New design tools accurately predict O-ring expansion when immersed in fluid.

The CX800B excavator from Case Construction boasts increased power output and better fuel efficient.

A powerful liquid vacuum, the Mini Reversible Drum Vac System can vacuum 5 gallons of liquid in less than 10 sec.

VS45 Series plug-in subbase manifold is available. The manifold comes in three port sizes.

The GH100 hose is qualified for underhood use with biodiesel B2 to B20 up to 150°C, biodiesel B100 up to 125°C, and for transmission-oil cooler applications using synthetic lubricants at peak temperatures up to 175°C.

An integrated accumulator charge valve and gear-pump package reduces plumbing and mounting hardware typically needed, resulting in less-complex, moredurable, and efficient systems.

The redesigned A4VG variable pump is for closed-circuit applications.

SVRV10-26 dual-function cartridge valves combine a normally open solenoid valve with an integral nonadjustable relief valve.

The Diamond Seal technology found in several faucets from the Delta Faucet Co., Indianapolis (www.deltafaucet.com) is said to eliminate leaks, simplify installation, meet California regulations on lead content, and last 5 million cycles or about 100 years of average use.

Accumulator-based energy recovery systems improve mobile-equipment efficiency.

Hydraulic fan drives have proven to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in countless installations. One size doesn’t fill all, so this summary should help you determine which type of fan drive best suits an application.

In operation, hydropneumatic accumulators use compressed gas to apply force to hydraulic fluid.
