3. The future of hydrostatic transmissions
Hydrostatic transmissions have yet to achieve the level of development in the industrial sector to which they are entitled.
Presses, shears and forming machines have long used hydraulic components, but have not always kept pace with the progress they could benefit from.
In machine tools and industrial robots, hydraulics have a control or servo-control function, but rarely a transmission function.
In many cases, hydrostatic drives could provide control, regulation and safety features that would enhance the value of production machines: however, these possibilities are rarely exploited (mixers, extruders).
A major advantage of hydrostatic transmissions for the future lies in their compatibility and complementarity with other technologies such as electrical, electronic and mechanical. Measurement,...
