From watermills to oil platforms Hydraulics is one of those technical sectors of activity which are both old and new at the same time. Take waterwheels for instance, people have been using them before even history was recorded. At the same time, the principle of using a liquid under pressure to transfer force and also to control complicated movements is...
For a multi billion industry, the key words are safety and precision. Safety in the automotive industry is particularly important and therefore highly regulated. Hydraulics plays an important role in ensuring precision in production and a more efficient use of raw materials. Years of experience in the automotive industry combined with an extensive support network enables us, through our...
Hydraulic motor: what is it ? The hydraulic engine is a hydraulic power machine which transforms the energy of a liquid into the energy of a solid body using in order to do so pistons, gear wheels or vane rotors. The hydraulic motors can be generally speaking linear or rotary engines. The linear ones are also called hydraulic cylinders and use...
During the last decade our evolution has proven that strategic partnerships are key to ensure sustainable development. Most certainly the principle applies to all business sectors on all levels, since every investment made in the right direction, weather in upgraded technology, know-how or key people and sectors can become a win or lose situation when looking back at their...
Test bench : what is it? A test bench or testing workbench is an environment employed to test therefore verify the soundness or level or precision/correctness of a design or model.The origins of the term finds itself in the testing of electronic devices, where an engineer would perform precision tests at a lab bench using a different set of tools...
The function of directional control valves is to control the movement and direction of hydraulic fluids through a defined system. Also known under the denomination of switching valves, the control valves belong mainly to three main categories: hydraulic check valves, directional spool valves and poppet valves. Why do you need one? Things you need to consider Since control valves are key...
LASER technology acronym comes from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation and has been a synonym for high quality and efficiency in materials processing since the 1960s. Laser Cutting is effective in several sectors where production rate and speed are of the essence. With laser cutting technology it becomes easy to cut in all types of materials with ultra...
After almost a decade of hard work and dedication we can tell that it was all worth it, since it payed well. We have been granted the CCIAT Excellence Award for Hydraulics for the last 2 years in a row. Passion, hard work and dedication always pay sooner or later, no matter the economic sector we’re active in. It’s...
After working in the hydraulics industry for over 20 years, I've been fortunate enough to learn from the omissions and mistakes made by hydraulic users while dealing with the maintenance of their equipment. This article’s purpose is to hopefully give you the benefit of my experience to help you avoid the most common mistakes. #1 Oil changing I've observed people changing...
How do we face now the COVID19 situation? The best way to face a crisis situation is to adapt very quickly and to keep mooving on heads up. COVID19 situation made us even more careful about health and safety regulations because our people’s health is our wealth on one hand and made us make serious financial efforts in securing our...
