A designer’s guide to hydraulic filters
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor When it comes to hydraulic system design, filters are often overlooked and given the back seat to pumps, valves, and actuators. Such logic ignores the importance of filters in the performance, precision, and reliability of hydraulic systems, and such considerations start with the design of the hydraulic package itself. Your […]
Packaging gets smart: how smart automation tech is helping the packaging industry
Smart technologies, from software-defined machines to digital integration, allow manufacturers to easily maintain machines and predict critical failures and faults before they cause downtime. By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor The packaging industry operates in a world where ultra-high-speed machinery reigns, manufacturers accept razor-thin margins, and versatility is required as products change frequently. From high-speed form-fill-seal machines […]
Danfoss pushes hydraulic hose performance to the Edge
With its new Aeroquip Edge line of hoses, Danfoss Power Solutions has given a comprehensive upgrade to its existing hydraulic hose portfolio. The Edge series provides longer life through tougher covers, a groundbreaking tighter bend radius, extended temperature ratings and more. “The launch of the Aeroquip Edge series is more than a product release,” said […]
Securing a million fasteners in one solar field
Pressure intensifiers ensure high-volume, reliable fastening in solar field installations. Contributed by Victoria Lower, Marketing Manager, IC-Fluid Power Inc. In one utility-scale solar field, there are hundreds of rows of panel frames stretching across miles of open land, each frame held together by dozens of fasteners. On a single project, one machine may need to secure more than…
Piston accumulator fundamentals
Piston accumulators are perhaps the most overlooked of their ilk, often standing out of the spotlight in which diaphragm and bladder accumulators bask. In fact, piston accumulators are superior to other types in more ways than they are inferior, so this article aims to set the record straight on why you should (or shouldn’t) select…

F.lli Giacomello expands its range with the new fluid level indicator
Monitoring a liquid level does not always simply mean knowing whether a tank is full or empty. In many industrial applications, it is necessary to detect multiple thresholds, monitor temperature and use a device that can be configured according to the specific characteristics of the system. This is the need behind IEG-INOX-DN_-PN_, the new electromagnetic […]
HeavyTech redesigns construction machinery from the ground up
What happens when you get a couple of serial entrepreneurs together? They set out to disrupt and reshape the mobile machinery industry. That’s what co-founders Mike Terzo, Andrew Johnson, Ryan Twiss, Nick Darrah and Davide DeSilvio are doing with HeavyTech Inc. as they build completely reimagined construction machines from the ground up.
