Hydraulic Fitting Suppliers with Custom Solutions

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

Oil and Gas Industry Benefits from Stainless Steel Hydraulic Fittings

Despite raised awareness for renewable energy, oil and gas remains the globally predominant source of power generation.  The pressure is on to explore new sources for oil and gas exploration and extraction as many conventional oil and gas reservoirs have become exhausted.  Improvements to the industry have made it possible to prospect areas which were previously not feasible due to harsh temperatures and weather conditions. 

Equipment and technology must support these new, demanding challenges with materials designed to hold up in these harsh environments without limitations. Stainless steel is known for corrosion resistance, although not all stainless steel is made the same.  There are varying levels of Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) required to meet certain industrial demands. 

Maintaining leak-free hydraulic systems in oil and gas equipment is critical to prevent worker injury and environmental contamination.  Hydraulic fittings engineered with CRAs in the lower range of the spectrum may not be suitable for all applications even though they are made of stainless steel.

Improve Snow Removal Operations with Bobcat Hydraulic Fittings

It’s that time of year again when snow removal equipment such as Bobcat utility vehicles, snow plows and various skid steer machinery are busy at work.  It’s paramount that these vehicles operate efficiently and reliably to maintain long hours without equipment breakdowns or fluid leaks.  Hydraulic fluid leaks stop equipment in their tracks and negate profitable operations.  

Snow removal equipment is expected to clear parking lots, roads and driveways, providing safety to communities and reliable vehicle transportation.  Hydraulic fittings on these utility work machines must stand up to harsh weather conditions such as snow, ice and salt while maintaining leak free hydraulic connections.  Keeping snow removal equipment on the road without unplanned equipment downtime is mandatory for a profitable winter. 

Stucchi Offers Hydraulic Solutions to Mobile and Snow Removal Equipment 

Stucchi offers a wide selection of hydraulic quick couplers and is known for developing custom designed hydraulic solutions to meet demanding applications.  Our vast product line includes quick couplers compatible with brand names such as Bobcat, John Deere, Kubota and other well known skid steer equipment names.  

We provide hydraulic quick coupler solutions to many snow removal and agricultural processes with quick couplers engineered to resist corrosion while preventing leaks.  Leak free hydraulic connections prevent equipment downtime, worker injury and environmental contamination.  Quick couplers proven to meet these demands include the:

●     A-ZN Series of flat face couplings

●     BIR ISO A Interchange poppet coupler

Stucchi’s A-ZN flat face quick coupler is designed for high corrosion resistance with zinc plating which exceeds the ISO salt spray test.  This quick coupler provides lower pressure drop with superior flow ratings over comparable products. 

The BIR ISO A interchange poppet coupler includes zinc plating, nitrile seals and a reliable sealing mechanism for long lasting performance. Large diameter sleeves are engineered in hardened steel with resistance to deformation in demanding applications.  

Stucchi offers a full line of skid steer hydraulic quick couplers, as well as custom designed solutions to meet challenging requirements.  We provide process analysis and hydraulic solutions which improve productivity and overall business operations.  Contact us with any questions and to learn more about our proven, skid steer and agricultural hydraulic solutions.
