Key Components of Hydraulic Power Units

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.
