Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys not rated for hydraulic pressures.Always specify and use alloys like 6061-T6 or equivalent, which are engineered for the mechanical demands of hydraulic systems.
Inadequate surface preparation before sealing or assembly.Thoroughly clean and deburr all machined edges and mating surfaces to prevent leaks and ensure proper component seating.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Hydraulic Valve Bodies
  • Cylinder Components
  • Fluid Power System Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid surface damage, which can affect sealing integrity.
