🏗️ Steady Growth from 2013 to 2023 The Fluid Power sector – including both hydraulics and pneumatics – experienced solid growth over the past decade, particularly in Europe and Italy. In Italy, total revenues rose from approximately €2.8 billion in…
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 and weight than for reducing pressure losses. This work studies the…
A major milestone in our growth journey: VIS Hydraulics – B Corp Certified officially joins SmartFluidPower as a strategic partner, combining strengths to revolutionize advanced design in the fluid power sector. This strategic alliance is born from a shared vision:…
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 have created specific libraries of elements suitable for the physical…
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…
SmartFluidPower proudly took part in BAUMA 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, equipment, and technologies. Held in Munich from April 7 to 13, the event brought together key players and innovators in the field of heavy equipment…
There is excitement in Emilia in the world of hydraulics.  From the European project LIFE PowerCylinder, featuring the patent for a cartridge amplifier for hydraulic cylinders (Cartridge Amplifier), to the goal of integrating simulation into the daily processes of engineering offices.  Idraulica…
An energy recovery system in a hydraulic circuit using a small Pelton turbine.  This is the industrial invention patent born from the collaboration between two companies from Emilia-Romagna – Modena-based SmartFluidPower Srl and Reggio Emilia-based ELT Fluid – which, working side by side…
Creating a virtuous network of collaborations between the public and private sectors, between universities and businesses, to advance research in the field of hydraulics—each according to their expertise, each according to their needs.  This is how, for years now, prestigious entities…
