🔧 What is hydrofication?

Hydrofication - is the process of equipping equipment, mechanisms or installations hydraulic drive to perform various operations: lifting, lowering, turning, extending, etc. This is especially relevant for:

Special equipment (dump trucks, manipulators)
Agricultural machinery (tractors, trailers)
Production lines
Metalworking equipment

The correct selection of hydraulic components is the key to reliable, safe, and efficient operation of the mechanism.

📦 What components are included in the hydraulic system?

A hydraulic system uses numerous components. Each performs important functions, and the operation of the entire system depends on their quality. Let's look at the key components:

Components	Purpose
Hydraulic pump	Creates a flow of working fluid in the system
hydraulic cylinder	Converts fluid pressure into linear motion
Oil tank (hydraulic tank)	Capacity for storing and cooling the working fluid
Filters	Cleans oil from contaminants and extends the service life of the system
Valves (distributors)	Control the direction and pressure of the flow
RVD (high pressure hoses)	They connect system elements and withstand high pressure.
Couplings and connections	Provides a tight and reliable connection of components
Pressure gauges	Monitor the pressure in the system
Remote control	Allows the operator to control the hydraulics
Fasteners, brackets, holders	Fixing and installation of elements

⚙️ Why are hydraulic components needed?

Each element performs a specific function. Below is an overview of the functionality.

1. Hydraulic pump — the heart of the system

It's the pump sets the movement working fluid. Without it, the system will not function. There are different types of pumps:

Gear (simple and cheap)
Piston (more expensive, but produce high pressure)
Plate (quiet, compact)

The choice depends on the pressure and flow requirements.

2. hydraulic cylinder — executive link

This element converts pressure into forward motion. It's used everywhere: from lifting a truck body to rotating a crane boom.

Types:

Single-acting
Double-acting
Telescopic
With and without fermugs

3. Hydraulic tank and filters — system health

The tank serves to store the oil, and the filters serve to clean it. This prevents:

Oil overheating
Wear of valves and cylinders
System failure

It is important to use heat-resistant tanks And high-quality filter elements.

🧰 Popular hydraulic kits

Purpose	Set composition
Dump truck	Pump, cylinder, tank, high-pressure hose, distributor, control panel
Tractor with trailer	Pump, distributor, high-pressure hose, fasteners, pressure gauge
Manipulator	Cylinders, high-pressure pump, control system, connections
Press/machine	Plunger pumps, fine-tuning valves, hydraulic locks

🛠 Tips for choosing components

Consider pressure and flow: choose a pump for specific tasks.
Look at compatibility: elements must match in diameters and threads.
Choose trusted manufacturers: hydraulics are not something to skimp on.
Consider the operating conditions: the presence of dust, frost, aggressive environment requires appropriate materials (for example, stainless steel).
Keep your system clean: Change filters regularly and monitor oil levels.
