Can be ‘messy’; LEAKAGENot as much of an issue as it used to be
Hydraulic oil is not exactly environmentally friendly; must be replaced; can also be flammable
Control of these inherently nonlinear systems can be challenging

Pressure Relief ValvesPressure Relief Valves
Found in all hydraulic circuitsNormally closedCan be pilot operated (i.e. Spool is
biased by both spring and fluid pressure…less override)
Provides protection against exceeding system pressure rating which can damage components

ConclusionsConclusions
Hydraulic systems offer versatility and high power density as compared to other types of power transmission
Relatively small number of components; pumps, valves, actuators…that’s basically it!
EVPS has relatively simple hydraulic setup similar to that of an actual piece of earthmoving machinery
