Hydraulic Power Pack Case Study

One customer that we can tell you about, however, is Concorde – three times over! We have designed and supplied hydraulic systems to the ‘droop nose’ projects on Concorde G-AXDN at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Concorde G-BBDG at Brooklands Museum, Surrey and Concorde G-BOAC at the Manchester Airport Runway Visitor Park – bringing life back to these magnificent aircraft for visitors to enjoy for generations to come.

 

“It’s been a real pleasure dealing with Mark and the team at Hydraulics Online. They have been very accommodating throughout, giving expert advice backed up by full written technical specifications and, of course, provided the equipment. I have 100% trust in their work and project management, which makes my job a great deal easier, as I can fully focus on the bigger picture.”

What is a hydraulic power pack; how does it work and other frequently asked questions…

A hydraulic power pack is a combination of: a prime mover / pump drive, hydraulic pump, reservoir and hydraulic controls to supply power to a hydraulic system. Hydraulic power packs are purposely designed to complete several operations with different forces and speeds. A hydraulic power unit (HPU) produces flow and pressure which enables it to drive hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders, and other corresponding components of a hydraulic system, either rotary or linear.

Some of the significant factors that influence a hydraulic power unit’s performance include pressure limits, power capacity, and reservoir volume. Physical characteristics, including size, power supply, and pumping strength are also important considerations. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive…

What types of hydraulic power pack can you supply?

We supply a vast range including:

  • Electric hydraulic power packs
  • 12 volt DC, 24 volt DC, 110 volt AC, 240 volt AC and 415v AC hydraulic power packs
  • Hydraulic power packs – driven by petrol or diesel engine.

What needs to be considered when specifying a power pack?

There are a number of factors  influencing hydraulic power pack design including: the environment that the power unit will be used in; the application itself; type of prime mover; the forces and speeds required and the duty cycle. We can work through all these details with you when determining the exact hydraulic power pack specification your need.
