A waste of time. I did a search for hydraulic. I got a list of articles about products but no research. I saw a link to a USB hydraulic system analyzer. I clicked on the "set the full article" button and there was no article, but there were links to Google ads. I guess I am supposed to register. Why bother? I found the information faster using Google. I don't need to register or anything.

Peter;
Did you notice there were more articles on Water than on Oil hydraulics?

That's what you get from a discipline that is run by the manufacturers for everything from Concept to TRAINING. It took the Trained Electrical types to come up with a VFD Drive on Fixed Volume Pumps to give the last, what I consider, Big Breakthrough. Of course Electrical types are TRAINED.

Should not be that way but, as I have been saying for 20+ years, NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE UNTIL USERS OF THE PRODUCTS KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE DISCIPLINE TO GIVE SOME INTELLIGENT FEEDBACK OR EVEN COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS.

Oh well, Someday, Maybe.

Peter;

Did you try any other Search for any other discipline??????

I may have given a Bumb Steer, But it looked like a good thing since it looked at articles in all the publications not just papers.

Peter;

I searched for "fluid Power"hydraulics+pneumatics" and got this Gem from "The Engineer" July 2003:

And there are several more Electric oferings that can replace fluid power since then.

Searching "Fluid Power" brought up this one thought was interesting
