By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, and it goes without saying every hydraulic system requires such a device to transmit controlled force to the actuators of your hydraulic machine. How you select a pump comes down to many factors but working through this guide will help you select […]

Versatile machines thanks to electronic pump controls
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 […]

Rexroth’s Atom motor, condition monitoring technologies enable uptime in mining
The big highlight for Bosch Rexroth at this year’s MinExpo held in September was its new Hägglunds Atom hydraulic motor. Smaller than traditionally offered over the years, the Atom was actually developed several years ago under a different name but at a much lower pressure rating, said Brian Howell, Hägglunds Sales Manager. But the market […]
The venerable vane pump – is it still relevant?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor I’ll cut to the chase; the best days for the hydraulic vane pump are likely behind us but they’re not quite ready for extinction. Let me tell you why I feel this way. Just like much of technology from the early days of the twentieth century, the vane pump came […]

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. […]
