H.13.5 Applications<br />
On account of their specific advantages and disadvantages, hydraulic drives are frequently used in<br />
mobile work machines, such as construction machines and agricultural machines. In these instances,<br />
loads are primarily raised and lowered ( fork lift trucks, diggers, hoists and road pavers, etc.) through<br />
linearly articulated hydraulic cylinders.<br />
Vehicles are often driven by rotating hydraulic gears or fluid convertors, e.g. with so-called inclined axle<br />
or inclined disk machines with which high outputs can be transferred. The special feature in this respect<br />
is that the hydraulic gears can more flexibly adjust the motion of a motor operating with an inflexible<br />
or fixed speed to the operating conditions, as in the case of diesel locomotives, in particular.<br />
Some typical applications involving road pavers are:<br />
- Linearly articulated hydraulic cylinders (raising/lowering the screed)<br />
- Rotating hydraulic gears (undercarriage control)<br />
- Valve actuation<br />
- Clutch and brake activation (wheeled pavers)<br />
- Hydrostatic traction drives<br />
- Hydraulic steering (wheeled pavers)
