In industrial automation, connectivity isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of efficiency, visibility, and resilience. Yet too often, fluid power systems remain siloed: powerful actuators and valves controlled by legacy interfaces that can’t talk to modern SCADA, IIoT platforms, or predictive maintenance tools. That’s why Parker Hannifin has expanded its SensoControl controller family—adding new models, communication […]
What if you could generate vacuum pressure without a motor, compressed air, or lubricants? Researchers at **Saarland University **(Germany) are making that vision a reality—with an ultrathin polymer film that could redefine how we think about fluid power and actuation. Showcased at Hannover Messe 2026 (Hall 11, Stand D41), this breakthrough prototype isn’t just a […]
Global motion and control technology company Parker Hannifin has expanded its DFplus proportional valve series with a new IO-Link Class B interface, enhancing connectivity and simplifying integration in modern hydraulic systems. The latest addition to the DFplus range is designed to improve communication between hydraulic components and digital control systems. With IO-Link connectivity, users can […]
The pump industry is an enormous industry and plays a critical role in almost every facet of our lives. Water supply, fire protection, oil & gas, power plants, waste water treatment, sump pumps at homes, processing chemicals, foods & pharmaceuticals, and many more.
