Manage Hydraulic Pressure with Quick Couplings

Hydraulic fluid powers many types of machinery across many sectors by generating, controlling and transmitting power through the use of pressurized liquids.  Hydraulic fluids, hydraulic oil in most cases, transmits kinetic energy to the equipment to be operated.  The hydraulic fluid must be pressurized and heated up by a pump to generate sufficient energy to drive devices.

Hydraulic systems provide the power to many types of machinery and equipment used in industrial operations, agricultural, earth moving, oil and gas and many others.  Hydraulic power is efficient to power large machinery for these applications such as rigs used in extracting oil, excavators and attachments used in demolition and many industrial presses used in manufacturing. While powerful and efficient, highly pressurized hydraulic oil poses potential safety risks for operators.

Even a small leakage of fluid can be very dangerous to anyone in the vicinity because the fluid is operating at high temperatures and pressure.  A leak at even 50 bar can be dangerous and some hydraulic circuits can generate 700 bar of pressure (700 kilos of force for every square centimeter).

Quick Couplings for High Pressure

Quick couplings and hydraulic adapters connect hydraulic lines together and must be designed to withstand the pressure of the application.  This junction point is of particular importance as it represents a potential weak area in the circuit.  The design, testing and identification of quick coupler best practices is critical to achieving efficient and safe hydraulic operations.

Stucchi has been developing hydraulic quick connect solutions since 1960 to fulfill requirements for safe and efficient operation of hydraulic circuits.  Our threaded, flat face quick coupler design withstands high pressure and applications with residual pressure, providing leak-free and reliable quick connect.

We maintain open communication with customers to identify problems and address concerns. This allows continual improvement of quick couplings and innovative, efficient and safe products brought to market.

Stucchi offers custom designed hydraulic solutions to meet challenging configurations. We partner with you to provide the most efficient and safe quick connect system with couplers designed to withstand high pressure applications.  Contact us with any questions and to speak directly with a hydraulic specialist.
