How can I increase my hydraulic unit’s efficiency, whilst still remaining eco and budget friendly? This is a question many manufacturers ask themselves; and with economic uncertainty ahead, manufacturers need to ensure they maintain the right balance of efficiency and conformity while at the same time ensuring future business success.

What type of electric motor should I specify? A common question asked by customers when they are looking to order a hydraulic power unit.

How do I operate this piece of machinery correctly and safely? A question often asked by new team members or workers unfamiliar with new equipment.

What are flow control valves and why do you need them in your hydraulic system? In this week’s blog we examine how flow control valves help to regulate system speed and adjust to variances in pressure and temperature.

Ensuring you use the correct fluid for your hydraulic system is crucial right from the start, but when it comes to mixing hydraulic oils, the sheer number of combinations of additives and agents available on the market can make even the best engineers scratch their heads in confusion.

Helical noise reducing gear pumps and how they work to maintain quiet system operation? In our latest blog we explain how noise reducing pumps are a popular choice amongst manufacturers who are looking for quieter pump operation whilst retaining optimal performance and reliability.

In our latest blog we look at pilot check valves and how they play a leading role in controlling a hydraulic system’s direction of flow.

Our current blog looks at Hydraulic Cylinders and acts as a guide to help you choose the correct type of cylinder for your hydraulic system. As system layouts and sizes vary greatly, it can be a bit of a trial and error process to get the correct measurements for fitment. Luckily some manufacturers, such as ourselves, offer a bespoke cylinder option which can be tailored to specific power units with additional options also available, if required.

Our latest blog - containing useful technical information from https://www.hydraulicspneumatics.com/ - looks at hydraulic valves and the common differences between the various types of load control valves available as well as how these valves operate to control loads.

In this day and age the word ‘Energy Saving’ seems to be the number one buzzword with manufacturers working to maximise their productivity whilst saving as much energy as they can. Fortunately, in the hydraulics industry which has seen huge leaps in technology over the years, it is possible to design a power unit to maximise its running efficiency whilst still maintaining reliability.
