Pressure-compensated flow control valves are useful in a variety of hydraulic applications. For example, they benefit situations where it is necessary to maintain a constant speed of operation of a ...

Abstract: Hydraulic systems provide the most powerful actuators available. In the last decades however, their use in mechatronic systems has decreased, mainly because of two factors: the nature of the ...

Akron Hydraulic has launched a new program to restore hydraulic directional control valves found on heavy equipment such as excavators, dozers, paving and drilling machines used in construction, ...

Akron Hydraulic is excited to announce a cost-effective new service that helps extend equipment life, a particularly welcome benefit at a time when equipment managers are in "maintenance mode" due to ...

Smart Structures and Systems Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Inha University, Incheon, South Korea This paper presents tracking control performances of a piezostack direct drive ...

On/off valves are basically on/off switches for hydraulic systems. They are typically installed in applications where precise position or speed control is not required. Proportional valves adjust flow ...
