The typical hydraulic system is cleaned by a single filter in the circuit. Often this filter is located on the inlet line in front of the pump, to protect the pump and downstream components; so used, ...

These hydraulic-over-air relay valves are designed to convert hydraulic modulated input pressure to a proportional output air pressure. Single input design provides one hydraulic pilot port to control ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level tradeoffs of ...

Hidden between a house and a cornfield sits Jimmy Bullard's shop, in rural Walkertown, North Carolina. Like many in the area, Jimmy grew up engulfed in NASCAR racing. He started building race cars ...

Discover the most common hydraulic pump failures, their causes, and how to prevent them. Keep your machinery running smoothly ...

Aeration occurs when air contaminates the hydraulic fluid. Symptoms include foaming of the fluid, erratic actuator movements, and a banging or knocking noise when it compresses and decompresses as it ...

The Mining Safety and Health Administration offers some pretty sobering statistics and investigations. Take one recent incident, for example. A 50-year-old haul truck operator was fatally injured ...

Auto manufacturer Peugeot Citroen has teamed up with Bosch to create a hybrid car that uses hydraulics to capture and transfer energy. For city driving it is estimated that the car will be able to get ...

Hydraulic-over-air relay valves are designed to convert hydraulic-modulated input pressure to a proportional output air pressure. The valves are suited for on and off-highway applications ...
