Efficiency is a key design criteria for almost all components and systems on a piece of heavy-duty equipment—as well as for the machine itself. Hydraulics are one of the many areas in which ...

The design and construction of a large central hydraulic system involves some obvious and not-so-obvious considerations. To ensure optimum performance, reliability, and durability, pay close attention ...

In the nearly 40 years since electronic control systems first became common features of industrial machines, controls theory has necessarily evolved to keep pace with machine design. Early on, systems ...

Hydraulic Principles and System Design provides an overview of the process used to design a basic hydraulic system. Hydraulic system design requires familiarity with the components of a hydraulic ...

A fitting definition of a modern performance car might just be one that has superior control over every system. EFI offers outstanding digital mastery over fuel and spark and it could be said that ...

Hydraulic engineering and flow dynamics are at the forefront of modern research and application, encompassing the study of water behaviour in natural and engineered systems. This field integrates ...

Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure, and hoses and assemblies have a shelf life. When improperly stored, installed and/or serviced, hoses and parts can become damaged and spray hot, highly ...

Hydraulic door closers may seem like small components but they play a key role in comfort, safety and durability. By using controlled resistance and spring balance, they ensure that doors close ...

With gas prices reaching record highs recently, consumers have already endured pain at the pumps, but it’s really just a twinge compared to the pain operators of heavy-duty vehicle fleets feel. The ...
