Hydraulic valves on mobile machinery
Hydraulic valves, in addition to the force density advantage of actuators, are what help make hydraulics unique in their control of force, torque and motion. Valves govern direction, pressure and flow of hydraulic fluid, enabling smooth, safe and controlled use of actuators. Every machine both requires and uses valves, varying vastly in execution from a […]
Danfoss Power Solutions to present mobile hydraulic expertise at IFPE 2014
In its efforts to be the strongest parter available to OEMs in mobile hydraulics markets, Danfoss Power Systems, formerly known as Sauer-Danfoss, is bringing a full program to this year’s IFPE at the Las Vegas Convention Center. In addition to providing information at its booth 80529 in the South Hall, Danfoss Power Systems will present […]
Hydraulic manifolds on mobile machinery
By Josh Cosford A hydraulic manifold is a metal billet of either ductile iron or aluminum, machined for and installed with cartridge valves. It is a form of compact hydraulics enjoyed with many benefits and with few downsides. The most obvious advantages with manifolds (sometimes called combination valves, blocks or integrated circuits), is in their […]
High pressure directional control valves from Muncie
Muncie’s directional control valves are constructed with high-grade iron castings and nickel-plated spools for use in high-pressure applications and can be configured with many different spool, control and positioner options. The valves can be configured with a full array of spool, control, and positioner options. The V080 is designed for flow capacities of up to […]
Concentric AB products on display at IFPE CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014
Concentric AB, formerly part of Haldex, will feature a range of low-noise, high power density hydraulics products at booth 80908 located in South Hall 3 at IFPE CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014 in Las Vegas from March 4 to 8. The company’s product range includes hydraulic motors, pumps, power packs and flow dividers, products specified by OEMs for […]
Eaton launches intelligent hydraulic valve, water-cooled brakes
Eaton, Eden Prairie, Minn., has just launched two new innovative products, including an “intelligent” proportional valve line which I saw a preview of at its annual Distributor Meeting last September and new water-cooled brakes. The new AxisPro servo proportional valve features embedded intelligence that enables increased productivity, flexibility, diagnostics and reliability. I learned at the EDM […]
Hydraulic hose on mobile machinery
By Josh Cosford Because it is impossible to physically stack every component of a hydraulic system like a Jenga tower, plumbing is required to direct hydraulic energy through the circuit. Pipe, tube and hose are required to channel fluid through the system, and the requirements of the system must be reflected in the choice of […]
New hydraulic adapters, fittings and mobile app from Brennan Industries
Brennan Industries Inc., Solon, Ohio, is expanding its product line just in time for IFPE, with new stainless-steel O-ring face seal and flange adapters, custom-made fittings, and even an expanded mobile app for product selection. Because they offer high corrosion resistance and sealing for critical, harsh-duty applications, the new adapters “are ideal in facilities alongside […]
High-pressure hydraulic valves offer high flows
Comatrol will be featuring a variety of new valve lines and related accessories at IFPE this year. The company’s HSV high-pressure solenoid valve portfolio continues to grow. In addition to the 10, 12 and 16 size poppet-type designs, along with 10 size 2-Way spool valves introduced last year, Comatrol is launching nine new HSV valves and […]
