Danfoss to focus on “future of machine performance” at IFPE 2023
Danfoss Power Solutions will showcase its range of hydraulic, fluid conveyance, and electrification products and services at the 2023 International Fluid Power Exposition, March 14-18, in Las Vegas. At its booth, S80515, the company will demonstrate how it is “Powering the future of machine performance.” “Autonomy, electrification, connectivity, and digitalization aren’t just buzzwords. They’re enabling […]
Rota Engineering offers transducer option for ultra-robust environments
Since the launch of Rota’s independent mount LL series transducer in 2019 it has been successfully adopted by many OEMs across construction and agricultural applications. Sharing the same technology as Rota’s field-proven, internal LA series, the LL series has been designed for ultra-robust environments where monitoring by standard, in-cylinder position transducers is undesirable or simply […]
Maximum safety for cranes and excavators
Bucher Hydraulics is expanding its portfolio of safety valves with a new load-control valve for winches, as well as additional sizes of other load-control valves and pipe-rupture safety devices. When a crane must position enormous wind-turbine rotor blades or entire building roofs with millimeter accuracy, valves from Bucher Hydraulics are often used — especially when […]
Volvo to highlight new machines for a changing industry
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is building its exhibition space at Conexpo/IFPE 2023 around the theme “Change Starts Here. Be Ready For It.” The 55,000 square-foot Volvo booth, F8926 in the Festival Grounds, will feature the company’s newest products, cutting-edge services and technology offerings in a dedicated Solutions Hall, and areas where attendees can test […]
Piston pump technology ensures power and efficiency
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor A hydraulic pump is literally the heartbeat of your hydraulic system. If you’re new to hydraulics, you’d be surprised at how many ways you can push fluid under pressure. The rotating and/or reciprocating of gears, vanes or pistons offer a designer constrained by any performance or budget envelope the options […]

Efficient fluid maintenance is core to sustainability
IFPE conference programming will take in-depth looks at fluid cleanliness and life to ensure sustainable, efficient systems. As noted in my FluidLines column, both IFPE and CONEXPO-CON/AGG have a special focus on sustainability throughout the show floor and conference program. Several sessions will take looks at digitalization, electrification, and autonomy as solutions to creating more […]
Sustainable machine designs top Bauma innovations
While many compact machines boast all-electric systems, several prototype designs feature alternative options to power larger, heavier-duty equipment. At Bauma this past October, most mobile machinery makers touted new or prototype designs that feature low-carbon, sustainable systems. Electrification was a hot topic as it has been, but all-electric designs were mostly limited to compact machinery. […]
