AAK HYDRAULIC VALVES (835) 2025-02-10
Brooke is the purchasing manager of the American company Vickers and has been working with AAK for more than 6 years. One morning last month, he emailed us that his job was finally saved. I was surprised how a veteran suddenly said that he had finally "saved his job". In private, I learned that it was because he had some disagreements with his owner and quarreled. The owner almost let him go. Because his owner is not satisfied with the price of AAK, sometimes the price of AAK for the same hydraulic valve will be more than 20% higher than that of other Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. At the cost meeting last month, the owner proposed to replace the Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer, but Brooke insisted that AAK is the most cost-effective Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer, so it is not recommended to replace it. On the contrary, he can only leave. The year before last, the owner went to Shanghai PTC exhibition with him to develop suitable Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers for cooperation. They did get acquainted with many Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers at the exhibition, but after more than 2 years of testing samples and running in, Brooke found that there is really no second Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer that can compare with AAK in all aspects. AAK is not only reliable, but also has temperature, whether it is cooperation, delivery, quality, after-sales etc. Brooke remembers the support and help from AAK hydraulic valve over the years. On one occasion, due to the urgent delivery time of a South African customer, Brooke could not find a factory with stock at that time and could only customize it. Most Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers said that the lead time from sampling to delivery should be at least 2 months. AAK stopped a production line and asked technicians to work overtime to speed up the production. Samples can be produced in 30 days and shipped in 45 days. It is precisely because of the temperature of AAK that Vickers has the opportunity to cooperate with this big customer in South Africa. Every time, AAK products can be successful at one time during testing. They are the best among all Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers in terms of accuracy, concentricity, fatigue resistance and durability. Brooke's deepest memory is that one time, the South African customer mentioned that the hydraulic valve used for more than 2 years often stuck during work and asked for replacement. After receiving the news, AAK immediately told Brooke to ask the customer to return the goods. After inspection, it turned out that the hydraulic oil used by the South African customer was not clean and caused the problem. Later, AAK disassembled and cleaned the valve and sent it again, and asked the customer to change the hydraulic oil. Until now, no problem has been mentioned. If this happened to other Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, their reply must be that this has passed the warranty period.
Why will China's hydraulic screw-in cartridge valve exports increase in 2025? China's hydraulic screw-in cartridge valve exports are expected to increase in 2025. This prediction is based on the analysis of the following aspects: 1. Industry development trend: The hydraulic industry, as an important component of modern manufacturing, has demonstrated strong market potential and technological innovation in recent years. As a key component in hydraulic systems, the market demand for hydraulic screw-in cartridge valves is closely related to the overall development of the hydraulic industry. 2.

As one of the top hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo China, AAK will continue to provide high-quality products, reasonable prices, and excellent communication services to new and old customers from all over the world.
Andy is our old hydraulic valve customer in the The hydraulic cartridge valves he purchased from in previous years always has a standard of machining surface roughness around 0.8m. In last year, Andy sent an email to inform us that in the future, the machining surface accuracy of their hydraulic cartridge valves will be improved to within 0.3m. engineers believe that based on the current equipment system, it is very difficult to improve the machining surface accuracy of hydraulic cartridge valves to 0.3 m. It is also very difficult to find such a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer I know that has only two options, either give up the business of his hydraulic cartridge valves or accept his accuracy standard. This is the first time I have faced the choice of "standing in line" since I joined the hydraulic valve industry. The cooperation with Andy has always been trustworthy, pleasant and efficient. doesn't want to give up such customers. After two rounds of communication internally, technical team has not reached a consensus. I have to call my retired master and hope to hear his opinions. My master told me that this is a rare opportunity to catch up with and surpass the accuracy of international hydraulic cartridge valves. The roughness of the working surface under 0.3m is rare in , but some European hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers have this strength. must first start with the equipment, and then select the most experienced operators from the factory for special aircraft training, so as to have the opportunity to compete with those top European hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. American HARDINGE precision CNC lathe is worthy of a try. At present, none of the domestic hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers have this equipment. After contacting the equipment manufacturer, technical team took the hydraulic cartridge valves produced for Andy before to the equipment factory, and asked the engineer of the equipment manufacturer to go directly to the machine for proofing. A week later, we sent the hydraulic cartridge valve samples to Andy and asked them to test the accuracy parameters. Two weeks later, Andy informed that the previous hydraulic cartridge valve accuracy test was completed twice. This time, hydraulic cartridge valve was tested 4 times, and the accuracy fully met the standard. At the same time, he told me that after receiving the accuracy improvement notice, the other 3 domestic hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers directly gave up, and only dared to test the sample and succeeded in one test. He was very surprised. The machine tool to be introduced by has advantages in accuracy. The parameters of the machine tool: spindle speed up to 6000r/ min, spindle radial run out 0.0008mm, positioning accuracy (X/Z)
In Ningbo, the hometown of hydraulic valves, conservatively speaking, there are more than 100 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. 4 years ago, we began to contact HydraForce. AAK HYDRALUC VALVE lasted 2 years, replaced hydraulic valve materials 3 times and proofed 4 times, becoming the first hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer supplier of HydraForce valves among so many hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo. 4 years ago, I received a call from President Li, who is the agent of HydraForce valves in China. He said that from the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo, he heard that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE have invested a lot of equipment and constantly innovated technology, and has a good benchmark in Ningbo among hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers and asked if we are not interested in becoming a supplier of HydraForce valves. Everyone wants to cooperate with top 500 enterprises in the world. While agreeing, I am also a little nervous. I am worried that if the quality of hydraulic valves does not meet the standard, we would make jokes among these hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo. The first entry point between us and hydraforce valves is a hydraulic cartridge valve. The AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE technical team spent 33 days and sent the approval sample of the hydraulic cartridge valve. We soon got a reply from HydraForce valves. They asked us to re-make sample, listed us those parameters to be improved, and also gave us some encouragement. At present, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE parameters are among the top 3 of the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo. Since AAK HYDAULIC VALVE can represent the manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge valve in Ningbo, we must continue to overcome difficulties until the sample of hydraulic cartridge valve is approved. We constantly tested imported materials, replaced imported machine tools with higher precision, designed different fixtures, and assembled special equipment required for proofing. The 4th hydraulic cartridge valve has finally been recognized by HydraForce valves, and has also been affirmed by hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, in 2 years, replaced hydraulic valve materials 3 times and proofed 4 times, became the first hydraulic cartridge valve supplier of HydraForce valves among so many hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo.

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.
The hydraulic cartridge directional control valve that HydraForce can't make, is customized by AAK for navigation Fossette is from a navigation and aerospace equipment company in Canada, and has been purchasing for 4 years. At the beginning of the year, their customer wanted to customize a marine hydraulic power unit, which was very strict with the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. He contacted HydraForce for customization. Because of small quantity and tight time, HydraForce could not meet the needs of Fossette. He selected hydraulic cartridge directional control valve manufacturer in Ningbo, who has cooperated for 2 years, to make samples. The manufacturer guaranteed that the geometric accuracy of the valve spool and valve cage is 0.8�¼m, but it was jammed during equipment commissioning. The hydraulic cartridge directional control valve of this manufacturer is inflexible, and the accuracy is 50% lower than the requirement. At this moment, the manufacturer said that 1.2�¼m of hydraulic cartridge directional control valve is the limit, and their engineers can't fulfill their promises. Fossette contacted more than 10 manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge directional control valves, but it was also fruitless. The time was wasted for 6 weeks, the customer was dissatisfied, and Fossette started to worry. Fossette saw on B2B that AAK has released a customer case about "0.8�¼m Accuracy of hydraulic directional control valve", he left a message on AAK Hydraulic Valve website, asking 3 questions consecutively: 1. Accuracy 0.8 �¼m Hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, are you SURE? 2. Customization time? 3. The quantity is small, are you interested? He specially emphasized â??SUREâ?? in capital letters. He may be feared of being disappointed again. I told him that the precision of 0.8�¼m Hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, is already an existing fact for AAK, it is not a matter of SURE or not. I need a complete drawing to evaluate the probability of customization success as a whole. 40 days later, AAK sent 10 customized hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. After that, there was no email from Fossette, and I did not follow it. Generally, the customer will give a feedback 2-4 weeks after receiving the samples. 4 months later, just last week, Fossette informed us that his customer was very satisfied with the marine hydraulic power unit they provided. He was preparing for the annual order and asked me to keep an eye on the production in the workshop to ensure the progress and manufacturing quality of large goods. The hydraulic cartridge directional control valve accuracy within 0.8�¼m, challenges the processing equipment, the technical team and the manufacturer's quality awareness. 1. In terms of finish machining, OKK ultra precision machine tool from Japan is used, and AAK self modified fixture is equipped, accuracy of 0.8 m is not our limit.
