Less Energy
Less material

Design with optimized flow and material use
Less Fluid

Efficient system design

Less Energy

Less electricity consumption
Less operating costs
Less CO₂ emissions

Optimum hydraulic system design
Energy efficiency can be significantly increased by optimizing systems through simulation and other software tools during the design phase.

Sytronix variable-speed drives
Through the energy-on-demand principle of variable speed drives, energy savings of up to 80% can be achieved. At the same time, they also minimize noise levels.

Kinetic buffering
Energy released during braking can be stored hydraulically, mechanically or electrically and fed back into the system at the appropriate point.

Less material

Design with optimized flow and material use

High efficiency
Less space
Lower costs

Innovative geometries
With the help of additive manufacturing procedures, Bosch Rexroth produces innovative geometries for flow-optimized manifolds and valves which allow lighter, more compact components and higher levels of efficiency.

Less Fluid

Efficient system design

Lower insurance costs
Lower fluid costs
Lower fluid consumption

Designed with optimal flow and degassing
With the help of our simulation systems, we design units with optimized flow and degassing for new and existing systems. These produce the same power output but with much smaller tanks and with much less hydraulic oil.
