The main components (see example illustration) of a LUKAS hydraulic unit are:

Functional description5.

5.1 General

CAUTION!

Where multiple implements are operated with the same hydraulic unit, it must be

ensured that the usable volume of hydraulic uid in the uid reservoir is greater

than the maximum possible operating uid volume required for all connected

implements combined.

If no external control unit (e.g. control desk) is to be connected, it is possible to order a LUKAS

hydraulic unit with the valves or valve blocks directly attached.

If you are considering these optional valves or valve blocks, you should consult your

authorised LUKAS dealer or LUKAS directly before you combine your rerailing equipment

components. Only then can you be sure that the individual, combinable LUKAS components

(unit, implements, etc.) of your system arrangement will continue to function correctly, and

that risks to persons and equipment are eliminated.

Operation without an attached or external control unit is NOT

permitted.

1 Fluid reservoir

2 Motor

3 Pump

4 Frame

5 Connecting block

As a general principle on all LUKAS hydraulic units, a hydraulic pump is operated with a

motor (combustion engine or electric motor) that feeds the uid from the reservoir and builds

up the pressure. The uid distribution is then controlled by valves directly attached to the

equipment or by external control units (e.g. control desks).

The mounted frame serves as a simple protective cage and as a mounting base for

accessories that can be tted. The hydraulic unit can also be carried by the frame or using

carrying handles mounted on it.
