Acquisition Adds Unique Application Expertise to Accelerate Adoption of Additive Manufacturing 2.0 by Major OEMs in Hydraulics, Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Machinery, and Other Industrial Sectors ...

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 ...

Purdue University professor Monika Ivantysynova and doctoral student Naseem Daher discuss research related to a new hydraulic-steering technology, while graduate student Michael Sprengel looks over ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Actionable insights into research ...

A servovalve is necessary for precise positioning in this hydraulic system. The PI (proportional integral) controller positions the actuator. It uses a table to program the position commands and model ...

Two power steering designs emerged. Linkage assist steering and the integral power steering gear-each use a constant flow, positive displacement hydraulic pump. The pump, belt-driven by the engine, ...

Contrary to what some people think, fluid power systems are capable of very high-performance motion control. And a well-designed, closed-loop hydraulic actuator can do things that motors can't do ...

IoT expertise in both hydraulics and electric controls is a critical asset in achieving maximum productivity and performance from electro-hydraulic components in real-world applications. I keep ...
