海德福斯HydraForce液壓閥如何配套液壓系統(tǒng)
如果我告訴過(guò)你,我可以設(shè)計(jì)一種
海德福斯HydraForce液壓系統(tǒng),它的功能與現(xiàn)有系統(tǒng)相同或更好,但成本更低,占地面積更小,泄漏點(diǎn)更少,外觀更好,組裝和安裝時(shí)間更少?首先,你會(huì)相信我嗎?其次,你為什么不這樣做呢?
那么,我所說(shuō)的一切都是真的。我們?nèi)绾我愿偷某杀荆俚目臻g需求,更少的泄漏點(diǎn),更好的外觀以及更少的組裝和安裝時(shí)間實(shí)現(xiàn)液壓系統(tǒng),就是將它們?nèi)客度氲酱髩K鋁中。
在這個(gè)行業(yè)中,我們稱其中一大塊鋁制液壓閥為“歧管”。海德福斯有時(shí)稱之為“組合閥”。不管你怎么稱呼它,這個(gè)想法都很簡(jiǎn)單。我們將所有的軟管和管道連接起來(lái),這些軟管和管道通常將單獨(dú)的閥門組件連接在一個(gè)完整的系統(tǒng)中,然后將這些軟管轉(zhuǎn)換成大塊鋁制的鉆孔。
我們來(lái)談?wù)劄槭裁此某杀靖?。如果您需要十個(gè)不同的液壓閥來(lái)創(chuàng)建一個(gè)系統(tǒng),則可能需要三十個(gè)軟管和至少同樣多的接頭來(lái)連接它們。在軟管和配件成本節(jié)約的基礎(chǔ)上,集成式閥門的成本低于單獨(dú)和獨(dú)立的閥門。無(wú)論如何,每個(gè)單獨(dú)的閥門都需要自己的“塊”或“主體”。為什么有十個(gè)這樣的時(shí)候你可以有一個(gè)?
我認(rèn)為很容易看到如何去除數(shù)十個(gè)軟管和配件,并將十個(gè)閥門合并為一個(gè)可以節(jié)省空間。這可能不像工業(yè)應(yīng)用(取決于機(jī)器)那么嚴(yán)重,但對(duì)于移動(dòng)機(jī)器而言,每英寸空間都是有價(jià)值的房地產(chǎn)。
所以,現(xiàn)在我們有更少的軟管,更少的連接和更少的組件,我們可以看到我們?nèi)绾螠p少了可以發(fā)生液壓泄漏的點(diǎn)數(shù)。更少的泄漏意味著更少的錢流失,并減少對(duì)環(huán)境的影響。有很少的液壓油對(duì)環(huán)境安全,而且這些液壓油的價(jià)格非常昂貴,無(wú)法像中獎(jiǎng)票一樣堅(jiān)持下去。
歧管設(shè)計(jì)的另一個(gè)好處是吸引人的外觀。它緊湊而有光澤,并且可以根據(jù)需要進(jìn)行陽(yáng)極氧化處理。他們讓你想知道里面的內(nèi)容,并且非常適合讓競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手看到你的系統(tǒng)如何組裝在一起。看看右邊的照片;你的液壓系統(tǒng)看起來(lái)不錯(cuò)嗎?
zui后,你無(wú)法打敗歧管的裝配和安裝時(shí)間。與其花費(fèi)數(shù)小時(shí)將各個(gè)部件連接在一起,找到安裝所有部件的空間并將軟管壓接到夜間,您只需安裝歧管并連接壓力,油箱和工作線。容易peasy,檸檬擠!
歧管有無(wú)限的應(yīng)用。每分鐘有200加侖的液壓壓力機(jī)在歧管內(nèi)的插裝閥中使用滑動(dòng),并且有簡(jiǎn)單的一個(gè)閥門定制塊。我的一位客戶在帶定量端口的定制歧管中只有一個(gè)減壓閥,并且有六個(gè)工作端口。這種閥門并沒有為閥門本身節(jié)省任何費(fèi)用,但在安裝過(guò)程中為他們節(jié)省了大量時(shí)間,并節(jié)省了軟管/管件成本,因?yàn)樗〈巳ǎ宇^和連接。
海德福斯HydraForce插裝閥和歧管系統(tǒng)的另一個(gè)優(yōu)勢(shì)是可以使用iDesign軟件創(chuàng)建和引用整個(gè)液壓回路,而任何人都可以免費(fèi)使用iDesign軟件??梢詣?chuàng)建一個(gè)系統(tǒng),包括在其3D模型界面中定位塊上的閥門。分銷商可以使用該軟件的定價(jià)功能,我們可以引用您在幾秒鐘內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)的多種功能。*的缺點(diǎn)是工程和制造時(shí)間。您通常必須提前6-8周計(jì)劃才能獲得系統(tǒng)。
I think it’s easy to see how removing dozens of hoses and fittings and consolidating ten valves into one can save you space. This may not be as much as an issue with industrial applications (depending on the machine), but with a machine, every inch of space is valuable real estate.
So now that we have fewer hoses, fewer connections and fewer components, we can see how we have reduced the number of points in which you can spring a hydraulic leak. Fewer leaks mean less money dripping away, and a reduced impact of the environment. There are very few hydraulic fluids that are environmentally safe, and the ones that are, are expensive enough to hold on to like a winning lottery ticket.
Another benefit of a manifold design is the attractive appearance. It’s compact and shiny, and can be anodized any colour you wish. They leave you wondering what’s inside, and are great for keeping competitors from seeing how your system is plumbed together. Have a look at the photo on the right; does your hydraulic system look that good? |
Finally, you can’t beat the assembly and installation time of a manifold. Instead of spending hours plumbing separate components together, finding space to mount everything and crimping hoses until t海德福斯HydraForce液壓閥如何配套液壓系統(tǒng)

What if I told you I could design a hydraulic system that functions the same or better than your current system, but with less cost, less space requirement, fewer leak points, better appearance and less assembly and installation time? First of all, would you even believe me? Secondly, why aren’t you doing it already? |
Well, everything I said is true. How we achieve a hydraulic system with less cost, less space requirement, fewer leak points, better appearance and less assembly and installation time, is to put it all into a big chunk of aluminum.
In the industry, we call a big chunk of aluminum with hydraulic valves in it a “manifold.” HydraForce will sometimes call it a “combination valve.” Whatever you call it, the idea is simple. We take all of the hoses and plumbing that would normally connect separate valve components in a complete system, and we turn those into drillings in that big chunk of aluminum.
Let’s talk about why it cost less. If you take ten different hydraulic valves to create a system, you may need thirty hoses and at least as many fittings to connect them all. On top of hose and fittings cost savings, the valves that go in a manifold cost less than separate and independent valves. Each of those individual valves requires its own “block” or “body” anyway. Why have ten of those when you can have one?he wee hours of the night, you just mount the manifold and hook up your pressure, tank and work lines. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Manifolds have infinite applications. There are 200 gallon per minute hydraulic presses which use slip in cartridge valves in a manifold, and there are simple one valve custom blocks. One of my customers had just one pressure reducing valve in a custom manifold with a gauge port, and six work ports. This valve didn’t save them any money on the valve itself, but saved them a ton of time during installation and saved hose/fitting costs because it replaced a mess of tees, junctions and connections.
Another advantage of a cartridge valve and manifold system is that the entire hydraulic circuit can be created and quoted using iDesign software, which is free to anyone who wants it. A system can be created, including positioning of the valves on the block in their 3D model interface. Distributors have access to the pricing function of the software, and we can quote a manifold you designed in seconds. The only real downside is the engineering and manufacturing time. You generally have to plan 6-8 weeks ahead to get a system in your hands.
