Differential lock valves improve fuel efficiency and control

March 5, 2024 By Ken Korane

For decades, spool-type flow dividers have proven themselves well in the differential locks of hydraulic traction drives. In recent years, however, the demands of mobile machine operators have risen to a new level. For example, market requirements now include: • More intuitive operation. • Better vehicle control, particularly when driving under difficult conditions. • Optimization […]

Compact check valves fit tight installation spaces

November 13, 2023 By Ken Korane

Check valves are proven components that allow media to flow in only one direction and prevent backflow in the opposite direction — similar to diodes in electrical applications. For years, the engineers at Bucher Hydraulics based in Dachau, Germany, have continuously optimized this unobtrusive component, which is often concealed inside hydraulic blocks. For instance, the […]

IFPE 2023 wrap-up: Bucher introduces Smart PowerPack

April 11, 2023 By Ken Korane

Increasing concerns over climate change has put a heightened focus on reducing CO2 emissions from heavy vehicles and mobile equipment. Two ways to lower emissions from construction and agricultural machinery, according to most experts, are to minimize idling periods and to embrace demand-based control of auxiliary actuators. According to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, Grand Rapids, […]

Maximum safety for cranes and excavators

January 24, 2023 By Ken Korane

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 […]

Electrohydraulics makes commercial vehicles more eco-friendly

May 5, 2022 By Ken Korane

Environmental regulations for road vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent, and one way to reduce CO2 emissions may be to eliminate mechanical V-belts or power take-offs from future commercial vehicles. Energy-efficient electrohydraulic systems, such as the latest Smart PowerPacks from Bucher Hydraulics, provide a viable alternative. Last year, the EU adopted a European Climate Law with […]

Swing-axle cylinders combine travel comfort with rigid work platform

November 8, 2021 By Ken Korane

Mobile machines have to meet widely differing requirements. To get to a job site, they need good off-road capability. While they are working, however, high rigidity and stability are essential. Add to that are increasingly demanding safety and environmental regulations. Swing-axle cylinders are built to fulfill all these requirements. According to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, […]

Proportional flow control valves for every application

April 26, 2021 By Ken Korane

Proportional flow control valves from Bucher Hydraulics

In hydraulic systems, proportional flow control valves ensure that flow rates remain virtually constant. In doing so, they have to meet a large number of performance criteria that extend beyond their core function. According to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, manufacturers and operators of mobile machines are increasingly placing a special emphasis on energy efficiency. Flow […]
