Using Hydraulic Cylinders In High Temperature Environments
Hydraulic cylinders are typically designed to operate in environments below 180° F. But, if the application requires a hotter environment, what can you do? This white paper will discuss causes of … [Read more...] about Using Hydraulic Cylinders In High Temperature Environments
Why Smart Linear Position Sensors?
When it comes to linear position feedback for motion control applications, in many respects it has historically been hard to beat tried and true analog sensors. With a variety of output options and … [Read more...] about Why Smart Linear Position Sensors?
How mounting can optimize slewing ring bearing performance
When designing with slewing ring bearings, the right mounting is essential to properly distribute the load and stress. Without an adequate structure, bearing performance usually suffers — and often … [Read more...] about How mounting can optimize slewing ring bearing performance
The hows and whys of higher voltages in solar
Why did the industry move from 600-V to 1000-V solar arrays? The answer is simple: to reduce system costs. The value of increased system voltages is realized in infrastructure savings, reduced … [Read more...] about The hows and whys of higher voltages in solar
