Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using non-annealed or improperly straightened brass, leading to warpage during machining.Always source brass stock that is certified as fully annealed and properly straightened to prevent dimensional instability during fabrication.
Inadequate surface preparation of mating hydraulic components, causing leaks.Thoroughly inspect and machine mating surfaces to a specified flatness and surface finish to ensure a proper seal.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Valve Bodies
  • Custom Hydraulic Fittings
  • Pressure Vessel Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always consult relevant hydraulic system design standards and material compatibility charts before fabrication and installation.
  • Machining operations should be performed with appropriate tooling and coolant to prevent overheating and maintain dimensional accuracy.
