Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys not rated for hydraulic pressure.Always specify and use brass alloys specifically formulated and tested for hydraulic applications to ensure structural integrity and prevent failure.
Inadequate machining lubricant leading to tool wear and poor surface finish.Utilize appropriate cutting fluids and coolants during all machining operations to maintain tool life and achieve the required surface finish for sealing surfaces.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Valve Bodies
  • High-Pressure Hydraulic Fittings
  • Custom Hydraulic Component Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling to prevent scratches or damage to critical surfaces.
