The Integrated Radar Measurement (IRM) Sensor from Leggett & Platt Hydraulics is a linear position sensor designed to provide direct stroke measurement of hydraulic cylinders. It features a compact design and can be mounted inside the cylinder cap, enabling easy servicing and replacement of the sensor when necessary.

Use of maintenance-free technologies offer opportunities to reduce the amount of maintenance required on mobile machinery and their components, as well as the downtime associated with it. In this QuickChat with John Prokopec, Heavy-Duty Industry Manager, Bearings Division, and Stephen Bowman, Heavy-Duty Industry Manager, e-Chain Division, at igus, they provide an overview of igus’ maintenance-free plastic bearings and energy chains.

Download this eBook to learn about the technology and industry trends shaping hydraulic, pneumatic and electromechanical designs for mobile machinery. Hydraulic, pneumatic and electromechanical solutions are vital to the operation of mobile applications such as construction equipment. New design requirements continue to be placed on these technologies as machines evolve to become more automated, connected and electrified – all with the goal of helping machine owners do more with less.

Hydraulic systems provide the power density and reliability required for many aircraft operations. A key element of these systems are the hydraulic valves which determine where and when hydraulic power is delivered. These valves manage the flow of energy across the aircraft’s hydraulic network and direct hydraulic fluid to the right components at the right time to ensure that flight control, braking, and landing systems operate exactly as intended.
