What Is A Hydraulic Coupler?

A hydraulic coupler is a mechanical device specially designed to connect hydraulic hose and fittings in high pressure hydraulic systems. These devices are generally durable and made from non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys and brass. A hydraulic coupler makes a tight connection where hydraulic fluid flows between two tools. For example, a construction worker assembling a workstation may need to switch tools within seconds to maintain productivity. The station provides a coupling half on each tool and the other half on the air line. Workers can then simply swap tools, with ease on the airline. Tractor operators can use hydraulic couplers to quickly switch between grips and attachments such as tree harvesters on the same job site. Whatever your application, hydraulic couplings provide a safe and easy way to move between tools.

Two main categories of hydraulic couplers

Hydraulic couplers are usually divided into one of two main categories, quick release type and thread type. The quick-release joint is a two-piece male/female clip design with the female half of the joint having a row of annular ball bearings around the joint inlet. The male half has a flared section located in a matching chamber behind the ball bearings. The balls are pushed down into their seats by a spring-loaded sleeve that holds them firmly behind the flared part of the male joint, ensuring a strong connection. When the couplings need to be separated, the sleeve is pulled back to release pressure on the ball, allowing the male joint to be removed.

Flat face hydraulic couplers

The flat face hydraulic coupler is a specially designed hydraulic coupling, which guaranteeing zero leakage and helps to avoid external contamination. Flat valves allow hydraulic lines to be connected without fluid loss during connect and disconnect operations. Therefore, the flat face hydraulic coupler are considered to be good for the environment as there are no leaks even at high pressure in the system. Plus, the flat surface makes them easier to clean and less prone to contamination and grime. Many flat face hydraulic couplers have a zinc-nickel plating, which ensures excellent corrosion resistance. The flat face hydraulic coupler are suitable for high pressure or high pressure pulses, usually applied on piling rigs, demolition excavators, tractor front loaders, etc, such as, 3/4 flat face hydraulic couplers. If you want to buy the flat face hydraulic coupler, MyMRO website is a good choice. It provides a variety of flat face hydraulic couplers joints, including single connection and multi-connection, meeting various market needs. You can also buy excavators, forklifts, aerial work platforms AWP and other models or other parts on this website.
