Power Components: The function of power components is to convert the mechanical energy of a prime mover into the pressure energy of a fluid. This refers to the oil pump in a hydraulic system, which provides power to the entire system. Hydraulic pumps generally come in gear pumps, vane pumps, piston pumps, and screw pumps.
Actuators: The function of actuators (such as hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors) is to convert the pressure energy of a fluid into mechanical energy, driving the load to perform linear reciprocating or rotary motion.
Control Components: Control components (i.e., various hydraulic valves) control and regulate the pressure, flow rate, and direction of the fluid in a hydraulic system. Based on their control function, hydraulic valves can be divided into pressure control valves, flow control valves, and directional control valves. Pressure control valves include relief valves (safety valves), pressure reducing valves, sequence valves, and pressure relays; flow control valves include throttle valves, regulating valves, and flow divider/combiner valves; directional control valves include check valves, pilot-operated check valves, shuttle valves, and directional control valves. Based on the control method, hydraulic valves can be divided into on/off control valves, setpoint control valves, and proportional control valves.
Auxiliary components include oil tanks, oil filters, coolers, heaters, accumulators, oil pipes and fittings, seals, quick-connect couplings, high-pressure ball valves, hose assemblies, pressure test fittings, pressure gauges, oil level gauges, oil temperature gauges, etc.
