Figure 1: Electrohydraulic Thrusters according to DIN 15 430 in principle.

Electro hydraulic thrusters are compact closed systems, consisting of an electric motor and a hydraulic
unit. In the switched-on state the electric motor in the lower part of the housing drives the impeller wheel
of the hydraulic unit lying above. The produced hydraulic pressure delivers the working fluid under the
piston that pushes the piston rod to the stroke end. In the switched-off state or by power cut the pump
stops operating, the oil pressure falls very quickly and the piston rod returns to its start position.

A fast return of the piston rod can be reached when inserting a re-setting spring (similar to a brake spring)
internally or against an external load or using a fast switching when normal piston lowering time is too
long.

The hydraulic unit is in a closed housing together with the tank. The oil can be checked and refilled from an
external oil filler inlet. The thrusters are supplied ready for assembling, colour coated and filled with oil. They
have to be fixed with bolts in the bores of the lug and of the piston rod head.

The piston stroke is either determined by a limit stop positioned within the thruster housing or outside of the
unit.

Application of Thrustors

o as brake lifter to release and apply to all types of brakes, for example on cranes, conveyors,
excavators, roller adjusting devices, stranding machines and transport systems,

o to operate pressure rollers, blocking devices and distributions guides on rolling mill trains, etc.

o to connect mechanical couplings,

o for valve and flap controls, etc.

Characteristics of RBL-Thrustors

o lifting forces from 230 to 6300 N.

o piston strokes of 50 mm and 60 mm for standard units, longer strokes up to 300 mm on demand

o short piston stroke and short lowering times

o robust construction, therefore particularly suitable for heavy duty and rough operation

o optional motor rotation direction because the impeller pump delivers oil in each direction

o designed for continuous operation (100% on-time) and high switching rate

o no excessive load of the electric motor in case of overload and stroke limitation

o not sensitive to voltage fluctuations

o all units can be supplied with protection class IP 65 and tropicalized. Units meeting the
requirements of protection class IP 56 are available on request

o piston descend and lifting time are adjustable by mounting a descend or ascend (lifting) control valve

o additional adjusting or brakeing springs can be fitted to all units

o with a normal oil filling the thrusters can be operated at ambient temperatures from –25° C to
+ 60° C. With a special oil filling and a heater down to –30° C

o additional damping springs are necessary on all units used for adjustable brake controls
(e.g. when the lifting motor speed is to be reduced to approx. 20% of the rated speed)

o every unit can be installed vertically, in-between or horizontally and is largely maintenance-free

Electrical Equipment
Motor: Two-pole, three-phase, cage motors are fitted in all thrusters. The insulation
class of all motors supplied is F - VDE 0530 – the temperature limit of the motor
is therefore 150° C.
Protection class DIN 40050: IP 65 acc. to EN60529, DIN VDE 0470 T1. Standard thrusters are suitable for
use in the tropics.
Voltage/Frequency: The standard thruster is designed for three-phase current 230/400 Volt, 50 Hz or
for 500 Volt, 50 Hz. Units for all other three-phase voltages and frequencies are
also available. Nine pole, special design terminal boards can be supplied too. All
motor terminal boxes are fitted with an IPON M25x1.5 watertight cable entry.
Operating mode: All thrusters are approved for 100% on-time operation (hydraulic operating mode
S1 – VDE 0530) at ambient temperatures of up to 50°C.
Switching rate: All thrusters are designed for up to 2000 switching operations per hour under
normal conditions.
Rapid lowering circuit: If the normal piston descend (lowering) time is insufficient, it can be reduced by
three capacitors in parallel circuit. Using this capacitor arrangement the slow
down time of the electric motor is reduced with switch-off and so the oil pressure
decreases rapidly. In this case, the thruster must be controlled by a separate
relay.
Limit switch: All thrusters can be delivered with limit switches on request.

All technical data are mean values related to +20°C operating temperature of thrustor.
1) Values at end position of piston still achieved at ambient temperature between -25°C and +50°C and a voltage drop up to
5%.
2) Values of braking force apply to 1/3 of the related stroke.
3) Values at retracted piston rod. During lifting operation the specified values will increase. At –25°C operating temperature the
current consumption is approx. 1,5 times higher than the consumption at +20°C.
