Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or incorrectly specified material thickness.Always confirm the exact required thickness from the hydraulic system's design schematics to prevent potential structural failure or performance degradation.
Inadequate machining tolerances leading to leaks.Employ high-precision CNC machining with appropriate cutting tools and coolant to achieve the required surface finish and dimensional accuracy for sealing surfaces.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Cylinder Components
  • Fluid Power System Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper post-machining cleaning to remove all cutting fluids and particulate to prevent contamination of hydraulic systems.
  • Handle with care to avoid surface damage, which can compromise sealing integrity in high-pressure hydraulic applications.
