In this episode of Fluid Power Forum, host Eric Lanke interviews David Lundquist, Global Product Manager at Hydraulic Technologies, about high-pressure, heavy-load hydraulic systems and the push toward electrification and cordless jobsite performance. The conversation focuses on synchronous motion to reduce stress on heavy structures and improve safety.
Lundquist compares the long-established MCS synchronous system with the newer eSync system, a modular, two-person-carry platform that can connect to many existing pumps and cylinders and is available in cordless configurations that eliminate generators for remote, low-fume, or noise-sensitive environments.
Field examples include bridge bearing replacement lifts and lateral push/pull applications like skidding tunnel boring machines and precision compression work in data centers. Lundquist also shares major projects, including lifting the Palace Theater in Times, and highly precise rotor maintenance work at the Niagara Falls hydropower plant.
