Electric-hydraulic hybrid systems reduce emissions in refuse collection vehicles
Hybrid systems bridge the road to electrification with small batteries and readily available components. Electrification aims to eliminate vehicle emissions that degrade air quality and negatively impact public health. From a technical standpoint, electrification makes sense for light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as cars and small construction equipment. However, electrification is more complex for larger […]
Parker advances mobile industry developments
At this year’s Conexpo/IFPE, a number of major manufacturers canceled their presence due to the risks associated with COVID-19. Parker Hannifin was among that group. An IFPE without Parker or any of the other large fluid power companies means attendees were not provided the chance to learn what these innovators were planning to showcase at […]
Closed-circuit variable displacement pump for medium-duty applications
One of the new product highlights at ICUEE this week from the Hydraulic Pump and Power Systems Division of Parker Hannifin Corp., was its new PC3, a variable displacement axial piston pump designed to excel in medium duty applications. The PC3 was launched earlier this year. This high performing, robust compact solution was built to […]
Next-generation electrohydraulic controls for off-road machines
Integrated hardware and software replace traditional mobile-hydraulic control systems. Today’s mobile-equipment manufacturers, for the most part, face a number of common challenges. OEMs want to streamline engineering and production processes yet build machines that are highly efficient, reliable and productive. And, increasingly, their customers want to monitor and track how these products operate—to ensure they […]
C Series variable displacement piston pumps
The Hydraulic Pump and Power Systems Div. of Parker Hannifin Corp. manufactures the C Series Variable Displacement Piston Pumps. The Parker C Series has been designed for use in closed-circuit hydrostatic applications and features a rugged swash plate and bearing design. It offers a full range of controls, such as a manual lever with feedback, hydraulic […]
Parker releases direct-operated D1FC/D3FC proportional DC valve series
Parker Hannifin has completed its range of direct operated proportional DC valves with the new zero lap spools for the D1FC/D3FC series introduced last year. This option makes the use of the valves for closed loop controls possible. Parker is positioning its direct operated valve series with high dynamics and high volumetric flows between the […]
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 […]
High-performance controllers for real-time hydraulic control
The IQAN-MC4x family of master controllers from the Electronic Controls Div. of Parker Hannifin is designed for hydraulic systems in vehicles and machinery using a 12/24 Vdc power supply. Three different versions handle a wide range of system requirements. The IQAN-MC41 is for economical task-oriented control; the MC42 for mid-size applications and I/O distribution; and […]
Parker expands mobile-controls offerings
The Electronic Controls Div. of Parker Hannifin recently introduced several additions to its IQAN portfolio of hardware and software products, intended to improve performance and simplify the control of mobile-equipment hydraulics. Unlike mechanical and electromechanical systems, the IQAN system takes an electronic approach to controlling and monitoring hydraulics in mobile machines. It includes a wide […]
