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 […]
Electrohydraulics makes commercial vehicles more eco-friendly
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 […]
