Systematic reduction of losses to a minimum!
Conventional hydraulic pumps have a high power loss and a correspondingly low efficiency. This is where Bucher Hydraulics came in with the development of a new type of pump that consistently reduces losses to a minimum. It is available with displacements from 18 to 76 cm³/rev, and units with up to 122 cm³/rev will be available in future. The pump is suitable for continuous pressures up to 450 bar, the usual maximum pressure for mobile machinery.
Featuring high efficiencies over a wide operating range and a huge reduction in pressure pulsations, it is the ideal partner for efficient electric drives. Looking at some numbers: While a conventional pump may exhibit a power loss of 5.2 kW, it is only 1.6 kW with the new Bucher Hydraulics AX pump. This saves a lot of kilowatt hours, a fact that is particularly noticeable with battery operation. The battery can either be made smaller and cheaper, or its running time can be extended, as modeling calculations (and initial experience) have shown. The extremely low friction not only reduces the power loss, it also decreases wear to almost zero. This makes it possible to achieve a long and reliable service life.
