MiniBOOSTER Hydraulics has released a hydraulic pressure booster that is said to offer a higher performance and longer life than other systems.
According to the company, the use of pressure boosters offers a number of advantages over traditional high-pressure and low-pressure systems including a more compact system, greater safety, integrated valves, no dynamic seals and intensification radio adapted to requirements.
The pressure booster increases the supply of hydraulic pressure to a higher end pressure.
According to the manufacturer, when oil is supplied, the pressure booster automatically starts to work to build up the required end pressure. When the required end pressure has been achieved, the pressure booster stops and will only work to maintain the end pressure, for example to compensate for consumption or any leak. The pressure booster works according to a patented system.
In principle, the pressure booster can be used wherever there is a need for an unusually high pressure at a given time.
In general, the pressure booster is mounted directly on the cylinder, and the expensive high-pressure connection is reduced to a minimum.
If the cylinder has to move forwards at a higher speed than the volume flow through the pressure booster allows, the integrated pilot-operated check valve can be replaced with an external valve.
In systems in which the pump is dimensioned not only to operate a single cylinder but must also supply a number of other consumers, the volume flow supplied can increase the pressure booster’s operating frequency to a level at which its life will be reduced.
In such systems, it would be a good idea to place a throttle valve before the pressure booster.
