OFCO Cross Reference Guide

OFCO creates parts cross-reference guide

Ohio Fabricators Company (OFCO) has created a new tool on its website that allows OEMs, distributors and end-users to search for equivalent OFCO parts when a manufacturer, part number or part description is known. The search tool allows users to quickly find OFCO equivalents which normally ship in days from OFCO’s Ohio facility, rather than weeks … [Read More...] about OFCO creates parts cross-reference guide

Hunting ghosts in your machines with sonar

Air is a troublesome contaminant in hydraulic fluid. Once it enters and becomes entrained, it's a pain to remove. If it goes undetected or unmitigated, it can delay system response, decrease performance, degrade the fluid, and wreak havoc on … [Read More...] about Hunting ghosts in your machines with sonar

This image from Hercules Sealing Products showcases different hydraulic seal geometries, including O-rings, T-seals, U-cups (lip seals), rod wipers, quad rings, and crown seals. Each seal type is designed for specific applications, ensuring effective fluid containment, reduced friction, and extended equipment life in hydraulic systems. Selecting the right seal geometry is crucial for optimizing performance and preventing leaks in demanding environments.

How do seal geometries affect performance?

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Let’s start by stating the obvious: seal geometries matter, or the fluid power realm would use only geometrically simple O-rings. The other two critical factors for effective seal performance are polymer … [Read More...] about How do seal geometries affect performance?
