10K PSI Power Team Pumps with PLC Maintain Consistent Tension for Transformer Manufacturing

Overview

Industrial coil winding and transformer manufacturing applications require stable, consistent tension over extended operating periods. A constant pressure hydraulic pump station ensures uniform tension on the coil shaft, supporting product quality and process stability. 

The Challenge

The manufacturer struggled to maintain consistent tension over extended operating cycles using a conventional hydraulic pump. Frequent operator intervention affected product consistency and safety. 

Solution Presented

Hydraulic Technologies supplied an automated hydraulic pump system featuring a custom PLC-controlled station, three Power Team 60233E pumps, and two 200-ton double-acting cylinders. 

Results

The PLC-controlled system maintained stable hydraulic pressure to ensure continuous, uniform coil tension throughout extended production runs.
 
The constant pressure system now delivers reliable, stable tensioning during long operating hours, supporting consistent coil winding quality, reducing operator adjustments, and improving overall process reliability.

Other Applications

Constant pressure hydraulic systems are suitable for coil winding, transformer manufacturing, long-duration tensioning operations, and industrial processes requiring stable hydraulic force output.
