Stainless steel and steel sealing plugs for fluid power systems

3 days ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

For hydraulic or pneumatic units to function properly, they must be closed systems with no pressure loss whatsoever. During production, it is often necessary to drill auxiliary bores for all channels required in the system. For these systems to function properly and to prevent pressure losses, these bores must be sealed tightly afterward. Component specialist norelem now offers reliable sealing plugs for this task.

Compressed air fail: Blowdown broken

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Paul Heney

A compressed air auditor was surprised to see an air compressor under test was consuming excess power when unloaded. A check of the sump pressure (Fig. 1) showed the sump was not blowing down during unload cycles. And the installed flow meter showed the compressor was producing a small amount of air, even in the unloaded condition.
How to optimize space in mobile hydraulics

Massive hydraulic presses and intricate pipework stretch across the floor with the kind of freedom this scale allows. Space is abundant and equipment can be as robust and heavy as the job demands. It’s easy to take that freedom for granted until you’re working with a design where every inch counts.
Are your hydraulic choices wrong?

1 week ago | fluidpowerworld.com | Mary Gannon

By Josh Cosford•Contributing EditorThere’s an unfortunate trend these past few years where the social meta is increasingly binary. No, I’m not talking about gender.
