A deep dive into the technological progress of today’s smart valves, bearings, brakes, gearboxes and actuators, and what’s next.

Similar to testing a car, a team of researchers at UBC Okanagan has been test-driving a number of mechanical heart valves (MHV)—and the one designed in their own lab appears to outperform the others.

Zipp integrates new AXS wheel sensor into 353 NSW and 303 SW, alongside wheel updates, a new hub system and Goodyear tyre ...

Ever wondered why large trucks and trailers use air brakes instead of the hydraulic brakes found in most cars? In this video, we break down the engineering and safety reasons behind this essential ...

The controller then directs a hydraulic valve to release some brake fluid pressure to the wheel in order to let it rotate again. This process repeats many times per second until the vehicle stops or ...

Abstract: Accurate linear brake-pressure control in a hydraulic control unit (HCU) of the vehicle dynamics control system, such as the electronic-stability control (ESC) system, can improve the ...

Miniaturized pumps and valves that rely on the ... of pressure (30% of standard atmospheric pressure). Vacuum technology is ubiquitous, from the home vacuum sealers used to keep foods fresher for ...

It uses the valves of the wheel cylinder to reduce hydraulic pressure to prevent the wheels from locking during hard braking and retain the grip and control of the tyres. Another system that works ...
