Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect brass alloy for the specific hydraulic fluid, leading to premature corrosion.Always confirm the brass alloy's compatibility with the hydraulic fluid type and operating temperature range before fabrication.
Insufficient surface finish on machined components, causing seal degradation and leaks.Employ appropriate machining techniques and finishing processes to achieve the required surface roughness (Ra) values for optimal sealing.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold block fabrication
  • Custom valve body construction
  • Specialized hydraulic fitting production

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining operations to avoid inhalation of brass dust.
  • Handle with care to prevent scratching or damaging critical surfaces before installation.
