Attendees and exhibitors from across the globe are getting ready to make their way to CONEXPO-CON/AGG and the International Fluid Power Exposition (IFPE) next March, after government and corporate travel restrictions have either been reduced or eliminated since the 2020 show. With North America having one of the largest construction industries in the world, exhibitors […]
Pneumatics is a fluid power technology similar to hydraulics in that it transmits force through a pressurized medium to create useful work. However, pneumatic technology differs from hydraulics in every critical fashion — compressibility. To be fair, hydraulic oil compresses as well, but only 0.4 percent every thousand psi or so. However, in the simplest […]
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Rotary actuators are devices used to transmit torque through a limited rotational arc. Rather than pneumatic motors, which rotate continuously, pneumatic rotary actuators move a load through a limited range of motion. Some actuators rotate through two discrete positions, while others are capable of positioning at any angle around the […]
A compressed air auditor placed data loggers on a single compressor system with a fixed cycle heatless desiccant dryer. The pressure at the compressor discharge and dry storage tank was also measured, along with the compressor input amps. On examination of the system profile, it was determined the compressor was rapid-cycling due to lower than […]

The European Union aims to expand the capacity for wind power generated at sea to at least 60 GW by 2030. With its sealing solutions for the foundation structures, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies helps ensure that new wind turbines reach a service life of at least 30 years or more despite the rough conditions at sea. […]
Question: On our air compressor, we have a drain at the bottom of what looks like a filter, located after the air cooler. The drain failed so we turned it off … how important is it anyway? Answer: Here is the data you need to know about condensed water flow in compressed air systems (taken from […]
UNIFLEX has launched two new machines for cutting industrial hoses. The EMI 150 and EMI 200 models can cut hoses with diameters up to 6 in. and 8 in., respectively. With their robust design and compact dimensions of 44.9 x 40 in. (1,140 x 1,000 mm) and 63.77 x 42.1 in. (1,620 x 1,070 mm), they can be […]
Sun Hydraulics (Sun), a Helios Technologies (Helios) company, introduced ENERGEN, a unique cartridge valve that converts hydraulic flow into electric energy. ENERGEN is a new product in the recently announced ecoline program and a direct result of a long-standing focus on quality, performance, and innovation. “We are delivering innovation by capitalizing on our expertise in […]
ControlAir, a leading manufacturer of precision pneumatic and electro-pneumatic control products, announced the new Type 855BP Miniature Back Pressure Regulator. Type 855BP is a compact relief valve that provides economical, high-performance pressure relief with an adjustable set point. The valve is normally closed and will remain closed until the inlet pressure exceeds the regulator’s set […]
