Target Fluid Services Ltd: October 2011
http://targetfluidservices.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Saturday, 29 October 2011. What is maximum pressure? These days we expect hydraulic pumps should be fully supported with detailed technical information ensuring that we use the pump in the correct application. Often we have pages of stuff showing everything from displacement to recommended oil type. I would like to see a graph with a direct correlation between pressure and life. I want ...

Target Fluid Services Ltd: June 2011
http://targetfluidservices.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Sunday, 26 June 2011. Some of the comments I read are to me like a fashion show. Great entertainment, interesting and above all, fun. But not something I would want to wear myself. Sometimes we stray away in our daydreams to the place of fantasy (not a bad thing). But speaking only for myself, I am in business and the bottom line for me is “can I make a profit”. I apologise if I have upset ...

Target Fluid Services Ltd: Hydraulic pump suction strainers
http://targetfluidservices.blogspot.com/2012/02/hydraulic-pump-suction-strainers.html
Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Saturday, 11 February 2012. Hydraulic pump suction strainers. I return to an old subject, should we fit pump suction strainers? I posed this question to my Linked in forum (Hydraulic help) and the overwhelming opinion was to leave them off. For those just starting out in hydraulics let me briefly recap on the purpose of suction strainers. My opinion is, look at the application and risk asse...

Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Saturday, 24 September 2011. I think most will agree that hydraulic crane safety should be of paramount importance and I would like to mention just a few observations about the use of this potentially dangerous piece of machinery. Also the counterbalance valve can also relieve and lower the load in a controlled way. See more on www.hydraulicbrain.com. Sunday, 18 September 2011. I have just ...

Target Fluid Services Ltd: What is pressure compensation?
http://targetfluidservices.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-is-pressure-compensation.html
Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Thursday, 15 March 2012. What is pressure compensation? So what is pressure compensation? If the pressure difference (ΔP) is constant then the flow and hence the speed of the actuator will also be constant but if the flow or load changes there will also be a change in the pressure drop and consequently change in speed of the actuator. So we need a valve that will automatically close down an...

Target Fluid Services Ltd: All ports blocked control valve
http://targetfluidservices.blogspot.com/2012/02/all-ports-blocked-control-valve.html
Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Saturday, 25 February 2012. All ports blocked control valve. Beware The All ports blocked Control valve. All hydraulic systems leak to some degree and any suspended load held on a ram will eventually creep down due to gravity. However there are occasions when a ram will creep out when the ram is mounted horizontally or even pointing upwards. There are two ways you can resolve this problem.

Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Sunday, 29 January 2012. Hydraulic Hose Burst Valves. Hydraulic Hose Burst Valves. I have talked many times about my dislike for Hose Burst valves (velocity fuse). A cheap and nasty little valve that screws directly into the cylinder port and should close when the velocity across the valve exceeds the spring setting. So why do I hate this valve so much? If you are serious about protecting a...

Target Fluid Services Ltd: July 2011
http://targetfluidservices.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Target Fluid Services Ltd. Hydraulic Engineers for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Southern England www.targetfluid.co.uk. Thursday, 28 July 2011. Where ever possible we like to avoid having to fit coolers to hydraulic systems. The cause of a hot system can be boiled down to one thing, wasted energy. It is possible to waste energy in many ways and I would guess that the most common for hydraulic systems is blowing oil across a relief valve. More at www.hydraulicbrain.com. Thursday, 21 July 2011.
