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 ...

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

Hydraulic motors and systems are a cornerstone of modern engineering, converting the energy of pressurised fluids into controlled mechanical work. These systems are integral to diverse applications ...

Converting mechanical energy to fluid form provides the "muscle" in a fluid-power system. The power source is the key element in a fluid-power system. In a pneumatic system the power source is an air ...

Hydraulic systems are employed in mobile, industrial, and aviation applications to convey power to work equipment. They are extremely efficient, compact, and lightweight comparative to a mechanical ...

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 applications rely upon fluid power or pressurized fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. These systems are capable of producing high power and high forces in small volumes and have ...
