Functions of Control Valves in Hydraulic Systems
Blog | March 15th, 2016In order to manipulate unwieldy mechanical assemblies, we employ hydraulic systems, a hefty amount of fluid-dominated engineering wizardry. The mechanical assets are moved by pistons and the fluids that power these parts are regulated by special devices that modulate pressure and/or flow rate. Control valves in hydraulic systems achieve this goal by leveraging a specific […]
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. […]
