Frequently Asked Questions

The main components of a hydraulic power unit (HPU) are the pump, reservoir, and motor. The pump generates the hydraulic flow, the reservoir stores and maintains the hydraulic fluid, and the motor powers the pump to create the necessary pressure for the system.

To size a hydraulic power unit, you can use the formula:

Power (kW) = (Flow rate (l/min) * Pressure (bar)) / 600

This calculation ensures the HPU is capable of meeting the flow and pressure requirements of your application.

Filtration is critical in hydraulic power units because contamination is one of the leading causes of hydraulic system failure. Advanced filtration systems help maintain fluid cleanliness, reduce maintenance needs, and ensure long-term reliability and efficiency of the HPU.
