How does a Hydraulic Power Unit Work? By utilising fluid to transmit power from one location to another, hydraulic power packs can generate large amounts of power, which in turn can be used to drive hydraulic machinery.

Another way to think of a hydraulic power unit is that it is a portable power delivery system that holds energy for a hydraulic mechanism. A good analogy to think what a hydraulic power pack is, is to consider the role of an electric battery, which stores energy for a circuit to draw on when is required. HPU’s are used in a wide range of industrial applications and machines, especially where there is no direct access to a power source.

A Hydraulic Power Unit in basic terminology, is a self-contained unit that consists primarily of a prime mover (either an engine or electric motor) a hydraulic pump, a valve and a hydraulic tank reservoir.

 

How is hydraulic power unit required power calculated?

Hydraulic power is defined as flow multiplied by pressure. The hydraulic power supplied by a pump is: Power = (P x Q) ÷ 600 – where power is in kilowatts [kW], P is the pressure in bars, and Q is the flow in litres per minute. ** based upon 100% efficiency; 90% efficiency would equate to 75 ÷ 0.9 = 83.3kW.

What is a Des-Case Desiccant Breather? Des-Case Desiccant Breathers are a vital step in oil contamination control and the first line of defence against lubricant contamination. Studies have shown 50-70% of lubricant contamination can come from outside the equipment.

As most machines are designed to ‘breathe’, protecting the source of airflow from moisture and particulate contamination is vital. Des-Case Breathers attack the source of contamination, making the products an affordable and cost-effective solution to extend lubricant life and to increase equipment productivity.

 

How it works?

Des-Case Desiccant Breathers replace the standard dust cap or OEM breather cap on equipment, incorporate a high capture-efficiency filter to help sustain desired cleanliness levels by removing even minute particulate matter. They also create low relative humidity levels in the headspace, making condensation and absorption by the lubricant unlikely. When a system is properly fitted with a breather containing drying and filtration media, the contaminant ingression is greatly reduced.

 

The key benefits of Des-Case Desiccant Breathers include:

• Removes moisture in the headspace of equipment.
• Eliminates rust-forming condensation.
• Prevents sludge deposits and water-contaminated oil.
• Prevents contamination ingress.
• Provides longer lubricant life.
• Reduces wear and tear on equipment, prolongs life.

 

BUILT TO LAST

 

Every Des-Case Breather has been designed to work in a wide variety of industries and applications, using quality, rugged materials and innovative designs in technology.

 

 

(The Des-Case Desiccant Breather family)

 

Des-Case’s contamination control products are used in a wide range of applications, including gearboxes, hydraulic and lube oil reservoirs and storage/process tanks.

How do hydraulic pumps work? Fundamentally, a hydraulic pump is a mechanical device that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy. It generates flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by the load.

 

When a hydraulic pump operates, it performs two functions. First, its mechanical action creates a vacuum at the pump inlet, which allows atmospheric pressure to force liquid from the reservoir into the inlet line to the pump. Second, its mechanical action delivers this liquid to the pump outlet and forces it into the hydraulic system.

 

A pump produces liquid movement or flow, it does not generate pressure. It produces the flow necessary for the development of pressure, which is a function of resistance to fluid flow in the system. For example, the pressure of the fluid at the pump outlet is zero for a pump not connected to a system (load). Further, for a pump delivering into a system, the pressure will rise only to the level necessary to overcome the resistance of the load.

 

Types of Hydraulic Pumps

In mobile hydraulic applications there are typically three types of hydraulic pumps used. These include gear, piston and vane pumps.

 

 

 

Hydraulic Gear Pumps

 

 

 

 

 

Hydraulic gear pumps convert mechanical power into the hydraulic energy of the fluid. The rotation of the gear causes the suction at the inlet and fluid is transferred by the pump. The fluid flows over the gears. The mechanical energy by the rotation of gears is transferred into the fluid pressure at the discharge.

 

At Neilson Hydraulics we stock a large quantity of Bosch Rexroth products but also with our sister company VHS Hydraulic Components we have access to stock of numerous brands of gear pumps including Casappa, Dana Brevini and the OT gear pumps.

 

Hydraulic Piston Pumps

The piston pump is a hydraulic pump that delivers optimum efficiency and reliability while maintaining a compact size with a high power density. Hydraulic piston pumps can handle large flows at high hydraulic system pressures.

 

In these pumps, the pistons accurately slide back and forth inside the cylinders that are part of the hydraulic pump. The sealing properties of the pistons are excellent, which makes it possible to operate at high pressures with low fluid leakage. Piston pumps are the hydraulic pumps with the highest-pressure rating and best overall efficiency.

 

At Neilson Hydraulics we stock and supply the Bosch Rexroth flagship A10VO variable displacement piston pump and also as part of a large group with our sister company Parmafluid the A17FO axial piston fixed displacement pump plus many more Bosch Rexroth products.

 

 

Type of Piston Pumps

• Axial piston pump, fixed displacement
• Axial piston pump, variable displacement
• Radial piston pump, fixed displacement
• Radial piston pump, variable displacement

 

Hydraulic Vane Pumps

Vane pumps are hydraulic pumps that operate at very low noise levels. Vane pumps tend to be a compromise between gear and piston pumps. They are limited by their maximum pressure rating and this is a sign of their relative fragility to gear and piston pumps. Hydraulic vane pumps operate with much lower flow pulsation, i.e. constant flow. As such, vane pumps produce less noise while maintaining a relatively high speed of up to 3,000 rpm.

 

As a group with our sister companies VHS Hydraulic Components and Parmafluid, we supply the entire range of hydraulic Bosch Rexroth vane pumps including the PV7 Vane pumps for use on a wide range of industrial manufacturing applications.

What are Hydraulic Power Packs used for? Fundamentally, Hydraulic Power Packs are used in place of an integrated power supply for hydraulic machinery and are self-contained units. They are essential in a range of different situations, particularly for industrial work that takes place outdoors and away from any larger scale, integrated hydraulic system.

 

Advantages of Hydraulic Power Packs

• They are an efficient transmitter of power. It is easy to control the power transmitted as they have simple levers, push buttons that make it easy to start/stop or accelerate/decelerate as and when required.
• They can cope with a large weight range. Hydraulic power packs are made without gears, pulleys or levers, which allows it to easily cope with a vast range of weight.
• Maintenance is simpler as there are less moving parts as compared to mechanical systems. There are also fewer leak points, which makes them more economical, safer and simpler systems.
• Lower wastage of power since the power transmitted is controlled by simple buttons and levers.
• They are compact in design, which make them ideal for places where the large sources of power are required, but only limited space is available for a power source.
• Hydraulic systems are safe to use in chemical plants and mines because they do not cause sparks.

·       And many more applications…

 

Please also read, IMO Slewing Ring for Cranes and Slewing Rings for Construction

 

But what is a Slewing Ring?

Slewing Rings are large diameter antifriction bearings for the simultaneous transmission of axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments. They replace traditional solutions with fixed and floating bearings as well as king pin bearings. Frequently, this results in bearings with axial/radial bearing combinations with one bearing point. This can significantly simplify the design of the mounting structure and the installation of the bearings, which in turn reduces effort and costs.

 

Cost-effective and tried-and-tested, IMO antifriction bearings are available as:

 

• Ball slewing rings, roller slewing rings, and ball-roller combination slewing rings.
• Four-point bearings, double four-point bearings/eight-point bearings, flange bearings, wire race bearings, cross roller bearings.
• Segmented slewing rings.
• Gear rims.
• External gearing, internal gearing, or without gearing.
• Diameter ranging from 100 mm to 6000 mm.
• With cages (steel, brass, or plastic) or spacers (brass or plastic).
• With standard seals or specially produced special seals.
• Optionally with induction-hardened raceways.
• Different corrosion protection coatings possible.

 

IMO Slewing Rings have mounting holes and a sealed raceway system with grease lubrication. They can be combined with motors, pinions, and planetary gears. Functions and parts of the mounting structure – such as attached bearing rings – can be integrated.
