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! https://t.co/njVvXP0njD

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! 💪

Technically speaking, hydraulic hose is often also industrial hose, but for the sake of this article, @FluidPowerTips defines what makes them different in both construction and application.

I should also point out that everyone has a preference for seals - some are happy with T-seals but others love lip seals. 🤷♂️
Clearly, what works well in a #materialhandling air cylinder will not provide the best solution for the hot strip mill. @FluidPowerTips shares what the best #cylinder piston seal is:

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. https://t.co/39Rp7KTwfa

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. https://t.co/Uy6BxMFaeB

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. https://t.co/opu6vUnx1L

Have you wondered when should you use rotary actuators? Wonder no more! #hydraulics #rotaryactuators
https://t.co/WCQavXvQWk

Rotary actuators, in many cases, are a hybrid of linear and rotary actuators. Of course, in the fluid power realm, linear and rotary actuators are more

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. https://t.co/spDGN1Sese

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!
With its HELAX hydraulic linear drive, @bucherhyd includes a servomotor, inverter, AX pump and cylinder, that offers efficiency that matches or exceeds that of electromechanical axes with significantly higher force output. https://t.co/tB7w0Ll0Q2

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: https://t.co/LyvmAWCrkl
