Ease and accuracy of control

Ease and accuracy of control

By the use of simple levers, rotary controls and push buttons, the operator of a hydraulic system can easily start, stop, speed up and slow down

Multiplication of force

A fluid power system (without using cumbersome gears, pulleys and levers) can multiply forces simply and efficiently from a fraction of a kilogram to several tonnes of output

Multiplication of force
Constant force and torque

Constant force and torque

Only fluid power systems are capable of providing a constant torque or force regardless of speed changes

Simple, safe and economical

In general, hydraulic systems use fewer moving parts in comparison with mechanical and electrical systems. Thus they become simpler and easier to maintain

Simple, safe and economical
In house valve design and manufacture

In house valve design and manufacture

Kersten design their own hydraulic systems to carry out intended tasks precisely. They then manufacture the valves to operate accordingly and fit in to the space available. It is not necessary to design the machine around industry standard parts.

Integrate electronic controls with hydraulics

Hydraulics may be fingertip controlled directly or remotely using electronic integration.
