Energy Recovery
Rexroth 4EE – Rexroth for Energy Efficiency

Energy Recovery

Energy is too valuable to waste. Using hybrid drive Hydrostatic Regenerative Braking System HRB, accumulator charging circuits, or electric or kinetic buffering, you can put the valuable surpluses of energy to productive use in your industrial or mobile applications. Highly efficient servo drive controllers allow you to recover braking energy, for example. Energy can be buffered, directed to different axes or fed back into the grid.

Benefit from our expertise. Rexroth has considerably influenced and advanced the development of solutions for exchanging oscillating process energies – within and between the different drive technologies.

See all four levers for greater energy efficiency in the overview.

Practical examples are provided here.

Supply equipment with feedback capability

The strictly modular design of our IndraDrive drive controllers makes it easier to recover brake energy. They decide whether they buffer energy, supply it to other axes or feed it into the network.

Accumulator loading circuits (hydraulic accumulators)

Use the high power density of hydraulics: Hydraulic accumulators improve the energy efficiency of hydraulics at very little cost.
