Onsite Hydraulic Hose and Tubing Testing: The Importance of Preventative Maintenance
Blog | May 29th, 2017An on-the-spot maintenance check is unavoidable when mobile hydraulics equipment is doing all the donkey work. Huge loads are being raised and lowered when the sun put in its first appearance. Then, by the time the sun has completed its arc, the hot-running gear is showing signs of fatigue. Unquestionably, then, hydraulic hose and tubing […]
Hydraulic Hose Pipes and Fittings: How Important Are These?
Blog | April 28th, 2017When mobile hydraulics gear requires instantly accessible torque, high-performance hydraulic hose pipes and fittings step up to the mark. Yes, these are very important circuit elements, but enough with the rhetoric. In place of that wordiness, let’s look at some hard and fast examples that prove just how system-essential fluid conveying components are in a […]
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 […]
Tips in Selecting Hydraulic Connectors for Leak Free Reliability
Blog | July 15th, 2016A chain is only as reliable as its weakest link. We believe this venerable saying applies to a hydraulics power chain, but where are these vulnerable system assets? Hoses and tubes are manufactured from bleeding-edge engineering plastics and wear-resistant alloys, so we need to look elsewhere. Logically, hydraulic connectors loosen or even break down over […]
Applications of Hydraulic and Pneumatic Valves
Blog | November 18th, 2015The principles that govern pneumatic technology are tantalizingly similar to those that govern hydraulic systems. Both energy transmitting mediums are pressurized and pushed through a network of tubes and channels. Both the air of the pneumatic system and the fluid of the hydraulic system store this energy, using it to open valves and power actuators. […]
