Hydraulic applications rely upon fluid power or pressurized fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. These systems are capable of producing high power and high forces in small volumes and have ...

• New types of hydraulic hose are more compact and flexible than standard designs. • High-temperature versions help meet Tier 4 emission standards. • Hoses with nitrile tubes handle “green” fluids.

Typical, medium-duty, hydraulic brake system with front discs (red circuit) and rear drums (green circuit). Boost, or assist (blue circuit), is provided by an engine-driven pump, although the power ...

Ever observed cranes lifting heavy loads, excavators digging and scooping earth or the extension and retraction of landing gears in an aircraft? They all have one thing in common: they are driven by ...

• Quick-acting valves and mechanical impact can generate hydraulic shock waves. • Shock and pulsating flow cause noise and can lead to premature system failure. • In-line shock suppressors smooth out ...

From the archives: The beauty of hydraulic lifters is that they self-compensate for valvetrain clearances, doing away with the need for valvetrain adjustment. To celebrate HOT ROD's 75th anniversary, ...

Hi-Force is a designer and manufacturer of high-pressure hydraulic tools, heavy lifting systems and torque/tensioning ...

Archaeologists have made an incredible discovery at Petra, the Nabataean capital in Jordan. They found a highly developed ...
