Differences between Industrial, Mobile, Transport and Agriculture
Industrial and mobile hydraulic systems share the same basic physical characteristics, that is using pressurized, fluid to transmit power.
Industrial hydraulics are usually designed for stationary, more controlled environments such as presses, injection molders, and factory automation where precision, duty cycle, noise control, and long service life all matter.
Mobile hydraulics (transport and agricultural systems) are built into vehicles and field machines such as trucks, tractors, harvesters, trailers and lifts where compact solutions, ruggedness, variable ambient conditions, weight and power constraints are primary drivers..
While all hydraulic systems use the same theory, the components and system design can differ greatly between applications, however both industrial and mobile systems use the same components in many instances.
Key Differences.
-
- Duty Cycle; Continuous Verses Intermittent
- Environmental conditions; Pharmaceutical manufacture Verses Mine site and anything in between.
- Power Source; Fixed speed Electric motors Verses Engine and PTO drives Verses Battery powered DC Power Units.
- Components style; Proportional, Servo, Stackable, Cartridge, Low-cost Mobile valves, & Valves and controls specifically customized for different functions and Industries.
- Examples; Sun Cartridge valves, Hydreco, Pumps, PTO’s, controls and valves for the transport industry.
