Hydraulic Motion Control in Forest Products Equipment

Precise control is key to getting the greatest productivity out of hydraulic systems. A common challenge is applying pressure control to logs or cants firmly without slipping or causing damage – especially under potentially powerful counteracting forces such as those provided by saws, blades or grinding wheels. Using sophisticated electronic motion controllers, hydraulics continues... Read More

Taking the guesswork out of pneumatic control

Here’s a step-by-step approach to efficiently designing systems that work right the first time. Designers have several options when constructing pneumatic-control systems. But modular air-logic systems are often a good bet when a compact, economical unit is a must. They typically consist of a series of valves mounted onto standard manifold subplates. Such systems speed assembly... Read More

Assortment of hoses, couplings, industry standards requires hydraulic system approach.

Among the basic components of every hydraulic system is a series of hoses and couplings that transport fluid under pressure from a pump to an actuating mechanism that converts the fluid into motion or force. In a way, hoses and couplings are a critical sub-system of the larger hydraulic circuit that includes the fluid, reservoir, hydraulic pump, hydraulic valves and the actuator. Click... Read More
