What makes mobile hydraulics different from industrial?
The need for lower weight, size and costs mean that mobile machinery often sets the stage for power density improvements in fluid power. Josh Cosford • Contributing Editor
All hydraulic machinery should be similar in scope and design, one would think. After all, the point of fluid power is to transmit force. Why should any given mobile machine be vastly different in its execution
force, can’t this be achieved with the same pumps, the same valves and the same actuators?
