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 ...

Replacing worn-out couplings with the incorrect size can cause unintended consequences. Flow velocity is an important consideration when replacing a larger hydraulic hose inside diameter with a ...

Digital hydraulic systems represent a marked evolution from traditional continuous control methods by harnessing digitally controlled pumps and on/off solenoid valves to achieve rapid, precise, and ...

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 ...

Typical, medium-duty, hydraulic brake system with front discs (red circuit) and rear drums (green circuit). Boost, or assist (blue circuit), is provided by an engine-driven pump, although the power ...

Researchers at Purdue University have shown how to reduce fuel consumption and dramatically improve the efficiency of hydraulic pumps and motors in heavy construction equipment. The new designs ...

Showing off the 3D-printed hydraulics system. (Credit: Indeterminate Design, YouTube) Hydraulics are incredibly versatile, but due to the pressures at which they operate, they are also rather ...
