Electro-hydraulic linear drive

New and revolutionary

„The e-ahp electro-hydraulic linear actuator combines the advantages of electric (clean, maintenance-free, easy connection) and hydraulic drive systems (high forces, high speeds). A groundbreaking product!“

E-AHP lite

E-AHP lite is characterized by a compact design just like all of our E-AHP units. It does not require any hydraulic power unit, piping, supply hoses, or valve blocks.

Cylinder and drive form a single unit. (However, they can also be supplied and used separately.)

Unlike its larger siblings, the E-AHP lite variant is designed for simple motions. It great advantage lies in its excellent price-performance ratio.

Wedge clamps or other standard elements installed on this unit can be operated entirely independently.

E-AHP basic

The entry point for autarkic hydraulic axes

Autarkic hydraulic axes are compact units consisting of hydraulic cylinder and motor-pump unit. They can be controlled like electromechanical spindle units. The servo motor is controlled by means of a commercially available frequency converter.

Our units support all well-known manufacturers such as Siemens, Beckhoff, KEB, SEW, Schneider,…

Compared to electromechanical axes, the E-AHP units are characterized by very high forces and very low wear. Even if always the same positions are approached, this is no problem with these units.

E-AHP basic units are characterized by their simple design. The retraction and extension speeds and forces are the same due to the so-called synchronous cylinder.

  • For punching, bending, cutting, pressing, etc.
  • Highly precise positioning (< 5 µm)
  • Highly precise pressure and force control
  • Full 4-quadrant operation (bi-directional push/pull)

E-AHP prove

Synchronized with additional options

Both units, the E-AHP basic and the E-AHP prove, are based on a synchronous cylinder.

While the basic unit only has a high-quality servo motor, the prove unit has additional valves integrated for load holding or other control tasks.

Shut-off valves and the like can also be integrated in the prove axis and thus a performance level of D/E can be achieved.

  • For punching, bending, cutting, pressing, etc.
  • Press safety
  • Performance Level D/E possible
  • Highly precise positioning (< 5 µm)
  • Highly precise pressure and force control
  • Full 4-quadrant operation (bi-directional push/pull)

E-AHP performance

Highest precision – maximum energy efficiency

These units differ from our E-AHP basic and E-AHP prove units in two features:

  1. The E-AHP performance is based on a differential cylinder, this allows and a so-called regeneration mode (rapid traverse) and the entry and exit forces are different. This unit can be built the most compact.
  2. The E-AHP performance unit is equipped with a valve block as standard, which offers many possibilities. One of these possibilities is to maintain pressures for a very long time without using energy here.

As with the prove unit, various control tasks can be performed here with the integrated valves. A performance level PL D/E is possible. 

  • For punching, bending, cutting, pressing, etc.
  • Press safety
  • Performance Level D/E possible
  • Highly precise positioning (< 5 µm)
  • Highly precise pressure and force control
  • Full 4-quadrant operation (bi-directional push/pull)
