Hydraulic Power Unit for Amusement Park Rides and Attractions

This CMH hydraulic power unit was engineered for the motion control of dynamic attractions, where the system must ensure reliability, continuous operation and thermal stability even during intensive cycles.

In the sector of amusement park rides and attractions, motion cannot be left to chance. Every movement must be controlled, repeatable and consistent with the work cycle defined for the machine.

This CMH hydraulic power unit was engineered for applications dedicated to the motion control of dynamic attractions, where the system must ensure reliability, continuous operation and thermal stability even during intensive cycles.

Amusement park attractions can combine lifting, rotation, tilting or swinging movements. In these cases hydraulics plays a central role: supplying energy to the movement, controlling the functions of the machine and keeping operating conditions constant during use.

One of the main features of this power unit is the presence of a heat exchanger. Cooling the oil helps keep the system temperature more stable, reducing thermal drift and supporting continuity of operation.

Designing a hydraulic power unit for an amusement park requires attention to several aspects: flow, pressure, work cycle, available space, maintenance access, connection to the machine and component reliability.

CMH develops custom hydraulic power units starting from the real function of the application. It is not only about generating power, but about creating a system able to accompany the movement of the machine in the correct way.

In the world of dynamic attractions, the hydraulic system becomes an essential part of the experience: it works behind the scenes, but it contributes to the controlled, continuous operation of the machine.

Designed, built and tested in Italy, this power unit is an example of hydraulics applied to a sector where movement, control and reliability must work together.
