Industrial Hydraulics in Civil Engineering Water Power Bosch Rexroth has developed hydraulic drives and cylinders designed to handle the complex, powerful forces exerted by river dams and medium- and high-pressure hydroelectric power stations. We have in-depth experience applying hydraulics engineering principles to challenges such as: Dam bottom outlet gates must produce high pulling and pushing forces of several 1,000 kN Turbine intake gates and draft tube gates must close at velocities of 20m/min or more Turbine controls requiring high position accuracy, short response times and high dynamics Tainter gates need large slender hydraulics cylinders that move both slowly and in close synchronization All hydraulics systems must provide highest degree of operational safety Hydraulics and Electronics in Civil Engineering Learn more about the full range of products and resources Rexroth offers for civil engineering projects.
