Floating Cup design    

To optimise the performance of the hydraulic transformer and decrease the costs, a new axial piston principle was developed: the so called Floating Cup design, which consists of a balanced (mirrored) construction with a high number of pistons. The costs of parts are low compared to conventional bent axis or in line units, due to other (mass) production technologies. Also the technical design goals: low torque and flow variations, high power density, high efficiency, and a robust, durable and reliable construction were reached. The Floating Cup design is also applicable for motors and pumps.
