Hydraulic Components

Frequently asked questions — Hydraulic Components

• How do I choose the right hydraulic components for my oil-hydraulic system?

  The choice of MecaIndus components is based on precise technical criteria, including the required flow rates, the permissible operating pressures and the compatibility with your fluids. To maintain the functional integrity of circuits over time, it is essential to consult the detailed specifications of manufacturers such as ATOS, REXROTH BOSCH, BONDIOLI & PAVESI, OLAER, CHAPEL, FENNER FLUID POWER or SUN. Matching these parameters to the constraints of your application ensures optimal performance.
• Which standard must I comply with for the design of my hydraulic diagrams?

  The design of your hydraulic systems must imperatively comply with the ISO 1219 standard. This standard defines the standardised graphical symbols required for the preparation of hydraulic diagrams. The use of this common nomenclature ensures clear and precise technical communication during the design, installation and maintenance of your hydraulic equipment within the MecaIndus infrastructure.
• How can I ensure the interoperability of hydraulic directional control valves during integration?

  For the integration of control equipment, conformity with the mounting interfaces is essential. You must select components complying with the ISO 4401 standard to ensure the interoperability of hydraulic directional control valves within drilled blocks or sub-plates. This standardisation provides reliable mechanical compatibility when mounting valves, thus facilitating the assembly and replacement of elements in your hydraulic circuits.
• What factors should be considered when selecting materials for industrial environments?

  Operating environments, whether fixed or mobile, require the selection of materials capable of withstanding corrosion as well as cyclic mechanical stresses. Analysis of the operating environment is therefore crucial to ensure the longevity of the installed components. The MecaIndus catalogue offers solutions tailored to meet these specific mechanical and environmental requirements, ensuring lasting reliability under the most demanding service conditions.
• Why use specific accessories for the maintenance of my installation?

  The use of suitable hydraulic accessories greatly facilitates preventive maintenance. This equipment enables the rapid replacement of connection or filtration elements, thereby limiting unplanned downtime. By integrating hydraulic filtration components and washing accessories from our range, you optimise the longevity of your oil-hydraulic installation while ensuring efficient maintenance of critical circuits.
