Beyond the simple scope of the actuator, we can offer complete customized hydraulic systems, including cylinders, drilled block, hydraulic power pack and control unit.
Purpose and operation of a hydraulic system
Hydraulic systems are at the heart of many industrial activities. It is required for highly complex operations such as lifting and moving loads weighing several tons, or shaping materials by compression (extrusion or forging presses, injection or stamping presses, etc.).
A hydraulic system is a set of components – pump, reservoir, cylinder, circuit, filter, accumulator – which interact to provide mechanical work. Its general principle is relatively simple: a hydraulic system uses fluid pressure to transmit energy and create movement. In systems designed by Douce-Hydro, the fluid used is oil.
The force generated by a hydraulic system is used to actuate cylinders, the components behind the mechanical work performed by heavy machinery and industrial equipment: lifting, pulling, pushing, bending, compressing.
The key to an efficient hydraulic system lies in the management of pressure and flow. Thanks to components such as hydraulic pumps, which increase fluid pressure, and cylinders, which convert this pressure into movement or force, hydraulic systems can perform demanding tasks with extreme precision and efficiency.
Purpose and operation of a hydraulic system
The choice of a hydraulic system depends on a number of factors that need to be carefully considered before any decision is taken: the support of an expert company like Douce-Hydro will enable you to define the reality of your needs and formalize them in a specification that will be respected to the letter.
The first thing to consider is the nature of the application: will your hydraulic system be coupled to heavy machinery, industrial equipment or control devices? The system’s ability to manage fluid pressure and flow is another criterion to consider. A well-designed hydraulic circuit ensures efficient energy transmission without significant losses.
