At Agritechnica 2025, Bosch Rexroth and its subsidiary HydraForce will showcase their range of modular, compact hydraulic solutions designed to help agricultural machinery manufacturers respond to the growing complexity and diversity of the market. By combining the strengths of their complementary product portfolios, both companies now offer a unique opportunity to design hybrid architectures that seamlessly integrate hydraulic, electro-hydraulic and electronic components, aligned with specific application needs and product strategies.
This integrated approach enables OEMs to progressively define their system complexity, ranging from robust, simple layouts to intelligent, fully connected architectures. Flexibility becomes not just a technical advantage, but a strategic asset for developing scalable machine platforms, capable of adapting to different regional requirements, automation levels and digitalization strategies.
EDG-OBE compact directional valve: Compact precision with integrated electronics — The EDG-OBE compact directional valve from Bosch Rexroth is an advanced solution designed for tight spaces and high-precision applications, including harvesters and agricultural implements. With integrated onboard electronics, the EDG-OBE offers precise spool control, simplified wiring and plug-and-play functionality, making it an ideal choice for OEMs looking to combine performance and safety in a compact package.
EDH-OBE compact directional valve: Advanced configurability and high-performance flow — The EDH-OBE compact directional valve offers high flow capacity and a wide range of configuration options, making it best for complex machinery like self-propelled agricultural working machines and advanced implements. OEMs can tailor the system with anti-shock and anti-cavitation valves, manual actuation, local pressure control, LSA/LSB options and more. Built-in electronics enable closed-loop control, with PID tuning and CAN bus compatibility for applications requiring responsiveness, stability and precise control.
TS90-G34L valve for Modern Drivetrains — HydraForce’s patented TS90-G34L pilot-operated proportional pressure reducing/relieving valve brings a new level of efficiency to powershift transmissions with multiple clutches. By reducing pilot flow by up to 75% compared to conventional designs, the valve enables smaller pumps, lowers energy consumption and cuts operational costs. Thanks to its two-stage operation, the TS90-G34L delivers smoother gear shifting and more precise control over pressure and flow, with improved damping and reduced sensitivity to temperature or viscosity variations. Its low-leakage design minimizes energy consumption, offering a tangible optimization of the system. Over time, the impact is significant: annual energy savings per valve can reach 90%, dramatically reducing both fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Scaled across multiple valves and transmissions, this helps OEMs develop more efficient, cost-effective drivetrain architectures for the machines of tomorrow.
HF-Impulse 2.0 software development and configuration tool: Simplified development, fast configuration — HydraForce’s software development and configuration tool for ExDR controllers, complements the hardware offer with a powerful and intuitive software platform. The tool supports both graphical and text-based programming, enabling complex control logic with simplified coding. It simplifies work for developers and application engineers alike, reducing time to validation and accelerating series production.
Together, Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce are redefining compact hydraulics with a portfolio that is modular, compatible and future-ready. All components are designed to work together seamlessly, offering OEMs a scalable solution for every machine category — from basic functionality to next-generation automation — while reducing development time and system complexity.
