LunchBox Sessions and FPW take to YouTube Live again
Last year, Fluid Power World partnered with the experts at Lunchbox Sessions to promote special, free YouTube Live training sessions to bring accessible fluid power training to the world during lockdown. And although many people are back at work, there is always a need for quality education on hydraulic systems, so we are continuing this […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Eaton’s new X3 pump+motor delivers performance in compact package
Power management company Eaton today announced the launch of its X3 medium-duty pump and motor portfolio, including a new two-speed cartridge motor paired with single or back-to-back pump configurations. Combining improved package size, precision and efficiency, Eaton’s latest plug-in variable piston motor solutions are designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) improve machine control, productivity […]

Terzo Power Systems has established itself as the leader in the design and development of electrohydraulic pump systems designed for on- and off-highway mobile vehicles and industrial applications. Terzo Power Systems developed the world’s first compact and energy efficient smart hydraulic solutions for the electrification of fluid power. Their flagship product, the Hydrapulse, is a […]
Nine reasons why your pump runs slow
In a recent 2021 Fluid Power Technology Conference — Virtual Series presentation, MSOE University’s Tom Wanke took an in-depth look at Pump and Motor Troubleshooting, Failure Modes and Analysis. One problem that drives engineers and maintenance technicians crazy is when a hydraulic pump underperforms or runs erratically, but doesn’t completely fail. Sorting out the root […]
Pump and motor drive performance with interconnected propel solutions
The equipment industry — from construction to agriculture, mining and beyond — is moving to adopt smarter, more efficient systems and machines. To maximize efficiency and productivity, users need machines that are easier to maneuver on the worksite, simpler to operate and packed with more power to handle every job. For OEMs, these evolving expectations […]
Rating the real performance of hydraulic pumps
Low- and high-speed tests show that pump and motor performance can vary widely, depending on the speed and pressure. That’s critically important in electro-hydraulic actuators and electric-motor drives. Contributed by Peter Achten and Robin Mommers, Innas BV, Breda, The Netherlands Hydraulic component manufacturers generally publish pump and motor data that reflect optimal performance under ideal […]
