The HYDAC Advantage: Total System Solutions
HYDAC is a global leader not only in individual components, but also in comprehensive system thinking. Their products are designed to work together to protect, monitor, and optimise your entire fluid power circuit. As your official partner, we supply and support the full, integrated portfolio.

Our HYDAC Product & Service Portfolio
We provide expert technical support and supply for all HYDAC product categories.
1. Advanced Filtration & Fluid Care
The heart of any reliable hydraulic system is clean fluid. HYDAC is the industry benchmark for filtration. We help you protect your investment, reduce component wear, and extend your oil life.
- Hydraulic & Lubrication Filters: Complete range of pressure filters, return line filters, spin-on filters, and offline filtration units.
- Genuine Filter Elements: We stock genuine Betamicron® and Dimicron® high-performance filter elements to guarantee cleanliness and performance.
- Process Filtration: Including automatic back-flushing filters (AutoFilt®) for process water, coolant, and industrial fluids.
- Fluid Care Systems: Proactive fluid maintenance with offline filtration trolleys, dewatering systems (e.g., FAM – Fluid Aqua Mobil), and varnish elimination units (VEU).
2. Hydraulic Accumulators & Storage
For energy storage, shock absorption, pulsation dampening, and emergency power, HYDAC accumulators are the industry standard for safety and reliability.
- Bladder Accumulators: The most versatile type for a huge range of general-purpose applications.
- Piston Accumulators: Ideal for high-volume, high-pressure, and high-frequency applications.
- Diaphragm Accumulators: Compact, low-maintenance units for mobile machinery and smaller systems.
- Accumulator Stations & Safety: We supply complete pre-charged stations, accumulator safety blocks (SB series), and all necessary testing equipment (e.g., FPU-1).
3. Electronics, Sensors & Condition Monitoring
The “brains” of your system. We use HYDAC’s advanced electronic solutions to help you monitor, measure, and react to system conditions in real-time. This is the key to predictive maintenance.
- Pressure Sensors: Robust transmitters (e.g., HDA series) for all pressure ranges and applications.
- Fluid Condition Monitoring: The AquaSensor (AS) for real-time water saturation monitoring and the Contamination Sensor (CS) for live particle counting (ISO 4406).
- Temperature & Level Sensors: Critical for monitoring reservoir and system health.
- Displays & Data Recorders: Handheld data recorders (e.g., HMG 4000) for diagnostics and permanently installed displays for machine operators.
4. Control Technology, Valves & Manifolds
For precise, reliable control over your machinery’s power, speed, and movement.
- Directional, Pressure & Flow Valves: A complete range of poppet, spool, and CETOP cartridge valves.
- Proportional Valves: For sophisticated, electronically-managed control over speed and force.
- Manifold & Block Systems: We can help design and supply custom-drilled manifold blocks for compact, leak-free, and efficient system layouts.
- High-Pressure Ball Valves: For reliable manual or actuated system shut-off.
5. System Components, Coolers & Accessories
We provide all the supporting components to build and maintain your entire hydraulic system.
- Pumps: Fixed and variable displacement axial piston pumps, external/internal gear pumps.
- Cooling Systems: Efficient oil/air coolers (OK-EL series) and oil/water plate heat exchangers (PWT) to prevent overheating and maintain optimal fluid viscosity.
- Accessories: Bell housings, couplings, pipe clamps, tank breathers, and everything else needed for a professional system build.
