Scalable Motion Control with hydraulic expertise from Rexroth

Motion Control MAC-8 for controlling up to 32 hydraulic and electromechanical axes
Rexroth opens up new degrees of freedom in the field of automation with a comprehensive portfolio of intelligent, electrohydraulic solutions. The product range comprises decentralized, intelligent Motion Controls with internal and external closed-loop control electronics as well as a high-end MAC-8 Motion Control for controlling up to 32 hydraulic and electromechanical axes in real time. The drive and control specialist took account of the special requirements of hydraulic drive technology in the associated software, thus simplifying the integration of field bus-capable hydraulics into modern control architectures.

Electrohydraulic axes by Rexroth reach new dimensions with acceleration rates of up to 80 G, rapid speeds up to 10 m/s and real-time control cycles. Depending on the measuring system used, the axes are positioning at a micron level accuracy. Both, external closed-loop control electronics for motion control applications for one to four axes in conjunction with the VT-HACD and the HNC1000 families, and IAC axis controllers integrated in the valve communicate with the higher-level control via common field buses. Rexrothhs Motion Control generation HNC100-3xx expands the fields of application of the electrohydraulic NC control family HNC100. This new, scalable controller format generation controls up to four electrohydraulic axes. The increased computing power significantly shortens scan rates. Users can simply transfer their know-how saved in previous HNC programs to the new generation, which offers numerous new functionalities.

The Motion Control software is provided with controller structures to compensate for non-linearities of the hydraulics by means of corresponding controller parameters and allows users without in-depth knowledge of hydraulics to commission hydraulic drive technology. In this way, Rexroth drastically simplifies the integration of electrohydraulic drives.

Apart from decentralized axis controls that can be finely scaled in terms of power and functionality, Rexroth offers the high-end Motion Control Rexroth MAC-8, a solution for particularly complex automation tasks. This control of modular design controls two to 32 axes or a correspondingly greater number by way of cross-communication and is ideal for use, for example in steelworks, presses, sawmills or special machinery. This control, too, can be hooked up to a control network via Profibus DP or Ethernet TCP-IP and UDP-Communication respectively.

New Parker Piston Pumps Offer Efficient Operation in Hydraulic Fan Drive Systems

New Parker Piston Pumps Offer Efficient Operation in Hydraulic Fan Drive Systems, Further Reducing Fuel Consumption and Emissions Output for Off-Highway Vehicles
MARYSVILLE, OH - New 18 and 28cc P1/PD Series piston pumps are now available from Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies. Design optimized for open-circuit applications, P1/PD pumps can enhance the performance of hydraulic fan drive systems, helping reduce fuel consumption and emissions output for off-highway vehicles.

EPA Tier 4 emissions standards for off-highway diesel engines are forcing engineers to develop new solutions for cooling construction, agricultural and industrial equipment. Hydraulic fan drive systems - an alternative to traditional belt-driven fans - have received increasing attention in recent years. The ability to control fan speed independent of engine speed provides significantly improved cooling efficiency and fuel economy.

P1/PD pumps are engineered for continuous, reliable, efficient operation at the higher temperatures and pressures at work in today's emissions-compliant diesels. In a variable electro-hydraulically controlled fan system, a P1/PD pump can provide up to 5% fuel savings and reduce cooler size by up to 50% compared to a standard fixed displacement system.

Parker's new 18 and 28cc displacement pumps are best suited for improving the performance of fan drive, steering, accessory and load sensing systems on construction and material handling equipment including backhoes, excavators, skid steers, telehandlers and cranes. Including 45, 60, 75, 100 and 140cc displacement models, the P1/PD Series is now complete with a variable, axial piston pump solution for a wide range of medium-duty mobile (P1) and industrial (PD) applications.

Besides fuel savings and emissions reductions, customers will appreciate the P1/PD pumps' compact size, which allows considerable mounting flexibility. Their low noise output also helps companies comply with OSHA "Noise at Work" standards - particularly in industrial settings - while potentially reducing the expense of extra sound insulation for machines.

Worldwide, P1/PD pumps are used in a wide range of applications including concrete pumpers, oilfield power units, mining hauling trucks, horizontal drillers, marine bow thrusters, military transport vehicles, water jet cutters, plastic extrusion machines, head presses and injection molders, among many others.

Rated for continuous operation at pressures up to 280 bar, P1/PD pumps feature:


Compact, round housing (quieter than comparable "flat surface" designs)
Low flow ripple to further reduce noise
Simple hydraulic controls with "no leak" adjustments
Elastomer seals to eliminate gaskets and external leakage
SAE and ISO standard mounting flanges and ports
Tapered-roller shaft bearings
Low friction, hydrostatically balanced swash plate saddle bearings
Full power through-drive capability
End or side inlet and outlet ports
Case drain ports for horizontal or vertical shaft-up mounting
Optional maximum and minimum volume stops
Optional case-to-inlet check valve to extend shaft seal life
