Solid Edge
3D CAD Software
The best product designers have an edge.
Product designers have never been more important to
the success of their companies. Creative, efficient
designers are the key to delivering better products faster.
Too often, however, CAD tools get in the way of their talent—and the company’s success.
Solid Edge with synchronous technology is different. It
helps you create designs more intuitively. It helps you
instantly revise any design, even complex designs from
other CAD systems. And it’s built on our bulletproof
Parasolid kernel – the industry-standard for reliable
performance.

E
very year, another federal budget comes out, sending various sectors into a
flurry of cheers for increased spending and dire warnings of the consequences
funding cuts will bring about. There may be much to argue about in the budget
unveiled in March, but it’s hard to dispute that innovation isn’t high on its list of
objectives. In total, it allocates almost $1.6 billion in innovation spending.
Specifically, the budget is interested in fostering the broader sense of the word
rather than focusing on the narrower “invention” definition. In other words, it places
greater emphasis on the “D” rather than the “R” in Research and Development.
Thrown into the mix is the often unstated “C” for Commercialization. While
it can be argued that Canadians are every bit as creative as their counterparts in
other industrialized countries, we often get poor marks for successfully bringing
those creations to market. Since the 1980s, the Conference Board of Canada has
given Canada a “D” grade in innovation.
That’s not due as much to a lack of patent filings or ground-breaking research,
but to the comparatively little profit derived from either. According to the Global
Innovation Index for 2011, Canada ranked eighth in innovation inputs and tenth
in outputs but 54th in terms of innovation efficiency.
To engineer this shift towards measurable results, the budget closely follows
recommendations put forward in the Expert Panel Report, Innovation Canada: A
Call to Action. First and foremost, the report advocated restructuring the Scientific
Research and Education Development (SR&ED) tax credit program. The most
significant change is that, starting in 2014, capital expenditures will no longer be
eligible. The intent behind the policy changes is to take complexity out of the SR&ED
application process and shift compensation toward SME’s labour-related costs.
While the budget squeezes SR&ED, new funding is being pumped into more
direct forms of support, again, in line with the Expert Panel Report. For example,
the budget proposes doubling contributions made to the Industrial Research
Assistance Program (IRAP), an initiative administered by the National Research
Council to fund innovation within SMEs.
In addition, the Canada Foundation for Innovation will receive $100 million
annually, for next five years, to support the private sector though research conducted
in Canadian Universities. And, to address the dearth of Canadian VC money, the
budget allocates an extra $100 million to the Business Development Bank’s venture
capital activities as well as $400 million to create large-scale venture capital funds.
The only panel major recommendation missing from the budget was the formation of a proposed Industrial Research and Innovation Council, an arm’s-length
funding and delivery agency with focus on supporting business innovation. While
not formally addressed, the government hasn’t rejected the idea for the future.
It’s hard to anticipate what affect all this budgetary effort will ultimately have
on Canadian innovation. Socially engineering success is a tricky business; government funding and economic incentives have a tendency to bounce in unanticipated
directions. But whatever your political leanings, the government is at least making
an honest effort to foster innovation. Like any government initiative, it will depend
on how the recipients choose to use the money allocated.

Members of University of Saskatchewan’s Canadian Satellite Design Challenge team.
F
ollowing a critical design review held at the CSA’s David Florida Lab
in Ottawa this past March, the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge
(CSDC) has come down to three leading Canadian University teams.
The primary objective of the challenge is for university students to design
and manufacture an operational “cubesat” satellite, predominantly
using off-the-shelf components.
Of the 12 universities competing, teams from Concordia University, University of Manitoba and University of Saskatchewan have
taken the top three positions so far. Concordia University’s ConSat-1,
designed by a 30-student team, is tasked with studying the South
Atlantic Anomaly of the Van Allen radiation belt, to discover how it
works and affects space weather.
University of Manitoba’s T-Sat cube satellite carries two scientific
payloads. The primary payload will study a colony of small organisms
called tardigrades and monitor their behavior when exposed to the harsh
space environment. The second remote sensing payload is designed to
learn more about the Sun through spectroscopy.
University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team’s (USST) nanosatellite is intended to measure and map plasma densities in the
Earth’s ionosphere to help improve the accuracy of multi-million
dollar GPS satellites.
Presently, the satellites are undergoing full space environmental
and launch qualification testing. When the contest wraps in October,
one or more winning teams will be chosen to have their satellite
launched into outer space where they will conduct its experiment at
26,280 kilometres
per hour, approximately 700 kilometres above the Earth.

is one of 12 “CubeSat”
satellites vying for a trip
to Earth orbit.

Canadian bike maker leverages CFD analysis for
latest racing model
Canadian high-end bicycle company, Cervélo—known for the
distinctive airfoil shape of its bikes’ down pipe—teamed up with,
Intel, R Systems and engineering software company, CD-adapco,
to test the design of its S5 racing bike before its release. As a result,
the company says the S5 doubles the aerodynamic advantage its
S3 model had over traditional road bicycles.
Anyone who has ridden a bicycle on a windy day knows aerodynamics play a huge role in cycling. Drag makes up 80-90 percent
of the resistance experienced by an average rider on a flat road—
80 percent of this drag is due to the rider, with the remaining 20
percent down to the bicycle itself.
In the design of the S5, Cervélo ran simulations using the
STAR-CCM+ Power-on-Demand licensing scheme on R Systems
HPC resources powered by multi-core Intel processors. STARCCM+ Power-on-Demand allows users to run STAR-CCM+
simulations using an on-demand cloud computing service. Based
on extensive wind tunnel testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, Cervélo says the S5 is the most advanced
aerodynamic road bicycle it has yet developed.

ent
Solidworks pushes to generate excitem
user requests at annual conference.
By Ben Eadie
I
f a CAD user conference is any indication, the healthy
attendance at SolidWorks World 2012 suggests that the
economic rebound is taking hold in North America. Nearly
5,650 registered attendees descended on San Diego Convention Center this past February. That’s significantly larger than
the approximately 4,300 of the year previous.
To kick off the conference, CEO Bertrand Sicot’s remarks
during the first general session were somewhat overshadowed
by the small, child-like robot—called the NAO—that introduced him. Designed in SolidWorks, NAO robot is the brainchild of Paris-based Aldebaran Robotics and is intended to,
among other things, help autistic children learn.
Other highlights of the show included presentations by
Mike Rowe from Discovery’s Dirty Jobs; NEPTUNE Canada,
the world’s first underwater observatory network; and a sitdown interview keynote address between Sicot and the father
of the Apple iPod, Tony Fadell.
While these presentations were entertaining and informative, SolidWorks World this year lacked the buzz of prior
years. In the history of the event, Day 3 is typically the big
reveal when execs show off what’s coming in the next release.
Typically, attendees sit at the edges of their seats, eager to hear
how their favorite design software will become that much
more powerful. The 2012 event lacked that kind of excitement.
There was simply a lack of cool new stuff.
Is this only a SolidWorks problem? Not really. It’s an industry
problem. Now that CAD tools are so robust, it’s questionable if
they can be pushed much further; 3D CAD has matured to the
point that most of the real cool stuff has been done. Running
down the top 10 best enhancements to expect in the 2013 release
shows that there are only one or two real enhancements and a
handful of nice-to-haves but one disappointment in the lot.

Assembly visualization: You will be able to sort parts
and assemblies depending on which is more graphically
intensive. Combined with the feature lock capability of last
year’s 2012 release, it could make working on large assemblies
much easier.
eDrawings markup import into SolidWorks drawings:
Not too many people use eDrawings but for design shops
that do, this is a must have. Being able to import the markups
from an eDrawing into a SolidWorks drawing will likely save
having to flip between multiple windows (SolidWorks and
eDrawings) to get a drawing done and just do it all directly
in SolidWorks. Two thumbs up!
SectionXpert: You will be able to create sections quickly
without having to make a sketch to start the command,
saving a few mouse clicks. Everyone wants to save mouse
clicks so this is a definite win-win. Plus, there is some added
functionality to make more complex section cuts.
Revision clouds: This is self explanatory and been in the
industry since God was a child. In this case, all I have to
say is that it’s about time they added this to the software.
Bring multiple components into assembly at once: Again,
this is a mouse click saver. Anything to keep carpal tunnel
syndrome at bay is good in my books.

Equation entry everywhere: Being able to add equations
on the fly while designing is great to have. I take notes when
coming up with conceptual designs on things I need to readdress once the initial approvals are done. The most common
note I take is where to add smart dimensions using formulas
to be able to generate multiple iterations quickly for final design
and prototyping. Now, being able to add them while in concept
phase will help speed up the prototype phase.
Backwards compatibility: This issue has been seen on
the top 10 list for years and, on the surface, it seems like
it’s finally being addressed. But there is a significant limitation.
Backwards compatibility is limited to 2013 fi les being saved
back to 2012, provided you have the latest service pack.
In general, I think SolidWorks is going in the right direction; when a recent user group meeting was polled if they
could use backward compatibility, everyone raised their hands.
However, when shown the current backwards compatibility
functionality being proposed and asked if this would help
them, no one raised their hands.
Why? The fact is that users are just as shy to upgrade to the
latest service pack as they are to upgrade to a new version for
fear that bad things happening to their data. So if someone is
using one service pack back from the last released for 2012,
then this functionality will simply not work. For this group of
1
users, this is the critical detail that makes this a bitter sweet
enhancement. On the one hand, SolidWorks is adding what
the users asked for. On the other, the company has limited
compatibility to such an extent that it misses the mark. Hopefully, this is just the start of SolidWorks’ backwards compatibility and it will improve in future releases.
SolidWorks has been taking care of bugs and stability issues
for the last few years and I see a little trickle of new innovative
things coming to light now that the software is more stable
and less buggy.
It’s hard to say what the future holds for SolidWorks. There
has been talk of some great stuff coming from the company’s
staff, but it’s all just rumors at this point. The company has
been tight lipped, and only time will tell if they can get their
mojo back with some super cool features or innovative solutions
to CAD issues in the next year or two.
SolidWorks is now leaving the stability and bug phase of
the development cycle, so my fingers are crossed that we will
see a resurgence of cool things in the future.

A successful test of this scaled
down prototype of General
Fusion’s reactor may change the
future of energy production.
Commercial Fusion
Amid many competitors, a Canadian firm aims to fire up the first commercial fusion reactor.
By Treena Hein
I
n a world beset by fossil fuel energy woes, fusion energy is
holiest of Holy Grails. A working fusion reactor would not
only release large amounts of energy but, unlike nuclear fission
plants, they can’t melt down. They’re also significantly “cleaner,”
in that a fusion reaction only uses small amounts of an abundant fuel (hydrogen isotopes tritium and deuterium), which
is only weakly radioactive. The problem is, no one has yet
created a net gain reactor (more energy out than in), although
many well-funded programs are actively pursuing it.
It’s not surprising, considering the daunting challenges
involved. Similar to the process that drives the Sun, a fusion
reaction—melding two hydrogen atoms to form helium—requires
heating the reactor fuel to galactic-scale temperatures and crushed
under intense pressures. Of course, you also need a vessel capable
of producing and containing these thermonuclear conditions.
Consequently, building fusion reactors will take decades, as
well as enormous expenditures, which is why enthusiasm for this
type of energy production has dampened. However, these same
issues have many in the field keeping a close eye on a Canadian
company, General Fusion, and its comparatively low-tech approach
to fusion power. The Burnaby, BC-based company’s mechanical
design sidesteps the massive costs of other leading approaches.
“Fusion reactions require plasma to be heated to near 150
million˚C, and that requires a lot of energy,” says Michael Delage,
General Fusion’s vice president of business development. “Where
you get this energy, and how you deliver it to the fuel, has a big
effect on system cost.”
March/April | 2012

Reactor Design 101
To appreciate General Fusion’s concept, it’s important to understand how it differs from the two leading projects. ITER, a
multinational collaboration based in France, is the larger and
uses an approach called magnetic confinement. Using this
method, a stream of super-heated tritium and deuterium gas,
or plasma, is contained in a donut-shaped vacuum vessel called
a tokamak. Super conducting magnets heat and compress the
plasma to create the fusion reaction.
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratories is pursuing the other approach, inertial
confinement. It employs 192 laser beams focused on deuteriumtritium pellets inside a 10-meter-diameter target chamber to
convert the fuel to plasma and generate X-rays. The radiation
then compresses the plasma until fusion occurs. Both methods,
says Delage, require massive amounts of input energy and depend
on expensive, complex equipment that drive development costs
into the billions and time lines out to 2050 at best.
In comparison, Delage says a commercial General Fusion
reactor could be online by 2020 and at a fraction of the price. The
company’s approach is a hybrid between the two main methods,
called “magnetized target” fusion, and employs a comparatively
less power hungry reactor design. Based on a concept called LINUS
first developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in the
1970s, General Fusion’s reactor starts with a spherical vessel filled
with liquid lead-lithium metal. The liquid metal is then pumped
in a circle until centrifugal force forms a vortex in its center.
Into this vortex, plasma injectors on the top and bottom of
the reactor inject doughnut-shaped “puffs” of plasma wrapped

in a magnetic field. Like smoke rings blown into either end of
a tube, these “magnetized targets” collide at the reactor’s core.
As the targets combine, approximately 200 steam-driven pistons
simultaneously hammer the spherical vessel, sending a shockwave through the molten metal. The shockwave collapses the
vortex and compresses the plasma, heating it adiabatically (like
a diesel engine), to produce a short burst of fusion energy.
During the reaction, the hydrogen isotope atoms fuse into
Helium and throw off high-energy neutrons that pass into the
swirling liquid metals, transferring heat and converting some of
the lithium into tritium. After the reaction ends, the metal is
pumped out of the chamber and passed through a separator that
removes the helium and tritium, which can be directed back to
the plasma injectors as fuel. Meanwhile, the hot lead passes through
a heat exchanger that creates steam, half of which will be used to
re-power the pistons and the other half to generate electricity.
According to Delage, each fusion pulse will result in approximately 100 MJ of net electrical output. The cycle repetition rate
can be varied to control the overall power plant output; if repeated
once per second, the net output will be 100 MW. In addition, the
reactor would use only small amounts of deuterium and lithium.
If fusion reactors began generating enough electricity for the
entire world, Delage says, lithium reserves would last for 207
million years and deuterium for more than 67 billion years.
Fusion for Less
For all its promise, the quest for net gain fusion has been a time
consuming and costly endeavor. The ITER reactor is projected
to take 10 years and 13 billion euros to construct. That doesn’t
count the 25 years and counting since the project began and the
millions poured in by contributors so far. Even when built, ITER’s
super conducting magnets and other components would require
50 MW worth of input power to start and maintain the reaction.
Similarly, costs for Laurence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility are estimated at upwards of $850 million and its reactor requires
500 trillion watts of laser light to kick-start fusion reactions.
General Fusion’s reactor will employ 200 steam-powered pneumatic
pistons, like this one, to create the necessary pressures to induce
nuclear fusion.
March/April | 2012
18-21-DES.indd 20
The largest of its kind every constructed, this plasma injector
is designed to inject “smoke rings” of magnetized tritium and
deuterium plasma into the fusion reactor’s core.
Where General Fusion’s magnetized target method stands
apart is in its relatively low-tech, low-cost mechanical means of
compressing the plasma. “As an energy storage medium, compressed gas is orders of magnitude less expensive than capacitors,”
Delage explains, “but it’s hard to release this energy quickly.”
That’s the problem that ultimately scuttled LINUS, the predecessor of the General Fusion reactor, in the 1970s. The LINUS
concept proposed impacting the liquid metal directly, which
resulted in a relatively slow vortex collapse of up to 40 milliseconds,
while the magnetized target holds its structure for only about 100
microseconds. According to Delage, General Fusion has solved
this problem by impacting the containment vessel itself.
“Our sphere is in fact full of holes, like a Wiffle ball,” he
explains. “Each hole is plugged with an ‘anvil’ and compressed
gas is used to accelerate a 100 kg ‘hammer’ piston. This acceleration takes about 80 milliseconds. When the hammer piston
impacts on the anvil piston, it moves a small amount and transfers the energy into the liquid metal in about 80 microseconds.
That’s a timescale shorter than the lifetime of the magnetized
target and an increase in power of 1000 times.”
The challenge is that as the energy delivery speeds up, the
requirements for symmetry of compression increases. “Every
piston has to be individually servo-controlled to achieve the
necessary synchronization,” Delage says. “Achieving this wasn’t
possible in the 1970’s, but we are able to nurse each piston’s
trajectory using a fast-response, closed-loop control system
and brake, so that the timing of the impact is controlled to
within microseconds. It’s the use of modern electronics—the
computing power that has only come available in the last ten
years—that makes our proposed system possible.”
Approaching the Finish Line
Presently, General Fusion is creating a prototype and key subsystems at full scale. These include a plasma injector that creates the magnetized target; individual full-scale pistons that
meet requirements for impact energy and timing; and a 1-meterdiameter sphere with 14 pistons to demonstrate the symmetric
collapse of a liquid metal vortex.

Resolvers Stage
a Comeback
When choosing between position feedback components, resolvers may just have
an edge over optical encoders.
By Mark McCann, B.Sc. Electrical Engineering
W
hile most motion control systems can work with either
resolvers or encoders to monitor shaft position, they are
not interchangeable. Many engineers are unfamiliar with
resolver electronics and opt for an optical encoder as a default.
As with all components, it is important to understand the basic
operation of both options and keep abreast of technological
advances to build the most efficient and effective systems.
Both resolvers and optical encoders function as transducers
by transforming mechanical motion into electronic information.
This information is fed back to electronic devices that control
the mechanical motion, providing feedback that closes the control system loop and improves system performance.
A resolver is an electromechanical device with a mechanical design similar to a motor or a small transformer. It contains a rotor with one or two orthogonal primary windings
and a stator with two orthogonal secondary windings. AC
voltage is applied to the rotor and the voltage induced in each
stator winding depends on the position of the shaft.
The voltage in one stator winding is Er Cos theta, where
Er is the input voltage and theta is the shaft position, while
the voltage in the other stator winding is Er Sin theta. A
resolver-to-digital converter (generally mounted in the equipment to which the resolver is connected) compares the two
voltages to give a highly accurate value of theta.
The biggest upside to resolvers is their ruggedness. They are
resistant to electrical disturbances and, because they have
no fine-pitch gratings through which light must pass, they can
tolerate dust and dirt that would stop an encoder.
In contrast, an optical encoder uses a scale with a pattern
of lines deposited or engraved on its surface. A light source
shines on the scale, and the transmitted or reflected light passes
through the grating to a photodetector.
Encoders are available with both incremental and absolute
outputs. An absolute encoder has as many tracks as it has
output bits. An incremental encoder outputs a stream of pulses
as the shaft rotates and are specified in pulses per revolution
(ppr). Incremental encoders can be optical, using a scale or
disk with just one or two rows, or magnetic, using several
different technologies.
An incremental encoder does not provide any position
information at start-up, but merely keeps track of how far it
has moved. The only way to determine the absolute position
of an incremental encoder is to set the equipment to a known
reference position and then zero the counters.
Unlike a resolver, encoders are intrinsically digital, which
means they can interface easily to most modern control systems.
However, optical encoders have had a reputation for being
fragile. The thin glass disk at the heart of most optical encoders could be broken by excessive shock or misaligned by strong
vibration. In addition, their integrated circuits could be damaged by a severe electrical disturbance or they could be obscured
by dirt. Over the last decade, encoders gained popularity as the
glass disks were replaced with steel and plastic disks and the
electronics became more integrated and durable as a result.
Resolvers have also undergone a transformation in the past
few years, which affects the way engineers are thinking about
them. Advances in electronics manufacturing have lowered the
cost of circuits and provide an increase in resolution. In fact, 21
byte resolvers are now available with more than 2 million ppr.
Resolvers are also gaining exposure through their use in
automotive and green energy applications that deal with
environmental exposure. Compared to optical encoders,
resolvers are far more durable in extreme conditions, operate
under greater temperature ranges, tolerate higher vibrations
and are not as easily degraded by contamination. For these
reasons, resolvers excel in modern application positioning
feedback for hybrid vehicle electrical mechanical components
and solar panel positioning systems.

While less common than optical encoders, resolvers provide ruggedized
and reliable position feedback in “extreme” environments.

Biomedical Engineer Jan Andrysek’s LC Knee is a light-weight knee
joint that’s rugged, easy-to-make and works as well as standard
prosthetics but at a fraction of the manufacturing cost.
Kick Starter
Canadian engineer perfects a low-cost
prosthetic to help impoverished amputees.
By Treena Hein
E
ven if they are mobile and reasonably healthy, people in
developing world countries face many challenges. When
they lose a lower leg to a land mine or another factor, their
circumstances become much more dire. What they need is a
lower limb prosthetic that is durable and allows great functionality—but it also must cost little to make.
That’s been the quest—and amazing achievement—of Jan
Andrysek, assistant professor at the Institute of Biomaterial
and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto and
researcher at the Bloorview Research Institute.
“I’ve always been interested in inventing things and also
fascinated by how the human body works,” he says, “so that
led me to learn mechanical engineering and to use it to provide bio-medical engineering solutions.”
It’s been a journey of six years to create and perfect what
is now known as the LC Knee—a very inexpensive, simple,
tough and highly-functional lower limb prosthetic knee joint.
The quest started in earnest during Andrysek’s Master’s degree
on knee joints, when he investigated numerous existing types
of simple lower limb prosthetics for children.
“They’re all based on a handful of common mechanisms
created after WWII,” Andrysek notes. “The main problem
with many of them is that they do not provide stability to
allow individuals to safely negotiate different terrains.”
Some prosthetics are designed to provide a higher level
of stability by restricting the knee from bending when the
March/April | 2012
28-29-DES.indd 28
user’s weight is placed on the limb; however, this makes it
difficult for the user to bend the leg as it swings forward
during walking.
But it’s exactly that ability of a prosthetic—to swing easily—that Andrysek says provides an efficient and natural
walking pattern for an amputee. He has achieved this through
the creation of “Simplified Automatic Stance-Phase Lock”
(SASPL) technology.
“The system actually locks up the knee joint before you
put weight on it, so that there’s a feeling of safety for the
user,” Andrysek explains. “The unlocking occurs in response
to the load conditions that occur naturally in walking. We
studied this extensively and figured out that we needed to
configure the limb so that the unlocking would automatically
occur at the point where the weight is placed on the toe of
the prosthetic, at the same time as it’s cued by the user’s hip
flexion motion.”
Andrysek also needed to create a mechanism that would
provide a forward-swing motion that’s smooth, natural and
properly-timed. “We optimized a spring and friction system
that mimics the motion provided by hydraulics in more
expensive prosthetics,” he says. “The faster a person walks
with the LC Knee, the faster it swings forward.”
But it wasn’t simply about engineering the limb to provide
a natural gait—a big challenge in itself. The prosthetic had
to be light, durable and cheap to make.
“Plastic is great because it’s light, but the plastic parts had
to be strong,” explains Andrysek. “With injection-moulding,
which is the way we wanted to go because it’s so inexpensive,
you can’t just make the part thicker to achieve greater strength.
There are many other limitations, such as what’s possible with
pulling certain shapes out of the mould.”
After much tweaking and trial-and-error (and the use of
a durable nylon plastic), Andrysek achieved manufacturing
costs that are a stunning 90 per cent less than that required
by other prosthetics with similar functionality. The final cost?
Only about $100.
The leg also had to be very low-maintenance, so Andrysek
has incorporated self-lubricating plastic bearings and wear
parts that are easily replaced after extended periods of use.
Some long-term testing has been done in Central America,
but Andrysek wants a broader look at how the LC Knee functions in different environments. A newly-awarded Grand
Challenges Canada grant of $100,000 is about to help him to
do just that in places like Chile, India and Tanzania.
“The award is very nice,” Andrysek says, “but it’s also great
to get direct feedback from the people using it or from the
people who work with patients, to hear it’s allowing them to
do this or that, things that they couldn’t do before. We wanted
to provide a lot of function with a simple device, and it’s great
to have done that.”

howing off the speed, repeatability and power density of
pneumatic systems in a way that captures the imaginations
of weary trade show attendees can be a challenge. However,
Business Development Manager Rob Clippard and a team of
inventive engineers at Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc.
have combined their interests in music and fluid power to
create one attention-grabbing pneumatic application.
They’re creation is the Clippard Air Guitar, a pneumatically
automated guitar playing machine that incorporates 62 cylinders, 58 valves and an iPad as the machine controller. More
than 30 cylinders along the neck of the six-string guitar depress
the strings on the fret board while another cylinder mounted
horizontally at the bottom of the soundboard drives a pick
to strum the chords. For the melody, six cylinders across the
sound hole pluck individual strings. Additionally, the “clack”
Eaton appoints new director of hydraulics
Industrial manufacturer, Eaton Corporation, announced

strategy deployment and communication activities across
the product divisions, regions and functions.

of the cylinders provide percussive accompaniment.
In total, Clippard says the Air Guitar took about a month
and a half of nights and weekends to prototype and build. “I
have a new found respect for the human hand,” he says. “The
biggest challenge came when we started prototyping.
“When you play guitar, the pressure you put on or take off
the strings varies dramatically depending on what you want
to do next,” he adds. “When controlling basic components
with very high speeds and variable pressures, it’s amazing
how much complexity goes into playing a single note in the
way the human hand does without thinking.”
To date, the Clippard Air Guitar has a repertoire of 16
songs. Similar to the rolls of punched paper of a player piano,
the musical machine uses midi song files that digitally designate whether a particular note is played at any given moment.
The iPad functions as a time-based PLC, outputting the binary
song files through a midi soundboard that interprets the on/
off of the digital signal to control the relays of the individual
pneumatic cylinders.
The Air Guitar made its first appearance last year at PackEx
in Las Vegas but is currently on its way back from the Analytica
Show in Munich, Germany. Clippard says it will most likely
make its next appearance in May at the Medical Design and
Manufacturing East show in Philadelphia. For those interested
in re-creating Clippard’s musical machine, the company has
posted a video and component list on its web site.

Maximizing
Hydraulic Efficiency
Choosing the most efficient control option
requires full understanding of a hydraulic
application.
Graph1: Pressure
Compensated Pump
By Pat Jones, P.Eng.
A
s with all things technical, some decisions are not necessarily as easy as they first appear and require a better
understanding of the application. In previous articles, I have
discussed the benefits of a demand-flow system using a pressurecompensated pump and also with a load-sensing pump.
In those cases, it was easy to see the energy/cost saving of
using variable displacement pumps over fi xed displacement
pumps. In applications where the flow supply can be matched
to the flow demand, then power is not wasted moving fluid
that is not used in the circuit.
Fixed displacement pumps can also be used in loadsensing type circuits. This does offer power savings over a
simple circuit with just a fi xed displacement pump and a relief
valve where unwanted flow is forced across the relief valve
(which would be set at maximum system pressure). It may
also offer power savings over using a pressure compensated
variable displacement pump.
In a fi xed displacement/load-sensing circuit, a bypass type
compensator is used with the sensing line from the compensator connected into the circuit downstream of the flow control. With this type of circuit, system pressure is determined
by the load pressure felt in the sensing line, plus the spring
value of the compensator (typically 200 psi to 350 psi or so).
Therefore, system pressure upstream of the flow control
will always be 200 psi higher than the load so the pressure
difference across the flow control will always be 200 psi. When
the flow control is adjusted for the desired speed, the unwanted
flow is forced across the bypass compensator at load pressure
plus 200 psi. This unwanted flow across the bypass compensator is wasted energy, but not as much as would be wasted if
dumping flow across the relief valve.
So how can a fi xed pump circuit be more efficient than a
variable pump circuit? It depends on duty cycle and the load
flow/pressure demands. Consider the following comparison
at a certain point in the duty cycle:
System pressure setting

2,000 psi

15 USgpm
500 psi
Graph 2: Fixed Pump
with LS Control
In this scenario, the system efficiency of the pressure compensated pump is approximately 25 percent while the fixed pump
with load sensing achieves about 44 percent efficiency.
From the graphs 1 and 2 above, you can see that, in this
condition, the pressure compensated pump circuit will be
much less efficient due to the control’s inability to sense the
load. In this high-flow/light-load situation, the fi x pump with
load sensing-type circuit is much more efficient.
This example points out that the nature of the control and
the motion profi le of the load, as well as duty cycle, must be
clearly understood to choose the most efficient control option.
It may be the most efficient to always specify a variable loadsensing pump for all circuits; however, if the duty cycle is
intermittent usage, then a total cost case can be made for a
fi xed pump, load-sensing circuit.
In a previous article, I mentioned that closed loop hydraulic circuits represent an efficient circuit option. The advantage
to these drives is that—because both the direction and speed
of the load are controlled with the displacement of the pump—
the throttling losses of open loop hydraulic circuits are
eliminated. This type of circuit offers one of the most efficient
hydraulic circuits possible.
In a typical closed loop circuit, there are two pumps: The
main loop pump that controls the load and the charge pump
that supplies make-up fluid for main loop leakage and also

typically supplies pilot fluid for main pump control. The charge
pump is usually fixed displacement and continually forces fluid
across a relief valve that is typically set from 350 – 500 psi.
The charge pump size would typically be 10-15 percent of the
main loop pump. So the continuous wasted energy is always at
least the charge pump flow across the charge pump relief. The
worst-case loss is when the main loop is at full load and the motor
and pump are at maximum leakage. This could typically represent 10 percent of main loop total flow being forced through the
pump and motor clearances at full load pressure.
Using the same flow and load pressure numbers from the
example above and assuming a charge pressure of 350 psi we
see that, in the worst case, the closed loop circuit efficiency
will be approximately 83 percent.
So, why aren’t closed loop circuits used everywhere if they
offer such a distinct efficiency advantage? Considering that
one main loop pump is required for each load, this is very
practical on a stationary crane where there would be four
main functions: Main boom, rotation, extension and winch.
This makes for a very compact and efficient circuit.
However, as the number of loads grows and possibly the
distant between them, having a separate closed loop circuit for
each load becomes less practical from a machine design point
of view. One input power source, capital cost wise, is very cost

effective as opposed to having multiple closed loop circuits and
the necessity of multiple prime movers. Of course, the long-term
energy costs need to be weighed against this.
From an efficiency standpoint, there are clear standard options
available. It’s a matter of understanding the combined flowpressure profile of the loads and the machine duty cycle and then
looking at capital and longer term costs to determine the best
solution. Efficiency does have a cost, but we can calculate the real
cost of proper design if we understand all the variables.

Canadian leaders discuss the market,
globalization and grooming the next
generation of fluid power professionals.
By Mike McLeod
DE: For many in the fluid power industry, 2011 was a rebound
year. How would you characterize 2012, so far?
Shane Monaghan, Product Manager, Fluid Power Division,
Gates Canada Inc: For Gates, 2011 was an excellent year. In fact,
Gates Canada was recognized as the largest growth region for
all of Gates North America. You can attribute those high sales
to forestry, oil and mining—our top three markets. In terms of
2012, we were expecting another stellar year. For 2012, the company has reinvented itself to focus on five identified end markets:
Energy, exploration and extraction; infrastructure and agriculture; transportation, automotive, and process and specialty.
Those are the end markets we want to attack for 2012.
Steve Apps, Sales Product Manager for Mobile Markets, Bosch
Rexroth: For us, 2011 was definitely a good year, and 2012 is
looking the same if not better, although it’s a bit early to tell.
Mining and forestry are two areas that have certainly rebounded,
although the mining industry has rebounded quicker. Prior to
the recession, there were a greater number of companies in each
of those different sectors, but the down years took their toll, and
some companies didn’t come back. Those that have are generally
what I would consider larger OEMs—that is, companies that
deal both locally and internationally.
Andreas Sobotta, Vice President, Product and Market Management, Festo Canada: We had a very strong start to 2012, more
or less in all industries except automotive which was expected
to be flat. Assembly and handling; food and beverage; and
natural resources are all very strong. This is something that we
anticipated, and we are getting stronger in these areas where we
were already strong. The reason is that we aren’t just selling
products; we sell solutions, and our customers appreciate this.
Festo has been focused on this worldwide, so that customers
will see us as a partner instead of just a supplier.
Kevin O’Doherty, Regional Manager, Hydraulic Systems
and Services, Wajax Industrial Components: From our
perspective, 2012 is definitely going to be a more robust year
than 2011, which was better than 2010. Through the first
quarter, sales are up across both industrial and mobile segments and we’re hopeful the trend continues. The rebound
is being led by the resource businesses, whether its oil and gas
in Western Canada or metals and minerals here in Ontario.
The product capabilities gaining the most traction have
to do with safety. So, high quality products, particularly
those that protect the operator, are gaining the most in
popularity.

DE: At the NFPA annual conference in March, the prevailing
theme was globalization. Are your Canadian customers looking beyond the U.S. market?
Apps -Bosch Rexroth: From my perspective, this has always
been there. When the demand for domestic machines was
higher, maybe globalization wasn’t as prevalent because customers could concentrate on their own backyard. With the
change in the Canadian economy, the factors that influence
production or harvesting of natural resources has dropped.
As a result, to stay in business, people are looking for markets
other than Canada and the U.S. One of the advantages we
have is that we are able to draw on the applications and expe-

sophisticated level of product. For example, in Europe, they
use more bus systems and smaller products with better performance. For a lot of U.S. companies, if something isn’t big,
it can’t be good. It’s important for some of our customers to
re-think their approach into new markets.
O’Doherty-Wajax: Our customers are definitely looking at
the export markets. For example, a lot of the mining machinery OEMs we work with are doing more business in South
America and Africa as well as parts of Russia and Asia. So, we
definitely see customers taking a much more globalized
approach to their sales channels versus just Canada and the
U.S., the way it was a few years ago. Wajax is very much a
Canadian-based company, so we don’t sell directly into other
countries, but we do support the after-market for products
that we manufacture here in Canada.
DE: Technically speaking, what trends are driving your company’s new product development?
Monaghan-Gates: For 2012, Gates has budgeted nearly
double the industry standard for product growth to create
products designed for specific regions. For example, in
Canada we are coming out with a low-temperature product—
an arctic version of a hydraulic hose. We are also re-releasing
global products with improved pressure ratings and minimum
bend radius. The product capabilities gaining the most traction have to do with safety, which is always a concern in the
fluid power industry. For example, our Lifeguard line of sight
hydraulic hose sleeves protects against catastrophic failure.
If the hose were to burst or there were a pin hole, the sleeve
protects the operator. Safety is more of a concern for OEMs
now, and it’s a selling feature for them as well.
Apps-Bosch Rexroth: For the mobile hydraulic market, emission
control is probably the biggest consideration. Meeting the Tier
4 emission standards, which come into play at the beginning of
2014, will affect performance, costs, physical design and a number of other things. That single point has played a large role in
shaping, not only the components themselves, but the system
concepts. The trick is to find ways to improve a machine’s
operation or performance such that it’s emissions are reduced.
Bosch Rexroth saw this coming because there is an internal
connection between the automotive and hydraulics sectors. So,
we have some access to the technologies and concepts used in
the automotive industry, which was hit with these emission
standards well before the off-road industry.
Sobotta -Festo: The new trend coming from Europe is that
products need to be more efficient. As a German company, we
are trying to convince our customers to jump on that bandwagon
and be more productive. In terms of product, what we see is
smaller, faster and more energy efficient. In terms of products
that are gaining traction, customers want to have more flexibility so we have a single form factor product series that allows
different size valves to drive different applications over different
distances, all in one control panel. Additionally, you have the
ability to connect to any type of bus system. Whether a customer
has an Allen Bradley, Siemens or Omron system, they can take
advantage of their existing software to drive our modules.
O’Doherty -Wajax: We see a lot going on with electronics and
with the quest for higher pressures. For example, the marriage
between high-pressure hydraulics and electronic systems on
mobile equipment is becoming much more of a trend—anything
that helps with emissions and fuel consumption but increases
payloads. If you fill your car each week, you know it isn’t getting
any cheaper. Of course, the bigger the equipment, the more fuel
they burn, so if they can get something as miniscule as a five or
10 percent fuel savings, that translates into some fairly big dollars
for these guys at the end of the year.
DE: Which strategies or initiatives are you finding most successful in developing tomorrow’s fluid power professionals?
Monaghan-Gates: Recruitment is definitely an issue and has
been for a number of years. We combat that through the high
schools and colleges. To get the fluid power name out there,
it’s usually best to find a high school senior who hasn’t made
We aren’t just selling products; we sell solutions, and

and equipment to high schools and we give out six scholarship awards every year to high school seniors. We also put
on training courses at colleges and offer engineering services
to FIRST Robotics, where a large number of participants go

Sobotta-Festo: Festo is one of the largest sponsors of Skills
Canada competitions for colleges and universities. The last

years ago and we got a lot of interest from Alberta colleges

unique product offering for high schools that is at the beginning of the implementation phase, which is well underway.
We just have to work on the curriculum so that high schools
move toward a more automation and pneumatic focus.
O’Doherty – Wajax: As an industry, I think this is one of
our biggest collective challenges. There is very little talent
walking out of schools ready to go these days. Most people
in fluid power have to be built from within. It’s really incumbent upon us to take the lead in their development such that
we can hone their skills and turn them into a value player.
A lot of companies have backed off the throttle a bit, especially
through the recent recession. But as business starts to ramp
back up, we definitely see the need to train, develop and build
our own. DE

On the Ball
Integrator saves time and expense with
new ball valves and end connections.
By Bill Menz and Tony Taylor
I
ntegrators charged with building chemical injection skids
for medium-pressure applications face some formidable
obstacles. Two of the chief challenges concern critical fluid
system components: medium-pressure instrument ball valves
and reliable end connections for use with SAF 2507 tubing.
Under certain circumstances, instrument ball valves in
the medium-pressure range are known to leak across the seat.
After sealing at high pressure, they may have difficulty resealing at low pressure, especially if pressure in the system is being
built up slowly.
End connections for the valves pose a special challenge
when the tubing required is made of SAF 2507, a corrosionresistant material preferred in many aggressive chloridecontaining environments.
Until recently, the market has not provided simple, easy-touse, mechanical grip-type tube fittings for SAF 2507 tubing at
pressures up to 15,000 psig (1034 bar). For such applications,
the industry has relied on cone and thread fittings, which can
be temperamental and difficult to fit and assemble.
Beta Test
As an integrator that has built skids for most of the major oil
companies, AGI Packaged Pump Systems was acutely aware
of the challenges. When it accepted a contract to build two
medium-pressure skids with SAF 2507 tubing—a chemical
injection skid and a methanol injection skid—the company
looked to Swagelok Company and its, then, not-yet-released
FKB series medium-pressure ball valve.
Offering to beta test the valve, AGI built a testing fixture
designed to put the valve through a set of cycles simulating
conditions on a methanol injection skid for deep water exploration. AGI planned to cycle the test valve until failure, but
when the test ran for two and a half days—more than 4,000
cycles—without failure, AGI was satisfied with the performance and stopped the test. Over the 20-year life of a chemical injection skid, an instrument ball valve is typically cycled
300 times, about once per month.
A New Ball Valve Design
AGI’s beta test of the FKB series medium-pressure ball valve
demonstrated that the valve reliably and repeatedly seals over
the entire pressure range up to 15,000 psig. The valve’s effectiveness may be attributed to a special type of patent-pending
live-loading technology termed “direct loading.”
A ball valve seals because of contact pressure between the
March/April | 2012
42-43 DES.indd 42
Figure 1: The FKB series valve design, in which the seat carrier is
stepped, enables the springs and the system pressure to act at
different points on the seat carrier. Each force counts, regardless of
its relative value. System pressure will not collapse the springs.
ball and the seats. One of the principal design challenges is
determining how to generate sufficient force to create this contact pressure. If the force is too little at any point in the pressure
range, the valve will leak. If it is too great, the valve will be
difficult to actuate and its cycle life may be compromised.
As one means of applying force, live-loading refers to a spring
that fits somewhere between the end screw and the seat. Usually, the spring pushes against a seat carrier, which is a device
that holds and positions the seat for ideal contact with the ball.
Live-loading is especially important for three-way valves where
the sealing force is provided solely by the upstream seat.
But, even in the case of a conventionally designed, liveloaded ball valve, there may be issues with the seal at the lower
end of the pressure range (<5,000 psig). The valve may create
good sealing force initially because of the force delivered by
the springs. But as the system pressure overcomes the springs—
and collapses them—the sealing force may not be sufficient.
When system pressure and the springs are arranged to act in
series—one behind the other—there is no net sealing benefit at certain points in the pressure range.
By contrast, in the FKB series medium-pressure valve,
these two forces—system pressure and the springs—act on
separate points on the seat carrier. Therefore, both contribute
to the overall net sealing force. In Figure 1, system pressure
on the upstream side acts on one step in the seat carrier, while
the springs act on a second step. Together, they create a combined force adequate for sealing across the entire pressure
range. This type of live-loading is termed direct loading.
An additional design challenge for medium-pressure valves
concerns handle orientation. In some cases, adjacent components may prevent the quarter-turn handle from being fully
actuated. The challenge is to create a handle that can be repositioned in any one of four quadrants so a technician can
reposition it without having to remove the valve and modify
the valve supports. This goal is achieved by introducing a stop
plate between the handle and the valve body. The stop plate
may be repositioned, shifting the on and off position by
90-degree increments.

Systems, relies on Swagelok ball valves. Photo courtesy of AGI.
Final Testing
On the two skids that AGI fabricated, there were a total of
36 valves and 452 medium-pressure tube fittings or end
connections for use with SAF 2507. AGI checked all fittings
with the handheld gauge.
Further, as part of their normal process, AGI tests all
skids before shipping by cycling valves
and pressurizing the system to its fullrated pressure. In this case, the skids
showed no leaks anywhere, including
at end connections or across the seat
of the ball valves.
In past tests for other skids, AGI has
spent as much as four hours correcting
leaks. For example, in one case, the
skid contained more than 100 valves,
and the seats on each one had to be
replaced. The initial pressurization of
the system had compacted the seats
and therefore the valves could not
reseal as pressure in the system was
being built back up.
The FKB series ball valve and
medium-pressure end connections
saved AGI considerable time and costs
during the initial fabrication and at
final testing. When a component is
dependable and easy to use, there is a
quantifiable savings in avoided guesswork, setbacks, reconfigurations, failed
tests and delays resulting from special
tools that are not readily available or
parts that need to be reordered and
refitted.
Additional savings are realized by
the end user in reduced maintenance
costs and ease of service throughout
the life of the skid. Total cost of ownership over time—as opposed to the

SEAL MASTER
CUSTOM ENGINEERED INFLATABLES
FOR MOTION CONTROL
The versatility, flexibility and
close tolerance capability of Seal Master
engineered inflatables offer creative
solutions in applying forces and motion
control in a more effective manner than
common mechanical methods.
Sealing is just one of many tasks
for custom-built, fabric-reinforced,
elastomeric inflatables. They’re ideal for
use as actuators, brakes, valves,
clutches, wipers and for other
innovative applications.
Backed by in-depth
technical/customer
service, they’ll replace
cumbersome, hard-tomaintain processing
and handling components
to lessen downtime.
