Customized Technical Help for Hydraulic Circuit Connections



 
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
