Poclain HEVO-Booster Innovation Halves Actuator Size

Can hydraulic actuator performance be reimagined? Hydraulic actuators are often seen as mature components in vehicle architecture reliable and subject to minor innovative developments.

Poclain’s engineering team challenged this perception by rethinking how hydraulic functions operate. The result: a new pressure amplification concept known as the HEVO-BOOSTER.

Same power, less fluid in motion

The HEVO-BOOSTER can be deployed across various applications with one core idea: same power, less fluid in motion. Positioned upstream of the actuator, it supplies an intermittent boost in pressure when the actuator needs it, relieving the pump from working at extra high pressure. The actuator can be downsized and will work with less flow and at a higher average pressure when no peak torque is needed, while the HEVO BOOSTER generates no drag in idle mode.

Based on the proven cam lobe technology, the HEVO-BOOSTER is a stand-alone component that enables to downsize the circuit components up to 50%, simplify the hydraulic architecture, and lower energy consumption. The HEVO-BOOSTER reflects Poclain’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of conventional hydraulic design. It’s a technological building block that invites OEMs and system designers to rethink how and when the peak performance is delivered.
