Basic system set-ups
 CylinderApplies hydraulic force.  Cylinder Base PlateFor applications like lifting where additional cylinder stability is required.  PumpProvides hydraulic flow.  HoseTransports hydraulic fluid.  Male CouplerFor quick connection of the hose to system components.  Female CouplerFor quick connection of the hose end to the system components.  GaugeTo monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit.  Gauge AdaptorFor quick and easy gauge installation.  Swivel ConnectorAllows proper alignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected cannot be rotated.  Auto-Damper Valve V-10Used to protect gauge from damage due to sudden pressure pulses in the system. Needs no adjustment and allows correct positioning of gauge, prior to tightening.  4-Way Directional Control ValveControls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a double-acting system.  3-Way Directional Control ValveControls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a single-acting system.  Safety Holding ValveControls load descent in lifting applications.  ManifoldAllows distribution of hydraulic fluid from one power source to several cylinders.  Needle valveRegulates the flow of hydraulic fluid to or from the cylinders. | 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.  Single-acting cylinder with longer stroke used for lifting applications.  Double-acting cylinder set-up used for lifting applications where a slow controlled descent of the load must be maintained.  Double-acting cylinder set-up used in a push/pull application.  Two point lifting set-up using single-acting cylinders.  |
Four point lifting set-up, using single-acting cylinders and directional control valves. |
