Adding shuttles to axial piston pumps can substantially increase overall efficiency. Peter Achten, Robin Mommers and Jeroen Potma • INNAS BV, Breda, The Netherlands Given today’s push to limit global warming and embrace a carbon-neutral future, there is a heightened focus on improving the efficiency of industrial and mobile equipment and their underlying fluid power…
Shuttles from Innas highlighted at bauma to save fuel and increase efficiency
Shuttles are probably the most simple and cheapest option to improve the efficiency of hydraulic off-road machinery. As it promoted these devices at bauma 2022 in Munich last week, Innas highlighted that users could save up to 2,000 liters of fuel in an average off-road machine. Shuttles increase the efficiency of hydrostatic pumps and motors. […]
Rating the real performance of hydraulic pumps
Low- and high-speed tests show that pump and motor performance can vary widely, depending on the speed and pressure. That’s critically important in electro-hydraulic actuators and electric-motor drives. Contributed by Peter Achten and Robin Mommers, Innas BV, Breda, The Netherlands Hydraulic component manufacturers generally publish pump and motor data that reflect optimal performance under ideal […]
Hydraulics harnesses offshore wind
A new hydraulic powertrain may pave the way for reliable and economical wind turbines. Offshore wind electricity generation has seen annual growth above 25% in recent years, as global consumers increasingly embrace renewable energy. The U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory predicts accelerated market growth in the next decade, with cumulative capacity rising to nearly 200…
