow monitoring range now compatible with biodegradeable fluids
Webtec has unveiled its FlowHUB ViscoCorrect, an innovative and intelligent hydraulic flow monitoring device with integral temperature measurement and large digital display, now for use on oils, water and water-based fluids. Martin Cuthbert, MD of Webtec said, “We have seen more customers asking for a flow monitoring solution that they can take from stock and […]
When should you use on/off valves?
Contributed by Josh Cosford Although any “bang-bang” valve is one where the valve shifts between two discreet positions, either open or closed, it can also apply to valves with three positions, such as with a 4/3 solenoid operated directional valve. But there are occasions where a true On/Off valve provides the best solutions to a […]
Lightweight TubeFin cooler is ideal for hydraulic, transmission and fuel systems
AKG has further developed the Frameless TubeFin product line’s radiators and charge air coolers based on growing demands from the market and direct customer feedback. AKG’s coolers are adapted to on and off-highway vehicles including construction, generators, logistics vehicles, and specialty trucks. They are suitable for oil cooling in hydraulic, transmission, and fuel systems. LightWeight […]
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, […]
Flange coupling offers higher torques for mobile machinery in same size
For hydrostatic drives in construction and agricultural machines, I. C.-engines and hydraulic pumps are directly coupled. Both units are connected by a flange coupling. This connection must meet a number of requirements — although primarily it must transmit the power reliably, enabling the machine to perform the pending operations as requested. This is done via […]
What is a flow divider?
A flow divider is a hydraulic device that, as the name implies, separates flow into two or more parts. This lets a single pump simultaneously power more than one circuit. Two types of proportional flow dividers are the spool version; and the gear or rotary design. Spool dividers split the input flow proportionally into two […]
Muncie Power releases first power take-off in Titan Class series
Muncie Power’s Titan MC1 Series power take-off is the first in the company’s lineup of Titan Class power take-offs to be released. The Titan MC1 is a medium-duty, 10-bolt clutch shift PTO designed to fit Allison 3000/4000 Series transmissions. Applicable within nearly any market using a Class 6 to Class 8 truck with an automatic […]
