How is electronic control of fluid power evolving?
Electrohydraulic or hydroelectric? It’s odd how similar those two compound words are, yet they’re obviously entirely different in meaning. Hydroelectric refers to the production of electricity by way of converting the potential kinetic energy found in conjoined bodies of water of varying height, into electrical energy used by everyone and their hamster. Electrohydraulic is the […]
Proportional solenoid cartridge valve provides precise control in a compact package
Eaton has released the new ESVL9 screw-in cartridge valve (SiCV), a five-way, three-position proportional solenoid valve. Featuring a patent-pending, integrated load-sense check control, the latest solution provides a 21% manifold size reduction compared to the external checks available with many five-ported directional control valves on the market today. “As customers transition from on/off control systems, […]

How do I specify standard hydraulic manifolds?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor The three most common ways to control hydraulic actuators are with lever valves, cartridge valves or sandwich valves. Lever valves are available as monoblock or stacked valves, and are primarily for directional control. Cartridge valves have nearly infinite possible combinations, but must be used with bodies or custom manifolds. Sandwich […]
