Setting up a Hydraulic System Guide

Basic system set-ups

1

Cylinder

Applies hydraulic force.

2

Cylinder Base Plate

For applications such as lifting where additional cylinder stability is required.

3

Pump

Provides hydraulic flow.

4

Hose

Transports hydraulic fluid.

5

Male Coupler

For quick connection of the hose to system components.

6

Female Coupler

For quick connection of the hose end to the system components.

7

Gauge

To monitor pressure of the hydraulic circuit.

8

Gauge Adaptor

For quick and easy gauge installation.

9

Swivel Connector

Allows proper alignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected cannot be rotated.

10

Auto-Damper Valve V-10

Used to protect gauge from damage due to sudden pulses in the system. Needs no adjustment and allows correct positioning of gauge, prior to tightening.

11

4-Way Directional Control Valve

Controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a double-acting system.

12

3-Way Directional Control Valve

Controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in a single-acting system.

13

Safety Holding Valve

Controls load descent in lifting applications.

14

Manifold

Controls load descent in lifting applications.

15

Needle valve

Regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid to or from the cylinders.

Single-acting push application, such as in a press. The hand pump offers controlled cylinder advance, but may require many hand pump strokes in longer stroke applications when the cylinder capacity is 25 ton or above.

Single-acting cylinder with longer stroke used for lifting applications.

Double-acting cylinder set-up used for lifting applications where a slow controlled descent of the load must be maintained.

Double-acting cylinder set-up used in a push/pull application.

Two point lifting set-up using single-acting cylinders.

Four point lifting set-up, using single-acting cylinders, flow control valves and safety valves.

Hydraulic tooling is used for a wide range of functions across a just about every industrial application imaginable during construction, maintenance, shutdown or demobilisation activities onsite. At Winnellie Hydraulics we specialise in the supply, repair, calibration and hire of this equipment to the oil and gas, mining and all other industries.

As a long term, dedicated Enerpac distributor and service centre Winnellie Hydraulics remain committed to providing our valued customers the best tooling, technical support and training to ensure safety, productivity and reliability in your work place.
