Abstract

A pressure oil energy recovery apparatus or pressure oil energy recovery/regeneration apparatus that does not require much room and can be mounted within a narrow space, capable of broadening the range of applications for recovered energy. A hydraulic pump motor is actuated by the inflow of the return pressure oil flowing out of a hydraulic actuator. The drive force of the hydraulic pump motor is input to allow an electric motor to generate electric energy. The electric energy generated by the electric motor is stored in a battery. When the energy of pressure oil is regenerated, the energy expended during the actuation of the hydraulic actuator by the hydraulic pump is supplemented with the electric energy stored in the battery.
