Environmental regulations for road vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent, and one way to reduce CO2 emissions may be to eliminate mechanical V-belts or power take-offs from future commercial vehicles. Energy-efficient electrohydraulic systems, such as the latest Smart PowerPacks from Bucher Hydraulics, provide a viable alternative. Last year, the EU adopted a European Climate Law with […]

Electrohydraulic pump drive for low voltage systems
Omni Powertrain Technologies has a new electrohydraulic pump combination. The unit was developed for low voltage mobile applications and is ideally suited for the needs of hybrid equipment builders facing spatial constraints. The system includes a Flo-Torq gear pump packaged with an axial flux motor and controller from Omni’s Magelec subsidiary. The overall package length […]
Novel tunnel-boring machine takes on mining with the help of hydraulics
Hydraulically powered unit is the first to cut rectangular tunnels in hard rock. Circular, full-face tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are well-engineered, proven pieces of equipment, and they’re considered the most efficient machines for mechanical excavation of tunnels in rock. But they are not often used in underground mining. That’s because mines generally require a flat […]

Efficient mobile electrification with smart electrohydraulic pump
Nearly a year ago, Terzo Power Systems officially launched its electrohydraulic pump systems designed for on- and off-highway mobile vehicles and industrial applications. Terzo Power Systems developed the world’s first compact and energy efficient smart hydraulic solutions for the electrification of fluid power. Their flagship product, the Hydrapulse, is a complete electrohydraulic system that is […]
Complete electrification system for mobile machinery
At MinExpo last fall, Parker Hannifin’s Hydraulic Pump and Power Systems Division released a complete electrification system spotlighting its new GVM310 global vehicle motor and P1M series mobile open-circuit, medium-pressure axial-piston pump. The GVM310 is a powerful, rugged, electric vehicle motor for both heavy on and off-road vehicles, engineered for traction and electrohydraulic pumps (EHP) […]
Danfoss Digital Displacement pump wins Agritechnica award
The Danfoss DDP096 Digital Displacement pump has been named a winner of Agritechnica’s prestigious Systems & Components Trophy 2022. Presented by DLG, the German Agricultural Society, the award recognizes the inventive spirit of industry suppliers and their importance to agricultural technology. The Digital Displacement pump triumphed as one of three winners from among 20 nominees. […]
How do you select hydraulic pumps?
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 […]
Series V16 variable-displacement, bent-axis motors for mining needs
The Hydraulic Pump and Power Systems Division of Parker Hannifin Corp., highlighted the Pump & Motor Division Europe’s new Series V16 motor at MINExpo earlier in the fall. Series V16 is a new generation of variable displacement, bent-axis motors and a further development of Parker’s V12 and V14 bent axis motor series. The Series V16 […]
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 […]
