Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for hydraulic pressure applications.Employ high-strength, corrosion-resistant fasteners specifically designed for hydraulic systems to prevent catastrophic failure.
Over-torquing or under-torquing fasteners, leading to seal compromise or structural stress.Adhere strictly to the specified torque values for all fasteners to ensure proper sealing and prevent material fatigue.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Reservoir end caps
  • Pump housings
  • Cylinder components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always verify material compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids to prevent degradation.
  • Avoid extreme impact or excessive point loading which could compromise the structural integrity of the aluminum sheet.
