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 […]

Hydraulic and pneumatic Colorflow valves adapt to digital age
Contributed by Mike Giammo, product sales manager, and Mitch Eichler, business development manager, Parker’s Hydraulic Valve Div. Parker Colorflow valves have been a global standard in industrial and mobile applications for more than 60 years. The exclusive colored rings found on metering, flow control and needle valves provide users highly visible checkpoints that allow for […]
Double selector six-way hydraulic valves provide flow direction to two circuits
The DS-Double Selector hydraulic valve from Doering is a two position, six-way, double selector valve which directs the flow of hydraulic fluid to two separate hydraulic circuits within your hydraulic system. This flow divider valve allows the operation of two double-acting cylinders with one four-way control valve or four single-acting cylinders with two-three-way control valves. It […]
Proportional flow control valves for every application
In hydraulic systems, proportional flow control valves ensure that flow rates remain virtually constant. In doing so, they have to meet a large number of performance criteria that extend beyond their core function. According to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, manufacturers and operators of mobile machines are increasingly placing a special emphasis on energy efficiency. Flow […]
Bosch Rexroth launches new Pre-Compensated Valve Platform for mobile machines
Flexible and adaptable, the Pre-Compensated Valve Platform makes it easier for mobile machine builders to selectively combine a range of hydraulic control valves into a single, integrated, multifunctional control solution to match specific operational and performance requirements. With the Pre-Compensated Valve Platform, Bosch Rexroth has engineered a solution that combines multiple valves with minimal need […]
Space-saving, pressure-compensated flow control valve
Sun Hydraulics has released the company’s first solenoid-operated, 3-way proportional flow control valve as part of the expanding line of FLeX Series valves. The new patent pending, compact FREP combines an electro-proportional adjustable orifice and pressure compensator in one valve and can provide a constant priority flow rate independent of load pressures. It’s well suited […]
Sectional load sense relief valve offers efficient pressure control
Power management company Eaton has introduced a sectional load sense relief valve (LSRV) for its CLS mobile hydraulic control valve. The patented LSRV limits individual section pressure through feed oil reduction, eliminating the need for inefficient work port reliefs for feed-side pressure control. The CLS LSRV improves machine productivity and efficiency by helping prevent functions […]
FastLine celebrating four years of 24-hour shipping
FastLine Valves by JEM Technical is celebrating four years of offering preconfigured standard valve block assemblies for hydraulic circuits designed for mobile equipment applications. The company guarantees same day shipping at the time of order for FastLine products. Fastline by JEM was created of an industry need to provide readily available hydraulic cartridge valve assemblies […]
Manually operated directional control valve in a compact footprint
HYDAC is pleased to announce the introduction of the LM06W series of manually operated poppet valves. The series has a number of benefits to the user, which include: Push to operate, spring return Normally closed poppet valve Leak tight even at high pressures Robust simple operation Use for emergency pilot apply/release for safe equipment operation […]
Kraft Fluid Systems invests in test stand for Danfoss PVG line
Kraft Fluid Systems has invested in a state-of-the-art hydraulic test stand for their Danfoss PVG Build Center. The new test stand gives Kraft the ability to test high flow rates and doubles their in-house testing capacity. Kraft tests 100% of all PVG valve assemblies with capabilities up to 60 gpm and 5,000 psi, which satisfies […]
