Fluid power systems are widely used in industrial and mobile applications thanks to some clear advantages in the power transmission, but they also have some critical issues: one of the…

In the hydraulic servo-cylinders design, the circumferential grooves are used in order to reduce the effect of the locking force.  This force arises as a consequence to the distribution of…

Hydraulic manifolds are used to realize compact circuit layouts, but may introduce a high pressure drop in the system. In fact, their design is optimized more for achieving minimum size…

Hydraulic servo cylinders are widely used in versatile industrial applications such as machine tools, test rigs for any kind of components, industrial robots, autonomous manufacturing systems and special applications in…

In this paper, a 0D fluid dynamic model of a vane pump used to refill tanks with fuel is presented. The model is entirely developed in OpenModelica environment, where SmartFluidPower…
