Enhancing hydraulic filtration with photo-chemical etching
The increasing focus on efficiency and precision has made advanced approaches to designing critical components, like industrial filters, more essential than ever. As systems become more complex in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing, the need for highly engineered filters that can meet demanding performance requirements has never been greater. H&P reports.
Investment in a new building
After an intensive planning and construction phase, WEBER-HYDRAULIK has announced it has opened a new chapter at its Constance site: the move to the new, company-owned building in the Reichenau district has been completed. With a modern new building, the company says it is responding to the acute lack of space in its previous premises and creating optimal conditions for further growth and innovative developments. The move was a necessary step in order to meet the targeted growth in valve technology.
How proactive heat transfer fluid maintenance impacts performance
Thermal fluid systems are often perceived as low maintenance because of their stability and reliability, operating effectively a closed-loop system with minimal intervention. However, with rising operational costs, changing environmental regulations and increased competition, uptime and process efficiency are more critical factors than ever. That’s why manufacturers should take proactive steps to maintain their heat transfer fluids and HTF system, says Dave Dyer, technical sales engineer at thermal fluid experts Global Heat Transfer
Sealing solutions engineered for enhanced cylinder efficiency
H&P reviews sealing profile and material considerations that address four of the most prominent hydraulic cylinder efficiency challenges—fluid leaks, contamination, friction, and hydraulic fluid quality. By exploring these factors, we aim to identify effective strategies for enhancing hydraulic cylinder performance and reliability in various applications
Transforming hydraulic pump maintenance with smart technology
Hydraulic pump maintenance is evolving with advanced technologies like IoT, AI-driven diagnostics, and energy-efficient systems. Engineers can now take advantage of predictive maintenance, optimise fluid management, and enhance sustainability practices to improve pump longevity, reduce downtime, and ensure efficient operation in increasingly complex industrial environments.

New inline contamination sensors provide early warning and cost-effective monitoring
MP Filtri has introduced its new ICS inline contamination sensors, designed and manufactured in the UK. These sensors offer a combination of precision, real-time performance, and cost-effectiveness, providing a practical solution for contamination monitoring. Designed to simplify the process of monitoring systems, the ICS sensors allow operators to detect particle build-up and take preventive measures before damage or downtime can occur
The role of swaging tools in supporting aircraft landing gear systems
Aircraft landing gear systems are essential engineering components, designed to withstand the demanding forces encountered during take-off, landing, and ground operations. One critical aspect of maintaining these systems involves the use of precision swaging tools, which play a significant role in securing key components such as bearings and housings. H&P reports.
