Development within the hydraulics industry has been static for decades, supplying customers with products and systems that are outdated, ineffective, and wasteful. There is almost no better example of this than traditional valves. A common flaw in the design of these valves is parasitic loss. Two-stage valves use a pilot
The timber processing industry is an essential component of the global economy, providing the raw materials for many of the products that we use every day. In this industry, hydraulic servo valves play a crucial role in various applications such as optimisers, band saws, veneer lathes, and more. However, these
The robotics industry has seen significant advancements in recent years thanks to the development of new technologies. Domin, a leading manufacturer of hydraulic systems, has been driving innovation in robotics with next-generation servo valves. Customers are becoming consistently more conscious of reliability and energy efficiency. Domin aims to address these
Plastics manufacturing relies on hydraulic technology to produce a wide range of plastic products, including injection molding, extrusion blow molding, and more. However, with the aim to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and profitability, manufacturers are facing significant challenges with their hydraulic systems. Higher Reliability for Plastics Manufacturers With machines operating around
Metal processing relies on hydraulic technology to power the machines that produce a wide range of metal products, from structures to automotive parts. The industry faces significant challenges with its hydraulic systems as it aims to increase efficiency, reliability, and profitability. Reliability, Contamination Resistance & Failure Detection Unwavering reliability is
Considering industries such as Aerospace and Robotics rely heavily on hydraulics, why is the technology so out of date? Where companies like Tesla and Instagram are redefining their sectors, it’s about time that the hydraulic industry went through an overhaul. Domin is driving a technological revolution to reimagine hydraulic performance. Does
By harnessing the power of additive manufacturing and other 21st-century technologies, Domin has taken a largely common design (the linear servo valve) and has created a unique interpretation of rotary control that squeezes out every possible drop of performance. We then took the manual for a ‘traditional’ hydraulic servo valve
Domin set out to design, manufacture and test the concept of a light, low cost and efficient integrated dual hydraulic valve control module within a helicopter’s primary flight control. Domin designed an in-line tandem jack primary flight control actuator with an integral jam redundant hydraulic control valve with quadruplex electrical
The Fluid Power sector is quickly picking up and running with metal Additive Manufacturing, seeing its obvious potential benefits to size, weight and design freedom. However, is the industry missing the more important benefit of a holistic redesign revolution? Metal Additive Manufacturing gives you unrivalled design freedom, not complete design freedom, but
Traditionally, the fluid power industry has separated products into different markets such as Aerospace and Industrial, developing products that are optimal for the functional requirements of the respective markets. There are many common requirements such as performance, efficiency and reliability. However, there is a significant difference in the value of
Designing a high-performance engineered product with metal additive manufacturing typically requires a multidisciplinary approach to design. Managing the Design of a Mechanical Product is a Highly Complex Task It requires gathering and understanding significant amounts of data and making decisions with that data. In order to make the best decision,
Domin were set the project brief of designing and testing a lightweight, high power density and high torque fixed displacement pump. The specification demanded a highly efficient, low speed (4,000 rpm) and high torque positive displacement pump. Domin were awarded an Innovate UK funded smart project to prove the concept
