Applications utilizing the FR66 Series power take-off can now take advantage of Muncie Power’s Optimum W Series gear pump’s higher operating pressures due to new modifications to the pump’s housing. The W Series’ robust design allows for its higher operating pressures, which are greater than that of typical gear pump applications. W Series gear pumps […]

Eaton’s Patent Pending Technology Enables Flexible System Design
Power management company Eaton introduced a patent pending new “drive in a drive” technology that saves space and extends motor life, making smaller 34 cubic centimeters, 41cc and 66.5cc displacements possible. The design allows the 2000 Series disc motors to cover the entire spool motor displacement range, so it is easy to upgrade as agricultural […]
Efficient hydrostatic travel drives, quickly applied
The axial piston variable pump A30VG enables short engineering times for hydrostatic travel drives thanks to its full compatibility with the mobile electronics range from Rexroth and well-proven standard software for the EP control concept. The pump incorporated into the product range is suitable for wheel and travel drives with two hydraulically separate circuits and […]
New hydraulically driven pump for underground mining applications
SKF today announced the introduction of its Lincoln HTL 201 EEX hydraulically driven pump for use in volatile applications, such as underground mining. Featuring a steel pump body and lubricant reservoir, this unit is a cost-effective alternative to expensive electrically driven pumps that must include a cabinet for protection. Designed to minimize friction and wear, […]
New radial piston motor from Rexroth
Rexroth is expanding its range of direct drives for compact tracked loaders and other tracked vehicles with the new MCR-T radial piston motor in frame size 10. The newly designed unit is approximately 20% shorter than conventional radial piston motors on the market and offers around 10% higher starting torque for more tractive force. For […]
What is flood feed versus suction feed?
Flood feed versus suction feed is the way to prevent cavitation in your hydraulic/fluid power system. When you have a flooded suction, you have a reservoir either to the side or above the pump itself—so that you use the height of the fluid to create pressure to push into the pump itself. The pump doesn’t count […]
World market for hydraulic pumps to reach $10.4 billion by 2022
According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, the global hydraulic pump market is expected to garner $10.4 billion of revenue by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2016-2022. In 2015, Asia-Pacific accounted for 36.7%, followed by North America. Growth in developing countries such as China and India would primarily be supplemented by […]
Where are hydraulic motors used?
Hydraulic motors are used in any application requiring rotational force, also known as torque. A hydraulic motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy by pushing vanes, gears or pistons attached to a crankshaft. The power capacity of a hydraulic motor is dictated by its displacement, and the speed in which is rotates. Hydraulic motors are […]
How do you eliminate heat generated by a hydraulic pump?
One of the ways to eliminate hydraulic pumps’ heat generation is related to efficiency. The efficiency of the pump is directly related to how much energy is being used downstream. If you have a gear pump or any other pump because of wear that is, say, 80% efficient, if you’re putting in 10 input of horsepower, 2 horsepower […]
Ag machinery relies on the versatility of hydraulics
Unique, easily changed designs dominate in agricultural machines, where the power density and the precision offered by electrohydraulics will continue to keep farms in the green. The agricultural machinery industry has probably been the slowest evolving sector with regards to electronic integration. It’s not that machine manufacturers haven’t kept up to date with the latest technology; […]
