Interesting prespectives on the expansion of the markets for fluid power components. It helps marketers to have some grasp on where the globalization of the fluid power industry might be going. The ideas are taken from presentations at the recent NFPA Annual Conference....More

Powerful hydraulic drives keep waterways clear by pulling debris from the water and transporting it miles away....More

F22H stainless-steel coalescing filter protects sensitive equipment by removing oil from compressed hydrocarbon gas or compressed air in corrosive environments, such as offshore oilrigs, refineries and chemical plants....More

Hydraulics moves the ramps and platforms that allow a single carrier to hold multiple cars. Naturally, heavy loads are involved, and the hose must tolerate brutal over-the-road conditions. Typically, car carriers have relied on SAE 100R1 hydraulic hose for pressures to 2250 psi for 3⁄8-in. hose (to 2000 psi for 1⁄2-in. hose) and SAE 100R2 for pressures to 4000 psi for 3⁄8-in. hose (3500 for 1⁄2-in. hose). However, the pressure rating for one manufacturer’s proprietary hydraulic hose is 2750 psi for the  3⁄8-in....More

AST46HA series of explosion-proof pressure transmitters offer extended pressure ranges up to 20,000 psi, for use in high-pressure offshore applications. Thick diaphragms and silicon strain gauges offer high repeatability. Fail mode indicator option allows users to choose an output signal that rails or drops during a fault condition....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

To keep vegetation safely off rail lines, Rail Construction Equipment Co. designed a unique brush cutter that uses a hydraulically-powered John Deere 120D excavator to drive the rail car chassis, eliminating chain drives and necessary maintenance. The compact hydrostatic drive is safer and more versatile than other designs....More

Chelsea 877 series PTO features a compact housing that provides generous clearance. Two assembly arrangements maximize installation possibilities. High capacity bearings and gear designs provide torque ratings to 670 lb-ft. It offers a 10-bolt mounting pattern that will fit on most automatic transmissions. One hose is required for a simplified installation. Eight internal gear ratios are rated for a variety of speeds....More

Scania buses are internationally recognized for their high fuel economy, reliability, and low impact on the environment. However, a standard electrohydraulic fan drive system from Sauer-Danfoss has a central role in keeping up Scania’s reputation for top performance on the road....More

The lost city of Machu Picchu is perhaps the most familiar relic of the Incan civilization. Built around 1450 and situated nearly 8000 ft above sea level on a mountain ridge in Peru, it is so isolated that it was relatively unknown to the outside world until the early 20th century....More
