Save time, space and money with a briquette machine from Yuken. A briquette machine, also known as a Kiriko machine, is an automatic shavings compactor that uses hydraulic power to compress metal shavings and chips, created by machines when cutting metal, into briquettes. Hydraulic briquetting machines have much larger briquette […]
Read MoreElectro hydraulic servo valves are electrically operated valves that control how hydraulic fluid is sent to an actuator. These types of valves provide precise control of position, velocity, pressure and force and can deliver instantaneous and accurate responses. LSVG/LSVHG series High-Speed Linear Servo Valves are suitable for use in many […]
Read MoreMany industries use hydraulic systems because they have advantages over mechanical, electrical and pneumatic systems. They transmit power by using the pressure of an in-compressible fluid, usually oil, within a sealed system. They are used everywhere as you can see from the examples below: • Cranes • Forklifts • Hydraulic […]
Read MoreABSTRACT Servo valves are continuing to experience more demand as time goes on due to affordable sophisticated electronic controls that are now more available than ever in the market today. The problem with most of these torque motor driven, piloted type servo valves is the susceptibility of these valves to […]
Read MoreEven the most reliable and well-made hydraulic valves can become fatigued and break down. A damaged valve can often stop a hydraulic system from operating completely which will cause problems and damage productivity. Many people wonder whether they need to replace their hydraulic valve or whether repairing it will do […]
Read MoreIn a nutshell, hydraulic cylinders are mechanical components that provide force in one direction through a stroke. These cylinders are used in a wide variety of industrial applications and can have issues in the long run due to a number of reasons. Here are just a few reasons for hydraulic […]
Read MoreHydraulic systems are widely used in day to day life in a range of industries. So much so that many people don’t even think about it anymore! Here are some common everyday uses of hydraulics that you may not of thought of. Car Brakes Hydraulics play a huge role in […]
Read MoreIn this article we’ll be exploring the common problems that often come with hydraulic systems and how they affect your system and its components. It’s important that any issues with your hydraulic system are diagnosed correctly, as any missed issues could cause you further problems in the future. System Over-Operation […]
Read MoreMany hydraulic system designers tend to immediately go straight for high pressure systems, often because of the components that are tested and are known for working well together. High pressure systems are often designed due to their use of smaller cylinders, which may be a requirement if the system needs […]
Read MoreIt can be hard to believe, but problems with piston-pumps are actually more common than many engineers may realise. Here we are going to explore the problems all too familiar with piston-pumps and how you can avoid these issues with your own hydraulic system. A common problem that occurs […]
