The need for lower weight, size and costs mean that mobile machinery often sets the stage for power density improvements in fluid power. All hydraulic machinery should be similar in scope and design, one would think. After all, the point of fluid power is to transmit force. Why should any given mobile machine be vastly […]

Designing with manifolds on mobile machinery

February 13, 2020 By Mary Gannon

Daman custom manifolds

When designing manifolds for mobile machinery, one can quickly become overwhelmed with the volume of cartridge valve options available for installation into machined aluminum or steel blocks. Valve manufacturers offer hundreds of directional, pressure and flow control valves, often only separated by slight differences, such as an orifice. Partnering with a local fluid power company […]

Screw-in cartridge valves optimize hydraulics

December 30, 2019 By Ken Korane

As mobile-hydraulics engineers constantly aim to pack more capabilities into less space, custom screw-in cartridge manifolds can be an excellent option in many applications, according to officials at Cross Co., Greensboro, N.C. The products can address many needs of the machine builder, including small package size, design flexibility, and simplified plumbing and routing. And they […]

Adjustable pressure control valves for regulating hydraulic pressure

December 3, 2019 By Mary Gannon

Fluidyne adjustable pressure control Valve

Balanced piston relief valve is designed for use in applications requiring an adjustable regulating valve to limit the pressure in a hydraulic circuit to a predetermined maximum. The relief valve consists of a control poppet and main spool which provides low pressure differential and quiet operation. Pressure can be adjusted by loosening a jam nut […]

What are flow control valves?

September 17, 2019 By Mary Gannon

Hydac Flow Control

In the collection of hydraulic valve components, flow control valves are any device manufactured for the purpose of modifying the rate of fluid flow in a portion of a hydraulic circuit. Flow variability occurs through the adjustment of the effective orifice size inside the valve, and this is achieved through various techniques based upon the […]

How do relief valves work?

July 23, 2019 By Mary Gannon

Kepner inline relief valves

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor It seems like a question with an easy answer, but you’d be surprised how often people ask, “how do relief valves work?” We in the fluid power industry take our knowledge for granted, but each and every one of us was at some point ignorant of literally every hydraulic component […]
