From small to mid-sized hydraulic systems to the largest equipment used in mining and farm equipment, hydraulics are used everywhere. Why are hydraulics used so much? Hydraulics offer a reliable and safe solution for controlling equipment and machinery with liquids. Some of the many different types of hydraulic systems are simple hydraulics, mobile hydraulics, hydraulic systems for steel structures, fluid power technology, and industrial hydraulics. Here are the different types of hydraulic systems and how custom hoses can help. 

Simple Hydraulics

First, you might need to have custom hoses made for simple hydraulic systems. These systems include pumps, pistons, and hoses. They may be part of smaller machines and equipment. Sometimes, this type of equipment might need special fittings and hard lines to improve them or adapt them for different applications and uses. 

Fluid Power Technology

Fluid power technology is the use of fluid power machinery and systems to perform tasks. Fluid power technology includes hydraulics and pneumatics. Hydraulics involves the use of liquid to transmit force, while pneumatics uses compressed air or gas to transmit force.

The type of fluid used in fluid power systems depends on the application. These hoses for these systems are hydraulic hoses used for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Pneumatic systems are commonly used in manufacturing processes because they do not require a lot of maintenance and can be easily automated for repetitive tasks like assembly line workflows.

Some applications may require custom hydraulic hoses due to their size or shape not being able to fit into one of our standard hose kits. These custom hydraulic hoses can be designed specifically for your application, so they will work with your equipment without any problems.

Industrial Hydraulics

Hydraulics are used in industrial applications to move large amounts of material, such as water and oil. Hydraulic systems use pressurized liquids that are pumped through pipes and hoses to move other materials or machinery. The liquid is pumped to high pressure and then forced through a small opening. This forces the liquid through the system at high speeds, which can be used to lift heavy objects or machines.

Hydraulic systems have many uses in industry because they allow for reliable, accurate control over fluid flow. They are often used in heavy machinery such as cranes, excavators, backhoes, and forklifts. Hydraulics are also used in the manufacturing process for molding and shaping plastic parts, metal stamping, and forming parts from sheet metal.
