Hydraulic system upgrades to boost performance and save money
Fourth Quarter 2025, Hydraulic systems & components, CT Hydraulics (Nqoba)

Those working with hydraulic or pneumatic systems know that keeping your machinery running at peak performance balances productivity and cost. As systems age, they often become less efficient, requiring more energy and more frequent repairs. The good news is that you don’t always need to invest in an entirely new machine to solve these problems.

BMG and Danfoss Drives reaffirm their long-standing partnership
Fourth Quarter 2025, News & events, Bearing Man Group T/A BMG

BMG and Danfoss Drives are celebrating a decade of close collaboration, strengthening BMG’s original distribution agreement for Danfoss variable speed drives and soft starter range.

The advantages of using an adjustable cable gland

Pratley continues to demonstrate its engineering leadership with its innovative adjustable cable gland, designed to significantly reduce maintenance and labour costs across a wide range of industrial applications.

The role of analogue gauges in a digital world
Fourth Quarter 2025, Pneumatic systems & components, SA Gauge

With so much focus on digital systems, remote monitoring and automation, it’s easy to assume that traditional analogue gauges are outdated. Yet in almost any plant, mine or processing facility, you’ll still find them in daily use. There’s a good reason for this.

Heavy impact, smart control
Fourth Quarter 2025, Hydraulic systems & components, Editor's Choice, Axiom Hydraulics

Every now and then a project lands on your desk that’s equal parts heavy machinery and fine control - a tantalising mix for any engineer. A client approached Axiom Hydraulics with a project exactly like this.
