Shuttles from Innas highlighted at bauma to save fuel and increase efficiency
Shuttles are probably the most simple and cheapest option to improve the efficiency of hydraulic off-road machinery. As it promoted these devices at bauma 2022 in Munich last week, Innas highlighted that users could save up to 2,000 liters of fuel in an average off-road machine. Shuttles increase the efficiency of hydrostatic pumps and motors. […]
Danfoss introduces counterbalance valve for H1B bent-axis motor
Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced a counterbalance valve for its H1B bent-axis motor, expanding the motor’s application to open-circuit systems. Specifically designed for the motor, the counterbalance valve enables original equipment manufacturers to harness the benefits of the variable-speed H1B motor, including compact design and efficiency, in high-power drivetrain and winching applications while preventing overspeed […]
Thorx cam lobe motors reduce space needs and shock speeds
Danfoss Power Solutions announced the launch of its Thorx family of cam lobe motors. The first product, the CLM 8 S motor, is now available. Designed for construction machinery with chain drives, such as skid steer loaders, the compact motor offers better performance, higher efficiency, and longer lifetime than other cam lobe motors. The Thorx […]
Electric-hydraulic hybrid systems reduce emissions in refuse collection vehicles
Hybrid systems bridge the road to electrification with small batteries and readily available components. Electrification aims to eliminate vehicle emissions that degrade air quality and negatively impact public health. From a technical standpoint, electrification makes sense for light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as cars and small construction equipment. However, electrification is more complex for larger […]
Black Bruin to showcase hydraulic direct drives at Bauma
Black Bruin will be exhibiting its radial piston hydraulic motors for mobile and industrial applications at BAUMA 2022, at stand 306 in hall B4 (the Finland Pavillion). The S-series of hydraulic direct drives is the company’s response to the various needs in construction, mining, and material handling applications to produce continuous high power efficiently without […]
Four signs your hydraulic pump needs to be rebuilt
Contributed by Tracy Jones, Director of CJ Plant Maintenance The challenge with hydraulic pumps is that they are often neglected until something goes wrong. You wouldn’t be blamed for not knowing how often you need to service your hydraulic pump or how often it needs maintenance. However, some common signs indicate when your pump needs […]
Danfoss wins UK grant to decarbonize construction machinery
Danfoss Power Solutions has secured a grant worth approximately $450,000 from the U.K. government to accelerate the electrification of construction machinery. The U.K. Department for Business Energy and Skills awarded the grant through its Red Diesel Replacement competition, which seeks to accelerate the transition to electric off-road vehicles such as excavators and wheel loaders. While […]

Terzo Power Systems will supply its cutting edge Hydrapulse steering units to commercial eMobility leader SEA Electric. Electro-hydraulic technology manufacturing company Terzo Power Systems, has partnered with SEA Electric, a global leader in the electrification of commercial vehicles, to provide the hydraulic steering solutions to accompany the SEA-Drive power-system. Terzo Power Systems specializes in compact, […]
Avoid this one piston pump mistake
Hydraulic pumps are primarily designed to convert incoming prime mover energy into hydraulic energy, manifested as pressure and flow. The term hydrostatic refers to a state of pressure equilibrium, especially in a confined space. All traditional hydraulic applications are hydrostatic, and in most cases, if you shut down the pump, physical loads should hold fast […]
