Hydraulic / Mechanical Lifting Equipment

Hydraulic mechanical lifting equipment can be classified as the main category for all equipment used to ensure the vertical displacement of all gates, valves, Trash Rake Machines, and cranes found in HPPs and dam structures. As SETA ÇELİK, we are pleased to offer you unlimited service from design to installation in the field of hydraulic mechanical lifting equipment, leveraging our experience accumulated over the years through manufacturing and field installation.

Classification of Hydraulic Mechanical Lifting Equipment

Hydraulic mechanical lifting equipment can generally be examined in two separate classes: hydraulic and mechanical. When it comes to hydraulic lifting equipment, it refers to the vertical movement of equipment such as gates, valves, and Trash Rake Machines with the support of a fluid (oil) in the system. With a hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic unit placed on the equipment, the fluid in the system is displaced in accordance with the position provided by the operator, enabling the opening or closing of equipment like gates, valves, and Trash Rake Machines. Of course, this movement is provided by electric power from the control panel. The control panel features buttons that allow local control of the system, but the most important feature of hydraulic mechanical lifting equipment is that it can be managed from the power plant building with remote control via SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system and PLC control. This method allows the system to be directed without the need for the operator to go to the equipment – a situation that poses great difficulties due to the physical requirements of directing the operator in both hot and cold environmental and seasonal conditions and also causes time loss during the transfer of the operator to the area, preventing timely intervention.

Looking at the disadvantages of hydraulic mechanical lifting equipment, the high initial installation cost stands out, but in systems where periodic maintenance, inspections, and checks are carried out regularly and healthily, the planned maintenance costs will be minimized, making it a system that will always be preferred in the long run.

When it comes to mechanical lifting equipment, it refers to the vertical movement of equipment such as gates, valves, and Trash Rake Machines with the support of an electric motor in the system. In mechanical lifting equipment, which stands out with its low initial investment cost, the existence of an electric control panel, electric motor, and gearbox, along with a vertical lifting shaft that is at a 90° angle to the worm gear in the gearbox, comes to mind. The hydraulic oil that provides system fluidity within the gearbox is of vital importance, and it is essential to perform periodic control, maintenance, and replacement of this oil. Hydraulic oil that has reached the end of its service life loses its properties and can no longer perform its function, making it necessary to visually inspect the oil at specified intervals, drain the old oil, and use new oil. The mistake of using degraded oil, if combined with other potential parameters, could lead to the system failing and requiring disassembly for correction under factory conditions or even the addition of new equipment to the system.
