Even when workers follow job site safety protocols to a T, emergencies can happen. And when working with large, powerful machines in dangerous or challenging environments, things can become catastrophic quickly. However, there is one small but critical machine component that can help minimize equipment damage, limit project downtime and keep workers safe – the […]

IQAN-G12 module enables faster and easier remote machine access
The Electronic Motion & Controls Division (EMC) of Parker Hannifin has released IQAN-G12, a CAN gateway module that uses Bluetooth wireless technology for IQAN system diagnostics on-site or remotely. The new IQAN-G12 offers a faster download speed, increased connectivity range and greater security than the predecessor module it replaces, the IQAN-G11, making it easier, quicker […]
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 […]
Complete electrification system for mobile machinery
At MinExpo last fall, Parker Hannifin’s Hydraulic Pump and Power Systems Division released a complete electrification system spotlighting its new GVM310 global vehicle motor and P1M series mobile open-circuit, medium-pressure axial-piston pump. The GVM310 is a powerful, rugged, electric vehicle motor for both heavy on and off-road vehicles, engineered for traction and electrohydraulic pumps (EHP) […]
Series V16 variable-displacement, bent-axis motors for mining needs
The Hydraulic Pump and Power Systems Division of Parker Hannifin Corp., highlighted the Pump & Motor Division Europe’s new Series V16 motor at MINExpo earlier in the fall. Series V16 is a new generation of variable displacement, bent-axis motors and a further development of Parker’s V12 and V14 bent axis motor series. The Series V16 […]
Hydraulic and pneumatic Colorflow valves adapt to digital age
Contributed by Mike Giammo, product sales manager, and Mitch Eichler, business development manager, Parker’s Hydraulic Valve Div. Parker Colorflow valves have been a global standard in industrial and mobile applications for more than 60 years. The exclusive colored rings found on metering, flow control and needle valves provide users highly visible checkpoints that allow for […]
Steer-by-wire valve for mobile machinery applications
Parker Hannifin has launched a mobile directional control valve that can be used in a steer-by-wire system for earth-moving equipment and other types of mobile machinery. This high-performance single fault tolerant valve is designed to support the ongoing evolution and trend for electrification of vehicles in this market. Over the years, orbitrol steering has become […]
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 […]
Smart sensor enhances material handling systems closed-loop control
Mobile equipment manufacturers are always striving to get the most out of their machines without overburdening the system with costly and complex mechanics. Moreover, performance expectations are not only shaping machine needs but also safety requirements. Consequently, this has driven many engineers to design closed-loop systems featuring electronic sensors as feedback devices. For example, manufacturers […]
Tilting coupler technology helps in construction application
Ray Clapp, owner of Coast Range Construction, Homer, Alaska, was searching for a way to increase efficiency on job sites. Coast Range specializes in setting foundations for lodges and cabins as well as performing house-site development for contractors. Homer has very little flat ground to build on. Terrain ranges from sea level up to 1,400 […]
