Manufacturers of mobile machines must decide whether to control their pumps using pressure, torque or swivel angle — and always have to accept compromises as a result. The same applies to numerous other hardware parameters which, once defined, stay the same throughout a machine’s service life. According to Simon Dreher, an excavator industry specialist with […]

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 […]
