Combining mechanical control with hydraulic force, mechadraulic spindles offer a hybrid solution for component removal and installation tasks where neither pure mechanical nor pure hydraulic action gives the best result. The Govoni GO1016 is a 16-tonne mechadraulic spindle paired with an adaptor kit, optimally suited for automotive removal and installation work on wheel hubs, drive shafts, supporting joints, tie rod heads, pitman arms, and silent bearings.
The mechadraulic design combines the controlled, progressive feel of a mechanical screw action with the high force output of a hydraulic system, providing 16 tonnes of force with the operator retaining tactile feedback throughout the operation. This is particularly useful on stubborn taper fits and seized joints where a fully hydraulic system can release suddenly with no warning, while a fully mechanical screw spindle would require excessive operator effort to generate the same force.
Technical specifications: 16-tonne force output, 20mm stroke, working dimensions 38 x 225mm, total length 345mm, working temperature range -10°C to 65°C. Maximum driving torque is 38 Nm at maximum pressure of 2,600 Bar. The basic oil viscosity at 40°C meets the ISO VG 150 specification.
The 1-1/2 inch x 16 tpi receiving thread is one of the most commonly used special tool threads in the automotive sector, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of pulling kits and adaptor systems. The supplied adaptor kit further extends compatibility, allowing the spindle to be used with various puller frames and reaction tools.
Govoni is a specialist Italian manufacturer of professional automotive workshop tooling, distributed in the UK through the Sykes Pickavant range, and the GO1016 represents the brand's mechadraulic technology applied to medium-heavy automotive extraction work.
