Hydraulic Hybrids on the Rise
The city of New York teamed with Bosch Rexroth Corp., Rochester Hills, Mich., to examine and test the use of hybrid vehicle technology in refuse trucks. Bosch Rexroth was chosen by Calstart's Hybrid Truck Users Forum (HTUF) to contribute its Hydrostatic Regenerative Brake (HRB) parallel hydraulic hybrid system to the project, which will be deployed and tested in New York. The HRB system includes a hydrostatic hybrid drive that uses hydraulics instead of batteries to substantially reduce fuel consumption, even in heavy commercial vehicles.

Popular H1 Hydrostatic Pump Family
AMES, IA: Sauer-Danfoss has announced the release of its new H1 115/130cc pump, a popular size that joins the successful line of H1 pumps. The H1 pump family was introduced in 2005, and continued to grow through 2007 with the H1 45/53cc single pump and the 78cc single pump. The release demonstrates Sauer-Danfoss' continued commitment to fill the demand for electric-actuated pumps that maximize hydraulic system efficiency and add value to machine operating performance across a broad field of mobile machinery. The H1 family of closed-circuit variable displacement axial piston pumps is compact and features high power density, resulting in ease of installation and increased design flexibility. All the units utilize an integral electro-hydraulic servo piston assembly that controls rate and direction of hydraulic flow. H1 pumps can be used with other Sauer-Danfoss pumps and motors in the hydraulic system. --- Sauer-Danfoss Co.

QLF15 Base-Ported Filter
LEETSDALE, PA: Schroeder Industries, a recognized leader in filtration and fluid conditioning products, introduces its QLF15 Base-Ported Filter, offering the highest flow capacity of any hydraulic filter in its line-up. The QLF15 is ideal for mining, steel mills and pulp and paper applications. The L-ported design of the QLF15 allows for installation flexibility. Capable of high flow rates up to 500 gpm (or 1900 L/min), the QLF15 is equipped with a fast acting stainless steel bypass valve. Available in re-cleanable metal mesh, plastic coreless or deep-pleated media for higher dirt holding capacity, the QLF15 has a maximum operating pressure of 1500 psi (100 bar), and a temperature range of -20°F to 225°F (-29°C to 107°C). Available in both 16" and 39", is designed with a porting base and cap of ductile iron, and an element case of steel. --- Schroeder Industries

USB Hydraulic System Analyzer
RACINE: WI: Flo-tech™, a product division of the Racine Flow Meter Group, introduces the Flo-Check USB Hydraulic System Analyzer. Representing the next generation of hydraulic test equipment, this technologically advanced device simultaneously measures flow, pressure, temperature and power within a hydraulic system. Data is received from the Analyzer through a standard USB cable and it is displayed and logged through a custom Windows®-based software application (both software and cable are included). The unit is bi-directional and includes a low-resistance load valve and internal pressure relief discs. The Flo-Check USB Hydraulic System Analyzer can be used as a stationary or portable tester and is ideal for testing, troubleshooting and diagnosing service issues for any piece of hydraulic equipment, such as front-end loaders, cranes and excavators, and for setting hydraulic components including pumps, valves and motors. It features flow, pressure and temperature sensors that are monitored by a data acquisition module. --- Flo-Tech Hydraulic Diagnostic Products
