Agriculture and Forestry Equipment:

Tractors and Harvesters: For agricultural machinery that requires periodic lifting and lowering, such as the hydraulic arms on tractors or small-scale harvesters, this unit provides the required pressure in a compact form.

Log Splitters: With its robust pressure capabilities, the power unit can drive log splitters efficiently, providing consistent power to handle a range of wood densities.

Material Handling and Industrial Equipment:

Scissor Lifts and Lifting Tables: In industrial settings, this power unit can support the lifting and lowering mechanisms in scissor lifts and hydraulic tables. Its portability and efficiency make it particularly useful in warehouse environments.

Press Machines: For applications requiring single-stroke actions, such as some hydraulic press operations, the unit’s single-acting configuration is well-suited, delivering force only in the pressing direction.

Construction and Mining Equipment:

Portable Drilling Rigs: In construction or mining, the hydraulic unit can be used to provide power to small, portable drilling rigs, enabling operations in locations where electric or pneumatic power sources are unavailable.

Concrete Mixers: This unit can power the tilting mechanism in portable concrete mixers, ensuring efficient material handling on construction sites.

Product Features and Model Details

Gear Pump Efficiency: The 2.1cc/rev gear pump provides efficient displacement and pressure capabilities, designed to maintain a steady flow and consistent output. Gear pumps are known for their reliability, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with a range of hydraulic fluids, making them suitable for rigorous and repetitive tasks.

High Pressure Capacity: With a working pressure of up to 16 MPa (160 Bar), this unit offers a strong and stable hydraulic force capable of handling demanding applications, such as lifting heavy loads or operating in challenging environments.

12V DC Motor: The unit’s 12V 3KW motor is specifically designed for mobile and battery-operated applications, allowing the power unit to function efficiently in off-grid or vehicle-mounted scenarios. The high power output of the motor ensures rapid response times and sustained operation, even in prolonged usage.

Single-Acting Operation: As a single-acting hydraulic system, this unit is designed to apply hydraulic force in one direction (usually for lifting or pushing). Gravity or an additional mechanism returns the system to its starting position, simplifying the design and conserving energy.

Reservoir Capacity: The 12L hydraulic oil reservoir provides ample fluid capacity, reducing the need for frequent refills and supporting continuous operation without interruption. The size is optimized to balance portability with hydraulic needs, making it suitable for both mobile and stationary use.

Wire Control System: The wire control system enhances user safety and convenience, allowing the operator to control the hydraulic function from a distance. This is particularly valuable in applications where close proximity to moving machinery may pose a risk, or where remote control enables more precise operation.

Durability and Maintenance

This hydraulic power unit is constructed with durability in mind, featuring materials and components that can withstand harsh working conditions and extended operation. Key aspects of its durability include:

Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: The external surfaces are treated with corrosion-resistant coatings to protect against moisture, chemicals, and other environmental factors commonly encountered in industrial, agricultural, and construction settings.

High-Quality Seals: Premium-quality seals are used throughout to prevent leaks, reduce maintenance needs, and ensure consistent pressure.

Easy-to-Maintain Design: The modular design allows for straightforward access to components such as the motor, pump, and reservoir, making it easy for users to perform routine maintenance or repairs as needed.

Model Variants and Customization

Changzhou Rohn Hydraulic offers a range of customization options to adapt this model to specific applications:

Alternative Voltages: While this model operates on a 12V DC system, other voltage options (such as 24V) are available upon request for specialized applications.

Pump Displacement Options: While the 2.1cc/rev gear pump is standard, other displacements can be selected based on the application’s flow requirements, allowing users to optimize flow rate and operating efficiency.

Reservoir Customization: The 12L reservoir can be adjusted to different sizes to match various fluid volume requirements, enhancing suitability for specific operational durations.

Control Options: In addition to wire control, wireless remote control or manual control options are available, providing flexibility based on user preference and application context.

Safety Features and Compliance

To meet safety standards, this unit includes the following:

Overload Protection: Built-in overload protection ensures that the hydraulic system remains within safe pressure limits, preventing potential damage or failure due to excessive loads.

Safety Valves: The unit includes safety valves to manage pressure and fluid flow effectively, reducing the risk of sudden pressure surges.

ISO9001 and CE Compliance: The 12V 3KW 12L Single Acting Hydraulic Power Unit adheres to international quality and safety standards, providing users with the assurance of a reliable, globally compliant product.

Operational Efficiency and Performance

This power unit’s design maximizes energy efficiency:

Low Power Draw: The 12V DC motor’s low power requirement makes it compatible with battery-powered operations, allowing prolonged usage in remote locations without excessive energy consumption.

Reduced Heat Generation: The gear pump and hydraulic system are engineered to minimize heat buildup, which helps to extend the lifespan of both hydraulic fluid and system components.

Quick Response Time: The combination of the high-powered motor and efficient pump ensures a rapid response, which is critical in applications requiring frequent starts and stops or quick actuation.

Applications Summary
