Understanding Pump and Motor Efficiencies
This presentation discusses the importance of power losses in pumps and motors. Volumetric. mechanical and overall efficiencies will be defined along with methods for determining them. Parameters effecting volumetric, mechanical and overall efficiencies will also be discussed. Manufacturers catalog data will be reviewed and calculations to determine efficiencies at specific…
From complex to simple: sizing and selection of fluid power seals
It is important to understand the complexities of seal materials, types and designs for use in fluid power application. This session will be a primer on the basics of sealing systems and products specific to the fluid power industry. Josh will discuss general fluid power seal applications, including mounting locations…
Tackling Hydraulic Challenges with Technology
Kovach will focus on the key reasons why “hydraulics will be around for a long time” as well as five of the challenges currently facing hydraulics (leaks, noise, efficiency, control, and weight). To address these challenges numerous technologies have been recently developed with additional breakthroughs on the horizon. Clearly, the…
