stablished over 48 years ago in Dale-
side, Johannesburg, Dabeb-Elram spe-
cialises in the manufacture of electro-
hydraulic actuators that canbe found in
themajorityof SouthAfrica’s power stations and
refineries, as well as in major mining operations
around the world.
WiththeDEArange,allactuatorcomponents,
including the cylinder, motor, pump, pipework
and valves, are enclosed in a self-contained steel
casing.“Thiscreatesmanybenefitsforourclients,”
saysNathanPearce,executivedirectorofDabeb-
Engineering. “As these are sealed units, they are
protected from external contaminants and tam-
pering,whiletheirrobuststeelcasingsmakethem
ideal for the harshest operating environments.”
This ‘plug-and-play’ functionality also ef-
fectively reduces the requirement for client
commissioning time and, in addition, its compact
design enables a closer-mounting solution to al-
most any linear application. The DEA range also
features a pressure relief and flowcontrol valve
that enables versatile and flexible performance
in terms of speed and force.
All Dabeb-Elramelectro-hydraulic actuators
are manufactured at the company’s 1 500 m
2
facility on a case-by-case basis, according to
clients’ unique specifications. Dabeb-Elram
also offers full repair and refurbishment of its
electro-hydraulic actuators, no matter the age
or condition.
“As Dabeb-Elram is one of the country’s
leading suppliers of electro-hydraulic actuators,
whose sole focus is on the development, manu-
facture and supply of this particular product
range, our clients benefit from the highest qual-
ity product that is backed by nearly 50 years of
in-field application knowledge and experience,”
comments Hytec regional manager, Freddie
Kühn. “And as a true testament to the longevity
of both its brand and product, Dabeb-Elramhas
relied on the product’s self endorsement for the
past 48 years.”
Speaking on the decision to partner with the
HytecGroup, Pearce says: “Not only is theHytec
Group Africa’s largest hydraulics company, it is
well-positioned to grow in sub-Saharan Africa
and our companies are aligned in our commit-
ment to sourcing highest-quality products and
to finding solutions to any application.”

actuators to the doorstep of sub-Saharan Africa’s major operations.
