Hydraulic vs. all-electric injection molding machines compared for energy efficiency, applications, and business ...

Efficiency is a key design criteria for almost all components and systems on a piece of heavy-duty equipment—as well as for the machine itself. Hydraulics are one of the many areas in which ...

Energy efficiency is often considered to be the main advantage of electric injection molding machines, but that neglects many ...

These days, almost every component and system in a piece of heavy equipment is becoming more intelligent through the incorporation of sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT). “The core vision of IoT ...

Hybrid injection molding machines offer the superior clamping force of hydraulic machines and the precision, repeatability, energy savings, and reduced noise of electric machines. On the shop floor, ...

Hydraulic fluids have become integral to construction, manufacturing, agriculture and numerous other industries. Without them, companies would have less efficiency and power in multiple applications.

• Quick-acting valves and mechanical impact can generate hydraulic shock waves. • Shock and pulsating flow cause noise and can lead to premature system failure. • In-line shock suppressors smooth out ...

Wind turbines that swap traditional mechanical drivetrains for hydraulics could potentially be lighter, more reliable, and less expensive than those fielded today. • A nacelle-mounted hydraulic ...
