How To Save Energy With Your Hydraulics
Saving energy is becoming more and more important all the time. There are many ways you can make your hydraulic system more efficient, whilst still maximising productivity.
Lightweight Materials
- By using hydraulics with lightweight materials, you are not putting as much pressure on the internal system components, which means you are lowering energy and improving system reliability.
Item Location
- Keeping your hydraulics in a well ventilated area removes the risk of dust and other particles making their way into the filters which can restrict the system and reduce its energy efficiency.
Using the right pump for the application
- By using an over sized pump, you will be increasing energy consumption.
Keep system pressure under control
Using multiple pumps
- Sometimes using multiple pumps working together can be more energy efficient that using a single pump.
Maintenance
- By making sure your hydraulic equipment is up to date with maintenance you are ensuring continued energy efficiency,

SPX Powerteam Motion Control System
POWER TEAM® SYNCHRONIZED LIFTING AND LOWERING SYSTEM
SPX Power Team Motion Controller System (MCS) can be used in many hydraulic applications where load position is critical, requiring cylinder synchronization.
Whether it is a bridge, a building or any kind of heavy load, with the SPX Powerteam Motion Control System, lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, tilting or positioning loads can be carried out automatically with a high degree of accuracy.
On the SPX Powerteam Motion Control System, the PLC controlled system is a combination of digital actuation and digital control providing significant advantages such as time savings, repeatability, and extremely low internal stress in the object one is moving. The system also provides documentation for the movement performed.
Features
