Electrohydraulic thruster ELHY® type EB

Robust compact drive for heavy lifting and handling equipment

The ELHY® electro-hydraulic unit is characterized by long term durability and high setting forces with smooth and quiet operation. The compact design and user-defined installation position create particularly easy installation and operation.
Today electro-hydraulic units, also known as ELHY thruster, are predominantly employed in heavy lifting equipment and conveying equipment. In combination with modern drum and disk brakes they ensure safe and gentle braking. They ensure the safety of people and machines alike during braking procedures as well as in emergency or power failure situations, for example when then power supply is cut off.

Continual innovative further development are characteristic for ELHY units which have been produced for 50 years at Oschersleben. Over this period approximately 1 million electro-hydraulic units of four generations of products have been delivered under the trademark of ELHY®.
​
The advantages of ELHY brake thrusters are:
  • Long useable life - up to 10 million switchings
  • Digital and analogue sensors for monitoring proper functioning
  • Setting force from 120N up to 6300N
  • Setting path from 40mm up to 160 mm
  • Variable mounting position 


Electrohydraulic thruster ELHY® type EBC
Electrohydraulic thrusters serie EBC generate with the compact construction a high force of 500N up to 1000N. The general application fields are lifting of drum and disc brakes.

ELHY® electro-hydraulic units combine all the elements of a hydraulic unit in one constructional unit. They consist of a hydraulic pump with an electric drive motor, a hydraulic line system and a working cylinder with piston and lifting rod. The electric power is converted into a linear movement.
Main advantages 
  • high lifting force and compact dimensions
  • smooth and shock-free operation
  • variable mounting position
  • low noise work
