Off-highway construction machinery can exponentially benefit from a simple system upgrade to improve efficiency and overall ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...

Hydraulic systems underpin a myriad of industrial and mobile applications, providing robust and high‐force linear actuation combined with precise control. Recent advances in this field aim to mitigate ...

In this transitional period between the gasoline and electric ages, there's still plenty of room, and plenty of motivation, for last-gasp improvements to the combustion engine – and a Swiss R&D ...

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 ...

Triumph Systems & Support has drawn a four-year contract from Lockheed Martin Corp. to supply hydraulic utility actuation (HUA) valves the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The agreement extends a current, ...

Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure, and hoses and assemblies have a shelf life. When improperly stored, installed and/or serviced, hoses and parts can become damaged and spray hot, highly ...

Maintaining clean hydraulic oil is crucial to extending machine component life. Without proper maintenance, the smallest particulate (including dirt, metal, and water) can cause serious damage after ...
