CytroBox hydraulic power unit boosts efficiency

Dec. 1, 2019
Unit by Bosch Rexroth has smaller footprint and uses less oil than competitors, and is Industry 4.0-compatible.
CytroBox Bosch Rexroth’s medium-performance hydraulic power unit delivers from 7.5 kilowatts (kW) to 30 kW of hydraulic power. The CytroBox can easily be integrated into existing production lines in a plastics processing or mold making facility. It is Industry 4.0-compatible, with a sensor package that monitors key status indicators and displays them on a tablet, PC or smartphone. 

What’s new? The unit.

Benefits A small footprint and energy efficiency. The CytroBox’s additively manufactured manifold block is compact and requires only 150 liters of oil — a 75 percent decrease compared with traditional hydraulic power units. The unit’s variable-speed pump responds to actual demand, which offers an energy savings of up to 60 percent compared to conventional power units. Its motor pump group attaches to a polymer-concrete foundation, reducing its noise level even when it is operating at full load.
