Hello, do you have some old hydraulic equipment in your plant? You know it’s probably costing you way more money than it should. Is it noisy, dirty, perhaps even overheating when the weather warms up? Of course, that’s when it breaks down and stops your production.
You know there are much more efficient options out there, but what to choose? There are so many options, even outside of hydraulics. Which option will give you the best return on the investment?
Or perhaps you’re looking to build a new machine using hydraulics, but are unsure of which technology to use.
Options:
- Gear pump
- axial piston pump
- vane pump
- electronically controlled
- connected to the internet (IoT)
- fixed speed / variable speed
- load sensing
- power limiting
- high accuracy
- high speed
- pre- or post-compensated flow control
- etc.
So many options! What to choose & why?
I understand these challenges. I worked with Bosch Rexroth Canada for over 30 years as an applications engineer and occasionally in sales functions. With all this experience, I can guide you through these options and choices. This will allow you to make your decision with the confidence, knowing that you’ve made the best choice and can expect years of positive returns on your investment.
Solutions:
As an engineer specializing in industrial and mobile hydraulics, I work with engineers and buyers looking for new hydraulic systems to help them get the best productivity and ROI possible.
This is done by improving efficiency AND performance. Added benefits are typically reduced noise and reduced carbon footprint.
To see the various ways in which we can approach these opportunities, please view the Services Page.
The purpose of this blog is to share tips and tricks in hydraulic system design & maintenance. I’m hoping these articles will spark questions & dialogue with the readers, so this can become a valuable resource for all visitors. The first three blogs cover some basic principles to check on every system. After that, we’ll get into to modern systems.
In fact, I’ve prepared a two page document showing seven unique, modern solutions, that I’ll be talking about over the coming weeks and months. You can download it here via this link.
Alternatively, if you have a question, send me an email at info@burkschmidt.com.
I look forward to “hearing” from you!
