What Are Custom Hydraulic Power Units?

Custom HPU's for assembling automotive drivelines
(Process Control Solutions)

There are many manufacturers of standard model hydraulic power units (HPUs), all of which provide an off-the-shelf, readily available, generically configured system. These standard HPUs are a quick and easy solution when hydraulic power is needed. Many times though, standard HPU's don't fit the bill, and a more customized unit is needed. What to do then?

Custom Designed HPUs
Custom manufactured HPUs are hydraulic power solutions designed to fit a customers exact requirement. Customization generally involves the inclusion of special manifolds, cooling fans, level controls, heat exchangers, filtration systems, relief valves, pressure switches and temperature control.

Why Custom?
Certain processes require unique features. A user's proprietary application might require higher pressures, faster response, or continuous operation. While is sounds antithetical, custom HPUs can actually be less expensive than prebuilt, standard model units. This is because custom units are sized and equipped with only the components the application requires. So in actuality, deciding on a custom HPU can potentially lower initial cost and increase profits by improved long-term performance.

Applications
Custom hydraulic power units are used in widely in compacting applications, automotive manufacturing equipment, transportation equipment, mining equipment, agricultural equipment, and in many industrial applications.

Vendor Selection
The variety of specialized features for hydraulic power units is endless, making engineering depth and broad application experience very important. Make sure this is proven when interviewing a prospective vendor. The more diversified they are in applying hydraulic power units, the more likely you'll have a positive outcome.
