Electronic controls for P1/PD series piston pumps optimize hydraulic performance and efficiency in mobile and industrial open-circuit applications. They are available with or without a programmed electronic unit (ECU). Basic functions include fan control, proportional displacement and pressure controls, and overcenter capability for energy recovery applications.

Reducing noise in the workplace has become a necessity for many companies, and both industrial and mobile hydraulic systems have been identified as significant contributors. One of the main generators of noise in a hydraulic system is the pump and the pulsating flow it produces. A new pump that uses helical gearing creates a single point of contact between teeth, thus reducing noise and fluid pulsation....More

Hydraulic Fun & Teaching Fluid Power with Hennepin Technical College Alan Hitchcox of Hydraulics & Pneumatics magazine talks to Ernie Parker of Hennepin Technical College about just how much fun you can have with hydraulics, including go-carts and a mobile picnic table....More

When is a harvester more than a harvester? When it also separates the grapes from their stems and sorts the grapes. A trimming tool can also be used to prune the vines. Such is the case with grape harvesters from Pellenc SA, Pertuis, France. Pellenc manufactures multiple lines of harvester trimmers, and other equipment for owners and operators of vineyards. Pellenc’s machines are designed for maximum crop yield by taking advantage of closed-loop electrohydraulic control for propulsion, harvesting, and cleaning....More

Digga dubs itself Australia’s premier attachment manufacturer. But these aren’t just empty words. Established in 1981, Digga pioneered pendulum drilling in Australia and is Australia’s leading manufacturer of planetary drive boring and trenching attachments for construction and other heavy industries. Digga offers more than 80 different attachments, an extensive line of replacement parts, and service....More

Engineered Power System (EPS) program allows for quick and easy customization of hydraulic power units. Basic platforms include flows to 30 gpm and pressures to 3000 psi, with horizontal or vertical pump-motor mounts....More

Portable air hydraulic pump is designed for use with hydraulic vises, cluster towers and swing clamps. Rated for pressures to 5000 psi, it provides constant hydraulic pressure and holding power for precision clamping applications. It is driven by an efficient air motor and operated with an easy-to-use foot pedal....More

YPGC/YPGC-A planetary drives are made of 60% steel, about 35% cast iron and a lower percentage of aluminum, copper, rubber and brass. YPGC planetary gear units are divided into 21 groups that transmit torque to the output shaft ranging from 350 to 500,000 lb-ft. Modular construction permits coupling of bevel gears, worm gears, hydraulic brakes and input shafts to planetary units....More

New Genie S-40 Trax and S-45 Trax telescopic booms, from Terex Aerial Work Platforms, Redmond, Wash., are now available with the company’s four-point Trax track drive system. By using four triangular track drives instead of wheels, the machines are better equipped to tackle uneven terrain, especially under a wide variety of soil conditions. And unlike full-length track drives on skid-steer machines, the triangular track drives cause less damage to sensitive ground surfaces, making the S-40 and S-45 able to take on almost any surface....More
