Hydraulics systems
With the CAMI Solution division, we have what it takes to study and design new hydraulics systems in a customised manner, but also to revamp existing ones. Each request is studied by our consultants in order to guide the customer towards the best service or product for their needs.

WHAT IS A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A hydraulic system is a plant designed to move one or more actuators (cylinders, hydraulic motors, etc.) through a force which is transmitted through a fluid (typically a hydraulic oil) at a predefined pressure. The fluid, which is contained in a tank, is aspired by a pump and pushed through the distribution ad adjustment organs until it activates the actuator.
The actuator must overcome the resistance offered by the load and therefore requires to the hydraulic fluid a proportional pressure to this resistance.
Appropriate regulating valves allow the pump to push the fluid at the required speed and to adjust the pressure according to the needs of the load.
When the fluid has finished its function it returns to the tank, to be aspired again by the pump.
The hydraulic fluid is almost incompressible and can therefore transmit considerable forces, it is easily adjustable and therefore ideal for realizing the drive.
It is clear that the pressure is not generated by the pump, but rather by the load which opposes the passage of the fluid: if there were no resistances, the fluid could flow freely and the pressure would become zero.
HOW IT'S DONE
A hydraulic system is made up of 3 groups of fundamental elements:
Transformation group of electrical energy into hydraulic energy:
- tank
- motor
- pump
- pipes, fittings, other accessories
Hydraulic energy regulation and distribution unit
- Pressure and regulating valves
- Flow meters
- Directional valves
Group for the transformation of hydraulic energy into mechanical energy
- Actuators
- Cylinders
- Motors
The hydraulic components located in a plant can be many and for each family there is an enormous variety of types and brands. Furthermore, being subjected to great wear and mechanical stress, they must be constantly subjected to preferably scheduled checks and maintenance, both to protect the risk of machine downtime and for the safety of the operators.
WHAT IS IT FOR
Hydraulic systems find applications in many sectors. They are widely used both in the industrial sector and in the mobile sector. Some examples can be various applications in the iron and steel and metalworking sectors, presses for the ceramic sector, but also in waste compactors and shredders (recycling), or even in the industrial and naval lifting sector.
But there are not only big hydraulic systems, there are also those destined to be integrated into industrial vehicles, for example, to improve their performance (braking, locking systems, etc.)
