What is a telescopic hydraulic cylinder?
Telescopic hydraulic cylinders, sometimes called multi-stage cylinders, are a type of linear actuator consisting of a series of tubular rods called sleeves. The sleeves (usually four or five) sequentially decrease in diameter and are nested inside of each other. Once hydraulic pressure is introduced to the cylinder, the largest sleeve (called the main or barrel) […]
A primer on hydraulic hose construction
Hydraulic hose is one of the least considered components of a high-pressure fluid power system; however, its habit of being overlooked does not reduce its importance. Any machine with actuators attached to moving segments requires flexible plumbing, and that plumbing is hydraulic hose. Hydraulic hose has come a long way with regards to pressure limit […]
Improved controller for Rexroth Active Heave Compensation enhances system performance
Bosch Rexroth has introduced an upgrade to the electrohydraulic controller used on the company’s A4VSO and A4VSG hydraulic axial piston components, which function as secondary control units in the Rexroth Active Heave Compensation (AHC) system for offshore winching applications. Replacing the previous DS1 model, the new Rexroth DS2R electrohydraulic controller features proportional valve technology for […]
Engine actuator controller designed for rugged applications
The On Engine Actuator Controller features two control inputs, CAN communications and one current controlled output to drive actuator coils up to 3A. It allows for flexible use of sensor inputs wired directly or coming from the CAN network. It is suitable for mounting in a high temperature location up to 125°C and can be […]
Highly customized hydraulics delivered in one week
Danfoss Power Solutions has launched the Rapid Delivery Center (RDC) Program. Danfoss Rapid Delivery Center distributors offer delivery of highly customized hydraulic components in about a week, enabling OEMs to bring machines to market faster. The RDC Program will follow a step-wise approach with initial focus on certain Danfoss products and solutions. During 2015, the […]
Tobul Piston Accumulators suitable for industrial and mobile applications
Tobul Accumulator has developed several distinct families of standard piston-type products, based on physical dimensions, MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure), and fluid volumes. Tobul accumulators can be adapted with, a variety of raw materials (carbon steel, stainless steel and special alloys), seal configurations and compounds (Buna-N, EPR, Viton, Kalrez, Teflon, etc.), and fluid and gas […]
Mini-bellypack wireless transmitter features configurable displays
Kar-Tech’s COMPACT Series is a small, powerful mini-bellypack wireless transmitter that is highly configurable with many switches, joysticks, and displays for OEM applications. An ARM processor based circuit board, solid aluminum rails, and a gasket-sealed, glass-filled nylon enclosure make this transmitter equally smart and durable. Like all Kar-Tech products, this COMPACT remote is manufactured in […]
Modular Spring-Damper Isolators protect in variety of applications
Severe vibration inputs to a relatively sensitive object are often attenuated by a base isolation or isolated platform system. The object to be protected is placed on a foundation or platform that is free to move in the direction of the vibratory input, and springs or spring-damper combinations are added between the isolated object and […]
KTI introduces new design
Kocsis Technologies, Inc. (KTI) has developed a piston accumulator design to address the issues of offshore accumulator service. This patent pending design, LockboxTM, reduces disassembly times of piston accumulators from weeks to minutes. A prototype has been manufactured and tested. The results have proven that the unit not only works as intended but it can […]
