    • Design the Machine Experience—Not Individual Components

      Integrated hydraulic, electronic, software, and operator-control solutions for heavy equipment OEMs Today’s heavy equipment must do more, communicate more, and still feel simple for the operator to use. That means the real engineering challenge is no longer selecting individual components. It is integrating hydraulics, programmable controls, software and diagnostics into one machine system that performs […]

    • F10 vs. F12: Selecting the Right Bent-Axis Motor

      Selecting a hydraulic motor is not about choosing the model with the highest pressure rating. It is about matching torque, speed, system pressure, displacement, and other circuit requirements to the application—then selecting the motor that delivers the required performance without over engineering the machine. For many mobile hydraulic applications operating around 4,000 psi, the F10 bent-axis […]

    • 6 Considerations for Designing Heavy Equipment Seat Pods in Tight Cab Spaces

      Designing a seat-mounted arm pod for a piece of heavy equipment is already a balancing act. OEMs need to give operators intuitive access to machine controls while preserving comfort, visibility, adjustability and clearance within a constrained environment. Factor in a compact cab or just a limited space claim for an operator control station, and you’ve […]
