Pulsation Dampening in Hydraulics: A Practical Guide

Pulsation Dampening in Hydraulics: A Practical Guide

The operator feels it before the fault code appears. A telehandler's steering wheel starts to buzz as engine speed rises, the hydraulic hoses chatter against their clamps, and the pressure gauge needle refuses to settle. On a factory floor, a press may bang on...
Digital Displacement Pump Guide to Efficiency and Control

Digital Displacement Pump Guide to Efficiency and Control

A mobile machine can spend much of its working day alternating between heavy loading, precise movement and near-idle running. A conventional hydraulic circuit may still drive the pump at a level suited to the highest demand, then discard surplus energy across valves...

How to Read Pump Curves a Practical UK Guide for 2026

You're usually not looking at a pump curve out of curiosity. You're looking at it because something on the machine isn't right. The actuator is slower than expected. The oil is running hotter than it should. A replacement pump with the “same”...
Performance Benchmarking for Hydraulic Systems

Performance Benchmarking for Hydraulic Systems

A machine is missing its target cycle time. Oil temperature is creeping up. The operator says it feels sluggish after lunch but acceptable first thing in the morning. The pump still runs, the cylinder still moves, and nothing has failed badly enough to stop...
Reduce Hydraulic Costs: Energy Consumption Reduction

Reduce Hydraulic Costs: Energy Consumption Reduction

UK industry has already lived through a long efficiency shift. Official European energy statistics show the UK's total final energy consumption fell from around 155 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2000 to around 122 Mtoe in 2023, a decline of roughly 21%...
