Hydraulic components and systems for defence and military technology

Schuhmacher Technologies: Your partner for mission-critical hydraulic systems

Military hydraulic systems are subject to extreme conditions: varying climatic zones, long periods of inactivity, high load cycles, dust, moisture and the need to be ready for action at all times. Whether in armoured vehicles, naval systems, stationary power plants or logistical facilities – the reliability of the hydraulics determines the availability of the entire system.
Schuhmacher Technologies & Hydraulics supplies precisely the components and systems that are essential in these situations. As a premium supplier of hydraulic components, we combine product expertise, an understanding of systems and many years’ experience in demanding applications – including within the defence sector.

Our areas of expertise in the defence sector

Depending on the specific application and maintenance strategy, four specialist areas of expertise are available:

Oil care

High-precision in-line filtration for mobile and stationary systems – for a lasting improvement in oil purity class without the need for system intervention. Stationary and mobile solutions, including portable service units for field use.

Condition Monitoring

Optical particle counters, oil condition sensors and mobile oil analysis units for the continuous or periodic monitoring of critical fluid parameters – either directly on the system or in the field. Suitable for both mobile combat vehicles and stationary systems designed for continuous operation.

Hydraulic valves

The full range: on/off valves, proportional valves, cartridge valves, flow control valves, pressure regulators, directional control valves and check valves – designed for high-pressure applications, vibration resistance and compatibility with military standards.

Hydraulic control blocks

Bespoke valve blocks made from steel or aluminium, fully fitted and ready for installation. Designed and manufactured to customer specifications – taking into account pressure ranges, redundancy concepts, vibration and shock loads, as well as military standard requirements.

Electronic control modules for test benches

WEST Elektronik’s electronic control modules are synonymous with precision control technology in modern test benches and demanding hydraulic applications. They enable reliable control and precise regulation of pressure, force and motion, thereby ensuring stable processes, reproducible test results and the highest level of operational reliability.
