Isn't that what every hydraulic system designer and machined operator wants for their hydraulic system? While a perfectly leak-free system may be difficult to achieve and completely clean fluid is difficult to maintain, there are many stories about how to be successful at both missions.  That is why we created this website Sealing & Contamination Control Tips   The idea is for our advertisers and our audience to share success stories. These stories are posted to this new website and then pushed out through our Sealing & Contamination Control Tips e-newsletter to interested users.  So, feel free to share your sealing and filtration success stories with us so that we can make them known throughout the industry.

We have another great issue planned for the August 2017 issue of Fluid Power World .   As usual, we will be covering all of the fluid power bases with pneumatics, industrial fluid power, mobile hydraulics, a product focus, and our regular monthly departments. Fluid Power in Utility Equipment represents an important segment of mobile hydraulics that is very similar to construction equipment.   Consider all of the mobile vehicles used to maintain utilities across America and you will get a feel for the size of this market.   Our August issue will feature an application story on this mobile market.   We will also preview the ICUEE Show that serves the utility equipment market. Packaging is, of course, a very major segment of the overall pneumatics user market and our editors will take a look at pneumatic applications used to package goods for many end-use markets.   The PackExpo Show will take place in September and our August issue will preview that show....

As a member of the NFPA, I regularly take in their quarterly economic webcasts presented by the Institute for Trends Research also known as ITR.  You may be familiar with their most familiar faces, Alan and Brian Beaulieu, who regularly educate and entertain the audience at the NFPA's Industry and Economic Outlook Conference. By the way, if you have attended in the past or are interested in attending this year, the registration is now open at NFPA .  I highly recommend this event to anyone with a business interest in the fluid power industry and the many markets served by fluid power technology. At the end of May, the update was done by Chris Steel, an economist at ITR and I would like to share a little of what he presented.  Overall, it looks like the remainder of 2017 and all of 2018 will be good years for our industry.  We may be looking at a minor recession in 2019, however. The forecast for the fluid power industry is positive for this year and next year w...
