TECHNICAL CONTENT
Notes on the block.
We write down the questions we come across most often in design, manufacturing and valve selection.
ALL ARTICLES
Eight topics
in all.
Technical notes on hydraulic manifold design, manufacturing and valve selection. Seven articles published, one in preparation.
TECHNICALWhat is a hydraulic manifold block and where is it used?
What a manifold block does, in which applications it is preferred and how it differs from conventional piping.
TECHNICALWhat to consider when selecting a cartridge valve
Flow rate, working pressure, control type and cavity standard: the four headings that decide valve selection.
TECHNICALCavity and port layout in hydraulic block design
How port layout and cavity positioning affect assembly, maintenance and pressure loss.
TECHNICALTolerance and surface finish in NC drilling
What machining tolerance means and why it is decisive on sealing surfaces.
TECHNICALHydraulic block material: aluminium or steel?
Choosing the material according to the balance between working pressure, weight and cost.
TECHNICALDesign decisions that reduce pressure loss inside the block
The effect of passage diameter, intersection angle and dead volumes on system efficiency.
TECHNICALOEM-equivalent block production for construction machinery spares
How an equivalent is produced by measuring the existing block when no drawing is available.
IN PREPARATIONThe turnkey hydraulic block production process, step by step
What happens and what comes out at each of the five stages, from schematic to test report.
