Advanced Fluid Power Engineering
Today's motion and control challenges demand technically advanced, energy efficient solutions. The quest for ever higher productivity has resulted in components and systems which are smaller, lighter, more durable and more accurate than ever before. Parker's sophisticated hydraulic actuation systems are delivering precision motion and control in applications as diverse as lock gate control, food production and solar energy.
Lightweight Hydraulics - Delivering Higher ProductivityIn a steel mill or similar application, a hydraulic cylinder has to be rugged, low cost and low maintenance. Weight is unimportant. In an aerial lifting application, though, every kilogram saved means greater payload, lower fuel consumption and higher productivity. Between these two ends of the spectrum, there is a trade-off between weight and cost which differs for each application. In addition to higher productivity, reduced weight can mean easier, safer handling; quicker, lower-cost maintenance or lighter, simpler mounting structures. |
Lightweight Composite Hydraulics SolutionsWith many years of experience in the development of composite materials, Parker has engineered lightweight hydraulic cylinders, actuators and accumulators with fully composite barrels which offer dramatic weight savings combined with exceptional burst and fatigue strengths. |
Lightweight Composite Hydraulics TechnologyParker Hydraulics' advanced composite products and technology are the result of an enduring commitment to R&D. Our unique material formulation and proven filament winding process enhance impact resistance and prevent delamination. |
Compact Fluid Power - When Space is CriticalLow weight, small footprint, high power - the Compact EHA hydraulic linear actuator has been developed by Parker to offer all of the features required by both OEMs and end users. Rugged and robust in construction, Compact EHA is available with a wide range of options, making it easy to match compact hydraulic technology to the exact needs of your application. |
Compact Electro-Hydraulic Actuator SolutionsCompact EHA is a unique and innovative linear actuator solution when you need high power density yet have restricted space, or where conventional pneumatic or electromechanical devices are incapable of delivering the levels of performance, functionality or reliability that you require. |
Compact Electro-Hydraulic Actuator TechnologyThe design and construction of Compact EHA enables it to produce exceptionally high levels of force. Suitable for use in any orientation, it is an innovative, free-standing actuator solution which can be driven from a 12 volt or 24 volt DC electrical supply. |
