By combining standard base power units with application specific modules, premium quality modular hydraulic power units can be made and supplied in two weeks,Rapid delivery, cost reduction and design flexibility - these are the key benefits of Bosch Rexroth's new programme of premium quality modular hydraulic power units. By combining standard base power units (pump, motor and reservoir assembly) with application specific modules, lead-time - including manufacture and delivery - can be two weeks. Application potential for these hydraulic power units stretches from the metal and paper processing industries to the aerospace and automotive sectors.
Designed to suit demanding industrial environments, the power units can integrate with systems including tube and pipe-bending machinery, metal cutting and forming equipment, presses and even wind power generators.
Bosch Rexroth's Standard Power Units product manager, Paul Hills, explained how customer demand drove the programme development: 'In all areas, customers are under pressure to reduce costs while delivering quality products on shorter lead-times.
With increasing UK demand for small to medium-size power units, Bosch Rexroth applied two years of engineering resource to developing a dedicated production line and harmonised product range optimised for rapid delivery, product quality, design flexibility and affordability.
'From confirmation of technical specifications delivery performance is now measured in weeks rather than months, yet market analysis shows that cost remains competitive with smaller power unit manufacturers.
Optional three-year warranties underpin our faith in product quality.' Designed to comply with ISO/DIN industry standards and manufactured in an ISO9001 certified facility, power unit specifications include: 20 to 630 litre reservoirs; 2.9 to 145 litre/min flow; 0.37 to 75kW power; and pressure up to 315 bar.
Dedicated literature, CAD files and an on-line quotation facility ease power unit selection.
For documentation, contact information and a list of sales partners, customers can visit the company Web site.
During the design, engineering and application phases, a dedicated direct Bosch Rexroth sales force and national network of sales partners provides support.
For export markets, the power units carry international warranties supported by Bosch Rexroth's global service network and presence in over 80 countries.
Paul Hills concluded: 'This range offers affordable, quality Bosch Rexroth hydraulic power units to customers when they want them and how they want them.'
