High Speed and Low Speed Parker Gerotor Motors: What are the Differences?
November 22nd, 2018When Low-Speed Parker Geroter Motors run, they deliver massive quantities of torque. It’s this architecture that expedites traction-intensive fluid equipment applications. Tractors, construction equipment, forestry tools, they all benefit from LSHT (Low-Speed High Torque) hydraulic motor configurations. Interestingly, compared to their high-speed cousins, slow rotating gerotors are functionally different from their opposite numbers. Beginning with […]
Reasons Why Hydraulics Equipment Should Be Charged Correctly
November 12th, 2018Focusing once again on the mobile hydraulics sector, the moment has come to talk about equipment charging. Dynamically energizing the hydrostatic feed loop, a charge pump keeps the equipment responsive. After all, like it or not, hydraulic systems become less efficient as their circuits and circuit elements move away from the system’s prime charging unit. […]
Benefits for Adding Composite Construction Cylinders for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
October 29th, 2018There’s a simple mathematical progression that rules fluid technology. Applying the principle to hydraulic and pneumatic systems, it goes something like this: for every high-pressure, super-sized fluid system, a comparable rugged component must be sized and materially matched so that a quoted application functions properly. Enter composite construction cylinders, a technology that puts ultra-rigid cylinder […]
Hydraulic Pressure Intensifiers: How Can They Help Improve Your System Design?
October 16th, 2018Hydraulic pressure intensifiers are built to deliver great quantities of pressure through a smaller than average package. Proven to take lower input energies and convert those fluid energies to higher output pressures, the device doesn’t need to break any laws of fluid thermodynamics when it performs this impressive feat. In reality, an intensifier (also known […]
Can Hydraulic Flange Misalignment Cause Leakage?
September 26th, 2018Across two dimensions, a hydraulic flange misalignment error is causing trouble. The two collars are fastened evenly. All the way around, the bolts clamp the two faces together, with a seal or compound-jointed gasket adding integrity to the joint. Rotationally, however, the “twist” introduced by a rotational misalignment error is causing problems. Worse still, there’s […]
