A servo valve is a type of electrically-operating fluid management device, and such components are capable of managing hydraulic fluids as they are directed to an actuator. With a small electrical signal, servo valves can operate powerful hydraulic cylinders with ease. Within the realm of defense, servo valves are key elements of countless machinery, vehicles, and other assemblies, facilitating the operations of supersonic fighter jets, launch vehicles, RADAR arrays, missile systems, and so much more. Servo valves are also utilized for aircraft carriers, ensuring that they can operate safely and efficiently. Read more >>

Centrifugal pumps are common mechanical devices that are capable of transferring fluids within a system, relying on rotational energy that is supplied by one or more motor driven rotor components known as impellers. With their use, centrifugal pumps find implementation in residential water supply systems, fire protection systems, sewage, food and beverage manufacturing, chemical production, oil and gas industrial applications, and much more. To help you understand how they benefit such industries and applications, we will discuss the functionality of such pumps below. Read more >>

A capacitor is a common form of electrical device, capable of storing energy as an electric field. With two metal plates separated with a dielectric or non-conducting substance, such components may either exhibit fixed or variable capacitance based on their type. Fixed capacitance variations are the most common, being further split into film capacitor, electrolytic capacitor, superconductor capacitor, and ceramic capacitor types. In this blog, we will be discussing the ceramic capacitor in particular, allowing you to better understand how such components function. Read more >>
