Counterbalance valves are among the top subjects viewed week after week on our website. I don’t know why, so your guess is as good as mine. Counterbalance valves are safety devices that prevent a load from dropping if pressure is lost in the l...

Hydraulics for air conditioning? And heat? Under certain conditions, hydraulics wins out over electric motors and belt drives for powering climate-control systems in large off-highway vehicles.

A complete line of manufactured C101 and C102 cast-iron pump/valve combinations are available with interchangeable parts and optional mountings and actuators, targeted at dump trucks and trailers. A three-position valve controls the raising, hold...

Targeting for applications with system pressure to 4,000 psi and backpressure to 290 psi, the V250 directional control valve has an iron housing and hard chrome and nickel-plated spools to resist wear. Thanks to its internal core design, flow...

Rotary Direct-Drive Valve (RDDV) servovalves use a limited angle, rotary torque motor to produce linear spool motion and modulate fluid flow through the valve’s control ports. They have no orifice assemblies, nozzles, jets or filters to become...

HyQ, the hydraulically actuated quadruped, is a responsive, running, jumping robot designed by researchers at the Institute Italiano di Tecnologia. Hydraulic cylinders at the leg joints generate torque for movement and produce high load-bearing c...

MPA-C clean-design valve terminal uses a redundant seal system that allows problem-free cleaning with high-pressure jets or foam. The valve terminal is made with FDA-compliant materials and lubricated with NSF-H1 food-grade lubricant. MPA-C...

Series GNV needle valves control the rate of flow in a pneumatic system with bidirectional flow control.  Its rotating input allows for 360° positioning. It has multiple mounting options such as direct, in-line, and cartridge styles...
