These benefits can be…

Machine manufacturers are increasingly looking for ways to improve the efficiency of fluid power systems, both for sustainability reasons and for the bottom line. At last month’s NFPA/FPIC quarterly meeting, Neal Gigliotti, Manager, Applications at Bosch Rexroth Corp. discussed some environmentally friendly techniques for advancing industrial machinery designs, and why they’re important. “Making hydraulics eco-friendly…

Manufacturers of mobile machines must decide whether to control their pumps using pressure, torque or swivel angle — and always have to accept compromises as a result. The same applies to numerous other hardware parameters which, once defined, stay the same throughout a machine’s service life. According to Simon Dreher, an excavator industry specialist with […]

Manufacturers from all sectors have recognized that electric drives are an important building block for future viable, sustainable mobile machines. To support and encourage the electrification of off-highway equipment, Bosch Rexroth is now presenting the eLION product portfolio. The eLION family covers a wide range of components, including a full range of electric motor-generators, inverters […]

Bosch Rexroth’s new Subsea Clamping Cylinder protects valuable offshore systems against premature wear, without requiring diving work or a power supply. The device takes into account the complete life cycle of riser systems, whether for transport and storage on the seabed, commissioning and reliable use, or removal and reuse. The Subsea Clamping Cylinder for fully…

Bosch Rexroth’s new CytroForce, introduced at this week’s Hannover Fair, takes hydraulic linear drives to a whole new level, said company officials. The evolutionary concept manages to squeeze previously bulky structures into a smart compact axis for power, movement and positioning tasks. The out-of-the-box system consisting of flow-optimized standard modules reportedly sets new benchmarks in…

In a push toward everything “cutting edge” and “high-tech,” the U.S. Navy in recent years has gone overboard — no pun intended — with the wholesale replacement of proven hydraulic-powered systems with untested electric drives. The results in many cases have been dismal. The $13 billion USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier is the most […]

July 13 to 16, Bosch Rexroth will host a free 4-day virtual event that explores the Factory of the Future. According to company officials, the event will let visitors learn about the new world of versatile, customer-orientated manufacturing that’s based on greater intelligence, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Once registered, participants can join as many sessions as…

Bosch Rexroth has introduced a new online service portal for its Hägglunds hydraulic motors, giving users a single source of information to maintain, repair, modernize or upgrade their equipment with certified specialists and genuine Hägglunds parts. The service portal is accessible from www.boschrexroth-us.com/Hagglunds. With more than 60,000 motors installed globally, Hägglunds low-speed high-torque radial piston…

Bosch Rexroth has introduced the RM10 and RM15 load sensing valve platform that, according to company officials, is easy to apply for today’s functional demands. The product is readily integrated into modern, energy efficient systems and features flexible assembly with no transition plate needed between the two distinct sizes. The new RM10 and RM15, with […]

Connecting machines and industrial facilities with IT systems holds enormous potential for making production more economical, quicker and intuitive. And while some naysayers see IoT as more hype than reality, the engineers at Bosch Rexroth are making it a practical reality. The company’s new CytroBox hydraulic power unit, with its sleek, intelligent and energy-efficient design,…

Like the construction equipment industry as a whole, the Mobile Hydraulics Group of Bosch Rexroth enjoyed a good a year in 2018. “Our efforts to restructure the company and gain market share definitely paid off,” said Bernd Schunk, Senior Vice President Sales for Mobile Hydraulics. “We generated another double-digit increase in revenue, boosted by the […]

Much has been made of connectivity, the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0. For many businesses, condition monitoring offers the greatest potential for this rapidly expanding technology. But the real value comes when condition monitoring evolves into predictive maintenance, according to engineers at Bosch Rexroth. In simple condition monitoring, sensors track equipment performance and alert…

Designers of industrial equipment are continually confronted with demands for lower up-front and operating costs while maintaining or improving overall performance. That’s especially true for hydraulic power units (HPUs) as a core element for supplying flow and pressure for hydraulic actuation systems, according to engineers Bastian Beckmann and Martin Laube of Bosch Rexroth AG, Lohr…

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg public school system in North Carolina officially dedicated the new $200,000 Bosch Rexroth Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Center at the Olympic Community of Schools (OCS) in Southwest Charlotte. The opening of the new center took place on the first day of NC Advanced Manufacturing and STEM Career Awareness Week. The new 2,839-sq.-ft. center…

While the basic design of iron and coke blast furnaces is centuries old, today’s steel makers are looking for ways to produce molten iron with increased production and efficiency. That’s why one of the world’s largest steel producers in China turned to Woodings Industrial, a manufacturer of metals industry equipment, to improve a key blast…

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, N.C. State Officials and Bosch Rexroth are celebrating the grand opening of the $200,000 Advanced Manufacturing & Technology Center as part of new Advanced Manufacturing High School.
