Fluid Power Products Applications

Find fluid power products as individual components or as systems for the original equipment manufacturing, maintenance, repair and replacement markets. A typical fluid power system includes the following components:

  • Hydraulic pump or air compressor converts mechanical power to fluid power.
  • Cylinder or motor converts fluid power to linear or rotary mechanical power.
  • Valves control the direction, pressure and rate of flow.
  • Filters regulators and lubricators, which condition the fluid.
  • Manifolds, hose, tube, fittings, couplings, etc. conduct the fluid between components.
  • Sealing devices help contain the fluid.
  • Accumulators and reservoirs store the fluid.
  • Instruments such as pressure switches, gauges, flow meters, sensors and transducers help monitor the performance of a fluid power system.
