Additional features include: Hardened body and spool for maximum service life Innovative damping features to extend service life Internal leakage less than 100 cc/min @ 3,000 psi Multiple preload pressure settings…

HYDAC is pleased to announce the introduction of the RFB compact series filter – the newest member of the HYDAC Air-X return line filter series. Appropriate for small to medium flow rates, the filter will be sold in five sizes ranging from 45 – 260 lpm. The flow of the filter is inward to outward […]

HYDAC is pleased to announce the introduction of the VFL Indicator with smart sensor technology. The indicator uses a highly engineered algorithm in combination with learning-capable software to provide the most advanced filter element predictive maintenance. The algorithm, developed from extensive hydraulic and lube oil lab and field experience, collects ΔP, temperature and hours of […]

HYDAC is pleased to announce the introduction of the LM06W series of manually operated poppet valves. The series has a number of benefits to the user, which include: Push to operate, spring return Normally closed poppet valve Leak tight even at high pressures Robust simple operation Use for emergency pilot apply/release for safe equipment operation […]

Hydraulic accumulators store energy, enhance the performance of fluid-power systems and provide for emergency backup functions. An accumulator consists of a separation element (bladder, piston or diaphragm) that divides gas and fluid sections. The energy storage capacity is directly affected by the precharge pressure of nitrogen gas inside an accumulator. In a presentation at IFK […]

Hydac is pleased to introduce the ultra compact DW06V series of pressure compensating valves. The screw-in cartridge, pressure sensing compensator is rated for 5,000 psi and 4 gpm and offers the following features and benefits: Connect inline with a fixed or variable orifice to provide accurate flow regulation Ideal for handling small flow control needs with great […]

Hydac is pleased to announce the introduction of the new PWK06J series of proportional directional control valves. The series is currently available in Motor Spool “J,” with a closed center option to follow. Though the size is small, the features are big and include: Compared to any other 3-position, 4-way proportional directional valve, this is […]

Hydac is pleased to announce that their TTControl 500 family of high-end controllers, the HY-TTC 500, has received ISO 26262:2018 certification for functional safety up to ASIL C fro TÜV Nord. This means that the same high level of functional safety needed for off-highway machinery such as cranes, construction equipment and material handling equipment can […]

The HPK06SE series hydraulically operated directional control valve from Hydac is quite possibly the world’s smallest 5-port pilot-operated spool valve. The screw-in cartridge design is a 3-way, 2-position, flow control valve rated to 5,000 psi and 3.5 gpm. The pilot operated spool valve uses the HYDAC FC06-5 cavity. It features three work ports, separate pilot […]

Thanks to strong R&D activities in the field of tank optimization and, in particular, degassing of hydraulic fluids, engineers at Hydac have developed a new filter line. The products include a refined housing design and flow based on an in-to-out concept. In-to-out filtration helps ensure low outlet velocity and minimizes turbulence in the tank. Integrated […]

Edge-welded metal bellows accumulators are at the cutting edge of hydro-pneumatic accumulator technology, according to Peter Kloft and Daniel Rau, research and development engineers with HYDAC Technology in Sulzbach/Saar, Germany. Compared with other designs such as diaphragm, bladder and piston accumulators, the gas chamber in metal-bellows units is usually hermetically sealed and the metallic barrier […]

Accumulators are pressurized vessels that hold fluid under pressure. This stored energy can be called upon to boost energy to a system when needed, then recharged to store it again. This stored energy can be dangerous; proper care should be taken to ensure pressure and temperatures are kept under control. Several small yet critical accessories…

Nobody likes a micromanager. A boss constantly looking over your shoulder is at best annoying and more often counterproductive, demotivating and the root cause of high turnover. Yet in recent head-scratching news, Amazon has patented a tracking wristband that monitors a worker’s every move and vibrates when they do something wrong. Ostensibly, Amazon warehouse personnel […]

Since May 2002, pressure vessels that are manufactured for sale into the European Union are required to conform to the rules established by the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), also known as “CE.” The PED sets out the standards for the design and fabrication of pressure equipment and other components and assemblies subject to pressure loading. HYDAC’s Accumulator manufacturing facility […]
