Complete and intelligent systems

SAE 100 Future look: The future of mobile hydraulics can be seen today. Modern mobile hydraulics of today and tomorrow consists of complete system solutions with integrated electronics, which make off-highway machinery more efficient and, at the same time, reduce life-cycle costs.

One of the unique requirements of mobile components is that they stand up to harsh conditions. Long-term temperature resistance of −40 to +85°C (−40 to +185°F) and shock resistance of up to 25 g-combined with enhanced electromagnetic compatibility-are required for onboard components to perform reliably.

The Bosch Rexroth RC control device family is one example of components specifically developed for use in mobile machinery. For complex applications, several control systems can be interconnected. The control devices communicate by means of CAN bus, which was developed by Bosch and now enjoys worldwide acceptance. The combination of digital closed-loop control electronics and tried-and-tested hydraulics has led to quantum leaps in efficiency and flexibility.
