Summary

Hydraulic components have played an important role in off-highway equipment for decades, powering drive systems and attachments. Increased use of electronics in this market required hydraulic components to extend their functionality without sacrificing flexibility and the availability of traditional options.

To help meet this market need, Bosch Rexroth introduced electronic pump control to its family of axial piston pumps with the new A1VC pump. This enabled the standard electro-mechanical and hydraulic controls typically used in the off-highway equipment market to be retained while enabling improved controllability and flexibility through use of electronic controls. In addition, the electronic controls allow readily available software modules to be used in a wider range of applications to help ease hydraulic pump integration and reduce time to market.

This webinar will provide you with:

  • an overview of the A1VC pump design,
  • an understanding of the technological benefits possible with electronic pump control,
  • and an application example of how electronic pump control was used and outperformed traditional systems in a real-world machine design.
