Come join me next week for a "primer" on industrial pump design. 🙃
Did you see we have a webinar coming up? Register to learn: 🔸 What pump design criteria are ideal for the industrial environment 🔸 How pumps are installed to make best of their performance. 🔸 And more! bit.ly/4ckFvHL @FluidPowerTips

When we purchased this CNC saw in 2017, we went from machining cutting on a band saw and then facing on a lathe, which was a 5 minute process. This machine reduced the cycle time to 30 seconds.
Jerry hard at work, cutting the aluminum tube for our ECONOmax cylinders! 💪

This topic had a huge discussion on LinkedIn. Who wants to weigh on on the debate here on Twitter?
In this corner we have #Hydraulics and in the other corner, #Pneumatics! Who will win in this battle? Kidding, this isn't a "which is better" article, but a good look from @FluidPowerTips about their differences & how they operate. fluidpowerworld.com/hydrauli… @FluidPowerWorld

This is the way.
Learn how SAE flanges — an O-ring face technology that provides intermediate connection with myriad possible options — uses 4 bolts to fix a flat flange against the also-flat work port on a pump, motor, cylinder or valve. hoseassemblytips.com/what-ar… @FluidPowerWorld @FluidPowerTips

I'm pumped I'm back again live for this year’s Fluid Power Technology Conference in Detroit. Join me live on October 12-13 as I discuss various topics, the most controversial of which where I debunk "Flow Makes it Go." You won't want to miss it. web.cvent.com/event/7cc4fe46… #FPTC2022

Have you ever wondered how to actually "dry" out your hydraulic oil? This.
With its NAV 5 (North American Vacuum) dehydrators,@Schroeder_Ind offers a 5 gpm version to condition smaller reservoirs under 600 gal. It is compact, about 9 in. smaller in length & 400+ lb lighter in weight when compared to the NAV 30. sealingandcontaminationtips.… @FluidPowerWorld

I've been saying for a while that this concept is the future of hydraulic actuators. I imagine they'll go one step farther and the pump/motor group will mounted to the cylinder!

Viscosity versus viscosity index. I love this stuff! j.mp/3fDn8zm @MHydraulicTips

No hydraulic machine is complete without components to monitor fluid condition. Have a look at my most recent article in my Symbology series. #hydraulics #fluidpower
In his latest, @FluidPowerTips takes a look at symbology for #hydraulic condition monitoring devices. Read on to learn about this important circuit images that may or may not be on your schematics: fluidpowerworld.com/hydrauli… @FluidPowerWorld @carlindustry @mrference @wtwh_ryan
