Specialists in Hydraulic Generators and Hydraulic Power Solutions

Our product range is simple "Hydraulic Generators", the unique design of our manifold system enables us to offer an extensive range of hydraulic generators utilising the same compact manifold system and adaptor arrangement.

We offer units with power outputs from 2.5 through to 30kVa,  single or three phase, 50 or 60hz as well as dc generators and welding generators.

Our standard units are available from 2.5 to 12kVa, units over 12kVa are built to order.

The hydraulic generator consists of several component parts, alternator, gear motor and manifold. Our basic generator consists of only an alternator and gear motor close coupled, these units are suited where your existing hydraulic circuit is able to give a regulated fixed flow rate as determined by the gear motor to drive the alternator at a fixed speed. All of our machines have to operate at a fixed speed of 3000rpm, for example a hydraulic generator fitted with a 7cc gear motor will require a flow rate 21 litres, which is 7cc x 3000rpm, how much power is available is determined by the pressure available at the required flow rate from the existing hydraulic system.

We then offer two different manifold systems, one for hydraulic systems utilising fixed displacement pumps and one for variable displacement pumps or swash pumps as they are commonly known.

The fixed displacement manifolds incorporate all of the components required for the generator to be integrated into the existing hydraulic system circuit (see below)

 P1 is the flow input from the existing gear pump, P2 is flow out to the existing hydraulic system, only when the diverter valve is energised will the generator work, this will isolate all other functions of the equipment on which it is installed, T1 is tank return, the manifold also incorporates a pressure compensated flow control valve, pressure relief valve and anti-cavitation valve.

The variable displacement system is somewhat different and usually has to be adapted to suit the application, the manifold incorporates a load sense port and an additional shuttle valve has to be incorporated into the existing load sense line from the swash pump, we can provide expert guidance on the installation of this unit, we would normally require a copy of the hydraulic schematic.

We continue to develop our range of hydraulic driven equipment expanding beyond the generator market, if there is something you would like to see then please do not hesitate to contact us.
