Fluid power’s green evolution
All indications are that mobile and industrial systems of the future will be more automated and more digitally connected. And many experts contend future systems will also increasingly be low-carbon and electrified. Some construction equipment OEMs, for example, are committed to autonomous control and cloud-based maintenance systems, and next-generation machines that reduce the environmental impact […]
High-efficiency hydraulics for electrically powered machines
Flow-on-Demand systems enable energy-saving mobile drive technology. By Dierk Peitsmeyer, Product Portfolio Manager, Bucher Hydraulics, Klettgau, Germany The Paris Agreement is the landmark environmental accord that aims to address the negative impacts of climate change and substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Although the U.S. will formally withdraw from the Agreement on Nov. 4, nearly […]
New-generation hydraulics for electrically powered machines
Climate-change mitigation and lower CO2 emissions are keen topics of discussion among construction industry OEMs and manufacturers of mobile machines for agriculture, forestry and mining. Which drive systems will be most suitable in the future to meet the demands for high power density and efficient, economical operation with minimal pollutant emissions? Industry expert Dierk Peitsmeyer, […]
Hydraulics powers ultra-high pressure firefighting
HMA Fire, based in Fall River, Wisc., develops fire-fighting equipment and systems for a range of on- and off-road vehicles — from custom mini-pumpers and skid units for ATVs to add-on packages for full-size fire vehicles. Its goal is to make fighting fires safer and more efficient by using ultra-high pressure (UHP) technology. The company […]
