The new directional control valve type ROLV from HAWE Hydraulik is a directional valve and shut-off valve in one. With a CETOP 3 standard connection pattern it can be integrated directly into valve banks as a flexible control block. Connection blocks for direct pipeline installation are also available. In use, the machine designer and plant…
Compact servo power units offer decentralization, efficiency
Several important trends are affecting the world of fluid power and, specifically, hydraulic power units. According to Axel Schwerdtfeger, CTO of HAWE Hydraulik, based in Munich, Germany, one important area involves digitalization and connectivity in systems. Also, electrification of mobile machines is on the rise, and thus miniaturization and decentralization of power packs — bringing…
New valve option facilitates CAN bus communication
The PSL series of directional spool valves from HAWE North America, Charlotte, N.C., are noted for a modular design that combines all actuation functions in one control block, making it individually adaptable to specific application requirements. The capabilities of these proportional-directional valves have now been extended, thanks to the new actuation option: CAN Lite. The […]
Clamp your way to energy savings
Clamping is critical when machining parts. Without proper clamping, the slightest wrong move turns a potential part into scrap. An option for clamping is the NSMD clamping module, which ensures clamping in a variety of applications. The clamping module uses a three-phase motor and frequency converter to power the constant delivery pump. Radial piston pumps,…
