Research Projects
According to our research priorities to topics arise in the sectors:
Physical-technical fundamentals/fluids:
- cavitation and cavitation erosion in typical hydraulic flow geometries
- vapour cavitation (evaporation / condensation) and
gas cavitation (de- and absorption of air) - determination of material data and characteristic values of different hydraulic fluids
- particle transport via sealing elements
Hydraulic components:
- hydrostatic displacement machines, hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearings, valves and valve spools, seals
- components for special applications in automotive and aerospace applications as well as machine tools
Stationary hydraulic systems:
- electro-hydraulic compact drives
- plastic injection moulding machines
- hydraulic deep-drawing presses
- machine tools
Mobile hydraulic systems:
- drive systems for mobile machines (traction drive, steering, working hydraulics)
- alternative drive structures such as separate metering systems or displacement controls
Pneumatic components and systems:
- electro-pneumatic handling systems
- pneumatic valve technology
- cylinder drives
- vacuum ejectors
Valve actuators/solenoids:
- proportional and switching solenoids
