        Yokohama Galaxy LHD 510 SDS Traction Tire 

        Yokohama Off-Highway Tires releases the Galaxy LHD 510 SDS Traction Tire, delivering traction indoors and out with deep shoulder grooves connected across the tread face by S-lug channels and a rugged chip-and-chunk-resistant compound. 

        According to the company’s press release announcing the launch of the Galaxy LHD 510 SDS, it is a true traction tire, designed to provide substantially more grip in varying conditions than smooth tires can deliver. The deep grooves allow maneuverability in water or mud, while continuous S-lug channels ensure maximum traction by creating a horizontal pattern across the entire tread surface, This helps prevent the tire from spinning on wet surfaces, the company said in its press release. 

        Features of the Galaxy LHD 510 SDS Traction Tire include: 

        • Creel bead wires across the entire rim area 

        • Available in the 20.5-25, 23.5-25, 26.5-25 and 29.5-29 sizes that are most common on wheel loaders 

        • Maintains tight, uniform contact with the entire surface of the rim to turn the loader's torque into action, not rim slip 

        • Designed with apertures for heat dissipation and cushion against external shocks

        Bosch Rexroth Pre-Compensated Valve Platform 

        Bosch Rexroth launches the Pre-Compensated Valve Platform for use in mobile machinesMultiple valves can be combined into a single system which minimizes the need for adapter plates or custom finishes. Per the company’s press release announcing the launch of the valve platform, it helps to reduce installation time and service costs, as well as related costs for hydraulic system assembly, plumbing and fittings.  

        Three of Rexroth’s load-sensing directional control valves are incorporated into the platform:the compact EDG directional control valve, the RM 10 and RM 15 load-sensing directional control valves, and the M4-12 control block. 

        Features of the valve platform include: 

        • All valves in the platform support pre-compensated load-sensing capabilities to ensure proper hydraulic flow is delivered to each function, independent of overall loads on the hydraulic systems 

        • Modular control concept in which a single solution can mix multiple valves, scaled by flow and pressure requirements, and seamlessly combine basic valves with highly featured ones 

        • Load-sensing valves can also help reduce hydraulic cooling system size and costs, as well as potentially lower engine horsepower requirements
