Electro Hydraulic Thrusters

Electro-hydraulic thrusters made by EMG are predominantly employed in heavy lifting equipment and conveying equipment all over the world. In combination with modern drum and disk brakes they ensure safe and gentle braking.

The safety of people and machines alike during braking procedures as well as in emergency or power failure situations depend to these reliable units.
Continual innovative further development are characteristic for ELDRO® and ELHY® thrusters which have been produced for 60 years by EMG.

The advantages of ELHY brake thrusters are:

• Long useable life - up to 10 million switchings
• Valves and damping springs for smooth performance
• Digital switches and analogue sensors for status indication/brake monitoring
• Designed for frequency controlled operation
• Forces from 120N up to 6300N
• Strokes from 40mm up to 160mm
• Variable mounting position
• Reliable corrosion protection
• Explosion proof series
• Specification for frosty environment
• Specification for foundries and steel mills

Compact electro-hydraulic thrusters – 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
