Hydraulic vs. all-electric injection molding machines compared for energy efficiency, applications, and business ...

Unlike conventional ball or roller-based linear guides, hydrostatic guidance systems eliminate all metal-to-metal contact. The guide carriages move on a thin cushion of high-pressure fluid, which ...

Energy efficiency is often considered to be the main advantage of electric injection molding machines, but that neglects many ...

These days, almost every component and system in a piece of heavy equipment is becoming more intelligent through the incorporation of sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT). “The core vision of IoT ...

Designing hydrostatic bearings is more complex than for self-acting types because of the greater number of components requiring design decisions. The pressure pads in hydrostatic bearings carry the ...

It's still cheaper to trench long runs where there's not a lot of finished surface to repair, and the economy is forcing utilities to make that call rather than over-using directional boring. Ditch ...

Bucyrus-Erie 20-H hydraulic excavator equipped with special rotary boom attachment. With increasing competition from European hydraulic-excavator producers in the early 1960s, traditional American ...

Hydraulic fluids have become integral to construction, manufacturing, agriculture and numerous other industries. Without them, companies would have less efficiency and power in multiple applications.

Prior to the 1960s, much of construction equipment still relied on winches and cables. “Dozer blades were moved with winches and wire ropes,” recalls Keith Haddock, national director of the Historical ...
