REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for worldwide metal development company, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer various to lengthy lengths of hydraulic hoses connected to a quayside pump.
Lifting เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำราคา fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to connect the turbine base to a three-point lifting frame and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is completed utilizing a double acting valve association powered by quayside pump connected by lengthy hoses. Smulders was looking for a simpler and safer method of engaging and releasing the shackles without the need for lengthy hoses.
Attached to every leg of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses through the use of a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve related to a cylinder that moves the pin connecting the shackle. The whole system is contained in a compact metal case with an external aerial linking every unit to a wireless controller. For increased security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is provided with an efficient electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional velocity and run time and is designed for distant outdoor locations.
