Hydraulic VVVF

Bucher Hydraulics have developed the hydraulic VF which utilises the elevator valve with integral flow measuring system used in frequency – controlled hydraulic drives. Based on the original LRV-1, combined with a frequency convertor acting directly on the motor / pump unit, it offers highest travel comfort, optimum heat dissipation and reduced noise emission.

VF – LRV technology is available only in combination with the power units of the Bucher Economy Line (Saturn ALPHA and Orion ALPHA) Lester Controls can incorporate this equipment into their controllers as it is all free issued by Bucher hydraulics.

The Controller below shows an MRL controller using this Hydraulic package. The Inverter is mounted externally by the Customer and would be protected accordingly.
