A major challenge facing mobileequipment designers is dealing with a large number of actuators that require hydraulic flow. Machines frequently have up to 10 hydraulically powered functions, with ...

New ZL Series proportional flow control valves from HydraForce Inc. (Lincolnshire, IL) are internally pressure-compensated and operate in two directions. "The valves provide identical flow vs current ...

Heavy-duty priority flow-control valves provide a simple and efficient way to supply auxiliary hydraulic power to mobile work tools and attachments, such as hydraulic impact hammers, compactors, saws, ...

Efficiency is a key design criteria for almost all components and systems on a piece of heavy-duty equipment—as well as for the machine itself. Hydraulics are one of the many areas in which ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Titan Enterprises shares key insights to help engineers and operators navigate challenges of precision flow metering to ensure accurate measurements and safe process operations. Metering liquids under ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...
