Hydraulics Construction Set

Hydraulics offer superior performance over direct combustion, electric, and servo motors when torque, speed range, closed loop operation, transmission requirements, longevity, robustness, and cost are considered in one. For this reason, hydraulic power is the preferred motor choice for OSE - primarily on grounds of multipurpose flexibility.

For example, a 5 cubic inch PTO Hydraulic Motor may be used for a 1 hp small shredder, wheel drive of a 500 lb vehicle, the rotor of a 10KW wind turbine, cnc heavy machine spindle, CNC lathe chuck with encoder, or slow solar driven drive at the 250 watt range.

As such, OSE is developing a construction set where such hydraulic motors are part of a builder's kit for multipurpose machinery.

Critical components of such a set include;

• Fluid power quick coupling system.
• Motor shaft-to-implement quick coupler system
• Quick coupling of rotors to a jack shaft
• Wide range of rotor units
• Rotary encoders for motion automation
• Positional guidance systems for automated motion, including both replication and altitude to 1" accuracy
• A wide range of hydraulic power units, solar and fluid fuel powered, scalable from 1/4 kW to 200 kw
