Basic system set-ups

 

 

 

 Cylinder
Applies hydraulic force.		 Single-acting push application, such as in a press. The hand pump offers controlled cylinder advance, but may require many hand pump strokes in longer stroke applications when the cylinder capacity is 25 ton or above.
Cylinder Base Plate
For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required.
Pump
Provides hydraulic flow.
Hose
Transports hydraulic fluid.
Single-acting cylinder with longer stroke used for lifting applications.
 Male Coupler
For quick connection of the hose to system components.
 Female Coupler
For quick connection of the hose end to the system components.
 Gauge
To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit.
 Gauge adaptor
For quick and easy gauge installation.		 Double-acting cylinder set-up used for lifting applications where a slow controlled descent of the load must be maintained.
 Swivel connector
Allows proper allignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected cannot be rotated.
 Auto-Damper
Valve V-10
Used to protect gauge from damage due to sudden pressure variances in the system. Needs no adjustment and allows correct positioning of gauge prior to tightening. Only required in place of Swivel Connector (9) in applications where rapid decompression is likely, such as hole punching.		 Double-acting cylinder set-up used in a push/pull application.
 4-Way Directional
Control Valve
Controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a
double-acting system.		 Two point lifting set-up using single-acting cylinders.

 3-Way Directional

 

Control Valve
Controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a
single-acting system.
 Safety Holding
Valve Controls load descent in lifting applications.		 Four point lifting set-up using single-acting cylinders, flow control valves and safety valves.
 Manifold
Allows distribution of
hydraulic fluid from one power source to several cylinders
Needle valve
Regulates the flow of
hydraulic fluid to or from the cylinders.
