A hydraulic power unit is an arrangement of interconnected components which controls hydraulic energy. They’re self-contained systems that generally include a motor, a fluid reservoir and a pump. It works by applying the hydraulic pressure needed to drive motors, cylinders and other complementary component parts of any given hydraulic system.
There is a range of modern-day applications of hydraulic power units. They can be divided into mobile applications, industrial and other applications. In the case of mobile applications, a compact hydraulic power unit might be appropriate. This includes agricultural machinery, diggers, graders, road maintenance vehicles, forklift trucks and excavators.
Industrial applications might include machine tools, food processing machinery, automatic handling and assembly equipment, steelworks and mining.
Other applications might include automotive, aerospace, marine industry, civil engineering, theatre and leisure and medicine.
There are a range of different types of hydraulic power units available:
Hydraulic power units are used whereby energy is transmitted, controlled and distributed using pressurised liquid fluid as a medium
These are power hydraulic units used in large-scale industrial applications such as food processing, steelworks and mining.
A highly compact design with the motor shaft of the electric motor also acting as the pump shaft. Frequently used in mobile applications such as forklift trucks and road maintenance vehicles.
This is usually used to refer to the pressure range above 450 bar. High pressure is primarily required in situations where heavy weights need to be moved or powerful movements need to be carried out with precision in a tight space
Bespoke hydraulic power units that are engineered to meet unique client requirements.
