Bucher Hydraulics is expanding its portfolio of safety valves with a new load-control valve for winches, as well as additional sizes of other load-control valves and pipe-rupture safety devices.

EU regulations for road vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent. To reduce CO₂ emissions, mechanical V-belts or power take-offs may not exist on future commercial vehicles. Energy-efficient electrohydraulic systems provide an alternative. The hydraulics specialist Bucher Hydraulics offers just such a solution with its latest range of Smart PowerPacks.

Hydraulic drive technology in elevator construction is a small but excellent niche. It comes into play when large forces or architecturally sophisticated solutions are required. Bucher Hydraulics now takes a significant step forward - elevator technology is becoming smart and networked.

Exactly 60 years ago, the company ‘Ölhydraulik Altenerding’ began its track record of success with the swing-axle cylinder. The ‘RH’ series took the business, formerly family owned but since 2012 a part of Bucher Hydraulics, to its position of global market leadership. With the ‘DRH’ series, a significantly improved successor now takes the stage. In parallel, the company has introduced the ‘RM’, a solution for the new era of electrically powered machines.

Proportional flow control valves from Bucher Hydraulics prove themselves in every application. Thanks to different series with a wide range of variants, they can be used in many ways and are characterized by reliability and durability in demanding areas of application. 

It’s getting serious; climate change is now undeniable. If industry is to continue to make products and provide secure jobs, the efficiency of manufacturing processes must be massively improved. With new system designs based on its AX technology, Bucher Hydraulics is proving how this can be achieved with hydraulics in drive technology.

With smarter systems architecture, Bucher Hydraulics redefines the term "savings potential"

Bucher Hydraulics has found a way to combine the advantages of pre-compensated load sensing valves with those of post-compensated flow-sharing valves. The new HDS24 flexible flow-sharing valve combines the post-compensated function (can continue to work in undersaturation, or under-supply mode) with the LS local pressure limitation, and enables precision movement in a wide range of applications.

We developed the UP40 mini power pack with the aims of bringing the hydraulic control closer to the drive and achieving a continually more compact envelope. Compared with other products in this market segment, its dimensions have been reduced to a minimum.
