Energy Efficiency at What Cost? Emerging Technologies in Heavy Equipment

Hydraulic component and system technology continues to evolve, enabling industrial machinery and heavy equipment to work more efficiently.

The benefits of hydraulic transmission systems’ large force output, high power density and ease in driving linear motion will remain the viable choice in mobile and industrial hydraulics well into the foreseeable future.

There are currently many significant advancements in the integration of electronics into hydraulic systems. In many applications, electrohydraulic components provide a high degree of scalability, accuracy and overall performance. Electrohydraulic actuators use pressurized hydraulic fluid to operate a valve for providing the system’s force, with the main source of energy being electrical. In electrohydraulic systems, the electronics provide flexibility and control while the hydraulics supply the power.
