Hydraulic circuits power a wide range of machinery and
equipment such as industrial presses used in different types of manufacturing
and large, mobile equipment.
Construction equipment such as skid steer machines, excavators and
attachments, drilling, mining and oil rig machines require high pressure
hydraulic fluid power.
Many times, equipment is interchanged among manufacturers
and hydraulic hoses must be connected with leak free connections. Reliable connections are critical especially
when faced with challenging configurations in challenging environments. Maintaining optimum fluid pressure is
critical to achieve maximum equipment performance and serviceability.
Considerations in
Hydraulic Coupler Solutions
Hydraulic fitting suppliers can assist with selecting the right quick couplers to
achieve maximum hydraulic fluid power and performance. When consulting with a hydraulic specialist
consider the following engineering specifications for discussion:
●
Type of hose – the
type of hose is important to choose the best quick connect fitting
●
Temperature specifications – the minimum and maximum temperature range of the
application is important to match quick coupler material for the best
performance
●
Material – all
materials and fluid must be compatible with the quick coupler material
●
Service pressure requirements – all hydraulic fluid power operations require a certain
amount of pressure, high pressure applications require quick couplers designed
to withstand maximum service pressure requirements
●
Shut-off – specify as
to whether a shut off mechanism is required
●
One-hand quick connect/release – quick coupler design for one-handed quick connect and quick release is an
important consideration
●
Multi-coupler – in
applications with multiple lines, multi-coupling plates can significantly
improve efficiency and safety
