Industry news:
The critical role of check valves
Third Quarter 2025, Shaft power components, Parker Hannifin - Sales Company South Africa

In fluid power systems, the performance and reliability of the entire operation often hinge on components that are small in size but significant in function. Among these, the check valve stands out as a fundamental yet frequently overlooked element.

Reinventing the wheel
Third Quarter 2025, Electrical switching & drive systems & components, Editor's Choice

Once a curiosity in the early automotive age, in-wheel motors are now re-emerging with real promise. From electric cars to commercial vehicles and even aircraft, they are on the verge of transforming transportation engineering.

Sustainability is transforming fluid power
Third Quarter 2025, Electrical switching & drive systems & components, Technews Publishing

Sustainability is reshaping the future of fluid power. With the growing demand for cleaner, more efficient technologies and tightening global regulations, fluid power systems are being re-engineered for higher efficiency, lower emissions and reduced material usage.

Redefining industrial lifting
Third Quarter 2025, Electrical switching & drive systems & components

The Konecranes S-series hoist redefines industrial lifting through its integration of a ground-breaking synthetic rope with smart features, a lifting capacity of 20 tons, and the ability to adapt to diverse girder configurations.

It’s full steam ahead for SKF’s sustainable leak detection solution
Third Quarter 2025, Pneumatic systems & components, SKF South Africa

One of SKF’s key customers based in Cape Town, which depends on steam systems for its production processes, was facing costly challenges related to high energy consumption and excessive maintenance hours. SKF recommended the TKSU 10 ultrasonic leak detector as a more streamlined, user-friendly alternative.

RS South Africa showcases industrial solutions at MTE Phalaborwa
Third Quarter 2025, News & events, RS South Africa
