Not every hydraulic pump-drive application can be solved by selecting a standard gearbox from a catalogue.
The engine or prime mover, hydraulic pumps, operating speed, duty cycle, installation space and environmental conditions can all affect the configuration required. When these factors are not considered together, the result can be premature wear, excessive heat, reliability problems or a pump drive that simply does not fit the equipment.
More Than a Standard Pump Drive
OEM Dynamics supplies proven hydraulic pump-drive products from Technodrive and Durst, supported by more than 50 years of experience in power transmission, engineering and manufacturing.
Depending on the application, our involvement may begin with selecting a standard pump drive and matching the required input and pump-mounting arrangements.
When a standard product is not enough, our engineering and manufacturing capabilities allow us to configure or modify the solution around the equipment. This can include:
- Alternative input and output arrangements
- Multiple hydraulic pump configurations
- Custom mounting components and adaptors
- Lubrication and oil-cooling systems
- Application-specific housings and fabricated components
- Modifications to suit restricted installation spaces
- Repair or refurbishment of existing pump drives
A Practical Approach to Difficult Applications
A recent tower-crane application demonstrates why pump-drive selection sometimes needs to extend beyond a catalogue part number.
The installation required the drive arrangement, hydraulic pumps and available space to be considered together. OEM Dynamics was able to combine suitable pump-drive components with application-specific engineering and manufacturing to develop a practical solution for the equipment.
This same approach can be applied to new machinery, replacement pump drives and existing installations experiencing reliability, temperature or maintenance problems.
Support Throughout the Equipment’s Life
Our involvement does not have to end when the pump drive is supplied.
OEM Dynamics can provide replacement parts, technical assistance, inspection, repairs, refurbishment and further modifications as operating requirements change. This provides customers with a single point of support throughout the working life of the equipment.
