Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel for hydraulic components without considering corrosion resistance.Utilize brass or other corrosion-resistant alloys like stainless steel, especially when exposed to moisture or aggressive hydraulic fluids, to prevent premature component failure.
Inadequate surface preparation before machining or assembly.Always ensure the brass surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased to prevent contamination and ensure proper adhesion and sealing of mating parts.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Fittings and Connectors
  • Custom Hydraulic Valve Bodies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining brass to avoid inhalation of brass dust.
  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or damage to the surface that could compromise sealing.
