Domed bolt and nut caps protect equipment and personnel

5 days ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

MOCAP has added a new protective solution to its product catalog: BNCD series of domed bolt and nut caps. They provide protection and a finished appearance, while covering exposed bolt and nut heads in a variety of industrial, commercial and consumer applications. Molded in durable black polyethylene plastic, these domed caps are designed to snap securely over standard hex nuts and bolts, shielding them from dirt, moisture and corrosion while also reducing the risk of injury from exposed hardware.
Electrics bring a complex future to ag machinery

5 days ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

For our mobile hydraulics focus on the agriculture market, Fluid Power World spoke with Vinicius Povineli, Mobile electronics/connectivity product manager, Bosch Rexroth, to learn how electrification is impacting ag machinery today and tomorrow. FPW: How are hybrid and electric innovations impacting the agriculture industry and where do you see any challenges arising in the future?
Compressed air fail: Heat wasted

5 days ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Paul Heney

In cold climates, compressor rooms that draw 100% outside air for ventilation face a challenge: how do you prevent freezing temperatures from damaging equipment? The common solution is to install electric heaters. But while it seems simple, relying on electric resistance heating to temper a compressor room is often a costly mistake — especially when you’re already generating a powerful, free heat source: waste heat from the air compressor itself.
Why is hydraulic contamination still an issue?

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

I’ve got contamination on the brain. In the past couple of weeks, I have edited several articles focused on the perils of contamination and how to prevent it. In our May issue, we talk about the importance of contamination control in agricultural machinery. We also talk industrial contamination control in our June issue, where we tackle both pneumatic and hydraulic concerns. And just the other day, I moderated a webinar with Josh Cosford about oil analysis and contamination monitoring.
Where do I mount my hydraulic pump?

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

By Josh Cosford, Contributing EditorWhere you mount your power unit’s hydraulic pump plays a role in performance, reliability, price and real estate. Some configurations are effective for performance but challenging to maintain, while others ensure reliability while taking up acres of floor space. This guide will help you decide what method to mount your hydraulic pump on your power unit.
A primer on hose fittings materials

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

By: Josh Cosford, Contributing EditorEditor’s Note: This is the first in a multi-part series on materials used in fluid power hose fittings. We will cover carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and plastic. Fittings and adapters used in fluid power are manufactured using various materials selected by designers to suit the specific needs of the application.
What is compressed air heat recovery?

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Paul Heney

If you’re running air compressors in your facility, you might be sitting on a gold mine of wasted energy — literally. Up to 94% of the electrical energy used by an air compressor is converted into heat. The good news? Most of that heat is recoverable. The better news? You can turn it into serious cost savings. Here’s how to calculate those savings:When your air compressor is running, it generates a lot of heat.
May 2025 Issue: Harvesting reliable machinery in farming

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

I’ve got contamination on the brain. In the past couple of weeks, I have edited several articles focused on the perils of contamination and how to prevent it. On page 18 of this issue, we talk about the importance of contamination control in agricultural machinery. We also talk industrial contamination control in our June issue, where we tackle both pneumatic and hydraulic concerns. And just the other day, I moderated a webinar with Josh Cosford about oil analysis and contamination monitoring.
Engineering salary survey available for 2025

2 weeks ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

Earlier this year, and for the first time, our sister publication, Engineering.com, along with Fluid Power World, have produced a comprehensive salary survey that shines a light on what today’s engineers are really earning and what their jobs entail. Spanning disciplines from mechanical to aerospace and covering professionals in the U.S. and Canada, this inaugural study sets the stage for a better understanding of how the industry is evolving — and what engineers value most in their careers.
Clippard panel-mounted electronic and pneumatic pinch valves

2 weeks ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

For applications that require better access or enhanced cleanliness, Clippard pinch valves are also available with a convenient panel mount option. Panel-mounted pinch valves provide all the same benefits as Clippard’s standard pinch valves along with seamless integration and easy accessibility. Compared to standard manifold mounted pinch valves, panel mounting offers simplified installation, a cleaner appearance, and reduced contamination risk.
