Come join me next week for a "primer" on industrial pump design. 🙃

[Fluid Power World @FluidPowerWorld]

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!

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. https://t.co/3dlbpIKXbE

Hey fam! I'd love it if you could follow our new(ish) Twitter (X) page for our EconoMAX dump truck air cylinder!

I should also point out that everyone has a preference for seals - some are happy with T-seals but others love lip seals. 🤷‍♂️

[Fluid Power World @FluidPowerWorld]

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: https://t.co/ce2IZtdlkZ

This topic had a huge discussion on LinkedIn. Who wants to weigh on on the debate here on Twitter?

[Mary Gannon @FPW_MaryGannon]

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.

This is the way.

[Mary Gannon @FPW_MaryGannon]

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 @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. https://t.co/opu6vUnx1L #FPTC2022

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.

@DW_MaryGannon @FluidPowerWorld @wtwh_ryan @wtwh_paulheney @mrference @CarlDyke Tell me what you all prefer: liquid-to-liquid, or liquid-to-air coolers?

[Mary Gannon @FPW_MaryGannon]

Here, learn from @FluidPowerTips as he gives a round-up on heat exchanger designs, highlighting both liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid designs and their benefits in specific applications. https://t.co/xCVAWmBOYX @FluidPowerWorld @wtwh_ryan @wtwh_paulheney @mrference @CarlDyke

The laws of fluid power are infallible. Read as @FluidPowerTips gives a rundown on the most critical ones all engineers using fluid power technology should know: https://t.co/Xn77N8mZES @FluidPowerWorld @wtwh_paulheney @mrference @wtwh_ryan @carlindustry

[Josh Cosford, CFPHS @FluidPowerTips]

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!

[Mary Gannon @FPW_MaryGannon]

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.
