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 […]
Simplified hydraulic pumps for the low speed, high torque market
Using mechanical energy produced by a machine’s engine, a hydraulic pump can move hydraulic fluid from the pump’s own reservoir to a connected hydraulic motor, converting the mechanical energy to hydraulic energy. The incoming fluid/energy triggers the hydraulic motor to begin rotation, which can be used to actuate a component outside the system, such as […]
Parker Aerospace Group, Lufthansa Technik announce agreement for Airbus A350 support, service
Parker Aerospace, a business group of Parker Hannifin Corp., has announced an agreement with Lufthansa Technik for long-term collaboration for Airbus A350 component maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. The agreement, being announced at MRO Europe 2017, covers the majority of repairable components for the Parker-designed A350 fuel, hydraulic, and fuel tank inerting systems. The […]
Parker launches cloud-based solution to track solar panels
Parker Hannifin has launched its new SCOUT Cloud Software and SensoNODE Gold Sensors, which provide a wireless, remote monitoring solution. By monitoring the pressure levels of the solar panel tracking system’s hydraulic loads, end users can calculate how much extra pressure is being put on the panels. That information helps them identify individual panels that […]
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 […]
