Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower-grade aluminum for hydraulic components.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or a comparable alloy for hydraulic applications to ensure adequate strength and fatigue resistance.
Inadequate deburring after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to prevent potential contamination of hydraulic fluid and damage to seals.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Pump and Motor Housings
  • Valve Bodies
  • Cylinder Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
