New rod wiper test method helps protect hydraulic systems
A partnership between Hallite Seals Americas Inc., Wixom, Mich., and The Milwaukee School of Engineering’s Fluid Power Institute (MSOE) has resulted in the development of a new test procedure for assessing the amount of dirt and dust that enters a typical hydraulic system through the rod wiper. According to Hallite, the test for rod wipers […]
Conserving energy and reducing leakage with hydraulic fluids
Leakage and system efficiency are always at the top of fluid power users’ minds. This is why several CCEFP researchers are focusing on how to optimize system sealing and fluids at the Center’s second annual Fluid Power Innovation & Research Conference 14 at the Marriott at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Kicking off a track on […]
