Hydraulic system applications

Hydraulics are used in many engineering and industrial settings where pressurised fluid is used to transmit force and control movement. Common applications include construction machinery, hydraulic presses, power steering, braking systems, landing gear, hydraulic mining and other heavy-duty mechanical devices.

In these systems, hydraulic components help manage flow, isolate sections, reduce pressure, protect equipment and support efficient operation. Choosing the right valve or fitting depends on the medium, pressure, temperature and connection type required by the system.

Hydraulic fluids and system performance

Hydraulic fluids are commonly used to transfer power through an incompressible fluid under pressure. In many systems, hydraulic oil is selected for consistent performance and dependable force transmission. Components must be compatible with the fluid, pressure rating and temperature range of the installation.

For buyers comparing products for hydraulic power circuits, the collection provides options that can be matched to different system requirements, from general maintenance to more demanding industrial use.

Hydraulics for commercial and industrial buyers

This collection is relevant to plumbing buyers, HVAC buyers, industrial buyers and fluid power buyers who need dependable components for commercial and process systems. It also supports buyers looking for WRAS approved products, potable water suitable parts and replacements for valve and fitting applications.

If you are specifying components for hydraulic systems, hydraulics and pneumatics installations or related pressure-controlled applications, this collection offers a practical range of products for everyday engineering needs.
