HYDAC continues to develop innovative cooling systems for mobile hydraulics. The new AC-M 1–6 series with DC motor is specifically designed for applications where compact design, high cooling capacity, and easy installation are crucial.
In this article, we go through the features, benefits, and applications of this advanced air cooler.
What is HYDAC AC-M 1–6?
HYDAC AC-M 1–6 is a series of air-cooled oil coolers for mobile applications, equipped with an efficient DC-driven axial fan. The product is designed to deliver optimal cooling in demanding environments such as construction machinery and agricultural equipment.
Key features and benefits
1. High cooling performance in a compact design
The AC-M series combines powerful cooling capacity with a compact design. Thanks to CFD-optimized design, airflow is improved and cooling becomes more efficient.
2. Adaptable to different environments
You can choose between two fin types:
- PC (Panel Cut) – for maximum cooling performance
- HB (Herringbone) – for dusty environments with reduced clogging
3. Robust construction
- Plastic housing with improved corrosion protection
- Bar-and-plate heat exchanger
- Protection class up to IP68
This makes the product highly durable even in harsh working environments.
4. Flexible installation
The modular design enables:
- Easy installation
- Multiple bypass options (pressure- or thermostatically controlled)
- Adaptation to different machine types
Technical specifications (overview)
- Operating voltage: 12V / 24V DC
- Max working pressure: 16 bar
- Temperature range:
- Ambient: -20°C to +40°C
- Medium: up to 120°C

It is also suitable for cooling electronics and other components where temperature control is critical.
Why is efficient cooling important?
In hydraulic systems, energy is converted into heat, which can affect both performance and lifespan. Efficient cooling:
- Prevents overheating
- Extends component lifespan
- Reduces operating costs
- Increases system reliability
Advantages of DC motors in mobile cooling systems
A DC motor offers several advantages compared to traditional solutions:
- Lower energy consumption
- Better control of fan speed
- Load-based adaptation
- Suitable for battery-powered machines
Summary
HYDAC AC-M 1–6 is a modern solution for mobile cooling where performance, flexibility, and durability are key. With its robust construction and adaptable design, it is an excellent choice for companies looking to optimize their hydraulic systems.
