Professor

Controlling motions with fluid power with focus in hydraulic pump and motor

I do research in hydraulic systems with a focus on hydraulic displacement machines. The projects focus on electrically driven hydraulics and how hydraulic systems and components are changed to create an integrated sustainable system.

Research

Fluid power system

Fluid Power

LiU has the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. We aim to develop smarter and more energy efficient hydraulic systems, components and methods to reduce energy losses.

Research projects

Volvo CE excavator

Ehydraulics

The aim of the project is to promote the electrification of working machines. Neither the hydraulic systems nor the pumps are currently optimised for use with an electrical primary source of energy.

News

Research is needed when electricity replaces diesel

Did you think that all it takes is changing an excavator’s diesel engine for an electric one? Well, it’s not that simple. The hydraulics can actually be adapted to the many advantages of the electric engine.

Fossil-free applies also to heavy mobile working machines. Liselott Ericson, Flumes, has received SEK 11.6 million to collaborate with industry in developing technology that uses a hydraulic pump in electrically operated working vehicles.
