Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys not rated for hydraulic pressure.Always select Aluminum 6061 or higher-rated alloys for hydraulic components requiring structural integrity and pressure resistance.
Inadequate deburring of machined edges.Thoroughly deburr all machined surfaces and edges to prevent the introduction of metallic particles into the hydraulic fluid, which can damage seals and valves.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Custom Hydraulic Housings
  • Structural Support for Hydraulic Assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper material handling to prevent scratches or damage that could compromise structural integrity.
  • Confirm compatibility with hydraulic fluids and operating temperatures before final integration.
