Frequently asked questions — Hydraulic Accessories

• How do I choose between hydraulic accessories and other specialised components?

  The choice depends on the function required within the circuit. Hydraulic accessories provide the structure, protection and general maintenance of the system, whereas the specific sub-families address precise technical needs such as crimping equipment for flexible connections, or hydraulic filtration to guarantee fluid purity. You should check suitability with your circuit using the symbols of the ISO 1219 standard.
• What are the essential criteria for ensuring the leak-tightness of hydraulic valves?

  To guarantee the leak-tightness and interchangeability of hydraulic valves, mandatory compliance with the mounting interfaces according to the ISO 4401 standard is required. An installation that complies with these specifications ensures a correct connection with the circuit while preventing leaks at the connection points. It is also essential to take into account space constraints and the specific operating conditions of your industrial environment when selecting the interface.
• Why is filtration a key element when choosing hydraulic accessories?

  Hydraulic filtration is a decisive factor in preserving the service life of your equipment. By maintaining the purity of fluids, it prevents premature wear of internal components and ensures the longevity of the power transfer system. When selecting your accessories, it is therefore necessary to incorporate filtration solutions suited to the nature of your fluids and to the technical requirements of the brands represented, such as MP FILTRI or STAUFF.
• Which technical elements should be used as a basis for selecting the components of a hydraulic circuit?

  The selection must be based on the rigorous compatibility of materials with the fluid used, the maximum permissible service pressures, as well as space constraints. It is recommended to consult the specifications of partner manufacturers such as CIR, EDH, ALGI, PARKER or RAJA LOVEJOY. For the design and reading of the installation, systematically refer to the ISO 1219 standard in order to use the correct standardised graphic symbols for each component.
