Hydraulic presses are powerful machines that use hydraulic power to exert large amounts of force on materials. They are used in a wide range of applications, from manufacturing and engineering to construction and mining. In this blog post, we will explore how hydraulic presses work and some of the common uses for these machines. How …
Hydraulic systems are an essential part of many machines and equipment used in a wide range of industries. These systems rely on hydraulic fluid to transfer power, lubricate components, and reduce wear and tear. However, hydraulic fluid can be affected by changes in temperature, particularly in cold weather. When the temperature drops, hydraulic fluid becomes …
Hydraulics have been a defining feature of low rider car culture since its inception in the 1940s. The use of hydraulics in low riders allows for the cars to be raised or lowered at the touch of a button, creating a distinct bouncing motion that has become synonymous with the low rider car culture. Hydraulics …
Hydraulics is an essential aspect of modern-day tractors and farm equipment. It refers to the use of fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. Hydraulics is widely used in the agricultural industry, particularly in tractors and other farm equipment, to improve efficiency and productivity. Hydraulic systems consist of a pump, a reservoir, a control valve, …
Hydraulic car lifts are essential tools for automotive maintenance and repair shops, allowing them to lift vehicles off the ground safely and efficiently. These lifts work on a hydraulic system, which uses fluid pressure to move the lift’s arms up and down. Let’s take a closer look at how hydraulic car lifts work and some …
Hydraulic systems are used in a wide variety of applications, from heavy equipment and machinery to brakes and steering systems in cars. When these systems fail, it can result in serious and costly consequences. There are several reasons why hydraulic systems can fail, and in this blog post, we will explore some of the common …
Hydraulic hose failures are not accidents. It is always someone’s fault. Poor design, lack of maintenance, a dirty environment can all lead to hose failure. Here are some common reasons hoses fail and how to avoid work stoppage and failure. Poor Assembly Practices Improperly assembled hoses fail fast. Under-crimping, over-crimping, and poor crimp engagement are …
Hose fittings connect your hoses to pumps, cylinders, valves, and other equipment on your equipment. They must be secure to help direct the flow of hydraulic fluid where it is needed to exert the force for the job. They also prevent leaks and maintain pressure. You should not confuse a hose assembly from the …
It may be tempting to try and save money and solve a problem by just replacing fittings on a hose assembly, but this is never recommended. We do not recommend it. The manufacturers don’t recommend it. The fitting company doesn’t think it is a good idea. Get the drift? It is a recipe for …
Pressure is a crucial factor in hydraulics. You’ll see burst pressure and working pressure as the ratings for hoses. Working pressure is how we identify the correct hose for your application based on the hydraulic pressure. It is critical that the system pressure never exceed a hose’s working pressure. Burst pressure is the maximum pressure …
