Six surprising capabilities of modern hydraulics
19.08.2017 12.00
It’s easy to underestimate the intelligence of modern hydraulics. Here are six capabilities that may surprise you.
Key Insights & Considerations:
- Hydraulic drives can reliably position axes to within a few micrometers
- Hydraulic machines can generate high forces even in minimal space
- Modern technology can reduce the energy consumption of hydraulic power units by up to 80 percent, even in older machines
- Drive software for hydraulic actuators can automatically harmonize for the particularities of fluid technology
- Modern motion controls for hydraulic drives support all common communication protocols
- Ready-to-install servo-hydraulic axes have an integrated fluid loop and are driven by the same servo drives as electromechanical versions
