The name digital displacement pump tends to generate two reactions in equal measure: interest, because it sounds advanced, and skepticism, because plenty of things called digital are not fundamentally different from what came before. In this case the...

A pump motor unit — sometimes called an electro-hydraulic actuator or a power unit — combines an electric motor and a hydraulic pump into a single integrated assembly. The concept is not new. What has changed is the level of integration: ...

Most hydraulic system requirements fit within the standard catalog. Most. But there is a category of application — specialized mobile equipment, demanding process machinery, extreme environment installations — where the standard range run...

The digital displacement pump is one of those technologies that sounds like marketing language until you understand the mechanism — and then it sounds like a fundamental rethink of how hydraulic pumps work. Danfoss has been at the center of com...

Energy consumption in hydraulic systems has moved from a background concern to a board-level metric in a lot of industrial operations. Regulatory pressure on emissions, electricity costs that keep climbing, and customer expectations around sustainabi...

Ordering the wrong hydraulic seal kit is a frustration that costs time and money twice — once when the wrong parts arrive, and again when the job sits waiting while the right ones are sourced. For Enerpac and JCB equipment specifically, where t...

A leaking hydraulic ram is one of those problems that rarely fixes itself and tends to get worse at the least convenient time. The good news is that hydraulic ram repair kits contain everything needed to restore a cylinder to full working condition, ...

JCB equipment runs hard. Backhoe loaders, excavators, telehandlers, and rough terrain forklifts spend their working lives in conditions that test every hydraulic component in the system. When boom cylinder seals start to weep or loader arm rams devel...

Enerpac hydraulic rams have a well-earned reputation for precision and build quality, but like every hydraulic component they eventually develop seal-related issues. When a RC151K or RC53K ram starts weeping fluid at the piston rod or losing hold pre...

Cooling circuits pumps rarely appear on anyone's critical equipment list until one stops working. Then, very quickly, the consequences of that oversight become apparent. A hydraulic system that overheats because its cooling circuit pump has failed wi...

The electrohydraulic pump is not a new concept, but its adoption has accelerated sharply as servo drive costs have fallen and energy regulations have tightened. The basic idea — replace a fixed-speed motor and valve-controlled hydraulic circuit...

Most hydraulic applications operate comfortably within the pressure envelope that axial piston pumps handle well. But some do not. Hydraulic presses for metal forming, tube bending machines, clamping systems for precision machining fixtures, speciali...
