What Is a Servo-Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine?

 

A Servo-Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine combines hydraulic clamping force with an electric servo motor drive system. Unlike conventional fixed-pump machinery that runs continuously at full motor speed, a servo-hydraulic system utilizes a high-response permanent magnet AC motor coupled with an internal gear pump. The drive adjusts rotational speed in real time matching exact pressure and flow requirements during each cycle phase. Motor speed drops near zero during holding and cooling periods, lowering electrical power demand while reducing oil friction heat. Lower running temperatures slow down seal wear and maintain hydraulic oil viscosity, sustaining mechanical repeatability within ±0.1 mm over extended operations.

Why Choose a Servo-Hydraulic Machine for General-Purpose Molding?

Reduced Power Consumption: Matches motor output directly to instantaneous hydraulic load, cutting kilowatt-hour usage per kilogram of molded resin.


Lower Oil Heat Generation: Reduced fluid turbulence lowers oil chiller loads and keeps reservoir oil temperatures stable below 45°C.


High Cycle Repeatability: Closed-loop encoder feedback regulates pressure and speed to control part weight and dimensions.


Extended Seal and Fluid Lifespan: Stable operating temperatures prevent hydraulic oil oxidation and thermal hardening of internal seals.


Low Noise Levels: Operational sound remains under 75 dB during full-pressure clamping and drops further during cooling phases.

How to Select the Right Servo-Hydraulic Machine

Calculate Clamping Force

Measure the total projected area of the part and runner, then multiply by resin cavity pressure requirements.

Determine Shot Size

Select a screw diameter where the combined part and runner weight occupies 20% to 80% of maximum injection volume.

Check Platen Clearance

Verify mold dimensions against horizontal and vertical tie bar spacing, ensuring sufficient opening stroke for part clearance.

Evaluate Plasticizing Capacity

Match screw rotation speed and torque ratings to resin melt requirements to prevent cycle slowdowns during cooling.

FAQ

 

Q: What causes energy savings in a servo-hydraulic system?

A: Power savings stem from motor speed regulation. Standard motors run continuously at set RPMs, whereas servo motors lower rotational speed during cooling and holding cycles when flow demand drops.

Q: What maintenance routine keeps the servo-hydraulic system operating correctly?

A: Routine maintenance involves checking hydraulic fluid cleanliness, replacing return filters according to operating hours, keeping heat exchangers clean, and monitoring motor fan vents.

Q: Can engineering plastics with glass fiber additives be processed?

A: Yes. Bimetallic screws and hardened barrels are installed to withstand abrasive wear caused by glass fibers or flame-retardant additives.

Q: How is hydraulic oil temperature maintained within normal ranges?

A: Because oil is not continuously pumped through relief valves at high speeds, fluid shear is reduced. Standard water-cooled heat exchangers keep oil temperatures between 35°C and 45°C.

Q: Are hydraulic seals and electrical components standardized?

A: Machine designs utilize metric ISO thread standards, standard valve mounting patterns, and common electrical control interfaces to allow direct component sourcing.
