Electrification of hydraulics

Highest pulling and trust forces. Particularly in applications for hydraulic steel structures, high pulling and thrust forces are required to operate mitre gates at locks or heavy radial gates and fish-belly flap gates.

AUMA actuators in combination with cylinders are perfectly suited to generate the required forces. The combinations between electric actuators and cylinders, also called spindle-driven cylinders, generate pulling forces of up to 2,000 kN at electro-mechanical level. They are designed for frequent operations. Strokes of up to 8 metres are possible. Fail safe application opportunities are also available. Electro mechanical solutions have numerous advantages: They are long-lasting, easy to install, robust and maintenance-free. Furthermore, this set-up is environmentally friendly and particularly suitable for ecologically sensitive sites. Operation and maintenance costs are extremely reasonable.
