Gear Pumps and How Do They Work?
June 29th, 2017Gear pumps operate according to a direct coupling principle. In other words, two mechanical components, gears, are meshing inside a shared housing. The primary drive mechanism in this conjoined arrangement is powered by a motor or some other prime mover, then the drive shaft on that mechanism extends into a gearing chamber. A gear is […]
All About Rineer Hydraulic Vane Motors
June 15th, 2017Rineer hydraulic vane motors use a special proprietary vane-crossing design to generate torque. Installed in a hydraulic system, the device echoes the layout of a standard electrical motor, except there are no wires or magnetic poles in the hardened housing, just a mechanical stator and a mounted rotating assembly. Beyond these similarities, Rineer’s unique approach […]
Onsite Hydraulic Hose and Tubing Testing: The Importance of Preventative Maintenance
May 29th, 2017An on-the-spot maintenance check is unavoidable when mobile hydraulics equipment is doing all the donkey work. Huge loads are being raised and lowered when the sun put in its first appearance. Then, by the time the sun has completed its arc, the hot-running gear is showing signs of fatigue. Unquestionably, then, hydraulic hose and tubing […]
Benefits of Adding Accumulators to Hydraulic Systems
May 16th, 2017Hydraulic accumulators are a little like electrical capacitors, you know, the components in a powered circuit that store electrical energy. In the case of that accumulator, it is fluid energy that’s being stored, not electricity, but the analogy still applies. Held under pressure, the stored accumulator energy is suspended in the hydraulic oil. With that […]
Hydraulic Hose Pipes and Fittings: How Important Are These?
April 28th, 2017When mobile hydraulics gear requires instantly accessible torque, high-performance hydraulic hose pipes and fittings step up to the mark. Yes, these are very important circuit elements, but enough with the rhetoric. In place of that wordiness, let’s look at some hard and fast examples that prove just how system-essential fluid conveying components are in a […]
