There is a lot to know about air and hydraulic cylinders.  They are the workhorse of many hydraulic  and pneumatic systems across many applications both mobile and industrial.   Here is a link  to a free webinar presented by Fluid Power World and Josh Cosford on the subject. I thank our sponsors for this webinar, Ametek Factory Automation and Tribute.  Their sponsorship makes this learning experience possible.  The webinar will be archived on our website so please refer your colleagues to view the on-demand version of the website. Here is a brief preview of what you can expect from this webinar: Air and hydraulic cylinders come in all shapes and sizes, but most often they are configured to suit standard applications. With standard applications comes standard options, but you’ll be happy to know cylinders can be brought to the next level with myriad special options for more advanced functions.

The Fluid Power World digital media network will be launching a new learning tool called The Virtual Classroom. The first lesson in our Virtual Classroom series is titled "Give Your Cylinder a Bath - Hydraulic System Cleanliness from the Cylinder and Beyond and it will be presented by Tony Casassa of Aggressive Hydraulics.  The classroom opens on August 30th, but, being virtual, it will stay open.  You can access the information for free at any time from the Fluid Power World website . Here is a brief preview of the lesson: In the fluid power industry, hydraulic cylinders have a reputation for contributing to fluid contamination and the resultant wear and failures. Indeed, there are several opportunities in the process of manufacturing cylinders for contamination to be introduced. However, it is possible to overcome the obstacles and provide a product the meets the customer's hydraulic cleanliness expectations. We will share some lessons we have learned in our journe...

Here is another preview of the excellent content that will be presented from the stages of the 2018 Fluid Power Technology Conference: Give Your Cylinder a Bath: Hydraulic System Cleanliness From the Cylinder and Beyond Presented by: In the fluid power industry, hydraulic cylinders have a reputation for contributing to fluid contamination and the resultant wear and failures. Indeed, there are several opportunities in the process of manufacturing cylinders for contamination to be introduced. However, it is possible to overcome the obstacles and provide a product that meets the customer's hydraulic cleanliness expectations. We will share some lessons we have learned in our journey which will be relevant for all aspects of our industry: component manufacturers, OEMs, end users, and service & repair. Speaker: Tony Casassa Application Engineer Aggressive Hydraulics Register today to attend this very important and educational fluid power event.

We currently have an on-demand webinar on our Fluid Power World website about hydraulic cylinders and I invite you to take a look. Here is a link  for you to register for this free webinar.  At Fluid Power World, we produce and promote educational webinars on a regular basis.  Take a look.

I would like to share some information about a new sponsor and a returning sponsor to our Fluid Power Technology Conference.  As you know, the event will be held at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, Kern Center, on May 16-17, 2017.  It will include a tour of the lab at the Fluid Power Institute done by our partner and co-sponsor Tom Wanke of MSOE. The new sponsor to the 2017 event is IC-Fluid Power and they will be doing a presentation from the FPTC stage as well as exhibiting.  Their talk is titled How can pressure intensifiers simplify and reduce costs in hydraulic systems?  The presenter is Anders Levinsen and he is   the Sales & Marketing Manager at ScanWill Fluid Power ApS.  With over 20 years of experience with industrial products, Anders is in charge of world-wide business development of hydraulic pressure intensifiers. He holds degrees from Aarhus Business College in Denmark in Economics and International Marketing.  We hope t...
