There are various formulations to ensure fire-resistance in hydraulic fluids, but water glycols remain the most commonly used, decades after their introduction. The pace of technological change, along ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

Hydraulic door closers may seem like small components but they play a key role in comfort, safety and durability. By using controlled resistance and spring balance, they ensure that doors close ...

Hydraulic cylinders essentially convert fluid pressure and flow into force and linear motion. They are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, materials, and configurations. Many OEM engineers ...

Typical, medium-duty, hydraulic brake system with front discs (red circuit) and rear drums (green circuit). Boost, or assist (blue circuit), is provided by an engine-driven pump, although the power ...

No technological advance is without drawbacks, which is also true for vehicles. Modern engines give us better gas mileage and efficiency, but without the charm or control of a manual transmission.
