Efficiency is a key design criteria for almost all components and systems on a piece of heavy-duty equipment—as well as for the machine itself. Hydraulics are one of the many areas in which ...

The MathWorks has introduced SimHydraulics software for modeling and simulation of hydraulic control systems within the Simulink environment. The new product complements MathWorks software for ...

Up to 90% of all hydraulic system failures can be attributed to contaminated oil, says hydraulic component maker Muncie Power Products, Muncie, Ind. And a recent Canadian study found ...

The design and construction of a large central hydraulic system involves some obvious and not-so-obvious considerations. To ensure optimum performance, reliability, and durability, pay close attention ...

Researchers have shown how to reduce fuel consumption and dramatically improve the efficiency of hydraulic pumps and motors in heavy construction equipment. Researchers at Purdue University have shown ...

Hydraulic Principles and System Design provides an overview of the process used to design a basic hydraulic system. Hydraulic system design requires familiarity with the components of a hydraulic ...

A fitting definition of a modern performance car might just be one that has superior control over every system. EFI offers outstanding digital mastery over fuel and spark and it could be said that ...

Hydraulic engineering and flow dynamics are at the forefront of modern research and application, encompassing the study of water behaviour in natural and engineered systems. This field integrates ...

Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure, and hoses and assemblies have a shelf life. When improperly stored, installed and/or serviced, hoses and parts can become damaged and spray hot, highly ...

An “Equipment Executive” column by Mike Vorster in our June 2015 issue, “The Case for a Fluids Czar,” suggests that managing fluids for today’s technically advanced machines might require some fleets ...
