hydraulic drives and actuation systems /
Business Unit Manager: Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn. Bernd Winkler
As specialists in the field of hydraulic drive technology in general, Linz Center of Mechatronics focuses on the future-oriented areas of energy efficient switching hydraulics and the development of fast switching valves , low cost and high performance switching drives, and integrated hydraulic drives. In these fields we have guided concepts down the road to series production. With our international leading position in our core competencies, we can afford our customers access to the latest technologies and thus to a decisive market advantage.
Development of high performance switching valves
- The development and realization of a broad range of valve concepts, including ones with switching times under one millisecond, enables energy-efficient drives as well as low cost hydraulic drives merging highest performance and precision.
- Development of fast check valves for big flow rates.
Energy-efficient hydraulic drives
- Realization of energy-efficient hydraulic converter principles
- Full variable valve drives for huge combustion engines
- Energy-efficient hydraulic circuits
Integrated compact drives
- Highly integrated, variable-speed electro-hydraulic compact drives fuse the benefits of electric and hydraulic drive technology and make a classical hydraulic power system superfluous
- Due to its energy-efficiency a closed hydraulic system without special cooler unit can be realized.
- Energetically, such integrated compact drives are superior to conventional hydraulic drives.
Integrated control circuitry
- Integrated signal and power electronics for fast switching valves
- Condition monitoring
- Decentralized control concept
Simulation and measurement of hydraulic systems
- Simulation of complex hydraulic systems, including dynamic processes
- Measurement of valves up to 300 liters/minute
- Study of wave propagation in hydraulic lines
- Valve test benches
Application-specific sensors in hydraulic systems
- Integrated customer-specific displacement or pressure sensors in hydraulic drive systems
