Bosch Rexroth reveals fast, power-dense Hägglunds Atom hydraulic motor
The smallest of the Hägglunds hydraulic motors from Bosch Rexroth has been transformed. The Hägglunds Atom takes over from the existing Hägglunds CAb — supplying not only more revolutions per minute, but also far more power than motors of similar size. The result is a tiny, power-dense package suitable for mobile, marine and recycling applications. […]
Hydraulic cylinder repair: Metric in an Imperial world
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor We live in a global village where local preferences seem to matter less, and acceptance of unfamiliar ideas more widespread than ever. Thirty years ago, the idea of metric bolts, nuts, threads or other objects measured in round numbers was cringe-worthy, especially in the manufacturing space. Many found it annoying […]
Medium-pressure hydraulic pump for mobile machines
HAWE Hydraulik supplements the series of axial piston pumps in the medium pressure range with the new type C40V as successor model for the type V40M. This particularly lightweight axial piston pump is designed and compactly built for use in open circuits of mobile machines. Available in various sizes, it efficiently supplies system solutions for […]
What is the best raw material for hydraulic cylinder repair?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor When your customer’s cylinder arrives on your dock for repair, how often do you consider raw material when you quote the overhaul? Probably very little. Most hydraulic cylinders are manufactured from a combination of 1018/1020 cold rolled steel for the “square” components such as flanges, heads and caps. Piston rods […]
Double selector six-way hydraulic valves provide flow direction to two circuits
The DS-Double Selector hydraulic valve from Doering is a two position, six-way, double selector valve which directs the flow of hydraulic fluid to two separate hydraulic circuits within your hydraulic system. This flow divider valve allows the operation of two double-acting cylinders with one four-way control valve or four single-acting cylinders with two-three-way control valves. It […]

New ARC cylinder technology helps to increase life by 25% or more
Milwaukee Cylinder is proud to announce its new patent pending ARC (Automatic Recirculating Cylinder) Technology. ARC Technology is designed to increase cylinder life by 25% or more and is available on selected rod and bore combinations of the Milwaukee Cylinder H-Series (3000psi) hydraulic family of cylinders. “The problem with traditional cylinders is that, depending on […]
Load-sensing gets it done in forestry
Logging and timber harvesting machinery rely on load-sensing electrohydraulics for efficient, productive operation. Contributed by Carl Dyke, LunchBox Sessions In agriculture, like any other large-scale commodity, productivity and efficiency are keys to profitability and competitiveness. In corn harvesting, for example, it is not uncommon now to find harvesters with 2,000 hp and harvesting headers wider than […]
Proportional flow control valves for every application
In hydraulic systems, proportional flow control valves ensure that flow rates remain virtually constant. In doing so, they have to meet a large number of performance criteria that extend beyond their core function. According to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, manufacturers and operators of mobile machines are increasingly placing a special emphasis on energy efficiency. Flow […]
