An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in August 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of HMI & industrial PCs among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
"Power requirements for the price" was identified as the primary reason for using hydraulics (40%), followed by "customer requirements" (23%), and "wide power variation needs" (16%). By far, the biggest drawback of using hydraulic power systems was identified as "environmental issues/high maintenance issues."
