Economy CountsWe owe that to our good name as amarket leader. Rexroth guaranteesthe highest product quality, a longlife, fast, global and local presence.The possibility, of utilising synergieswithin our group creates measurableadvantages to the customer.

The creation of the highest qualityand lowering of costs in the interestof the client require e.g. the mostmodern simulation technology,such as the analysing of vibrationsand deformations in hydraulic andother systems. All calculations formultidimensional sequences ofmovements and 3D presentationsof complex processes are includedin this performance spectrum.

The supplying of perfect technologyis not enough to survive the hardcompetition. What is required areadditional services such as consulta-tion, training, research and develop-ment, tailor-made for each project.

And this is where Rexroth Systemsand Engineering takes this decisiveservice step further: we impartknow-how, provide good connec-tions and ensure that technologyfunctions just as it should do.

Rexroth – Your Solution PartnerFor each application, there is a spe-cialist department at Rexroth Systemsand Engineering – these “CorporateCenters of Competence”, formed byengineers with decades of experiencein hydraulic drive and control focusedon application areas.

Customers, e.g. designers of technicalinstallations are often faced with awide range of technological disci-plines which they have to implementinto their product.

The strategy of offering application-related package solutions (up toturn-key) is of decisive advantage,especially for the plant designer andoperator.

They can concentrate on the keyquestions of project planning with-out having to deal with the Drive &Control system itself. The customeris able to ask for performance in-stead of technical details.

Especially if it comes to highlysophisticated drive and controlfunctions this implementationturns out to become very deman-ding and therefore one of the suc-cess factors to the whole installa-tion created by the customer.

That is where Rexroth Systems andEngineering comes into place. Wehave specialized in implementingcomplete drive and control systemsinto the clients products and instal-lations, generally on a turn-key ba-sis. Rexroth Systems and Enginee-ring is able to select a close-knitteam from its staff of experienced,creative and highly trained engi-neers and project managers, ex-perts in the field of each specificapplication.

The unique marriage between ap-plication know-how with Drive &Control technology could be ideal-ly achieved for the benefit of thecustomers of Rexroth.

Like no other drive technology, hy-draulics are characterized by highoperational reliability, high powerdensity, compact build, permanentrobustness, minimum mainten-ance requirements, and, in conjunc-tion with control electronics, byexcellent controllability. These areideal prerequisites for a wide spec-trum of applications.

Today hydraulic and electromechanic drives areused according to the requirement profile of theindividual system. In the classical use of hydrauliclinear drives, the advantages are obvious: Theyare powerful and silent.

Due to the high power density, the dimensionsof machines are significantly smaller than thoseof electro-mechanical drives. Hydraulic rotarydrives are used in cases, where linear drives can-not be applicated due to the required strokes orother conditions.

Nevertheless in some cases depending on the requirement, an electrical drive may be the ad-equate solution.

That is fine with us. We do provide these also.Rexroth Systems and Engineering takes the customer’s view and decides what drive fits bestunder the given circumstances.

Creating the Illusion of Reality –Motion for Training

Depending on their application, motion bases show different sizes andconstructions. Rexroth System and Engineeringoffers a great variety of motion systems for all imaginable training and simulation purposes.

9

More and more, simulators incorporate high fidelity hydraulic or electric motion systems toprovide the driver or pilot with motion cues,creating the essential perception of reality. Withan experience of over 20 years, Rexroth Systemsand Engineering has specialized in a wide rangeof professional motion systems.

Hydraulic motion systems are mainly appliedfor high payloads such as full flight simulators.These motion systems are equipped with servocontrolled motion actuators for which flow andpressure is provided by application designedRexroth hydraulic power units and control systems.

The electric motion systems are equipped withelectro-mechanical actuators with the same highsafety standards as hydraulic actuators. Thesemotion systems are applied for both driving andflight simulation.

Nowadays flight and driving simulators arebeing used for high level training. Not only air-craft crews but also drivers of trains, trucks andoperators of cranes are trained in simulators,decreasing costs and risks during the trainingperiod.

Simulators for training cabin crews offer an economic wayof training the on board procedures. The Rexroth motionsystems underneath the aircraft mock-ups support the real-istic sensation of any event cabin crew can be confrontedwith on the job.

Simulating reality means providing illusions. Rexroth motiontechnology brings illusion close to reality.

Putting Ideas into Practice: Testing and Simulation

Testing equipmentTesting equipment for testing thedurability of vehicles has a modularstructure. The use of standardisedsubassemblies combined with intel-ligent engineering yields individualconcepts, which can be integratedin the individual testing equipmentin the form of self-contained overallsystems.

Testing of functions and componentsWith the testing rigs in the formeither of testing function rigs for hydraulic components/vehicle com-ponents or of testing componentrigs for testing the durability ofvehicle components, weak pointsare identified and eliminated, andproduct quality is documented. Central hydraulic power station

Typical test centers of car manufac-turers and OEM car part suppliersneed to supply a wide range ofhydraulic actuators of different testing and simulation equipment.

For this purpose it is of high advan-tage to install a central hydraulicpower station with a programmablecontroller to control the pressuresupply. This comprises inhouse pipework with a pressure, tank andleakage oil line, the shut-off valvesand monitoring sensors.

Rexroth Systems and Engineering has identified the requirements of theindustry and now offers customers bespoke technology to solve theirtesting and simulation tasks.

The resulting specialisation required for the individual sectors, the productfields for testing and simulation services have the following structure:

Control Systems for the Turbine Sector: Energy Technology

Steam turbine during assembly. Steam valvesand their actuators aremounted on both sides.

In cooperation with the German turbine construction industry, Rexroth Systems and Engi-neering has replaced the previously used low-pressure control concept with an innovativehigh pressure control concept for the pressure range of 100 to 160 bar. This concept appliesespecially to the applications of gas and steam turbines.

15

Hydraulic actuator for steamturbine applications. These servo cylinders are fittedwith directly mounted con-trol blocks.

Gas turbine during assembly

The advantage of gas turbines over steam tur-bines is that the entire thermal power can becontrolled via the fuel quantity. For masteringthe turbine in terms of control and safety, onlyvarious systems are required in the fuel circuit.

Generally, gas turbines can be provided with twofuel systems for natural gas or fuel oil. The equip-ment depends on the final customer’s wishes.

The required control and safety equipment mustbe rated for different operating methods. It con-sists of oil and gas valves which are actuated byhydraulic cylinders and controls by Rexroth.In contrast to gas turbines, with steam turbines,the entire thermal power of the turbine has to be controlled by safety and control equipment.

The nominal widths of steam valves, pressuresand temperatures are many times higher thanthat of gas turbines. The hydraulic cylindersused are therefore rated for a higher power de-mand and provided with larger diameters andspring packages.

These components cover the power range of 60to 240 MW for gas turbines and 50 to 1,000 MWfor steam turbines.

Masses in Motion: Materials Handling

Typically, the Rexroth’s applications are charac-terized by the internationality of the businessand competition with traditionally prevailingelectro-mechanical drive technology.

Its characteristics set the measuring standard forour hydro-static alternative: Operability, opera-tional safety, reliability and life-cycle costs mustbe equal or better – which they are.

The systems comprise the entire Rexroth productrange, but depending on application, we rathertend towards the use of “industrial” instead of“mobile” products. In the field of materials hand-ling, we therefore speak of “industrial hydraulicsin mobile machines”.

The Rexroth Drive & Control concept with powerpacks, cylinders, gearboxes and electronics are tailored to the application at hand, but consist ofcomponents from our standard product range.

This ensures international availability of spare partsand local service knowledge. Apart from this, inthe regional Centers of Competence, Rexroth offers a network of system advisors who, in coope-ration with us, provide comprehensive advisoryservice for customers’ specific problems and speaktheir language – in any respect.

In close cooperation with planning and operatingcompanies of such plants, Rexroth has developedhydraulic drive systems for hydraulic steelwork.

Like no other drive technology, hydraulic systemsoffer high operational reliability, high power den-sity, compact design, permanent solidity, minimumrequired maintenance and excellent regulatingcapacity combined with control electronics –which are the best conditions for hydraulic steel-work.

Innovative technologies, such as the develop-ment of Ceramax piston rod coating or of theposition sensor system CIMS, contribute to the increase in solidity, corrosion resistance andthus service life of hydraulic drives.

The use of servo or proportionally controlledpumps enables infinitely variable adjustment oftravel speeds and acceleration and decelerationtimes, accurate synchronous control and energysaving as well.

Handling Gigantic Masses by Rexroth: Shiplifts and Transfer Systems

Ships start their life on land and return thereonce in a while for overhaul, repair or main-tenance. A sophisticated and efficient way oflifting, lowering and shifting such heavy weightsis by using a shiplift system.

Shiplift systems are superior to other dockingsystems, because ships can be transferred fromthe platform to a parking area, leaving the shipliftfree for other docking activities. Therefore theshiplift system in general includes also a transfersystem.

In the past, the first shiplifts were driven by hydraulic cylinders. In the early eighties, Rexrothsupplied its first winch driven shiplift.

Nowadays the company supplies shiplifts withhydraulic or electrical drives. Shiplift systems areoften supplied on a turn-key basis, includingsteel structural platform, transfer system and erection.

Even a mammoth tanker iseasily carried away with thehelp of a hydraulically dri-ven transfer system on theshiplift installation at Stral-sund, Germany.

21

Lifting a ship out of the water means more than just wheel-ing it up. Here, on the Navy shipyard at Den Helder in theNetherlands, special hydraulic provisions on the shipliftkeep the vessel in its horizontal and vertical position.

Now and then even submarines have to expose themselvesto the light of day. For this shiplift at the Kockums Shipyardat Malmoe, Sweden, it is a routine job.

23

The dredge industry strongly depends on spe-cialized drive and control technology. The ma-jority of the dredging fleet is equipped withRexroth drive and controls.

From engineering, production of power packs,valve blocks, cylinders and pipe work, to thecommissioning on site, anything can be realizedwithin the Rexroth group of companies. Particu-larly the Netherlands has a long dredging tradition.No wonder the Rexroth’s S & E Center of Com-petence for the dredge industry is located in thiscountry.

Besides the dredging vessels, Rexroth S & E isexperienced with the drive and control installa-tions of a wide range of special vessels for floodbarrier construction.

A hopper dredger is likeone huge floating hydraulicinstallation. Almost all func-tions on board the ship arehydraulically driven. Rexrothprovides them all.

The engine room of a dredger looks like afactory. A labyrinth of pipework and hydrau-lic equipment make the complicated instal-lation work. Rexroth has a long history indesigning and manufacturing these typesof special hydraulic installations.

Opening bottom doors is realized by rowsof special hydraulic cylinders, verticallymounted on deck.

Deepening seaways, riversand harbours is usually ajob for the dredging fleet.Those dredging vesselsare specially designed fortheir jobs. Hopper dred-gers mainly dump their loadby opening bottom doors.Other vessels unload bysimply splitting up theirentire hull.
