The developed assembly is a Water Controlled Pump Assembly (WCPA) consisting of a hydraulic pump with its mechanical (bearings, seals) and hydraulic fittings. This pump is driven with a brush-less DC motor and its Electronic Control Unit. The manufactured pump package has been made according to ESA specifications. The optimal combination of hydraulic and electro-mechanic is the key of the high overall efficiency: more than 30%.
