Hydraulics

High-humidity hydraulic tank desiccant breathers prevent moisture and contaminants from entering oil reservoirs in machinery and equipment operating in extremely humid conditions. They prolong the life of the breather by only allowing air to pass when needed. These desiccant breathers are used in high-humidity operating conditions such as paper mills, steam cleaning rooms, mines, and quarries.

General purpose hydraulic tank desiccant breathers work with compatible hydraulic systems to help remove moisture from incoming ambient air and enhance functionality. They also replace existing filters that are no longer effective. These desiccant breathers meet the requirements of many stationary fluid management applications and are commonly used in hydraulic systems that experience significant temperature fluctuations and humidity. Typical applications include paper and pulp processing, gearboxes, transformers, and mobile equipment.

Seal kits for aluminum hydraulic tanks are used to replace worn or damaged tank lid seals. Tank seals keep contaminants out of tanks, prevent spills, and reduce noise and vibration. Aluminum hydraulic tanks store excess hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic system. Tanks also allow air to escape from the fluid. Hydraulic tanks are used in applications where fluid level fluctuates, such as material handling, agricultural, and industrial applications.

Tank lid kits for aluminum hydraulic tank reservoirs are used to replace damaged or missing reservoir tank lids. The lids can keep contaminants from entering the reservoir and can be machined as needed to mount peripherals.

Pre-charged diaphragm accumulator fixture sets are installed between the hydraulic pump and fixture or pallet to maintain pressure in hydraulic systems when the fixture is separated from the hydraulic source. Diaphragm accumulators store excess hydraulic fluid to help maintain pressure, reduce shock, and compensate for pressure fluctuations and leaks. The sets include a pre-charged accumulator, shut-off valve, gauge, and coupler.

Uncharged diaphragm accumulators are used in low flow-rate hydraulic systems to store pressurized hydraulic fluid and release it as needed in order to maintain steady pump flow and pressure, dampen vibration and shock, and compensate for leaks or thermal expansion in the system. They need to be charged with nitrogen before they can be used. They can also be used as a source of power in an emergency. They are completely sealed and can be mounted in any position.
