    Another Oldie but Goodie: Improved Hose Routing

    April 7, 2016
    When I research topics dealing with fluid power on the internet, results often pop up from our own website. No surprise there; that's how it should be. Sometimes, though, it's counter-productive because I get off track because I can't resist reading the article the search engine pointed me to.

    I recently came across a short article about how  a machine was improved simply designing the hose and tubing assembly that carried fluid from one portion of a stump cutter to another. The principles, or course, could apply to any machine, not just a stump cutter. And just because the article is a little more than 10 years old doesn't make any less beneficial.

    This is a short article, so it will be a very quick read. Click here to view it.
