Characteristics    

Characteristic for the floating cup technology are the low friction of the principle leading to a high efficiency and low starting torque. The pulsations are low, especially due to the high number of pistons. Noise emissions are low due to low pulsations and the balanced construction. Furthermore the floating cup can be produced at low costs. The power density of the slipper type, bent axis and Floating Cup machine are comparable.

Measurements by the Institut fur Fluid-technische Antriebe und Steuerungen of the University of Aachen (IFAS) on the latest prototypes prove the high efficiency and low torque loss of the Floating Cup concept.
