Hydraulic Hose System Design: Best Criteria for Quality and Efficiency
Blog | October 27th, 2016There’s duality in hydraulic systems, just like in everything else. Primarily, rigid tubes are employed as force-transmitting fluid conveyors, but there are situations where pliable tubing is the preferred design choice. A hydraulic hose substitutes flexibility for rigidity. It also dampens frame-propagating vibrations and liberates moving machine sections. Metal lines dominate the main arteries of […]
Causes and Troubleshooting of Squealing Hydraulic Cylinders
Blog | October 14th, 2016The high-pitched mechanical tones of a tortured hydraulic system are often traced back to squealing hydraulic cylinders. A regimented troubleshooting procedure then makes haste to eliminate the noisome wail and determine whether more is going on here. Ask the right questions before jumping in, though, and avoid an unproductive repair experience. Does the squealing happen […]
