A system incorporating hydraulic actuators governed by wireless operation allows for the management of fluid power from a distance. These self-contained units typically bundle a power unit, control valves, and receiver, facilitating the remote manipulation of hydraulic functions. An example could be activating a snowplow’s lifting mechanism without being in the vehicle’s cab.
The value of such systems lies in increased safety, operational flexibility, and efficiency. Remote activation enables operation from safe distances, preventing exposure to hazardous environments. The freedom from physical connections simplifies installation and broadens applications. Historically, these evolved from simple wired systems to sophisticated proportional control versions.
