Bucher Hydraulics

Bucher Hydraulics is a leading Swiss manufacturer of hydraulic components and systems, specializing in gear pumps, hydraulic motors, directional control valves, and electrohydraulic control systems. The company, part of the Bucher Industries group and headquartered in Klettgau, Germany, delivers hydraulic solutions for mobile vehicles, industrial machines, and specialized lifting installations. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 767 Bucher Hydraulics products are available.

Bucher Hydraulics is internationally renowned for its gear pumps and gear motors from the QX series and PGF series. These pumps offer exceptionally low weight, quiet operation, and high volumetric efficiency, and are available in displacement volumes from 0.3 cm3/revolution to more than 100 cm3/revolution. The QX series internal gear pumps are particularly popular in industrial lifting applications, machine tools, and hydraulic power units due to their low noise level.

For electrohydraulic control, Bucher Hydraulics delivers the LUDV series proportional directional valves and NV series proportional valves. These valves are equipped with integrated electronic pressure compensation and can be controlled via CAN-bus, Profibus, or analog input signals. They are used in crane hydraulics, mobile work platforms, and forklifts where precise flow management is required.

Bucher Hydraulics lift systems, such as the VY series hydraulic aggregates for lifts and hoisting installations, are market leaders in hydraulic elevator drives. These integrated units combine a gear pump, pressure relief valve, flow control valve, and pressure vessel in one compact unit for direct mounting in elevator shafts. The CE-certified units comply with EN 81-2 lift standard for hydraulic elevators.

At Verkopershulp.nl, you will find the complete Bucher Hydraulics range for direct delivery. Our technical team advises you on the right component selection for your mobile or industrial hydraulic application.

Bucher Hydraulics also has a strong position in the forklift and work platform hydraulics market. The LUDV series proportional valves are specifically optimized for energy-efficient mobile applications, where the load-independent pressure distribution ensures all functions are operated uniformly regardless of load. This significantly improves accuracy and reduces fuel consumption in lifting vehicles and cranes.

The Bucher Hydraulics service division offers extensive technical support for overhauls, system design, and pump calibration. With customer-specific hydraulic power units (HPU) in powers from 0.5 kW to more than 100 kW, designed for installation in lift systems, machine tools, and process installations, Bucher distinguishes itself as a system integrator going beyond merely a component supplier. Our technical team at Verkopershulp.nl has extensive knowledge of the Bucher Hydraulics portfolio and advises you on replacement, upgrades, and system optimization.

History

Bucher Hydraulics has its origins in the Bucher Industries Group, founded in 1807 in Niederweningen, Switzerland. The hydraulics division grew in the second half of the twentieth century into an independent entity specializing in hydraulic components for industrial and mobile applications. In the 1970s and 1980s, Bucher Hydraulics developed its reputation in hydraulic elevator drives, a market it continues to dominate in Europe. The acquisition of Bosch Rexroth's gear pump division in 2012 significantly strengthened its position. Today, Bucher Hydraulics has production facilities in Germany, Italy, China, and the USA and delivers its products worldwide. Bucher Hydraulics strengthened its market position through the acquisition of the gear pump division from Bosch Rexroth in 2012, consolidating its position as market leader in internal gear pumps in Europe. Production facilities in Klettgau (Germany), Neuheim (Switzerland), Italy, and China enable the company to produce locally for regional markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Bucher Hydraulics QX gear pumps unique?
Bucher Hydraulics QX internal gear pumps stand out for their exceptionally low noise level (up to 60 dB(A) at 1500 rpm), high volumetric efficiency through precise gear tolerances, and compact design. They are ideal for industrial applications where noise control and long service life are priorities.
Are Bucher Hydraulics elevator aggregates CE-certified?
Yes, all Bucher Hydraulics VY series elevator aggregates are CE-certified in accordance with EN 81-2 (the European standard for hydraulic lifts) and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. They are tested and certified by recognized inspection bodies for use in new hydraulic elevator installations and renovation projects.
What communication interfaces do Bucher Hydraulics proportional valves support?
Bucher Hydraulics LUDV proportional valves support CAN-bus (CANopen), Profibus DP, and analog control signals (4-20 mA, 0-10 V). Optional communication modules are available for integration into modern PLC systems.
Are Bucher Hydraulics gear pumps available for use with biodegradable hydraulic oils?
Yes, Bucher Hydraulics QX and PGF gear pumps are available with special seals (FKM) for compatibility with biodegradable hydraulic oils (HEES synthetic, HETG vegetable) in accordance with ISO 15380. This is relevant for environmentally sensitive applications in water areas or forested environments.
How quickly are Bucher Hydraulics products delivered through Verkopershulp.nl?
Common Bucher Hydraulics pumps and valves in stock are shipped the same business day. Delivery in the Netherlands is typically within 1-2 business days. Less common models or elevator aggregates are typically delivered within 3-8 business days.
Are Bucher Hydraulics gear pumps interchangeable with pumps from other manufacturers?
Bucher Hydraulics pumps are available with SAE-A, SAE-B, and SAE-C mounting flanges and are therefore dimensionally interchangeable with pumps from other manufacturers following the same SAE standards. Our technical team helps you identify a suitable replacement based on your current pump specifications.
Does Bucher Hydraulics also offer complete hydraulic power units (HPU)?
Yes, Bucher Hydraulics delivers complete hydraulic power units, including oil tank, pump, electric motor, pressure relief valve, oil cooler, and filter. These ready-to-install units are available in powers from 0.5 kW to more than 100 kW and are easy to integrate into existing hydraulic systems.
Are spare parts available for Bucher Hydraulics elevator aggregates?
Yes, we supply complete service kits, seals, filters, control valves, and electric motors as spare parts for Bucher Hydraulics elevator aggregates. Timely preventive maintenance of your elevator aggregate extends service life and prevents failures that cause elevator downtime.
