Rexroth expands Modular Directional Valve range
Rexroth has introduced a new size to its range of modular directional valves, rated at up to 25 Litres/min and for working pressures of up to 310 bar
Power packs in the Alpha Pack range are available with reservoir capacities from 100 to 1000 litres, and can be supplied in versions with continuous delivery pressures up to 280 bar.
They can incorporate either fixed or variable displacement pumps, including gear, vane or piston types, with power ratings from 2.2 to 55kW and, depending on the pump type chosen, they can support flow rates up to 171 l/min.
Modular sub-assemblies added to the basic system allow it to be configured to match precisely the needs of the application.

Pump controls for Alpha Pack products are optimised for energy efficiency and safety, and can be arranged to provide constant pressure, flow or pressure-controlled solutions, with automatic load sensing capabilities.
Appropriately sized accumulators, in conjunction with the sophisticated Alpha Pack accumulator control system, further aid energy efficiency by allowing the power packs to cope with cyclic and emergency loads without the need to increase basic capacity.
Fluid conditioning options, including filtration, cooling and heating, are also available, as are flexible interface facilities which allow the power packs to be easily integrated with any modern automation system.
Many further options are offered including, for example, bund trays and even fully customised manifolds, all of which can be incorporated without extending the delivery period.
To help customers choose from the Alpha Pack extensive range of options, Bosch Rexroth has developed its easy-to-use Power Unit Configurator software package, which provides step-by-step guidance through the configuration process.
With this software, the company sales engineers - usually working on the customer premises - can quickly configure systems which optimise both performance and value for money in any specific application.
The software also calculates pricing on the spot, producing a detailed quotation as well as an assembly drawing, a circuit diagram and a detailed parts list. Request a free brochure from Bosch Rexroth ...
