	Hydraulic systems design services offered by SwRI include conceptual component design, computer-aided design, and circuit design.

Hydraulic fluid power systems produce unparalleled levels of power with tremendous flexibility and minimal size and weight requirements. Since 1947, Southwest Research Institute has helped industry and government develop specialty hydraulic systems, while identifying and resolving pneumatic and hydraulic fluid power problems.

Developing Hydraulic Systems

As a multidisciplinary research and development organization, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is uniquely qualified to aid clients in developing specialty hydraulic systems and components while identifying and resolving pneumatic and hydraulic fluid power problems.

During the initial development or improvement of hydraulic systems, engineers refine existing designs and develop innovative solutions to problems. Using commercial and SwRI-developed software, engineers perform the following:

• Three-dimensional (3D) solid modeling

• Structural analysis

• Performance simulation for hydraulic components and systems:

  • Pumps and motors

  • Valves

  • Accumulators

  • Actuators

  • Integrated systems

ISO Certification

The Engine, Emissions and Vehicle Research Division has achieved certification to ISO 9001, ensuring compliance with stringent quality control procedures in design, development, and testing.
