Our hydraulic system design and repair guides will help users specify the loads, cylinders, valves, power units and pipework. They will allow users to find faults or select and size components from a drop-down list and modify or warn about issues with the rest of the system.
Each design guide will export a .csv file (registered users only) containing the recommended component sizes that the user can enter into a spreadsheet to back-up the final calculation evidence. These files should also contain enough information for suppliers to accurately quote the appropriate hydraulic equipment.
If you are a hydraulic equipment supplier and would like to add your data for each component and receive enquiries for equipment in your area then please contact us.
This troubleshooting tool will help your identify, diagnose and repair a wide range of common breakdown faults in hydraulic systems. Problems discussed include:
The thread tightness calculator will help you find the correct torque or angle of rotation for bolts and threaded fittings. Features include:
The hydraulic hose register software is a clear and simple tool for identifying your hydraulic hose.
It allows you to create a complete list of your hoses in a format you can transfer into an excel spreadsheet.
This application will size the correct pipework for your application. Features include:
This application will guide you through the design of a hydraulic valve and cylinder system. Features include:
This application will guide you through the design of a hydraulic power unit. Features include:
This module applies to both mobile and industrial applications although mobile equipment is likely to be so finely balanced that it will require development testing to ensure performance limits.
