Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect machining speeds leading to tool wear or poor surface finish.Consult machining data for brass alloys and adjust speeds and feeds accordingly for optimal results.
Failure to adequately deburr cut edges, introducing contaminants into the hydraulic system.Implement a rigorous deburring process for all machined edges using hand files or specialized deburring tools.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling to avoid scratching or damaging the surface finish, which could compromise sealing.
  • Always perform thorough cleaning after machining to remove all metal chips and debris before assembly into hydraulic systems.
