- Abstract
Increasing the efficiency of hydraulic drive systems (HDSs) maintenance activities is a permanent concern at the global level as a result of the considerable expansion of their field of applicability. The maintenance of HDSs is part of the integrated management concept and it is a complex approach to specific activities in order to maintain HDSs performance. The development of additive manufacturing methods applicable for hydraulic components based on the principle of reverse engineering gives stability to functional characteristics and reliability in the context of the circular economy. The application of reliability-based maintenance (RBM) strategies requires the detection and exploitation of the maximum potential of HDSs operation. Through the 3D printing technology, which enables innovative performance and flexibility in ondemand production, there is the opportunity to remanufacture hydraulic components with complex geometry and specific characteristics. At the end of the article, examples of the application of additive manufacturing technologies and the adaptation of the reverse engineering principle in the field of hydraulic drive systems are presented.
