Power Units 2

Most standard models can be provided with single, double, or triple guiding installations by utilizing one or more servo valves on a single power unit. There are many advantages in having one power unit controlling more than one guide. The biggest advantage is cost savings.

Requirements for shifting speed, load, and hydraulic cylinder size must be considered in selecting the proper model for either type of power unit. Selection of an air or electronic sensor will dictate whether a pneumohydraulic or electrohydraulic power unit is required.
