Energy density:

210 bar (Industry standard)
500 bar

Advantages

  • High power density
  • Good controllability
  • Good timing behaviour due to low inertia
  • Simple and reliable protection against overload
  • Good energy transmition over medium distances
  • Good lubrication and dissipation of the heat loss through the pressure transmission medium

Disadvantages

  • High energy consumption
  • High weight of drive and control elements
  • Losses from friction and internal leakage
  • Sensitive to dirt
  • Fire hazard
