Modular valve system embodies design flexibility
The modular valve system RPEK1-03/B from ARGO-HYTOS, Baar, Switzerland, is a flexible system suited for a wide range of applications in mobile and stationary machinery. The RPEK1-03 (size 03) sectional directional valve, with a maximum flow of 20 l/min (5.3 gpm) per section is the basic component of the assembly. Thanks to a large number […]
Cartridge proportional valves for mobile transmissions
The ever-increasing demand for fuel efficiency and emissions reduction continues to spur the need for more efficient and reliable drive systems in mobile, construction and agricultural machinery. These applications require precise, customizable controls, especially regarding the powertrains. ARGO-HYTOS, Kraichtal, Germany, offers innovative powertrain valve systems that help OEMs and equipment users increase reliability, efficiency, performance […]
Modularity for mobile hydraulics
The demands placed on a modern hydraulic system in mobile working machines are varied, but important considerations include reliability, energy efficiency, ease of maintenance and a compact design. Control blocks from Argo-Hytos, Zug, Switzerland, combine standard and application-specific components and provide the flexibility necessary for efficient systems. Different designs, sizes and control strategies can be […]
Hydraulic valves for explosive atmospheres
Potentially explosive mixtures of gas, vapor, mist or dust aren’t unusual in many chemical and petrochemical plants or, for example, in mines. Thus, it is necessary to ensure a high level of protection against explosion for every component on equipment used in these industries, according to officials at ARGO-HYTOS, Zug, Switzerland. When using hydraulic components, […]
Argo-Hytos launches screw-in cartridge valves for mobile and industrial use
Argo-Hytos’s screw-in cartridge program offers a wide function range for mobile and industrial hydraulics for control of flow direction and pressure in a hydraulic circuit. The most common applications include agricultural machines, construction equipment, municipal vehicles, machine tools and wind power plants etc. Hydraulics users are looking for reliability, increased operating comfort, and reduced TCO (Total […]
Pitching vibration damping for wheel loaders
Over the years, driving speeds of construction vehicles have steadily risen. Even the small- and medium-sized machines for material handling and transport (wheel loaders and telescopic loaders) have followed this trend. Today, operators reach speeds of over 30 km/hr when driving on roads. If a wheel loader drives over a bump, the resulting shock is […]
Return-suction filtration helps self-propelled harvesting machine
Edited by: Mike Santora • Associate Editor Since the launch of the return-suction filter from Argo-Hytos, this filter concept for mobile machines has become a standard in many applications because its functional improvements lower system and maintenance costs. A common example is in the hydraulic system of a beet harvester, which typically consists of a […]
OPCount particle counter for mobile and stationary equipment
The latest generation of OPCount particle counters from Argo-Hytos can be used for stationary and mobile operation. The high measuring accuracy of the OPCount, in connection with the possibility to display the measured particle concentration according to all current standards, allows it to be used in a variety of applications. Measurement can be carried out […]
Reliable Plant exhibition focuses on industrial fluid systems
Clean, dry hydraulic fluid is the lifeblood of any hydraulic system. And keeping all gear oils, lubricants and other fluids within an industrial system contaminant-free is critical to efficient and reliable machinery. That’s why there is an entire trade show and technical conference dedicated to these technologies each year, called Reliable Plant, sponsored by Noria […]
