Our biggest print issue of the year for Fluid Power World is our Fluid Power Handbook and it will be published in July this year.  As you may know, this issue is a very useful resource for technical information about a wide range of fluid power components. The main purpose of this issue is to provide our readers with some baseline information on the many components that make up a fluid power system, either hydraulic or pneumatic. Every issue of Fluid Power World and all of our online resources provide a steady offering of in-depth product explanations and application stories about fluid power systems.  But our Handbook provides needed content about the whole range of components making this our most popular issue of the year.  If you are not already subscribing to Fluid Power World but would like to start a free subscription, simply click here and follow the steps.

If you find the information useful in this Handbook, I invite you to...

If you have not yet registered to attend the 2017 Fluid Power Technology Conference in Milwaukee on May 16-17, 2017, you still have time to do so.  Please visit our website for registration information  http://www.fluidpowertechconference.com We welcome back an exhibitor and presenter from last year from the Milwaukee area, Milwaukee Cylinder.  They will be exhibiting and doing a seminar presentation titled Enhancing Productivity - Extending Cylinder Life and Reducing Cylinder Maintenance Cycles. Downtime, whether planned or un-planned can be costly.  What if downtime related to cylinder use could be reduced?  Cylinder life and maintenance cycles are a factor of many issues – operation, environment, and design.  This topic will explore various opportunities to increase the life and reduce the maintenance cycle of a cylinder, discussing all the factors noted as well as focusing on specific design and instrumentation possibilities.  They will be in...
