Hydraulic System of a Radar Station with an Antenna Mast

A complete hydraulic system has been designed and manufactured for a mobile radar station, responsible for executing all core operational functions required to get the station ready for service. The system enables the opening and closing of the roof, vehicle levelling, raising and lowering of the mast together with the antenna, as well as locking and unlocking the antenna rotation mechanism.

The system consists of a hydraulic power unit with a valve manifold block and a set of hydraulic cylinders responsible for individual operational functions. Front and rear levelling cylinders are used to ensure stable levelling of the vehicle during operation, along with mast/antenna lifting cylinders and roof opening cylinders. The system is complemented by a locking pin cylinder and a rotary joint lock cylinder, which ensure the safe securing of the antenna mechanisms during transport and operation.

The scope of the project comprised the manufacture and installation of all hydraulic equipment, as well as the hydraulic and mechanical commissioning of the complete system. This approach ensures the reliable operation of all radar station mechanisms, alongside safe and efficient handling under operational conditions.
