  • Exploring Hydraulic Motors: Types, Uses, and Benefits

    Hydraulic motors are essential in a wide range of industrial and mobile settings, providing power for everything from heavy equipment to aerospace systems. As a key element of hydraulic systems, they transform hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, enabling movement. In this article, we’ll explore the various types, applications, and advantages of hydraulic motors, highlighting their critical role in many industries.

  • The Role of Accumulators in Hydraulic Power Pack Design

    In hydraulic systems, accumulators play a pivotal role in ensuring system efficiency, reliability, and energy conservation. Their inclusion in power packs is often essential for enhancing performance and protecting the system from pressure fluctuations.

  • Hydraulic System Design: 5 Tips for Optimal Performance

    Hydraulic systems are vital across numerous industries, driving machinery, vehicles, and equipment with unmatched precision and efficiency. However, creating an effective hydraulic system involves more than just assembling parts—it requires a deep understanding of flow rates, pressure levels, component selection, and seamless system integration. As experts in the bespoke design of hydraulic systems, Neilson Hydraulics ensures that every detail is considered to deliver optimal performance and reliability.

  • Demystifying Hydraulic Systems: A Beginner's Guide

    At its core, a hydraulic system is a mechanical arrangement that uses liquid under pressure to generate force and motion. Unlike electric or pneumatic systems, which use electricity or air, hydraulic systems rely on fluids—typically oil or water—to transmit power. The incompressible nature of liquids makes hydraulic systems highly efficient for handling heavy loads with precision and control.

  • IMO Slew Drives And Slew Rings

    IMO is a specialist in turning and slewing solutions. Since 1988, IMO has been developing and producing IMO slewing rings and slew drives for the most varied of application areas. The company has two production locations in Gremsdorf in the Nuremberg metropolitan region in Germany. 

  • Hydraulic Oil: A Comprehensive Guide

    Hydraulic oil is a specially designed fluid used to transmit power within hydraulic systems. It consists of a base oil and various additives. The base oil can be either mineral or synthetic, or a combination of both. Mineral oil, derived from crude oil, is cost-effective, whereas synthetic oil is engineered to provide superior performance under extreme conditions. Additives are included to enhance specific properties of the oil, such as viscosity, anti-wear characteristics, and oxidation resistance.

  • 10 Signs Your Hydraulic Power Pack Needs Maintenance

    Hydraulic power packs are essential to many industrial applications, supplying the force needed to operate machinery, equipment, and systems with accuracy and efficiency. These compact but powerful units contain a collection of components that work together to produce hydraulic power, making them crucial across various industries, including manufacturing, construction, agriculture and many more

  • DES-CASE Breathers

    Desiccant Breathers are a vital step in contamination control. Studies have shown 50-70% of lubricant contamination can come from outside the equipment.


    As most machines are designed to 'breathe', protecting the source of air-flow from moisture and particulate contamination is vital. Des-Case Breathers attack the source of contamination, making the products an affordable and cost effective solution to extend lubricant life and to increase equipment productivity.
