They Specialize In Electro Hydraulics For Farming

Terzo Power Systems’ electric hydraulic components are ready for the coming explosion in electric vehicles in agriculture. The company’s electric hydraulic pumps, electric hydraulic power units, and electric hydraulic steering units are nearly ready to go, moving from prototype stage to commercial production in the 4th quarter this year.
“Our systems are designed for use by OEMs, as well as for retrofit when converting to electric or hydraulic components,” says Rich DiGirolamo, Terzo Power Systems. “Totally integrated systems like ours are very new to the market.”
Terzo will be offering electric hydraulic power units in an array of sizes including 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 10 and 30 kW. Applications are varied from large to small.
“We’re looking at all different kinds of vehicles from Class 5 on down, and high voltage to low voltage solutions,” says DiGirolamo. “Our goal is to offer an integrated solution.”
Terzo’s Hydrapulse steering unit is an example of such a solution. The electric hydraulic steering pump includes motor, controller and closed-loop feedback designed for mobile steering assist and e-steering applications. It is available with and without cooling reservoirs.
Integration of this nature is important in both hybrid and electrical equipment. Without its own motor and controller, there is no steering if the engine is shut down.
Terzo Power Systems expects initial hybridization and acceptance of electric hydraulics in agriculture to be in specialty crop equipment, such as tree shakers. Their constant stop-start as they move from tree to tree is well suited to hybrid equipment.
The 500 or more specialty equipment makers in California each make from 50 to 500 machines a year. These smaller OEMs are quick to adapt new technology, but less likely to develop components themselves.
DiGirolamo notes that as ag equipment automates, electro hydraulics will make it easier and smoother. In the meantime, he expects to see hybridization of ag equipment grow.
“As we move into commercial production, we have prototypes available for sale,” says Terzo. “In a few months we will have our commercial units ready to go.”
