Importance of Filtration and Conditioning of Hydraulic Pumps
Blog | December 15th, 2015In comparing electrical circuitry to hydraulic flow, we’ve discovered similarities. There are switching and branching instances in both systems. Resistance slows electrical current and a physical impedance slows the circulation of a fluid. Replete with comparisons, the analogy also extends to the pure state of the circulating medium,. Electricity must be clean of voltage spikes […]
Differences between Pneumatic and Hydraulic Equipment
Blog | December 4th, 2015It doesn’t take much effort to research the basics and see how pneumatic systems are engaged by air while hydraulic power is all about fluid. These two facts are well-established but can still be lost in the shuffle as equipment considerations enter the discussion. If a layperson picks up some device, pneumatic equipment, for example, […]
Uses of Hydraulic Vane Motors
Blog | October 27th, 2015One of the first people to construct a hydraulic motor was William Armstrong; a well-known scientist, inventor and philanthropist. (1810–1900). He invented the hydraulic accumulator; a cast-iron cylinder that was fitted with a plunger that supported a very heavy weight. The plunger was raised slowly as it pulled in water. The plunger lifted until the […]

The Significance of Fluid Filtration and Conditioning in Hydraulic Equipment
Blog | September 11th, 2015If the hydraulic lines and reservoirs that thread through a powered mechanism can be compared to any biological process, it would be the circulatory network that sends oxygen through the human body. Hydraulic pumps are substituted by the human heart in this organic metaphor, and filtration is handled by the kidneys, an organ that faithfully […]
