Brief History of Hydraulics

Most people are aware that harnessing the tremendous power of fluid in motion has been around for centuries, and even thousands of years. Literally thousands of years ago, water was used to turn huge wheels, and during all the time since then, it has evolved into a formalized system of fluid power, although today’s fluid systems are highly pressurized.

It didn’t take long for people to realize that water was not the best substance for driving motors and pumps, so a non-corrosive oil became the de facto standard. From there, it became a matter of developing hydraulic cylinders, mounting configurations, and better internal designs, all of which increase the effectiveness and productivity of the system.

A modern hydraulic system can generate more than 10 times the power of an electric motor, and this makes it ideally suited for applications that require heavy lifting, pulling, or pushing. It can also be precisely controlled, so all that power can be effectively harnessed and used to best advantage.

Car Lift – these machines typically hoist a car above ground level, so the under-carriage can be worked on by a repairman.
Hydraulic Hand Crane – this machine is capable of raising and lowering a boom, so as to lift heavy items without using a large hoist system.
Hydraulics Winch – this is a special type of winch which is most often used in marine applications for moving heavy objects.
Fluid Transfer Systems – these systems typically involve water purification or desalination, liquid handling, or the transfer of coolant or heated fluids.
Hydraulics Jack – hydraulics jacks are frequently used for the purpose of lifting elevators in low-rise or medium-rise buildings.
I Beam Log Splitter – used in commercial applications, I-beam log splitters can quickly cut logs in half so they can be used for other purposes.
Hydraulic Accumulators Block – these are pressure storage reservoirs which contain non-compressible hydraulic fluids, and which are maintained in a pressurized environment by some external mechanical source. They serve as devices for the storage of energy.

Hydraulic Motor OMR 100 – this type of motor carries some very distinct advantages over other types of motors, including constant operating torque, high starting torque, high return pressure, high efficiency, long operating life under extreme conditions, compact design, high radial and axial bearing capacity, can be used in both open-loop and closed-loop hydraulics systems, and it can be used with a wide variety of hydraulics fluids.
Patient Body Lift – generally used in hospital settings, these machines can easily and safely lift patients so they can be moved to beds or operating tables.
Hydraulic Crane – this is a heavy duty piece of machinery often found at construction sites, which is commonly used for lifting or moving heavy objects or loads. Because they’re powered by hydraulics systems rather than electric motors, they are capable of lifting far more weight.
Hydraulics Piston – the pistons of a hydraulic system will be located within the cylinder, and they provide the back and forth movement which generates power.
Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder – these systems are commonly used on dump trucks so as to raise and lower the bed of the truck when emptying a load.
Hydraulic Drill Motor – a hydraulic drill motor is a mechanical actuator which converts hydraulics flow and pressure into rotation and torque.
Hydraulic Power Pack – generates massive amounts of power by using fluids to transmit material from one location to another.
Viking Hydraulic Motor – a high-torque, low-speed motor, this motor can be mounted directly on the drum of a winch or to a shaft, without using any intermediate gears. They’re commonly used on forklifts, conveyor systems, car washes, garbage compactors, and hydraulic lifts.
Hydraulic Forklift Rotator – with a forklift rotator, you’ll be able to rotate the forks on a machine so that loads can safely be rotated and moved prior to offloading at a desired location.
Hydraulics Pump Station – this is another term for hydraulics power station, and it generates power for commercial usage.
Hydraulic Gooseneck Trailer – a hydraulics gooseneck trailer basically serves as a portable loading dock, and in contrast to traditional drop deck trailers, it has no hazardous slanted ramp boards.
Hydraulic Stand – basically a hydraulicly powered lift, this device is capable of lifting heavy objects to vertical destinations.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDER REPAIR SERVICES

If the cylinder fails on your heavy equipment, it can spell disaster which carries a significant amount of downtime with it. Fortunately, the experts at Sapphire Hydraulics have a great deal of experience and skill in repairing any kind of hydraulics cylinder failures, so that your machinery can get back online quickly. If necessary, your cylinder can be rebuilt and any replacement parts which are needed can be supplied from our inventory. Whenever you have any kind of hydraulic cylinder issues, make sure to contact us right away, so that you can avoid any prolonged downtime.

HYDRAULIC HOSES & FITTINGS

It’s not surprising that hoses occasionally require repair or replacement, given the fact that they are typically operating under tremendous pressure. All this pressure is transferred to the walls of the hose, and that can eventually cause a crack or a split which requires repair or replacement. When this happens to your hydraulics hoses, or if you have any problem with your fittings, you should contact us at Sapphire Hydraulics, so our skilled specialists can handle the problem for you. If replacement components are necessary, we’ll be able to get those to you promptly, so that minimal downtime is incurred.
