Bosch Rexroth redesigns its Hägglunds hydraulic motors
Calling it the Hidden Beast, Bosch Rexroth has repackaged its line of Hägglunds industrial hydraulic motors, giving them a more powerful, yet compact design.

12 questions to answer for shredding equipment design
By Dave Ebert, Product Manager, Gold Cup Pumps & Motors, Hydraulic Pump Div., Parker Hannifin Corp. High-production shredding applications reduce material—appliances, concrete, tires, and so on—into smaller particles for recycling and re-use. Hydraulics is a natural fit for both systems with gearboxes and those that use high-torque, low-speed motors as a direct drive. In operation, […]

What is a hydraulic motor?
I’ve asked similar questions, “what is a hydraulic cylinder,” and “what is a hydraulic pump,” so I thought I’d add another query to the list, and ask “what is a hydraulic motor?” Just as with the previous two articles, this may seem like an elementary question, especially if you’re a fluid power professional. For me […]
What is a hydraulic pump?
It seems like such a basic question to ask, but unfortunately, many who even work in this industry do not know the function of a hydraulic pump. When I was first taught about the function of a hydraulic pump, I was told its only job was to provide flow. I was also told that any […]
Not your grandfather’s gear pump, part 2
Continuing the discussion from last week, the past fifty years saw a continued evolution of the gear pump, which has resulted in higher efficiency, higher pressure and more versatility than was ever previously available. Aluminum alloys are now the most common construction material for the gear pump housing, and hardened steel is used for the […]
Not your grandfather’s gear pump, part 1
The venerable gear pump is so strongly associated with hydraulics that perhaps only cylinders are more prominent in this industry. There is good reason for the popularity of the hydraulic gear pump; they are simple, inexpensive, durable and interminable. I’ve seen them made from about five pieces if you don’t count seals and bolts, and […]
Bosch Rexroth’s largest hydraulics production facility in the Americas celebrates 25 years of operation
Opened in 1989, the facility was originally made up of a single 250,000 sq. ft. building and specialized in manufacturing hydraulic pumps. Now, the Fountain Inn facility is more than double its original size in order to better serve its customers in the region and beyond. Rexroth last year converted an existing industrial warehouse into […]
