Hydraulic controls bring precision and flexibility to force testing
by Rick Meyerhoefer, Delta Computer Systems Dead-weight testing is finally replaced by something decidedly more 21st century. Traditionally, repair facilities test hoists in a pretty straightforward way—they lift heavy loads after the repairs have been completed, to make sure that they operate correctly and to their rated capacities. John Henry Foster Co. (JHF) of St. […]
New features for low-flow load-sensing valve
In an effort to meet new emissions and functional safety standards, system designers are turning to electrohydraulic solutions that offer more durable, efficient and reliable control. The PVG 16 is the first Danfoss low-flow load-sensing valve with electrohydraulic actuator technology — the PVE Series 6. Incorporating a microcontroller for closed loop spool position control, the […]
Select the right motor for your hydraulic applications
By Justin Wheeler, CFPHS, C-Series/Bent Axis Project Manager, Hydraulic Pump Div., Parker Hannifin The ideal in hydraulic system design is to match overall efficiencies to the application performance expectation. This requires the designer to first match the motor, then the pump to a specific system performance expectation. Whether the requirement is to do something within a specific time frame, […]
Harvest time troubleshooting: Replace the pump?
By Mark Pszczolkowski, Hydraulics Consultant at CD Industrial Group Inc., www.cdiginc.com When the cylinder won’t lift the load, replace the pump! That’s a very common reaction to a hydraulic system failure. Last week this situation came around again as an almost annual harvest event. I was called by a farmer I know. His harvester has […]
Pressure control: Upstream and downstream
By Carl Dyke, Hydraulics Consultant at CD Industrial Group Inc. www.cdiginc.com “It’s a PRV … a pressure control valve … a pressure regulator.” That’s what I sometimes hear when discussing symbols on a hydraulic schematic, or even when examining components. The acronym PRV really drives me crazy because it could stand for pressure relief valve […]
Pump powers rubber-tracked crawlers through tough terrain
Power management company Eaton has announced that its DuraForce tandem HPV075 piston pumps and L2 series, two-section gear pumps are helping Terramac RT9 rubber-tracked crawlers navigate the rugged terrains found in oil and gas drilling or mining operations. The customized pumps provide speed and maneuverability to these multi-function crawler carriers. Eaton worked with Motion Canada’s […]
