A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

Hydraulics is great for lifting heavy loads and applying large amounts of force, but the same power that is required to exert a large amount of lifting or compression force can also do damage or ...

Mobile and industrial equipment manufacturers, and their customers, are rapidly embracing a new class of electronic controls for open-circuit, medium-pressure piston pumps like the Parker P1/PD Series ...

Valve appears to be stuck in the open position--same oil flow whether stem in or out. I can feel spring tension. If I turn the knob CLOCKwise, the stem will advance into the valve body, but I have to ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller can be used to control temperature, ...

Festo introduces the HPPH two-finger pneumatic parallel gripper, a compact, lightweight design that integrates control, ...

Before selecting an engineered solution for any fluid control application, it is crucial to understand the unique application and overall value that each ball valve provides. Ball valves come in a ...

A linear control variable yields a uniform surge margin across the full operating range and simplifies both closed-loop and ...
