In hydraulic manifold design, many choices that appear secondary — such as the distance between two elbows or the inclination of a connecting passage — can lead to pressure losses very…
This work, presented by the SmartFluidPower team at the Bath/ASME FPMC 2020 international conference, takes an in-depth look at the role of circumferential grooves in hydraulic servo-cylinder pistons and proposes…
Behavior of fluids in hydraulic circuits: how their properties affect system performance In hydraulic systems, fluid is not simply a means of transmitting power, but an active element that directly…
Hydraulic servo cylinders are widely used in high-performance industrial applications, such as machine tools, test benches for various components, industrial robots, autonomous production systems, and special laboratory equipment. They are…
Hydraulic manifolds are used to realize compact circuit layouts, but may introduce a high pressure drop in the system. In fact, their design is optimized more for achieving minimum size…
In this paper, a 0D fluid dynamic model of a vane pump used to refill tanks with fuel is presented. The model is entirely developed in OpenModelica environment, where SmartFluidPower…
Fluid power systems are widely used in industrial and mobile applications thanks to some clear advantages in the power transmission, but they also have some critical issues: one of the…
