Elburn, Illinois-based company Drumbeater of America has introduced an innovative drum crusher model 7000 which utilizes hydraulic cylinder intended to reduce the drum size up to one-eight of its original size. Such a machine enables to minimize the drum size that is suitable, economical and practical for recycling purposes. The machine's hydraulic cylinder also has an adaptive feature which allows it to shift from one mode to another, depending on its loads., Probably a negative icon Probably nothing conjures up as strong an impression of toxic waste as abandoned 55-gal steel drums - even if the drums are empty. Companies often find [...]

Band cylinders are mechanical linear actuators that can handle large loads and bending moments produced by off-center loads. Such equipment can operate reliably provided that important technical parameters are considered in their installation and selection. These parameters include cylinder size, cushion capacity, tube support requirements, torque requirements and velocity., Linear motion-control systems might be thought of as ranging from large conveyors that move baggage through an airport to miniature servosystems that position semiconductor chips under photolithography masks. But, most [...]

Micromatic Textron Inc. has acquired the services of Parker Hannifin Corp. in supplying cylinders for its Roto Flo machines. Micromatic was previously encountering service problems and downtime due to faulty cylinders. Parker's four-inch bore cylinders with the TS2000 seal solved Micromatic's problems. Micromatic officials say that they have been using Parker products for years and are confident that the new Parker cylinders will end the Roto Flo's leakage problems., Machine design requires little or no maintenance for hidden cylinders 'The service problems and downtime involved in replacing the faulty cylinders were enough to send Micromatic to a new supplier: [...]

Sometimes, selecting a cylinder that simply works isn't enough. When you need longer life, higher reliability, or more consistent performance, the right material can make the difference between a good [...]

Hunger Hydraulics Ltd has manufactured the largest and most powerful hydraulic cylinder intended for the company Stress Engineering Service which provides structural and mechanical design, analysis and testing services. The hydraulic cylinder contains three forgings which include the barrel and cap, rod and piston and endcap. The cylinder will be utilized in testing and load-measuring-unit calibration applications., Hunger Hydraulics, Ltd., of Rossford, Ohio, near Toledo - a manufacturer of standard and custom-designed hydraulic cylinders - delivered the largest and most powerful cylinder the company has built in [...]

Hydraulic intensifiers are piston/cylinder devices in which low-pressure fluid acts on a large piston surface area to drive a smaller piston and produce high-pressure output. However, pressure intensifiers made from [...]
