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 […]
Rugged transporter handles Antarctic extremes
An innovative design based on proven hydraulics and sophisticated controls ensured reliable and efficient performance. Prinoth Panther tracked vehicles are used on challenging worksites around the world. The rubber-tracked crawler carriers minimize damage to the underlying terrain thanks to their low ground pressure and superior stability while carrying payloads of up to 23 tons. They’re […]
Fluid power’s green evolution
All indications are that mobile and industrial systems of the future will be more automated and more digitally connected. And many experts contend future systems will also increasingly be low-carbon and electrified. Some construction equipment OEMs, for example, are committed to autonomous control and cloud-based maintenance systems, and next-generation machines that reduce the environmental impact […]
You can’t get something for nothing
I once had a customer call to request I visit them at their own customer’s site to help with a “breakdown.” I’m always down to help a customer, so I gladly paid a visit. Arriving on-site, many looming pieces of machinery greeted me in a heavy equipment yard. An excavator sat atop a float trailer […]

High-efficiency hydraulics for electrically powered machines
Flow-on-Demand systems enable energy-saving mobile drive technology. By Dierk Peitsmeyer, Product Portfolio Manager, Bucher Hydraulics, Klettgau, Germany The Paris Agreement is the landmark environmental accord that aims to address the negative impacts of climate change and substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Although the U.S. will formally withdraw from the Agreement on Nov. 4, nearly […]
