HCU Series for Creep Drive System Applications

The AKG Cool-Line HCU Series is engineered for creep drive hydraulic systems, delivering high-performance offline cooling for low-speed, high-torque applications in rugged environments. As a global leader in aluminum cooling systems, AKG offers German-engineered reliability with patented hydronucleation technology for de-aeration. This compact unit is optimized for creep drive systems, ensuring fluid integrity and system efficiency at competitive pricing through our exclusive distribution network.

The HCU Series features a DC or hydraulic-motor-driven fan, non-louvered low-fouling fins, and robust construction for optimal heat rejection in creep drive operations. With heat rejection up to 18 HP at 80°F ETD, it minimizes noise and vibration while supporting precise control in demanding tasks.

Designed for flexibility and easy installation, the HCU Series includes optimized plumbing to reduce leak points, dual internal bypasses, and vibration testing to military standards (MIL-STD 810). Constructed with stainless steel and aluminum with premium coating, it includes a sight level glass and a 10-micron filter (200-micron option available) to maintain fluid cleanliness critical for creep drive performance.

In creep drive systems, maintaining hydraulic precision and fluid integrity is essential. The HCU Series delivers advanced cooling to ensure reliability and performance in low-speed, high-torque applications.

Offline Cooling: Independent cooling for high-heat creep drive systems.

De-Aeration: Patented technology removes air from hydraulic fluid, preventing cavitation and oxidation.

Noise Reduction: 3M adhered foam reduces operational noise in creep drive environments.

Energy Efficiency: Efficient fan drives and heat rejection optimize power usage.

Filtration: Integrated filter with bypass ensures clean fluid circulation for precise control.

Rugged Design: Field-tested for creep drive equipment in harsh conditions.
