Overhung load adaptors with gas nitriding provide corrosion protection
In another unique product offering, Zero-Max is now offering a gas nitriding option to protect its Overhung Load Adaptor (OHLA) shafts while enhancing overall system performance. Because OHLAs are most often used in harsh outdoor environments including exposure to heat, rain, humidity, salt water, dirt and debris, protecting the OHLA shaft can be an important […]
Danfoss introduces MP1T axial piston tandem pump for dual-path propel
Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced the MP1T axial piston tandem pump, the latest addition to its MP1 medium-power closed-circuit hydraulic platform. The MP1T tandem pump is designed for construction machinery and other equipment with dual-path propel systems. It provides rotating efficiency, controllability, and a compact design with a shorter length than comparable pumps. The MP1T […]
New Danfoss Thorx cam lobe motor ensures smoother road rolling
Danfoss Power Solutions today announced the launch of its Thorx CLM 5 C cam lobe motor. Designed for drum drives on road rollers and other compaction equipment, the CLM 5 C hydraulic motor joins the S motors for skid steers and the recently launched T motors for compact track loaders in the Thorx lineup. It […]
7 steps to prevent hydraulic motor failure
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Preventing hydraulic motor failure involves a combination of proper design, maintenance, and operation practices. Despite resembling hydraulic pumps, motors are unique in that they convert hydraulic energy (in the form of pressure and flow) into rotational energy (in the form of running torque). Hydraulic motors drive winches, wheels and pullies, […]
Electrifying massive crawler cranes with electrics and hydraulics
Danfoss eHydraulic power module enables electrification of 200-tonne SANY crawler crane Construction machinery worldwide emits an estimated 400 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, according to IDTechEx. With the scale of global construction activity set to increase significantly in the decades to come, decarbonizing heavy-duty machinery is vital to curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Leading […]
Electrics bring a complex future to ag machinery
For our mobile hydraulics focus on the agriculture market, Fluid Power World spoke with Vinicius Povineli, Mobile electronics/connectivity product manager, Bosch Rexroth, to learn how electrification is impacting ag machinery today and tomorrow. FPW: How are hybrid and electric innovations impacting the agriculture industry and where do you see any challenges arising in the future? […]
What types of high-pressure vane pumps are available?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor When someone mentions a high-pressure hydraulic pump, the vane pump is not likely to come to mind. Vane pumps are often limited to 2,000 psi or less because of the physical limitations of their inherent design. Vanes must reciprocate inside slots while pushing on the cam ring, and when fully […]
