Fixed speed, open-loop power unit designs still play a vital role in countless heavy-duty hydraulic applications. Safe and consistent operation demands power unit controls made from quality materials, hardened and machined to the tightest tolerances and the finest finishes.

Many power units are designed for stable pressure, and HydraForce has the valves that ensure fast response with low hysteresis in these applications. Other power units operate more dynamically. HydraForce offers power unit controls for these applications too.

Important functions and capabilities of HydraForce power unit controls include:

  • Direct-acting and pilot-operated designs to suit your hydraulic power unit
  • Hardened components for added durability and extended life
  • Screw-in, cartridge-style designs for easy installation and upgrading
  • Fast response with low hysteresis and low leak rates

RVD58-20 High Performance Relief Valve

RVD58-20 High Performance Relief Valve

Features a damped poppet design that offers stable performance and low pressure rise over the entire flow range. The damping chamber of the valve results in smoother performance, lower hysteresis, better re-seating and a quieter valve.

3-position, 4 way solenoid and proportional directional valves

3-position, 4 way solenoid and proportional directional valves

With these valves, you can reduce the number of cartridges needed in load-sensing circuits, especially where the load-holding can be done by the directional valve.

IOT Fleet Management for Power Units

Implemented on mining trucks, HydraForce Internet of Things (IOT) technology improves reliability and availability and can even extend its lifetime. This is achieved by capturing and reporting operating data such as variable speed fan control, brake controls, priority steering controls, and accumulator charging, as well as through enhanced control and improved asset utilization.


Mining operations make substantial investments in equipment. IOT fleet management technology from HydraForce raises ROI by improving availability and reducing maintenance costs.


IOT Fleet Management Solutions  

  • Monitoring and logging of key operating characteristics (cycles, hours, temperatures, pressures, vibration, etc.)
  • Reporting of key performance indicators
  • Remote adjustment of on-board settings (maximum permitted speeds, loads, etc.)
  • Updating of onboard software
  • Geo-location
  • Reducing the risk of breakdown and preventing unnecessary maintenance
