The main purpose of hydraulic fluid power is to transmit force. One might think that with the same purpose, all hydraulic machinery and equipment would be similar in design and scope. Wouldn’t the same valves, actuators and pumps achieve the same hydraulic force? Machinery and equipment is designed for the task at hand, thus mobile…
Hydraulic quick disconnect couplings, also called quick disconnect fittings or quick release couplings, provide a quick connection of fluid transfer lines. Hydraulic Quick Disconnect Couplings Hydraulic quick disconnect couplings allow for efficient and easy connection and disconnection of hydraulic fluid lines. They are designed to quick connect and quick release easily without the use of…
Stucchi’s innovative flat-face quick coupling design makes it possible to connect and disconnect hydraulic lines easily and quickly, without the need to use tools while ensuring a leak-free connection and without pressure drops or risks to the operators. Since 1960, Stucchi designs and fabricates quick couplings and other solutions to fulfill the demands of many…
If you are having trouble connecting your quick couplers on your machinery, mini-excavators, skid steer or plow equipment, it is most likely due to built-up pressure in the lines. This is a common problem for machinery operators as hydraulic pressure builds up inside the implement after disconnecting from the machine. There are quick connect solutions…
Hydraulic oil is essential in moving a great variety of machinery all throughout the world, crucial for the operations of many industries such as Oil & Gas, earth moving, agriculture, transport and more. In order for these machines to work properly, their hydraulic circuits need to operate with maximum efficiency and one of the main…
Hydraulic oil is the lifeblood that powers hydraulic machinery and equipment used in a broad range of industry sectors around the world. Hydraulic fluid provides the pressure needed to hydraulic systems through hoses with quick couplings at connection points. There are many reasons why contamination may occur in a hydraulic system, which could create minor…
Safety is a priority in any work environment, but in some sectors, the consequences of an accident are much more serious than in others. Take Oil & Gas, for example, where the operators work daily to extract materials which, without adequate protections, could be harmful to their health and cause fires or even explosions in…
A compact excavator, commonly called a mini excavator, is a smaller version of larger heavier duty excavators although they play an important role in many construction and demolition applications. Choosing the right Bobcat mini excavator attachments and auxiliary hydraulic couplings is just as important for the compact excavator as it is with the larger equipment….
Keywords: hydraulic breaker for skid steer, hydraulic breaker grease hydraulic breaker for skid steer hydraulic breaker grease One of the intrinsic phenomena in hydraulic circuits used in many industries is the formation of pressure inside closed hydraulic circuits due to the increase in temperature of the surrounding environment. In fact, during a working day, the…
Snow and ice removal equipment can be complex, with many hydraulic, electrical, and computerized systems working together. There are many different types of snow and ice removal equipment from the standard plow truck we see on the road, to trucks with side plows, tow plows, salt spreaders and snow throwers. One thing that all of…
