Hydraulic quick couplers control the flow and pressure of
hydraulic fluid in hydraulic machinery and equipment, preventing leaks and
contamination. Quick connect adapters
and fittings are found in a wide range of industrial applications such as
agricultural, mobile, construction, oil and gas exploration and many
others. Hydraulic couplers aid the
performance and serviceability of various pieces of machinery and equipment.
When retrofitting machines or searching for the best
hydraulic connections, it’s beneficial to seek the advice of an experienced
hydraulic fittings supplier. Hydraulic
quick coupling suppliers who offer in-depth analysis and custom designed
solutions provide the most value to hydraulic applications. Hydraulic connections custom designed for
challenging configurations and processes improve safety and performance.
Custom Hydraulic
Design Considerations
When consulting with a hydraulic fitting supplier for custom
designed solutions, be prepared to discuss
the following important considerations:
●
Type of hose – this is
important to design the best hydraulic fitting to meet the requirements of
specific hoses or tubing
●
Temperature compatibility – the temperature of the application must meet hydraulic
coupler material specifications for optimum performance
●
Maximum service pressure
– the flow performance and pressure limitations are needed to design hydraulic
solutions which meet pressure requirements
●
Material – the quick
coupler material must be compatible with all materials and the working fluid of
the application
●
Multi-coupling –
multi-coupling plates drastically improve safety and efficiency in applications
with multiple hydraulic lines
●
Shut-off mechanism –
hydraulic fitting suppliers will need to know if a shut off mechanism is
required
●
One hand quick connect
– requirements for one handed quick connect or quick release is an important
consideration when designing quick coupler solutions
