Comparing hydraulic and electromechanical drives by electric motor's power

Abstract

The authors have made the analysis of energy consumption by positive-displacement hydraulic drive and asynchronous motor with phase rotor in the course of crane mechanisms operation at all stages of motion: acceleration, movement at nominal or intermediate speed, and deceleration. There have been determined and compared equivalent capacities per work cycle for electric and hydraulic drives of crane mechanisms depending on operating conditions group and operation time. There has been justified the decrease of rated capacity of electric motor of crane mechanisms’ hydraulic drive as compared with the case of applying asynchronous motor with phased rotor for the same mechanisms.
