At the heart of every hydraulic system is the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder creates the power to drive the process, whether that process opens and closes gates along a conveyor belt, raises and lowers the blade on earth-moving equipment, or activates a large door in a factory so that a ...
Have you ever had to turn down a job because you didn’t have the right tools? When it comes to hydraulic cylinder repairs, some jobs may be too big to handle– especially when those cylinders are used for heavy industrial equipment like cranes and dozers. While there may be times where a customer’s n...
Everything wears out over time. It’s a fact. Even software wears out and requires updating and occasionally cleaned of contamination and bugs. The same is true for each component of a hydraulic cylinder, down to the seals. If you own or work in a hydraulic cylinder repair facility, operate a mobile ...
Hydraulic cylinders are the backbones of many industrial applications. They provide the necessary force and movement to power machinery. Due to the intense and demanding operating environment that many cylinders are subjected to, these mechanisms often require repairs to restore lost performance. In...
Packing plays a crucial role in preventing product leakage and prolonging the lifespan of valves, pumps, and other rotating equipment. When it comes to choosing braided packing, the primary factors to consider are pH value, temperature, and required shaft speed. PTFE and graphite packing are two pop...
Most of the hydroelectric power plants currently operating in the United States are over 50 years old. They need to be modernized, refurbished, and upgraded to continue to work effectively.
The existing hydropower fleet in the US is aging, with the majority of hydropower plants now more than 50 years old. Maintenance is imperative to keep these hydro facilities operating efficiently and producing power long into the future.
The hydro and marine industries rely on equipment, replacement parts, and materials that hold up to the enormous forces applied during the job. Orkot® products, made of a remarkable composite polymer, are extremely durable and provide these desirable qualities:
Electrical power is critical to maintaining today’s way of life around the globe. An essential element of the US electrical grid is hydroelectric power plants, with conventional generators supplying about 6.3% of the total operating electricity in the US for 2021. According to the US Energy Informat...
