Hydraulic rotary actuators, each weighing over 25 tons and among the largest ever built by Parker Hannifin, accurately position and lock in place discharge booms on cargo ships to facilitate quick and ...

Rotary actuators replace multiple components and function as rotating device, mounting bracket, and bearing support, all in one. They offer torque output of740,000 lb-in. at 3,000 psi.

The coupling of electronic and hydraulic technology is becoming increasingly common, especially in electrohydraulic actuators. Advances in transducer logic and control capabilities have resulted in ...

When Bobcat launched its T7X compact tracked loader just in time for ConExpo last year, it wasn’t only different in the sense that it was electrically powered. More unusually, the machine also did ...

Tips process engineers can leverage to minimize the time spent selecting actuators for different applications while still maximizing the reliability and durability of valves and automation mechanisms.

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have developed a hydraulic actuator[1] that will allow tough robots to operate in disaster sites and other harsh environments. Tokyo Tech ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level tradeoffs of ...
