Is the sun rising or setting on the fluid power industry?

December 29, 2016 By Ken Korane

CCEFP_Logo_feature

In his recent “state of the union” presentation on fluid-power research, the director of the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP), Professor Kim A. Stelson of the Univ. of Minnesota, posed that exact question regarding the future of the industry. And in answer, he hedged his bet a bit by stating, “I’m really […]

Bauma and sustainability

April 13, 2016 By Ken Korane

Ghizzoni excavator

While hydraulic and machine performance and value are front and center at Bauma, sustainability is a key theme as well. Since 1991 productivity in the construction machinery sector has been flat in terms of output per hour, signifying the need for more automation, labor saving and worker safety. That’s according to Juergen Weber, head of […]

NFPA to take handlebars of Chainless Challenge

April 12, 2016 By Paul Heney

The annual Chainless Challenge was held in Irvine, Calif. last month, inspiring eight teams of college engineering students to redesign a traditional bicycle using hydraulics as the mode of power transmission. The Challenge was started and supported by Parker Hannifin in 2006, and the NFPA is becoming involved—and will manage (and broaden) the program in […]

Hydraulic controls bring precision and flexibility to force testing

October 15, 2015 By admin

by Rick Meyerhoefer, Delta Computer Systems Dead-weight testing is finally replaced by something decidedly more 21st century. Traditionally, repair facilities test hoists in a pretty straightforward way—they lift heavy loads after the repairs have been completed, to make sure that they operate correctly and to their rated capacities. John Henry Foster Co. (JHF) of St. […]

CCEFP research aims to improve mobile hydraulic efficiency

October 6, 2015 By Mary Gannon

CCEFP-free-piston_engine11

Transportation is one of the largest segment users of energy in the U.S., consuming 30 quadrillion (quads) of BTUs a year. Making up this segment are light-duty and beyond-light-duty transportation vehicles. Light duty refers to the cars that Americans drive every day. Beyond-light duty refers to everything else, from mobile machinery to large trucks. Mobile […]

What manufacturing can learn from Thailand

May 29, 2015 By Paul Heney

Earlier this month, I was part of a journalist delegation to Thailand, the Southeast Asian country that’s probably known more for tourism than industrial engineering prowess. But after a week of touring manufacturing facilities that included such international heavyweights as Caterpillar and Nissan, I left with a new mindset for how industry needs to succeed […]

Q&A with igus’ CEO, Frank Blase

May 5, 2015 By Paul Heney

I had the pleasure of touring the international headquarters of igus just after the Hannover Fair this year, and also was able to sit with company CEO Frank Blase. The facility is enormous, yet intelligently designed—it doesn’t feel like a manufacturing plant, due to the light that comes in through strangely organic looking skylights. Walk […]
