Hydraulic MachinerySaving Money on Hydraulic Rebuilds
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Rebuilding a hydraulic component involves reworking or replacing all parts necessary to return the component to an “as new” condition in terms of performance and expected service life. In other words, a rebuilt component should perform as well and last as long as a new one. In this column, the terms “rebuild” and “repair” will […]
SPI Machinery and Moldmakers Divisions Work to Address the Need For Mold Safety Standards
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Throughout the world, injection molding machine (IMM) operators work with high-temperature plastics, high injection pressures, powerful clamping and ejection forces and rapidly moving steel masses. Though these would seem to present a potential for injury, today’s workers enjoy many safeguards against the potential hazards associated with machine operation. These safe-guards are the result of IMMs […]
Reducing Hydraulic System Noise
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Many industrialized countries have regulations restricting noise levels in the workplace. The high-power density and corresponding high noise emission of hydraulic components cause industrial hydraulic systems to be the target of efforts to reduce mean noise levels.
The pump is the dominant source of noise in hydraulic systems. It transmits structure-borne and fluid-borne noise into […]
How to Maximize Hydraulic Cylinder Service Life
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008As a product group, cylinders are as common as pumps and motors combined. Therefore, if a plant operates a lot of hydraulic equipment, cylinder repair expense is likely a significant portion of total maintenance costs.
It is often stated that up to 25 percent of mechanical equipment failures are design related. With regards to hydraulic […]
Understanding Load-sensing Control
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008When things go awry with a piece of hydraulic equipment, the maintenance technician is usually the first on the scene. For the technician’s troubleshooting efforts to be effective, he or she must understand how the equipment operates. One type of hydraulic control system in widespread use, but not well understood, is load-sensing control.
Load-sensing describes […]

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008What is hydraulic machinery?
Hydraulic machinery refers to machines that use high pressure fluid to accomplish work. They are most common in heavy equipment for industrial use. More specifically hydraulic fluid is pumped to a high pressure level and then moved throughout the machines by different actuators. The hydraulic pump itself is powered by a […]
Securing Heavy Machinery
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Securing heavy machinery correctly and safety is of vital importance to the safety of the loader and operator, and to the equipment itself. Specifications are laid out by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) for certain procedures that should always be followed when securing heavy machinery.
The rules for securing heavy machinery
The rules are set […]

What does the term “bulldozer” refer to when you’re talking about heavy machinery?The term bulldozer has become a general reference to any large, tracked or heavy engineering machine, but is actually classified as a tractor that has tracks and sports a dozer blade and a ripper.
The bulldozer is considered an earthmoving […]
Advancements In Heavy Equipment
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008There is a rapid advancement in the field of heavy equipment technology. Unlike the earlier days now, using global positioning satellite technology, heavy equipment placed anywhere in the world can be checked or diagnosed. Finding the right new equipment suitable is also getting to be a big challenge. With lot of options and features to […]
