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…
Singer Industrial partners with Filtration & Hose Specialties
Singer Industrial announced the acquisition of Filtration & Hose Specialties, LLC (FHS), an industrial supply business headquartered in Abilene, Texas, with additional locations in Cleburne and Odessa. The acquisition expands Singer Industrial’s presence in Texas and strengthens its ability to support customers across West Texas. Founded in 2006 by Loy “Jimo” Garner, FHS has grown…
Webtec appoints Hydraulic Supply Co. as authorized US distributor
Webtec has announced a new distribution agreement with Hydraulic Supply Co. (HSC). The partnership will see HSC carry the full range of Webtec products across its extensive network of over branch and service locations. HSC brings over 75 years of fluid power expertise to the relationship, having been founded in 1947 in Miami Springs, Florida…
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. Built on a […]
October 2026 Issue: Shining a light on pressure intensifiers
A note from the editor In our October issue of Fluid Power World, my commentary takes a look at the growing role of automation and sensors in mobile machinery, where OEMs are increasingly focused on automating specific functions and improving machine performance rather than chasing fully autonomous equipment. Josh Cosford gets cheeky comparing the auto…
Compressed air fail: The pressure drop that wasn’t a filter problem
By Ron Marshall Jeff had been a maintenance technician long enough to know that low-pressure complaints rarely arrived alone. When one operator reported sluggish pneumatic cylinders, others usually followed with complaints about weak air tools, slow actuators, and inconsistent machine performance. That was exactly what happened one Monday morning in the assembly area, where production […]
Type 625 volume booster provides faster response and stable valve control
ControlAir LLC has released its type 625 volume booster, a compact pneumatic relay designed to improve the speed and performance of pneumatic control valve actuators. These pressure regulation devices use pilot pressure rather than a spring or adjustment thread to provide force balance when opening the supply valve. Installed between a valve positioner and pneumatic […]
Bailey previews software-defined force feedback joystick capability
At iVT in August, Bailey International previewed an interactive force feedback joystick prototype that explores a new approach to operator controls: changing how a joystick feels and responds through software. Previewed at the 2026 iVT Off-Highway Expo, the prototype demonstrates adjustable force resistance, centering feel, virtual gates and detents, and haptic cues. These settings can […]

Energy Efficiency in Hydraulics: Challenges and Solutions
Hydraulic systems are a fundamental technology in manufacturing and industrial operations. Widely used in applications such as metal forming, plastics processing, heavy equipment, and automated production lines, hydraulics are valued for their high-power density, robustness, and reliability. As energy efficiency becomes an increasingly important consideration across industries, attention is turning toward how hydraulic systems can…

Fundamentals of tube bending for hydraulic power units
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor I’ve been in the fluid power industry for over two decades, and I’ve made precisely one hydraulic tube, which was an assignment for one of my hydraulic classes at Mohawk College. Despite my personal lack of man-hours bending tubes, every hydraulic professional should understand the principles of tube bending. I’m […]
