Areas of application for fittings, screw connections and valves in the respective industries

Example applications

Hydraulics

Fittings, unions and valves play a crucial role in hydraulics, especially in high-pressure applications for compressors and pumps. These components are essential to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of these systems. 

Hydraulic fittings and unions provide a secure connection between pipes and hoses to withstand the pressures and vibrations that occur in high-pressure systems. They prevent leaks and ensure the integrity of the system.

Fittings and valves are crucial for controlling the pressure in high-pressure hydraulic systems. They make it possible to adjust the operating pressure as required and thus optimise the performance of the system. Through the use of tees, crosspieces and manifolds, hydraulic systems can direct pressure and fluid flows in different directions.

High-pressure hydraulic systems often require special filter systems to remove impurities from the hydraulic fluid. Fittings and unions allow filter elements and housings to be installed in the system to ensure fluid cleanliness and extend component life.

Fittings and unions are designed to be disassembled, which facilitates the maintenance and repair of hydraulic systems. This enables efficient maintenance and minimises downtime.

Overall, fittings, unions and valves in high-pressure hydraulics are crucial to ensure the functionality, safety and efficiency of these systems. They are instrumental in ensuring that these technologies can be used successfully in a variety of applications, including engineering, manufacturing and transport.
