When motion is the challenge, MCE has the solution to move you. Motion solutions come in three major categories: hydraulic, electromechanical, and pneumatic. Learn the difference between the three to discover the right fit for your applications.
Benefits, Applications, and Utility of Hydraulics
High Power Output—Hydraulic systems provide high power output, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications that require significant force
» Hydraulic Systems can withstand up to 400 tons of force
Precision—Moderate levels of precision and control, making them well-suited for tasks that require positioning and force control
Constant Force—Provide constant force throughout their range of motion
Temperature Stability—Less sensitive to temperature changes due to use of hydraulic fluids
Efficiency—More efficient in terms of power transmission compared to pneumatic systems, especially in heavy-load scenarios

Limitations of Hydraulics
Environmental Concerns—Pose environmental hazards if they leak or spill, potentially leading to contamination
Maintenance Complexity—Require careful maintenance to prevent leaks and ensure proper fluid levels
Complex Design—More complex to design, install, and maintain compared to pneumatic systems
Safety—High pressures lead to safety risks
