When should you use high-pressure motors?
High-pressure motors are able to accomplish more in a smaller package compared to medium-pressure technology. When it comes to enhancing performance of both mobile and stationary hydraulic systems, high-pressure technology can be used to reduce package size, improve starting torque, and reduce system costs. At the end of the day, this means that skid steer […]
Large Tough Coil for construction and agricultural equipment
Eaton has announced its new Large Tough Coil, a valve coil that can withstand environmental exposure, including high temperatures and rain, snow or freezing conditions. Ingress Protection (IP) 69K rated, the Large Tough Coil prevents water leakage which can cause the coil to short and lead to machine downtime until the coil can be repaired […]
