Heightened concerns over climate change and global warming are key reasons for the growing interest in zero-emission vehicles. Battery-electric mobile machines, while still mainly in the prototype stage, may require hydraulic-pumps and variable-speed drives to evolve to suit future applications. Hydraulic pumps are high-performance components. However, according to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, Klettgau, Germany, they […]
Safe and reliable control of large flows
The CINDY family of cartridge valves from Bucher Hydraulics, Klettgau, Germany, has been proven for decades in countless industrial and mobile applications. That, according to company officials, is due to features such as extremely low leakage, finger-tip controllability and load-independent cylinder travel behavior. Bucher Hydraulics has now expanded its well-established CINDY technology offerings with the […]
Cartridge directional valves feature internal monitoring
Based on tried and tested cartridge-type directional seat valves, Bucher Hydraulics has developed a comprehensive valve family with a reliable system for monitoring operating position. The modular design reportedly lets users create individualized systems using high-performance valves that meet extreme requirements in mobile and industrial hydraulics—whether the focus is on energy efficiency, power density, intelligence […]
Bucher offers mini power pack
Engineers at Bucher Hydraulics have developed the UP40 mini power pack with the aim of bringing hydraulic control closer to the drive while providing a more-compact envelope. Compared to other products on the market, the UP40’s dimensions have been reduced to a minimum, said company officials. The external dimensions of 80 × 80 mm (3.15 […]
Bucher flow dividers offer higher precision
With a deviation of just 1.5%, new flow dividers from Bucher Hydraulics, Klettgau, Germany, offer higher precision compared to their more-conventional counterparts. The new versions complement an extensive product family of the company’s MT series of flow dividers. These automatically operating units split a volume flow into two part-flows that can vary within certain limits. […]
Bucher safety valves deliver energy savings
Safety valves are critical for protecting equipment and personnel. And, according to officials at Bucher Hydraulics, Neuheim, Switzerland, they can also play a major role in the global competitiveness of mobile machines like cranes and excavators when the focus is on high performance and availability. The company offers an extensive portfolio of safety valves that […]
New fluid power products on the horizon at The Work Truck Show
Each March, work truck dealers, fleet managers, equipment manufacturers and distributors come together in Indianapolis at The Work Truck Show. Produced by NTEA – The Association for the Work Truck Industry, this year’s event is slated for March 14-17 and coincides with the Green Truck Summit on clean energy innovations as well. The event includes […]
Bucher Hydraulics develops non-return valves with 50% higher flow
Global competition and increasing cost pressures have raised expectations for every aspect of hydraulic systems. According to officials at Bucher Hydraulics, that’s why it pays to review even the smallest elements of a circuit, such as non-return valves. These valves must work continuously and reliably with long lives, combine a compact design with high performance […]
