Cylindrical reservoir breaks from convention

Mon, 07 May 2012 18:20:00 +0000

The Cyclone reservoir has a cylindrical shape, and was originally developed and patented for use in hydraulic fan drives for mobile equipment by Price Engineering, Hartland, Wis. Now available for general application, officials at Price Engineering say the Cyclone reservoir reduces fluid volume and associated costs up to 95%.

The dramatically smaller size makes space available for mounting other components in a machine. It also reduces weight and is more environmentally friendly because less fluid is needed in the hydraulic system.

Keep air, dirt, and moisture out of reservoirs

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:00:00 +0000

A hydraulic system’s reservoir may pose the greatest challenge for keeping dirt and moisture out of a system. That’s because fluid level constantly rises and falls as a machine cycles. Fluid leaving the reservoir is replaced by ambient air from the ...
