An electro-hydraulic pump (EHP) combines an electric motor and a hydraulic pump to convert electrical energy into hydraulic flow for powering hydraulic functions. Its compact design and compatibility with different electrical supply voltages make it suitable for selected vehicle systems, lifting applications, and material-handling equipment.
Electro-hydraulic pump units are commonly considered for applications that require electrically driven hydraulic power for lifting, steering, or auxiliary functions. Selecting the right unit requires evaluating flow rate, operating pressure, motor power, supply voltage, duty cycle, and installation requirements.
Hidroman supports hydraulic component selection and system engineering for mobile and industrial applications. Contact the team to discuss an electro-hydraulic pump configuration suited to your equipment.
An electro-hydraulic pump uses an electric motor to drive a hydraulic pump. The pump supplies hydraulic fluid flow to the circuit, while suitable valves and control components direct and regulate the flow to hydraulic actuators.
The main components include:
Electric motor: Converts electrical energy into mechanical rotation.
Hydraulic pump: Generates fluid flow to power the hydraulic circuit.
Control components: Manage flow direction and pressure according to the system design.
Hydraulic actuator: Converts hydraulic energy into linear or rotary motion.
Depending on the application, an integrated design can provide a compact hydraulic drive for equipment with limited installation space.
Combining the electric motor and hydraulic pump in one drive assembly can help simplify packaging in vehicles, mobile machinery, and material-handling equipment.
A properly selected motor and pump can support low-noise operation. Actual noise levels depend on the model, operating pressure, speed, mounting arrangement, and surrounding equipment.
Selected EHP models can support high-pressure hydraulic applications. Maximum intermittent pressure must be distinguished from continuous operating pressure and the manufacturer's permitted duty cycle.
Different nominal voltage options can support integration into a range of vehicle and mobile equipment electrical systems. Motor current requirements and the available power supply must be checked before selection.
Correct sizing, compatible hydraulic fluid, proper installation, and operation within the manufacturer's specifications help support consistent performance and component service life.
The published Hidroman product page lists the following general product-family specifications.
| Specification | Published value |
|---|---|
| Product type | EHP electro-hydraulic pump |
| Pump displacement | 1.0–22 cm³/rev |
| Intermittent pressure | Up to 280 bar |
| Nominal voltage | 12–110 V |
| Design | Electric-motor-driven fixed-displacement pump |
| Primary applications | Vehicles and material-handling systems |
| Hydraulic functions | Lifting and steering |
These values describe the product family and do not necessarily apply to every model. Confirm the exact part number, pressure rating, displacement, voltage, current draw, and duty-cycle limits using the current manufacturer's datasheet.
Electro-hydraulic pump units can be evaluated for applications that require compact, electrically driven hydraulic power, including:
Vehicle-mounted lifting systems
Material-handling equipment
Battery-powered mobile machinery
Auxiliary steering systems
Compact lifting platforms
Specialized vehicle hydraulic systems
Mobile hydraulic control applications
Suitability depends on the machine's electrical architecture, required hydraulic force, operating frequency, and the manufacturer's approved operating conditions.
An electro-hydraulic pump typically refers to a compact drive assembly that combines an electric motor and a hydraulic pump. A hydraulic power unit (HPU) can include additional components such as a reservoir, valves, filters, manifolds, and control equipment.
An integrated EHP may be suitable for space-constrained mobile applications. Larger or more complex industrial systems may require a purpose-designed hydraulic power unit with additional fluid storage, cooling, filtration, and control functions.
The correct solution depends on the complete hydraulic and electrical requirements rather than the product name alone.
Review the following parameters before specifying an EHP unit:
Supply voltage: Confirm the available electrical supply, such as 12 V, 24 V, or another supported voltage.
Required flow rate: Determine the flow needed to achieve the desired actuator speed.
Operating pressure: Specify continuous and intermittent pressure requirements separately.
Pump displacement: Match displacement to the required flow and operating speed.
Motor characteristics: Verify current draw, power, rotational speed, and duty cycle.
Mounting dimensions: Check mechanical interfaces, hydraulic ports, and available installation space.
Thermal requirements: Determine whether the unit will operate intermittently or continuously.
Hydraulic circuit compatibility: Confirm compatibility with valves, cylinders, hoses, and other system components.
Correct sizing helps reduce the risk of inadequate performance, excessive heat generation, and integration problems.
