In the first part, we explained how the original goal of creating a “hydraulic transmission” inside a cylinder led to the patent of a cartridge amplifier for hydraulic cylinders — the Cartridge Amplifier. Its natural evolution then became a complete system: the SmartCylinder. Marco Sighinolfi, CTO and R&D Manager at Idraulica Sighinolfi, continues in this […]
