The article discusses equipment manufacturers using electric drives as the prime mover for mobile-hydraulic systems instead of internal-combustion engines, Parker Hannifin has begun addressing concerns associated with proving and using emerging technology such as risk. Topics include the Electrification Test Cell uses the flexibility of programmable electrohydraulic pumps to replicate a range of loading and duty-cycle profiles; and the Electrification Test Cell uses a second motor as the load.

The article offers information on several functional test, assembly verification and leak detection systems manufactured by Cincinnati Test Systems Inc. (CTS) over the years including Hydraulic Performance Test Systems, Leak Testing Systems and Flow Testing Systems.

Information on the CML2 compact twin-laser contamination-monitor kit from MP Filtri USA Inc. is presented.

The article evaluates the brochure featuring leak test accessory products from Cincinnati Test Systems Inc. and offers information about its usage.

The article evaluates digital vacuum gauges from Cincinnati Test Systems Inc., which accurately verify system vacuum pressures and offers information on its easy-to-read display which indicates pressure in one of three selectable units.

The article highlights the vacuum and pressure gauge from Cincinnati Test Systems Inc. The device connects to test port on Sentinel instruments to verify or calibrate the instrument's pressure display. Available pressure ranges extend from vacuum to 60 or 300 psi.

The article evaluates several commercial catalogs including the Short Form Catalogue from Webster Instruments, the 2010 catalog on couplings, valves and accessories from Pressure Components Inc. and the power units and test systems brochure from Sprague Products of Curtiss-Wright Corp.

The article describes the application of hydraulic and pneumatic actuators and closed-loop motion control for the development of production test systems. A motion controller must support direct execution of cyclic motion operations to make it quick and easy to set up testing profiles. Electronic motion controllers can excel at controlling force and position to generate testing scenarios with exceptional results.

The article offers brief information on the position sensors synchronous serial interface (SSI) from test systems and industrial position sensors supplier MTS Systems Corp.
