Co-inventor of the family of Digital Displacement® Hydraulic machines.
These are intelligent hydraulic pumps and motors which span the power range from a few kW to
multiple MW. Whilst they retain the robustness and high-power density of conventional hydraulic
machines, they provide much greater controllability and a jump in efficiency. These
characteristics improve hydraulic performance in well-known applications such as construction
and agricultural equipment but also allow hydraulics to penetrate new market areas such as
vehicle transmissions and renewable energy equipment - where they can replace gearboxes. Win Rampen has also been instrumental in exploiting the commercial application of this technology
as replacement gear boxes for cars, earth movers and wind turbines, where Artemis’
technology has the potential to enable lightweight, controllable and robust power transfer
systems which could make turbines cheaper to build and maintain.|
