Key Components of Hydraulic Power Units:
Power Generation
Electric Motor or Engine – Provides mechanical energy (common power ranges: 1HP to 500HP).
1.Hydraulic Pump – Converts mechanical energy into fluid pressure (types: gear, vane, piston).
2 Fluid Management
Reservoir (Tank) – Stores hydraulic fluid (typically 1.5x to 3x pump flow rate).
Filters – Remove contaminants (particle sizes down to 3-10 microns).
Coolers/Heaters – Maintain optimal fluid temperature (40-60°C / 104-140°F).
3 Control & Regulation
Pressure Relief Valve – Limits maximum system pressure.
Directional/Flow Control Valves – Manages fluid path and speed.
Accumulator – Stores energy and dampens pressure spikes.
4 Monitoring & Safety
Pressure Gauges & Sensors – Real-time system feedback.
Temperature Switches – Prevent overheating.
Level Indicators – Ensure proper fluid volume.
