Last October, Henry had planned to go to Hawaii with his family for a vacation. The day before he left, he was informed that a customer complained about the vibration problem of his company's hydraulic power unit during low-speed operation. The boss asked Henry to solve the problem immediately. As the purchasing manager of the company, he had to cancel the annual leave. The engineer tested the hydraulic system on site and preliminarily judged that the hydraulic counterbalance valve was abnormal. The engineer disassembled the hydraulic counterbalance valve and failed to find out the reason. The hydraulic counterbalance valve was tested separately, and each parameter was up to standard. Henry began to contact the local hydraulic counterbalance valve supplier and wanted to solve it as soon as possible, but there was no reply.
Henry found the original hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturer. The factory said that he OEM the hydraulic counterbalance valve completely according to their hydraulic counterbalance valve drawings. He also specially retested the hydraulic counterbalance valve in stock, and its parameter basis was qualified. Henry was embarrassed to face such a situation. Henry thought of AAK because we helped him solve the difficult problems of hydraulic counterbalance valves several times before.
We received Henry's email and understood that neither the original manufacturer nor the local manufacturer provided solutions. According to the working video of the pressure unit provided by Henry, our engineers recognized their preliminary judgment that the hydraulic counterbalance valve was abnormal. The function of the hydraulic counterbalance valve is to balance the "negative load force" opposite to the required movement direction, which makes the hydraulic motor easier to control. The vibration problem in the complaint is that the hydraulic counterbalance valve affects the control ability of the balance circuit to the load. This is just our first guess about the fault. The specific situation needs to be determined in combination with the actual hydraulic counterbalance valve samples.
Henry sent us the hydraulic counterbalance valve samples the next day. After our engineers disassembled it, we are 90% confident that our judgment is correct. The check valve throttling groove of their hydraulic counterbalance valve is a traditional design. According to the working condition of their pressure unit, the design of double triangular throttling groove of hydraulic counterbalance valve has a little influence on the stability of valve spool. The hydraulic counterbalance valves we shipped to a Russian customer 2 years ago also encountered similar problems. I suggest Henry redesign the structure of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. A month later, AAK sent out 10 samples of hydraulic counterbalance valves, Henry installed the equipment for commissioning, and there was no vibration problem.
Change the design of hydraulic directional control valve, the vibration disappears, and AAK eliminated Canadian factory at zero cost Hunter is an old purchaser of EAGLE PRO company in Canada. It has been several years since he purchased hydraulic directional control valves from AAK. In the second half of last year, Hunter emailed that he would become the general manager of Hangzhou branch in a month and visit AAK. Hunter has been engaged in procurement for 5 or 6 years. This promotion must be due to outstanding contributions. Some time ago, their company developed a batch of hydraulic cylinders, which vibrated greatly during commissioning. Their engineer thought that there was a problem with the hydraulic directional control valve, but the hydraulic directional control valve was normal when tested separately. The engineer was confused, and the boss was also very anxious. He asked hunter to consult the manufacturer of hydraulic directional control valves. This hydraulic directional control valve is produced by a local factory in Canada. After on-site analysis, the engineer of the original factory thinks that the vibration is caused by the sharp change of oil port pressure during the reversing of the hydraulic directional control valve. It can be solved by changing the hydraulic manifold design. The engineer's scheme is to connect two small adjustable one-way throttle valves in series on the control oil circuit at both ends of the hydraulic direction control valve. After 20 days, according to the plan of the original hydraulic directional control valve manufacturer, there was no vibration. The boss was very happy and let Hunter be promoted. Knowing that the installation of two throttle valves has increased their cost by 20%, I wonder if there is any other scheme. After getting their hydraulic direction control valve drawings, hydraulic manifold drawings and the hydraulic schematic diagram of the system, AAK engineers began to analyze. Three days later, AAK's scheme came out. The shoulder of the hydraulic directional control valve spool table was redesigned and a triangular throttling groove was added to avoid the sharp change of oil port pressure during reversing. This new design does not change the production cost of the hydraulic directional control valve, that is, it solves the vibration at zero cost. Hunter was a little incredible and asked AAK to immediately sample the new hydraulic direction control valve. One month later, the hydraulic directional control valve of AAK sample was sent out. After commissioning, there is no vibration, but the cost is zero. Hunter's boss happily saved 20% of the cost and asked hunter to always send inquiry for any hydraulic directional control valves to AAK at the first time. The design of hydraulic directional control valve runs through the whole process of design, manufacturing, use and maintenance. A good hydraulic directional control valve design cannot be separated from manufacturing.
Zander is from a hydraulic manufacturing company in Greece. In the first half of this year, their company planned to upgrade the old logistics crane and put it back on the market. Its main goal is to improve its stability by 20% compared with its peers. The optimization of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is the key, but the original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve manufacturer has no ability to innovate. Zander found a local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer to optimize the structure and make samples. However, during commissioning, when the load of the system drops, the pressure fluctuation cannot exceed that of the peers, and the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve cannot avoid load interference. The local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer has no ability for further improvement. 2 months passed by, but there was still no solution. The boss pushed for progress many times, and Zander was worried. Zander found AAK on Google, noticed that AAK had released some customer cases about hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves, and sent us an email. According to the schematic diagram of the hydraulic system and the original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve drawing provided by him, AAK engineer informed that the structure optimized by his local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer was not reasonable and needed to be adjusted. AAK has a trick to prevent the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve from being affected by the load. Zander asked for AAK samples. After 45 days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves. 3 months later, Zander sent an order for 500 hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves, and told us that their technical department was very satisfied with AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves. Not only did they overcome the load impact, but also improved the stability of their new logistics crane by more than 20%. In the promotion stage, the booking was good, and the boss was happy. AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve can stably control the opening of the valve spool without being disturbed by the load, and its stability is higher than that of its peers, because we have tricks on optimizing the structure. AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is composed of a valve body, a valve seat, a main valve spool, a pilot valve spool and a pilot mechanism. The valve seat is connected with the valve body and forms a connected first channel. The extended end of the valve seat butts against the pilot mechanism and forms a second channel. The main valve spool is provided with a throttling slot. One end of the pilot valve spool slides and is arranged in the inner cavity of the main valve spool. The other end is connected with the pilot mechanism. The pilot valve spool is equipped with a throttling slot. The pilot valve spool is connected with the inner cavity of the main valve spool as a balanced structure.
AAK 3 Skills Solved the problem of Hydraulic Counterbalance Cartridge Valve Caused by Back Pressure and helped Dorian's Equipment to be Promoted Smoothly Dorian is from a Greek hydraulic equipment company and is responsible for the procurement of hydraulic components. At the beginning of the year, they developed a new hydraulic crane, which requires the use of hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve. Dorian worked with a local manufacturer to make samples. During the equipment commissioning, it was found that the hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve had no overflow function due to the back pressure. The hydraulic system was tested separately, but it was normal. Dorian felt that there was a hidden danger in the original design of the hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve. The engineer thought that the function of the hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve was not up to standard. Dorian was a little embarrassed. Dorian found website of AAK hydraulic valves on Google, and noticed that AAK had been supplying first-line brand hydraulic valves such as HydraForce, SUN Hydraulics, and HAWE for many years. Maybe he saw hope and sent an email to ask for help. According to what he said, the hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve has no overflow function under the influence of the back pressure of the closed central circuit. I told him that it was probably a flaw in the design of the original hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve. According to his hydraulic schematic diagram and original drawing of hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve, AAK engineer not only determined that the problem was in the original design, but also had a solution. After knowing these, Dorian asked AAK to make samples. After 50 days, AAK sent 10 hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve samples. 4 weeks after AAK hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve samples were sent, Dorian told me that the equipment debugging was smooth and the market promotion had been started. I was asked to wait patiently for the batch order. The rapidity and stability of AAK optimized hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve is the key to smooth equipment commissioning. It solves the contradiction between the rapid response and stability of the equipment in the early stage, and the flow change is moderate, the movement is stable, the safety overflow function is not affected by the back pressure, which can be applied to the closed center and open center hydraulic systems. 1. The middle section of the hydraulic counterbalance cartridge valve spool is provided with an inner concave ring, which is also the valve inlet. The right end of the inner concave ring has a cone, on which there is a two-stage stepped taper ring. The cumulative area of the cone is the same as the area of the cylinder end face at the right end of the counterbalance cartridge valve spool.
Today's weather is fine and I'm in a good mood, too. It took us 6 months to finally send the samples of the hydraulic counterbalance valves used in the sandstorm to Leonard. Their company has operated hydraulic equipment in Italy for more than 30 years. Leonard has been successful in purchasing hydraulic valves. AAK is their old supplier of hydraulic valves, but he has not purchased hydraulic balance valves from AAK yet. In the past, I asked why there was no inquiry or sampling of hydraulic counterbalance valves. He advised that their hydraulic counterbalance valves were purchased from another supplier who had cooperated for many years. At the beginning of last year, Leonard sent an inquiry for the hydraulic counterbalance valves. At that time, I was a little surprised. I estimated that he had trouble purchasing hydraulic counterbalance valves from the original manufacturer. After communication, it was learned that their company had a batch of hydraulic equipment sold to the Middle East in previous years, and the hydraulic counterbalance valves used had to be replaced almost every 6 months. The customer was not very satisfied with this high-frequency after-sales service. The original manufacturer said that the hydraulic counterbalance valves used in other places do not need to be replaced for 1 or 2 years. There is often haze or sandstorm weather in the desert areas of the Middle East, and the solid particles will virtually cause corrosion to the exposed surface of the hydraulic counterbalance valves, resulting in a high replacement frequency of the hydraulic counterbalance valves, and there is no good way to solve it at present. Leonard contacted AAK to improve their after-sales service. Try AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves to see if they can be used for more than 6 months in a sandstorm environment. According to the hydraulic counterbalance valve drawings from Leonard, the parameter requirements are of medium grade. The core is to select the stainless steel with the best corrosion resistance as the external parts of the hydraulic counterbalance valves. I suggest Leonard ask his customer to send the particles in the worst weather to AAK, analyze the PH of the environment, and then increase the PH by 30% to test the service life of different steels. Three months later, Leonard asked about the progress of the hydraulic counterbalance valve samples and joked that if AAK development is successful this time, all their future hydraulic counterbalance valves will be purchased from AAK. Another three months later, a special steel produced by ArcelorMittal group from Luxembourg was successfully tested by AAK technical team. Using this special steel as the external part of the hydraulic counterbalance valves can ensure corrosion resistance for at least 1 year. It took us 6 months to finally send samples of the hydraulic counterbalance valves used in sandstorm to Leonard.
For Hydraulic Counterbalance Valve Valve equivalent to SUN CBGG, a Spain customer placed the annual order after 15 months finally This week, weâ??d like to introduce a Hydraulic Screw-in Counterbalance Valve equivalent to SUN standard part CBGG. The counterbalance valves with pilot assist are meant to control an overrunning load. The check valve allows free flow from the directional valve (port 2) to the load (port 1) while a direct-acting, pilot-assisted relief valve controls flow from port 1 to port 2. Pilot assist at port 3 lowers the effective setting of the relief valve at a rate determined by the pilot ratio. A customer in Spain sent us inquiry for this counterbalance valve last September, with annual qty of 600 pcs. However, after we quoted the price, there was no any feedback. The customer sent us inquires for other SUN cartridge valves at later times. Every time, there was no any feedback. Unexpectedly, this March, the customer got back to us and placed the trial order of 10 pcs for CBGG. Until that time, we learned that AAK prices were 5% - 10% higher than other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in China every time, so he placed the orders with other manufacturers. However, the quality of hydraulic cartridge valves he purchased from other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo was not stable, he was very frustrated, so he wanted to test AAK quality. We delivered the 10 pcs of test samples. Last week, we were very happy to learn that AAK samples passed the testing. They are still performing very well after 9 months of use. The customer placed their annual order with AAK finally. It has been 15 months since we received the inquiry for this counterbalance valve CBGG. AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve 2 advantages: 1. Function and Performance benchmarking SUN 2. Its service life is 2 times that of its domestic peers Technical parameters of AAK E-CBGG Hydraulic Counterbalance Valve: Max.

3 Highlights of AAK Hydraulic Cartridge Counterbalance Valve, Camden gave up SUN Camden is from a hydraulic equipment company in Sweden and has been engaged in procurement for 2 years. One of their customers ordered 2 sets of customized hydraulic power units, and specially reminded that the working environment of the equipment is 20 â?? below zero. The hydraulic power unit is required to be durable for at least 1 year, and its stability should be the first. Their engineer suggested purchasing SUN hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves, but the parameters of SUN standard parts could not fully meet the requirements of equipment working conditions, and there is no enough quantity and time to customize SUN hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves. Camden contacted a local manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves, and the manufacturer was willing and confident to sample. 3 months later, the customer complained that the equipment was not stable enough, but it was barely usable. 6 months later, the equipment went on strike. During after sales service checking, it was found that the control of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve was abnormal. The original manufacturer was surprised and confused. After disassembling the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, it was found that the installation torque was too large, which could easily cause the valve to jam, and there were also abnormal seals, the original manufacturer had to surrender. Camden tried to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve. After a week, it was fruitless. The boss blamed Camden for poor procurement. Camden noticed AAK at Google and found that AAK Hydraulic Valve is SUN's supplier of hydraulic components for 5 consecutive years. He left a message: SUN is unwilling to sample a hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, and AAK is able to do a good job? The hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve shall be durable for not less than 1 year, and its stability shall be guaranteed. I have judged that he is in trouble when purchasing hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves. According to the hydraulic schematic diagram of the system, hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve drawings, equipment working condition parameters and working scenarios provided by Camden, AAK engineer found that this hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is similar to the hydraulic cartridge relief valves that we supplied to a Russian customer 1 year ago, which had a service life of at least 1 year under extremely cold conditions of - 55 â??. Camden was very happy to learn about the similar customer case of AAK, and requested to customize the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve and benchmark SUN. I said that AAK does not pursue whether this hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is advanced, but it must benchmark SUN in stability and reliability. At the same time, AAK needs to redesign this hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve from 3 aspects.
For Hydraulic Counterbalance Valve benchmarking HAWE, it is difficult for AAK to find rivals in the field of high pressure resistance Santiago is from Spain. He has been a purchaser of the company for 3 years. His boss trusts him very much. Unexpectedly, a hydraulic counterbalance valve overturned him. In the second half of last year, one of their hydraulic cylinders was complained by the customer because of shaking. The engineer judged that the hydraulic counterbalance valve used was abnormal, but the reason was unknown. After receiving the defective hydraulic counterbalance valve, the original manufacturer found that the internal pressure spring had failed, resulting in the slow response of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. This is the best pressure spring of the original manufacturer, but it still could not withstand the impact of 450bar high pressure and high frequency. Santiago had to change the manufacturer of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. After more than a week, no manufacturer was able to guarantee that the valve would not fail under the high pressure of 450bar for more than 1 year. It had been nearly 2 weeks, and there was no solution to customer complaints. Santiago was under great pressure. Santiago accidentally found AAK Hydraulic Valve in Google. He left a message on the AAK website asking whether the pressure spring of the hydraulic counterbalance valve would not fail for more than 1 year under the high pressure and high frequency working condition of 450bar? According to his drawings and working conditions, I told him that if the German HAWE was used, it would be 100% OK, but the quantity was too small, and HAWE would not necessarily accept it, and the cost was not low. AAK has a similar hydraulic counterbalance valve. Let's see if it can be a substitute first? 3 weeks later, Santiago informed that the AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve could be installed with their hydraulic cylinder and operated normally. But he seemed worried that it would not last long. I told him that Germany HAWE is the first brand of hydraulic valves in the subdivision field of high pressure resistance. The function of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve benchmarks HAWE, which has been shipped for many times. The fact has proved that there is no repair report for 1 year, and the pressure spring can not lose efficacy for more than 1 year. Why dare I say so? The pressure spring of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve is made of 60Si2CrVA alloy steel. At the same time, in combination with special heat treatment process, 60Si2CrVA pressure spring steel is heated to 860 �° c, kept for 20-40 min for austenitizing, and then subjected to short-term high-temperature water cooling quenching to room temperature. The comprehensive properties of the treated 60Si2CrVA spring steel have been improved by at least 2 times, especially the strength and toughness of the pressure spring, which quality far exceeds most springs.
With AAK variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve, Milan's equipment energy consumption is reduced by 30% Milan from the Netherlands is an old customer of AAK. He purchased many non-standard customized hydraulic counterbalance valves from AAK. In March this year, Milan asked by email: can AAK design hydraulic counterbalance valves to reduce the energy consumption of equipment? It was learned that a hydraulic elevator developed by their company focused on the selling point of "low energy consumption and high efficiency", but after equipment commissioning, the energy consumption was not as good as expected and could not be promoted to the market. Their engineer knew that it was the problem of the hydraulic counterbalance valves, but there was no improvement after making efforts for several times. Milan contacted a number of hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers, but there was no gain. He was very anxious. According to Milan's hydraulic schematic diagram and the original design drawing of the hydraulic counterbalance valve, AAK engineers analyzed that the problem really lies in the control of the hydraulic counterbalance valves. AAK can redesign the hydraulic counterbalance valve with 90% confidence. Milan seems to have no better choice. He paid $2,000 development fee. After 50 days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic counterbalance valves. Last week, Milan sent an order for 600 hydraulic counterbalance valves. At the same time, he informed that based on AAK newly designed variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve, their engineer adjusted the working conditions of the equipment, improved the hydraulic principle, and saved more than 30% of the energy consumption of the hydraulic elevator. The promotion at the exhibition was also very smooth, the booking was hot, and their whole team was happy. But I'm a little unhappy. The price of Milan's regular order has dropped by 40% compared with the trial order. I told him that you can't let me "earn some money from selling cabbage with the heart of selling Heroin". Milan may also be amused, and directly revised it to the original price, only stressing the need to ship on time. How do AAK engineers design variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valves? In fact, it is simply based on Milan's energy consumption pain point, fight to the end. The variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve is an innovation from the mechanical structure of the valve, which utilizes the characteristics of variable pilot ratio and pilot pressure. When stable, a low pilot ratio is used, and when unstable, a high pilot ratio is executed. Compared with the conventional standard hydraulic counterbalance valves, the pilot pressure required for full opening can be 30% lower under the same pressure and flow. At the same time, AAK's variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve can keep the oil cylinder and motor moving more smoothly and quickly.
The 1 million times durability of hydraulic counterbalance valves, AAK quality benchmarked with SUN hydraulics, but the price was 30% cheaper Last week, the German customer Thorsten sent an order for 1,200 hydraulic counterbalance valves, and said that only AAK and SUN hydraulic counterbalance valves passed 1 million durability tests among the 6 hydraulic valve manufacturers making the samples. However, the price of AAK was 30% lower than that of SUN, and the delivery time was faster. In May this year, Thorsten's company received an order for a batch of special hydraulic winches. The customer requested that the equipment be guaranteed for at least 1 year of service life. The engineer required that the durability test of the hydraulic counterbalance valve to be purchased by Thorsten must reach more than 1 million times. Thorsten found a local hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturer to carry out the test. After 100,000 times, the O-ring wear affected the seal. After the sealing ring was replaced, the valve spool and valve body were worn and leaked again after 200,000 times, and the local manufacturer surrendered. Thorsten had to find a manufacturer of hydraulic counterbalance valves with higher durability. In order to avoid wasting purchasing time again, the two schemes were carried out simultaneously. One is to purchase the original SUN hydraulic counterbalance valves, and the other is to find a factory for customized hydraulic cartridge valves. When Thorsten contacted AAK, I told him that the requirement of hydraulic counterbalance valves for 1 million times was not very high. How could local hydraulic valve manufacturer fail? Thorsten said that when testing this hydraulic counterbalance valve, the opening and closing cycle time is set to 5 seconds, the set pressure is 21 PMa, and the flow rate is 9L/min. The wear resistance of the sealing ring, valve spool and valve body is at least 50% higher than that of the conventional hydraulic counterbalance valves. This time, including AAK, there are 6 hydraulic valve manufacturers to make samples. More than a month later, Thorsten said that among the 6 hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers, only AAK and SUN hydraulic counterbalance valves have passed the durability test for 1 million times, but the price of AAK is 30% lower than that of SUN. At the same time, AAK can provide a delivery time 4 weeks faster than that of sun. Thorsten especially wants to know why AAK is so strong. AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves are different from peers due to the following 3 points: 1. AAK adopts Japanese special polyurethane rubber sealing ring for this hydraulic counterbalance valve. Under the special working condition required by Thorsten, the durability limit of rubber sealing ring is about 100,000 times only, while the wear-resistant and high-pressure resistance performance of ours is more than twice that of other rubber sealing rings.
