Anticipation vs. reaction is the name of the game in fluid power, hydraulics, and pneumatics. The organizations embracing mechatronics, digital toolsets, AI and the electrification movement will be in a much better position moving forward. Here are a few of the trends/technologies to consider relating to fluid power and motion control today:
Motion Industries, Inc. has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the operating assets of Perfetto Manufacturing and SER Hydraulics. Subject to customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to be finalized at the end of February.
Increasing energy prices are a reality for every business, so it is important to identify processes that can help reduce operational costs and cut waste. Industries such as petrochemicals, refineries or fertilizer manufacturing have an opportunity to harness the energy in their processes to create electricity and export it to the local grid using hydraulic power recovery turbines (HPRTs). The key to a successful installation is in the selection of an expert designer and manufacturer.
Danfoss is extending the expansion ecosystem. With stable performance, superior operating conditions, and six models to choose from, the EKE 100 range of superheat controllers and valve drivers supports highly reliable system functioning — encapsulating 20+ years of experience in superheat management.
Bosch Rexroth recently announced the grand opening of its new Hydraulics Training Center which opened on Sept. 20 at 2315 City Line Road Bethlehem, PA. This state-of-the-art training center provides a dynamic space for individuals to embark on a journey of learning and growth.
Bio-Ultimax1000, a biosynthetic formula that directly replaces mineral oil based hydraulic fluids, has a flash point of 450°F. This 200-degree cushion can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe when a hydraulic hose breaks and sprays a hot running engine.
Forum Energy Technologies (FET) has appointed UnderOcean Servicos Maritimos (UnderOcean) to represent its Subsea operations in Brazil. The partnership will see UnderOcean provide business development and engineering support on behalf of FET’s Subsea Technologies product line in Brazil. Headquartered in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, UnderOcean will deliver service, repair, calibration, upgrades, and modifications for FET’s remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), associated tooling and Dynacon Launch & Recovery Systems.
Ogura’s new MCNB-Z series Spring Applied Brakes are changing the way robotics and medical equipment designers look at power-off holding brakes. These are used for both safety and precision motion control. For decades, permanent magnet type brakes were the only reliable solution. This is no longer the case, thanks to this new breakthrough design.
ETP-Classic Keyless Shaft Locking Bushings provide faster, more accurate, and concentric mounting of shaft mounted components compared to mechanical shaft locking bushings. This field-proven solution has been used for over 50 years by tens of thousands of satisfied users across 5 continents and 30 different countries.
Kurt Hydraulics has introduced a new lineup of stainless-steel couplings for applications ranging from marine hydraulics to food production and medical processes to fertilizer and chemical handling or other tough applications requiring washdowns.
