Even when workers follow job site safety protocols to a T, emergencies can happen. And when working with large, powerful machines in dangerous or challenging environments, things can become catastrophic quickly. However, there is one small but critical machine component that can help minimize equipment damage, limit project downtime and keep workers safe – the […]

Parker’s Critical Protection (CP) hose cover establishes a new standard for preventing hose failure. CP prevents damage to the hose cover by incorporating a patent pending technology that prevents breakage. Other less effective options are used today, but they limit hose flexibility, increase the labor needed to build and install the hose, make routing difficult, […]

Parker Hannifin showcased a variety of technologies at IFPE 2023. The booth featured new and evolved products in their smart electrification technology portfolio aimed at enabling battery-powered machines. Though Parker is known for hydraulics, the company has been creating electric components and integrating hydraulics into electric systems for almost 40 years. At IFPE, Parker displayed…

Ergonomics, safety, efficiency, and refined quality are key themes for hydraulic hose applications these days. Machine builders are looking for hoses that improve service life and fit their exact specifications. Therefore, manufacturers are designing more durable and flexible hose solutions for heavy-duty mobile machines and evolving electro-hydraulic systems. “A hose’s working pressure, flexibility, and lifetime […]

By Shaun Skilton, Product Manager; Andrew Baldwin, Engineering Manager; and Marc Williams, IoT Market Sales Manager, Parker Hannifin Industry statistics show that a whopping 80% of hydraulic system failures are due to contamination. In many of these cases, undetected contaminants of various forms have clogged, blocked, or otherwise damaged fragile hydraulic system components. The result […]

The Electronic Motion & Controls Division (EMC) of Parker Hannifin has released IQAN-G12, a CAN gateway module that uses Bluetooth wireless technology for IQAN system diagnostics on-site or remotely.
