- 3. Advantages <strong>of</strong> hydraulic drives <strong>for</strong> bascule bridges0<strong>The</strong> bascule bridges <strong>for</strong> <strong>Seville</strong> show clearly the advantages <strong>of</strong> the hydraulicdrive. If compared to an electric mecanical drive the following features are <strong>of</strong>nportance:- <strong>The</strong> pump control systems <strong>of</strong>fer low energy consumption- Starting efficiency <strong>of</strong> hydraulic cylinders is high. <strong>The</strong> installed power canbe almost reduced to the demands <strong>of</strong> running efficiency.- Acceleration, decelleration and synchronization are smouth and controllable.- <strong>Hydraulic</strong> cylinders are direct linear drives. Installation is pratically unlimited,as pump drive and actuators can be separated.- If properly installed hydraulic drive are environmentally clean.Some more general features <strong>of</strong> electric- mechanical drives versus hydraulic drivesare shown in Fig. 10.eIt is evident that hydraulic cylinder drives <strong>for</strong> bascule bridges are very attractive<strong>for</strong> civil engineering.Dr.-Ing.
