Comments: Hey, I’m working on a small wireless hydraulic pressure project we’re building for our backyard roll former and wanted your opinion. I’ve been looking at the Nordic nRF54L15 because it has Bluetooth LE, very low power use, and a built-in ADC up to 14-bit resolution. On a 0–5000 PSI range, that’s about 0.3 PSI per ADC count ideally. The plan is to use a 0.5–4.5V pressure transducer, scale the signal into the ADC range, read it directly with the Nordic board, and send the pressure wirelessly without needing a separate ADS1115. We’re trying to keep parts count, enclosure size, wiring, and battery draw low. This is going on our hydraulic roll former for pressure monitoring, load changes, and possibly pressure logging during rolling and shearing. Have you used the nRF54L15 or similar Nordic chips for hydraulic sensing, and would you trust the onboard ADC for this?

Comments: Hi! Can’t thank you enough for the easy how-to on timing gerotor/geroler motors. First time tearing one apart(re-seal motor) and kept confusing myself following the manufactures repair instructions. I was about fed up with trying to decipher their gibberish and had about given up till I can across your instructions/tips on using some compressed air and how the “pocket expands”.
If you get into rebuilding/timing another, maybe add some pictures facing straight down where readers can get a slightly better picture of the internal ports and orientation of gear set? Otherwise, thanks for the tips!

Comments: Thanks so much, Sergiy, for sharing what you've learned. I've come back numerous times to the calculators and helpful practical tips on common problems. I can understand the lack of time to maintain this, but keep it up as you are able - it is much appreciated! As a hydraulic shop mechanic/owner, I would be disappointed to lose access to all this info.

Comments: Hello Sergiy,
Just in December I Have found this brilliant website, actually ChatGPT showed me your Interactive Nomogram.
Anyway, I was able to learn a lot and unfortunately late to the Show apparently, Thanks for putting all this great stuff here and also for keeping the site up!
Perhaps there is a more modern(which by no means is equal to better) Way to distribute your Knowledge and Stories.
Either Way, I am recently diving into Hydraulics a lot, learning as much as I can from fixing our obsolete old Machines. Funnily enough since I started looking Into Hydraulics more, all the Hydraulic Stuff is constantly Breaking. Loaders A4V56DA had no more boost pressure, Tractor spat oil from the Aux. Control Valves, Small loader got Rubber in the Priority Valve, Cylinders leaking. ... And Each time I have a new problem Icome here and checkout if you got something covering the Topic, Thanks again!

Comments: website from the when the internet was still useful. best discussion of all things hydraulics, especially given that so little written down on these systems anywhere else. hope to see the site continue

Comments: In the dead internet era, where every article is written by AI and usually incorrect, this website is a beacon of sanity. Keep up the great work.

Comments: I am looking for information system By John Deere ( Bosch Rexroth ) 85 cm3 pump .. there is a system to reduce noise på 8 db. and reduce pressure peaks .. PCV it is a chamber inside pump connected to port P like but JD Also tells that there is a small amount of oilflow from P to T.
