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.
Buy hydraulic cartridge check valve samples 3 times a year, and hit AAK with a big order for the fourth time 1 year ago, Ferdinand from Germany left a message on AAK Hydraulic Valve website: Is there a hydraulic cartridge check valve equivalent to HydraForce? Ferdinan bought two hydraulic cartridge check valve samples from the model number I provided, then there was no news. Three months later, he bought another two samples of hydraulic cartridge check valves equivalent to SUN. Six months later, he sent a customized hydraulic cartridge check valve drawing and brought 6 samples, there was no email for 6 months. I think it's a bit abnormal, but if something is abnormal, there must be evil. He bought hydraulic cartridge check valve samples from AAK 3 times a year to test my patience and inspect the manufacturing quality of AAK. I can only comfort myself in this way. Last month, Ferdinand sent an email asking about the lead time for 1,200 pcs of hydraulic cartridge check valve customized last time. I knew that AAK had passed the investigation period of German customers. After communication, I learned that the hydraulic cartridge check valves that he purchased in Ningbo 2 years ago, were tested with 6 hydraulic valve manufacturers before and after. Either the first sample was OK, but the second one was not up to standard; Either the existing valve was tested OK, but the customized valve was abnormal. Time was wasted and delayed their equipment development. It turns out that Ferdinand was feared by some hydraulic valve manufacturers, so he was prudent to select new hydraulic valve manufacturers. This time, they will develop a hydraulic boarding bridge, which requires non-standard hydraulic cartridge check valves. From trial order to large order, AAK has been investigated for more than 1 year. Ferdinand said that the manufacturing quality of AAK hydraulic valves, whether the ones benchmarking international brands or non-standard customized ones, had been recognized by their engineers for their functions and performance, so they decided to place large quantity order of hydraulic cartridge check valves. The reason why AAK hydraulic cartridge check valve is different from other hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo is that we insist on the quality of manufacturing. 1. Not make do with the equipment. No matter CNC machining center or machine tool, only high-precision ones are selected. At the same time, the fixture is upgraded and modified by ourselves, eliminating human error. 2. Materials should be paid attention to. Different kinds of imported high carburized bearing steel should be combined with AAK's proprietary heat treatment process. The hardness of the material has gone up several steps, and its wear resistance has been improved by more than 3 times. The thermal stability and compressive strength of materials have been far ahead of other hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve specially for manifold with off center cavity, AAK assisted Galeno to participate in the exhibition successfully Galeno, from Spain, has cooperated with AAK for 2 years and tried several non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. At the beginning of this year, they developed a hydraulic windlass to be promoted in the exhibition. They need a hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve for the hydraulic system of the windlass. Galeno got samples from local manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. After the commissioning, the pressure control of the equipment is unstable. The engineer judged that the cavity of the hydraulic manifold was off center, resulting in unstable pressure control of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve after being screwed in. The hydraulic manifold manufacturer needed 2 months to re sample, but the exhibition was less than 50 days, Galeno was worried. Galeno tried to find a new hydraulic manifold manufacturer. When I received his inquiry for hydraulic manifold, I was a bit surprise. After communication, I learned that he encountered unstable pressure control of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve. I told him that under similar circumstances, it is not necessary to re produce the hydraulic manifold. 1 year ago, AAK developed a specially designed hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, which was specially designed to coordinate with the off center cavity of the hydraulic manifold. Galeno compared the technical parameters of the AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve and it basically matched the hydraulic system of their hydraulic windlass. 2 weeks after the sample was sent, Galeno informed that the installation of AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve to the equipment was smooth, and the machine test was normal. The prototype was already on the way to the exhibition. His boss was very satisfied with this urgent solution. I told him that the unique design of AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve was beyond the imagination of most hydraulic valve manufacturers. We got inspiration from an old customer. The customer purchased the hydraulic manifold block and the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve from 2 different factories. After the installation was abnormal, the two factories passed the buck. At that time, we imagined whether it was possible to let the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve match the hydraulic manifold block with off center cavity, or vice versa. AAK technical team has figured out that the middle thread can be used in the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, that is, the floating structure. The connection area of the port can be optimized, and the center of the thread position can be positioned to maximize the flow capacity and minimize the eccentric influence of the hydraulic manifold block cavity.
The manual of hydraulic valve, which is unknown to 90% of people, is broken down by AAK according to "pouring drinks into cups" If someone asks you to write down the operation steps of "pouring the drink from the plastic bottle into the cup", 90% of people think it is simple, and 3 steps are completed: 1. Open the bottle cap. 2. Pour the drink into the cup. 3. Close the bottle cap. I read in a book by a Japanese writer that it is actually 15 steps, rather than the 3 steps that 90% of people think. Pour a drink, take 15 steps, maybe you will laugh in your heart. Look at the decomposition action of pouring drinks by the Japanese writer: 1) Pick up the plastic bottle with your left hand 2) Grasp the cap with your right hand 3) Rotate the bottle cap anticlockwise to unscrew it 4) Put the bottle cap on the table 5) Change your right hand to hold the plastic bottle 6) Take the plastic bottle over the cup 7) Tilt the plastic bottle downward 8) Pour it to an angle that can make the drink pour out little by little 9) Restore the plastic bottle to the vertical state after pouring the drink 10) Put the plastic bottle on the table 11) Pick up the bottle cap with your right hand 12) Pick up the plastic bottle with your left hand 13) Put the bottle cap on the plastic bottle mouth 14) Turn the bottle cap clockwise and tighten it 15) Put down the plastic bottle with screwed cap What did you think of and what should you do? Seeing this, I quickly put down my book and drank some water, it is exploration in my eyes, admiration in my heart, and details of actions. In the workshop of hydraulic valve production, if every operation procedure of our company is more than 15 steps of the Job Manual, and it is written in such a deep and detailed way, then there will be no deviation in the staff training. No matter which operator is changed to operate, everyone is unlikely to make mistakes. I asked the production manager, production engineer, workshop director, section chief and operator of AAK Hydraulic Valve to reformulate the Job Manual of AAK Hydraulic Valve according to the 15 step beverage pouring method. They are also surprised, but they are very motivated to do this deep decomposition. Not only in the workshop, but also in the marketing department of AAK Hydraulic Valve. In terms of marketing, promotion and sales, how to manage the behavior in a specific and detailed way, rather than some abstract and non specific instructions that cannot be executed. Those mega enterprises may say "correct nonsense", but if we imitate it, we can not even know how we â??dieâ??. The Chinese language is really broad and profound. I have seen similar workshop propaganda in other hydraulic valve manufacturers before, "strengthening communication between operators", "Learn from old technicians" and "tidy up the operation post". "Work harder on accuracy to improve customer satisfaction".
The Hydraulic Cartridge Needle valve that HydraForce can't make, AAK has done it in 30 days Rogelio is from Spain and we met 1 year ago. He sent inquiries about hydraulic cartridge valves to AAK for several times. Some time ago, he came to me and asked for help to make a batch of hydraulic cartridge needle valves. The hydraulic cartridge needle valve used on the hydraulic cold drawing machine they sold to Vietnam has expired the warranty period and needs to be replaced. This hydraulic cartridge needle valve is purchased from HydraForce, and it is not a standard part. HydraForce said that this valve was produced 2 years ago, it is out of stock now and will take 3-4 months to produce it. But the customer was not satisfied with this time frame and complained to his boss. In order to catch time, Rogelio contacted more than 10 Chinese manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge needle valves. They either could not benchmark with HydraForce, or they could not meet the time, so Rogelio was anxious. Rogelio remembered that AAK had supplied HydraForce for 9 consecutive years. He believed that I can help him. According to the hydraulic cartridge needle valve drawings provided by Rogelio, the production time is only 30 days. I told him that the lead time was only 30 days, and the manufacturing quality of hydraulic cartridge needle valve was up to the standard of HydraForce, few Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers could meet these requirements. Rogelio thought that I was ready to give up, he was willing to give AAK 40 days and paid for 100 hydraulic cartridge needle valves the next day. 30 days later, AAK sent 100 hydraulic cartridge needle valves to their Vietnam factory. Rogelio informed by email last week that it was out of his expectation that AAK still completed the production in 30 days. Their customer was very satisfied with their replacement of the hydraulic cartridge needle valves. Rogelio also specifically mentioned that he had asked more than 10 hydraulic cartridge needle valve manufacturers, their lead time was at least 50 days and can not 100% guarantee to benchmark the manufacturing quality of HydraForce. AAK was the only one that could catch up with the delivery date and also benchmarked the manufacturing quality of HydraForce. For this non-standard hydraulic cartridge needle valve, AAK has 3 advantages, which are beyond the reach of most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers: 1.AAK adopts Japanese OKK ultra precision machine tool, and the machining accuracy of components can reach 0.01~0.3�¼m. The precision of shape and contour is 0.003 - 0.1�¼m. Its production efficiency is 30% higher, which is the cornerstone of AAK's ability to catch up the delivery. 2. AAK has been hydraulic cartridge valve ODM manufacturer of 3 world top 500 companies for 10 years. Its quality control process is more strict than the ISO certification system. We have been focusing on details and constantly optimizing technology.
90% of people don't know the meaning of travel. This is how AAK hydraulic valve thinks Yesterday, my old friend Henry left a message to me: Why can't some Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers understand my logic? This is not the first time I have heard such complaints from overseas guests. There are also many hydraulic valve peers who often joke about what the foreigner thinks. Is he from the moon? Without same worldview as you, of course, he is not on the same channel as you. Look at the world first, then you can have a world outlook. As the old saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles means reading a group of people, reading a city or a country, not looking for similarities but feeling different. The more places you travel, the more you can understand how different people are. If you regard your little insight as 100% correct logic, how can you understand the completely opposite logic? Different countries and people have completely different views and ideas on a matter. One time, when I was settling accounts for a US$93.00 bill at a supermarket in Vancouver, Canada, I used to pay US$100.00 and US$3.00, and I think you can give me 10 dollars. But the cashier looked at me in surprise, kept saying more, and then firmly returned US$3.00, and then pushed the $93.00 goods to me. After a long time of searching, he gave me the rest of the change US$7.00. It was very shocking at that time. Later, I gradually understood that the way they changed their change was like this. It turns out that there are great differences in the way of thinking and living habits between people in this world. What you take for granted is completely incomprehensible to others. What you take for granted is actually just habit. Many American universities have no doors. You can drive directly to the downstairs of the dormitory when you drive. Stanford and Harvard have no doors. In China, there are not only doors, but also gatekeepers. In Seattle, I made another mistake and waited for half an hour on the street. There was no taxi. It turns out that most Americans have cars. Taxis don't run empty on the road. You need to make an appointment. In China, taxis are readily available. If you stay in a place for a long time, you will naturally bring your habits here, and you should think that every place is the same. But New York is different. Taxis are everywhere on the streets. The subway in Munich, Germany, has no ticket checker or gate. In China, there will be a gate to check tickets when you take the subway. There is no gate and no one checks in. Is it possible to enter without buying a ticket? It has a system that ticket inspectors will randomly check on the subway. If it is found that you have not bought tickets, you will be severely fined. Suppose the subway ticket is 3 dollars. If you are drawn, you will be fined 300 dollars, which will also affect your social reputation.
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.
More than 90% of people or enterprises spend every day in contradiction. What is AAK Hydraulic Valve's view? Today, I want to make a plan, whether it is the marketing of hydraulic valves or the innovation of hydraulic valve production process. This is a definite action, but after the action is done, is it sure that it will pay off? This is a contradiction. More than 90% of people spend every day in this similar contradiction. More than 90% of people linger in contradictions. What to do on this day? Do certainty, uncertainty, or other things? But there is only one most important thing every day. For example, according to the short board theory of a wooden barrel, the height of water that a wooden barrel can hold depends on the shortest board. Should we make up for the short board immediately? Some people say that instead of making up for shortcomings, we should focus on the long board, do what we are best at, and do it easily. Who should we listen to? More than 90% of the people spend the day in contradiction, so do I. In fact, people are most vulnerable to the herd effect. Many of us deal with things every day in a perfunctory way when we go to work. At least 70% of us deal with it perfunctorily. This is because we are not active. In the hydraulic valve factory, for example, what steel has not yet arrived, what equipment is good, and what requirements are so high, his mind is always passive. Or, these passive ones occupy 70% of his time in a day. It's easy to be at a loss when you deal with the current things perfunctorily, it looks like that this is right and that is also right. You also want to do something actively, maybe you can start to do a little, but you can't persist, and then go back to the old situation. If people have knowledge but don't take action, then this knowledge is just bragging. Maybe it has flattered society, but people themselves have not improved. Then they feel good about themselves, which forms this strange circle. How can we break the circle? In AAK hydraulic valve, I cycle myself, practice and construct my hydraulic valve system again. One is practice and the other is hydraulic valve knowledge. Practice is hands-on, such as writing tweets and taking videos of hydraulic valves. From materials, equipment, process, technology, production line, quality inspection, pick it up again and go again. Although I am also in contradiction, I will rebuild the knowledge system of hydraulic valves in a cycle and go through another cycle. What are the advantages of this? Reconstruction and circulation, improve the brain. Practice should be consolidated, not to extend one's own knowledge, but to cycle knowledge and change the neural law of the brain. For example, in the practice of hydraulic valve system, write tweets, write every day, rebuild every cycle, and recycle every cycle. What is the essence of "Skill comes from practice"?
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.
To lose a large amount of money in the Hydraulic Flow Control Valve, AAK used a small amount of money to ease the worries of Brazilian customer Bernardo comes from a hydraulic winch manufacturer in Brazil, and has cooperated with AAK several times on non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge valves. At the beginning of last year, Bernard company needed to purchase hydraulic flow control valves for a batch of hydraulic winches. Due to cost pressure, the boss asked Bernard to reduce the procurement cost of hydraulic flow control valves by 10%. This hydraulic flow control valve needs to be the same as HydraForce standard part. After a round of sourcing, Bernard determined the manufacturer of the hydraulic flow control valve. 7 months after the sale of the hydraulic winch, a customer complained that the sealing ring of the hydraulic flow control valve was broken, resulting in leakage, which caused the hydraulic winch to rise powerlessly. 6 months after the original manufacturer replaced the sealing ring with new one, the old problem happened again. The customer complained directly to the boss, who asked Bernard to replace all the hydraulic flow control valves within 1 month and asked the original manufacturer to bear the costs. However, the original manufacturer could not reach an agreement. Bernard was caught in the middle. He was embarrassed for 2 weeks and made no progress. The boss was very disappointed with him. Bernard sent me an email asking about the time and cost of re producing the hydraulic flow control valves. He wanted to pay for it himself. According to the hydraulic flow control valve drawings he sent, I realized that maybe only replacing with durable O-ring could solve his embarrassment. I sent him 10 O-rings for matching tests. A week later, Bernard told me that AAK O-rings could be matched with the original manufacturer's hydraulic flow control valves. He asked me to send 500 O-rings to Brazil as soon as possible, and he could finally have a good sleep. Last week, Bernard sent an e-mail to express his thanks. All these hydraulic flow control valves have been assembled with AAK O-rings. It has been more than a year, and there has been no complaint of leakage caused by the rupture of the sealing ring of the hydraulic flow control valves. The boss also praised him for solving big losses with small money. AAK's O-ring has 3 strengths: no sloughing, no extrusion and wear resistance. The material and structure of the seal ring directly affect the performance of the seal ring. The hardness, extrusion resistance, tensile strength and deformation of the material all determine the service life of the seal ring, and the structure of the seal ring also determines the sealing effect. AAK selects Japan's special PU polyurethane rubber sealing ring, and the lip compression of the sealing ring is strictly controlled between 15% ~ 20%.
The original hydraulic valve manufacturer can not solve the problem of the hydraulic relief valves for 2 times, AAK reassured Bauer with 2 million performances Bauer has been working in K & G company in Brazil for 6 years. His boss always trusts his work. Bauer and AAK have cooperated for 2 years. Two years ago, the marketing of a hydraulic windlass developed by K & G company focused on the selling point of "no repair in 1 year". However, 10 months after sales, some users complained that the windlass could not rise when it was just started. The problem lies in the leakage of the hydraulic relief valves. Per the manufacturer, some hydraulic relief valves had deviation during assembly, he was willing to replace the hydraulic relief valves for free. But after a few months, the same problem continued. The boss was dissatisfied, and Bauer felt the pressure and checked with other manufacturers of hydraulic relief valves, but still no solution. Bauer began to worry. Bauer emailed me to ask why the hydraulic relief valve leaks? This is a system problem. I suggested that he send us the drawings of the hydraulic relief valve, the hydraulic principle of the hydraulic windlass, and the actual samples of the leaked hydraulic relief valve. Our engineer disassembled the original hydraulic relief valves and found that the contact surface between the poppet and the valve body was worn. The leakage was caused by the weak impact resistance of the valve spool. I told Bauer that because the working condition of this hydraulic windlass is a little special, it has high requirements for the hydraulic relief valve, especially for the impact resistance of the valve spool. The manufacturing quality of the original hydraulic valve manufacturer is not poor, and the deficiency lies in the valve spool, which can be improved. Bauer had no confidence in the original manufacturer and asked AAK to replenish 50 hydraulic relief valves. After 45 days, AAK sent out the hydraulic relief valves and promised "no repair in 1 year". Last week, Bauer informed AAK by e-mail that for those hydraulic windlasses installed with AAK hydraulic relief valves, the customers no longer complained about abnormal starting. Bauer admired AAK for not only finding the "cause" but also fitting the right medicine to the case. He was relaxed and the boss was satisfied. In fact, it is not how strong AAK is, but the inertia thinking of many hydraulic valve manufacturers. They seldom consider the difference of hydraulic working conditions when deciding which hydraulic components to fix. AAK insists that every hydraulic relief valve is a new subject, from material selection to production. AAK uses 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot working die steel for this hydraulic relief valve spool, its mechanical stress is unique among many steels. Its hardness, strength and wear resistance are more than twice that of conventional valve spool materials, and it also has good thermal fatigue stability and corrosion resistance.
For hydraulic directional control valves in extreme environments, the service life of AAK is twice that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers Renzo is from Italy. As an old purchaser of the company, he has been doing very well before. The hydraulic directional control valves purchased at the beginning of last year distressed him. One of their high-pressure hydraulic supports had leakage due to corrosion of the hydraulic directional control valves 6 months after sales, resulting in instability of the support. The original hydraulic directional control valve manufacturer thinks that the corrosion is caused by the extreme working environment and cannot be completely improved. Renzo realized that trouble was coming and began to contact the new hydraulic directional control valve manufacturers. However, after 2 weeks, no hydraulic valve manufacturer guaranteed that it would not corrode for 1 year in an environment with high sulfur and wax oil content and low temperature, Renzo was worried. Renzo found AAK hydraulic valves in Google and left us a message: can you produce hydraulic pressure control valves that can guarantee non corrosion in extreme environments for more than 1 year? I told him that it depends on the working environment and the drawing requirements of the hydraulic directional control valve. According to the information provided by Renzo, after 1 day of discussion, AAK technical team is 90% confident to be successful. Maybe Renzo had no choice, and paid the development fee the next day. Material selection is the key to solve corrosion. After 3 times of material selection and 6 times of testing, AAK technical team completed and sent 24 samples of hydraulic directional control valves 60 days later. Last week, Renzo informed by email that it had been 10 months since their hydraulic support was installed with AAK hydraulic directional control valve, and there were no complaints of corrosion and leakage. I told him to be relieved that there would be no complaints within 1 year. Why did the AAK hydraulic directional control valve is corrosion-resistant for more than 1 year, while the other hydraulic valve manufacturers failed in 6 months? Monel 400 alloy steel is selected for this hydraulic directional control valve. The material is based on nickel metal, and copper, iron, manganese and other elements are added. Its corrosion resistance is more than 3 times that of conventional steel, especially in the geological exploitation of high sulfur and high wax oil reservoirs. At the same time, its mechanical properties have been improved by more than 30%, and it is friction resistant in low temperature environment. Besides, Monel 400 alloy steel has another feature, which is not easy to produce stress corrosion cracks, and is mostly used in aerospace, marine and oil and gas industries. Although the material cost is 2-3 times higher, AAK needs to choose the best option. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVES (342) 2022-09-07
Hydraulic valve blocks with no deviation in valve hole accuracy, AAK replaced Russian manufacturer Sumarokov comes from Russia and has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic valve blocks for 7 years. His boss also thinks highly of him. At the beginning of the year, Sumarokov needed to purchase a hydraulic valve block for use in a hydraulic tractor. He took samples from local hydraulic valve block manufacturers, and the test run was smooth. But he didn't expect that 1 month after the sale of the hydraulic tractors, some customers complained that the equipment was unstable and there was leakage at the hydraulic valve block aperture, but the original hydraulic valve block manufacturer thought that it had nothing to do with their hydraulic valve blocks. There were more and more complaints from customers, but the original manufacturer did not cooperate, and Sumarokov had a big headache. On B2B, Sumarokov saw many articles about hydraulic valve blocks from AAK and left us a message: can you ensure that every valve hole of hydraulic valve blocks is processed without deviation? I guessed that the machining accuracy of the holes of the hydraulic valve blocks he purchased was uneven. After communication, I learned that he was in trouble. I told him that most hydraulic valve block manufacturers use 5 processes of drilling, reaming, spot facing, reaming and grinding to process the valve holes. The hidden trouble is that in the process of hole reaming and grinding, the expansion of the orifice is not easy to control, and the aperture may not be absolutely consistent. I suggested Sumarokov directly trying AAK samples of the hydraulic valve blocks. Whether AAK can do it well or not, it does not depend by mouth. You can tell by the samples directly. Sumarokov accepted my proposal and paid for the development cost. After 25 days, 40 hydraulic valve blocks were sent out to solve the customer's complaint first. Last week, Sumarokov said in an email that it has been 3 months since AAK hydraulic valve block was installed on the hydraulic tractor, and there is no complaint of leakage. The hydraulic valve block looks simple, but in the processing of valve holes, the processing technology needs to be determined according to different accuracy requirements, not simple drilling, reaming, spot facing, reaming and grinding. AAK is different and lead most hydraulic valve block manufacturers with 3 points. 1. Choose the reamer. For the processing of the valve hole of this hydraulic valve block, we use the reamer made of 50W6MO5G4V2A1 material with hardness of HRC66 instead of the conventional W18Cr4V. 2. In terms of equipment, we use a high-precision machining center imported from Switzerland. The roughness of the processed hydraulic valve block valve hole can reach Ra value of 0.8-0.4�¼m. The ovality circle error and taper error can be controlled within 0.01-0.02mm, and the valve hole size accuracy can be controlled within 0.01mm.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve has a performance of 2 million times, Davis will not change the supplier any more Davis comes from a hydraulic equipment company in the United States. He has cooperated with AAK for 4 years, and it is very smooth. It is strange that since an inquiry of hydraulic pressure control valves in the second half of last year, there has been no new inquiry from him, only the reorders of some hydraulic cartridge valves. At the beginning of August, Davis asked about the production time of 200 hydraulic pressure control valves, and only then did we know that why he did not place orders for new valves for a long time. In the second half of last year, he found a hydraulic valve manufacturer whose price was more than 20% cheaper than that of AAK, so he moved the business to that manufacturer. But now troubles come out one after another, the boss is very dissatisfied, and he is under great pressure. The most troublesome thing is that a three grip electro-hydraulic puller is weak in grasping due to the leakage of the hydraulic pressure control valve. However, the manufacturer of the original hydraulic pressure control valves prevaricated, and the high frequency of use of the equipment caused the wear of the valve body, and even refused to replace the goods. Davis regretted his decision. He caused big trouble for the first time because of the 20% price difference, and had to get back to AAK. In the past 4 years of cooperation with AAK, there was no complaint. In order to help Davis get out of the predicament as soon as possible, we adjusted the production arrangement of the workshop. 2 weeks later, 200 hydraulic pressure control valves were delivered. Davis also sent me the drawings of other valves produced by that manufacturer with lower price, and asked me to be prepared for production. AAK hydraulic pressure control valve is wear-resistant and leak free, ahead of most hydraulic valve manufacturers in 3 aspects, which are also the important points to ensure the performance of 2 million times. 1. In terms of materials, AAK adopts German 20CrNi2MoV high carburized bearing steel. Through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low temperature tempering process, its microhardness is 237 ~ 247HV, and its wear resistance is 3 times higher than that of similar steels. Most hydraulic valve manufacturers may know how to choose materials, but they may not do a good heat treatment. 2. On the equipment, AAK uses the Japanese NP520X-F full-automatic grinder to finish the valve spool. The surface of the processed valve spool is like a mirror with an accuracy of 0.8�¼m, the flexibility of the valve spool is improved by at least 2 times. Most hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturers can not process the same quality valve spool as AAK.
The Mexican manufacturer can't get the hydraulic pressure control valve done, and AAK succeeded in the first sample Bahamonde is from Mexico and has cooperated with AAK on several non-standard hydraulic valves. At the beginning of this year, he was stuck by a hydraulic pressure control valve. A hydraulic crank-type lift developed by their company will appear at the exhibition in July. In order to get the test run successful as early as possible, Bahamonde found a local hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer to make samples. The equipment commissioning was not smooth, and the fluid flow and pressure at the oil outlet of the hydraulic pressure control valve are unstable, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the hydraulic crank-type lift and unstable operation control. The original manufacturer said that the sample was based on the original design. Maybe there are defects in the original design. Bahamonde had contacted several local hydraulic valve manufacturers one after another, but none of them were willing to cooperate in redesigning the hydraulic pressure control valve and making samples. As the exhibition period was about to arrive, Bahamonde was very worried. Bahamonde thought of AAK because we had the experience of modifying their original design before. According to his hydraulic schematic diagram and the design of the original hydraulic pressure control valve, our engineers have a basic idea after discussing, but it takes time. Bahamonde told me that he could give me 50 days at most. After 3 times of design adjustment and 6 times of simulation, a new design scheme was determined. After 45 days, 30 samples of hydraulic pressure control valves were sent out. 2 weeks later, Bahamonde told me that the test was successful, and asked me to wait for the good news of their exhibition. Last week, Bahamonde placed an annual order of 1,200 hydraulic pressure control valves, and also mentioned that their hydraulic crank-type lift was very popular during the exhibition. Their engineers admire our technical team's brainy thinking. AAK made it successful this way: For this hydraulic pressure control valve, we changed the structure of the balance cone valve to the balance plunger type, which can let the pressure, connect the control working port and the pilot control port, control the fluid flow and pressure at the oil inlet, and conduct pilot control at the pilot port. At the same time, the hydraulic pressure control valve acts as the main stage of pressure control. The pilot flow of the valve is very small but the flow capacity is very strong, so the circuit design is flexible. And the newly designed hydraulic pressure control valve can integrate all pressure control circuits with external control functions, such as external control opening, external control closing, multi-stage pressure setting, etc., into the circuit, improving the stability of operation control.
For the valve hole accuracy 1 m hydraulic needle valve, although AAK is 20% more expensive, its service life is twice that of its peers At the beginning of this year, Samuel asked by email about the production time of 1,000 hydraulic needle valves, He specially emphasized that the technical parameters of the hydraulic needle valves need to be the same as those samples made before, especially the valve hole accuracy must be 100% within 1 m or less. Samuel has been cooperating with AAK for 3 years. It is the first time that he deliberately emphasized as such in email. After communication, I learned that the hydraulic needle valves that AAK made samples for last time was 20% higher than that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers, so he placed the order with another manufacturer. However, now this batch of hydraulic needle valves have been complained by customers that the hydraulic winch is stuck. The root cause is that the accuracy of the hydraulic needle valve holes is uneven, and some are less than 1 m, and some higher than 1 m. After the original hydraulic needle valves were replaced by the manufacturer, complaints still continued. The boss was very dissatisfied with Samuel's purchase this time and asked him to source another hydraulic needle valve supplier. Samuel can only get back to AAK, because the sample accuracy of AAK hydraulic needle valve hole was 1 m or less. I told Samuel that the shipment of AAK hydraulic needle valves has never been lower than the sample standard. The next day, Samuel sent us the PO of 1,000 hydraulic needle valves. After 45 days, AAK delivered 1,000 hydraulic needle valves. Last week, Samuel sent an email saying that AAK hydraulic needle valves had been installed on the equipment for more than half a year, and no complaint was received. His boss would rather spend 20% more cost and must purchase the hydraulic needle valves with valve hole accuracy 1 m for 100%. I told him that even if AAK hydraulic needle valve is used properly in another year, it will not get stuck. Samuel was surprised at how AAK ensured 100% accuracy of the hydraulic needle valve hole within 1 m? For the control of the manufacturing quality of hydraulic needle valves, AAK's 3 characteristics lead the majority of hydraulic valve manufacturers. 1. On the processing equipment, the valve hole is finished with the TAMIX one-time tool walking high-speed ultra precision honing mill imported from Japan, which is thoroughly ground without traces. In mass production, the wear-resistant SPA tool effectively ensures the stability of processing, and the valve hole accuracy is guaranteed to be 0.8-1.0 m and the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2-0.3. 2. In the processing process, AAK has more than 10 years of experienced technicians with special machines and special personnel, who have engraved the dimensional accuracy of each element in their minds.
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.
Adhere to the 3 working habits for 24 years, the growth of AAK Hydraulic Valves In the workplace, 90% of people leave the computer, and their brain is blank. This is very fatal and it is difficult to grow into a person who is in charge. In AAK Hydraulic Valve, if colleagues are in such a state, they need to be criticized. Some people are very curious about how my brain can hold so many things. I have been working for 24 years, and 3 working habits have always been with me. As long as you persist in doing so, your brain can also search or screen at will like a computer. Whether you are an industrial product manufacturer such as hydraulic valves or a non manufacturing enterprise, it can be used. The first habit is punctuality, and we should respect time. I don't like waiting for others, so I made up my mind not to let others wait for me. Even if there is an emergency, don't let people wait too long. For example, when I make an appointment to meet at 8:00, my instruction to the brain is to meet at 7:50. I don't like to be late. When I first joined the work, the company stipulated that I should go to work at 8:30. At this time, there are a circle of people around the punch card. Some of them are still sweating. I don't understand. I set myself a working time of 8:10, which means I have 20 minutes of leisure. I spent 15 minutes to review yesterday's events and 5 minutes to sort today's events. I have a regular schedule every day, such as what time to get up in the morning and what to do at what time to avoid the first thing delaying the second thing and the second thing delaying the third thing. The second habit is taking notes. I will write down what I learned today and what I gained. A bad pen is better than a good memory. You can't remember it with your brain alone. People remember more than you do. That's because they use more pens than you do. For example, when we do hydraulic valve design or programming, we often need to learn some tools or methods, relevant books or documents, which are unified in a fixed folder, and summarize the basic points of the tools or methods. For example, I need to file on the same day how to solve the difficult problems of the hydraulic valves raised by the customers or the hidden quality problems of the hydraulic valves in the workshop. Otherwise, I will basically forget about them next time. I insist on taking notes. There are already 6 thick books. I write on them what problems I have encountered one day, one month, one year, how I did the first step, the second step and the third step, and my experience. In my spare time, I'll look through it. Some can be extended. The third habit is to make a weekly list. If necessary, the four quadrant rule of time management shall be followed.
AAK hydraulic relief valves with large flow was intact after 1 year, Patrick never dared to move orders again Patrick is from a Dutch hydraulic equipment manufacturing company. Since the beginning of last year, the order of a high-precision and large flow hydraulic relief valve has been tossed for more than half a year, and finally he had to return to AAK to place the order. At the beginning of last year, Patrick sent an inquiry for 30 hydraulic relief valves. 3 days after AAK's quotation, Patrick placed the sample order, but there was no reply after the hydraulic relief valve samples were sent. It was not until the beginning of last month, that is, more than half a year later, Patrick sent an e-mail asking whether each hydraulic relief valve in the regular order could guarantee the same quality as the sample? I felt something was wrong. After several rounds of e-mail communication, I learned that Patrick gave the regular order to another hydraulic relief valve manufacturer, and the price was more than 15% cheaper than AAK. However, after 8 months, the main valve spools of some hydraulic relief valves were worn, resulting in loose fitting of valve body holes and even grooves, resulting in failure to raise the pressure of the equipment system. According to the feedback of the original hydraulic valve manufacturer, this hydraulic relief valve has large flow, high frequency of use, high accuracy of valve hole, and wear is normal. 2 months later, more and more complaints were received, but the original manufacturer surrendered and asked Patrick to source other hydraulic relief valve manufacturers. Patrick was a little scared and had to go back to AAK. Because the AAK hydraulic relief valves used in the original design equipment has not been abnormal for more than 1 year, it would be better to choose AAK even if the price is more expensive for 15%. If the hydraulic relief valves with large flow need to have high accuracy and be durable for more than 1 year, or more than 2 million times, the material selection, processing and quality awareness are indispensable. For the hydraulic valve manufacturers who can guarantee these 3 points at the same time, you may not find a third one in Ningbo. 1. AAK has American high-precision CNC honing machine tools. The surface roughness after honing is less than Ra0.8 and the cylindricity can reach 0.5m. Axis straightness can reach 1�¼m. It is especially suitable for finishing the valve hole of large flow hydraulic relief valves. The processing aperture range is 5-500mm, and the depth diameter ratio can reach 10. For large flow hydraulic relief valves with large aperture, most hydraulic valve manufacturers can only reach 2-3m. 2. According to the large flow rate of this model, after 2 weeks of comparative testing, AAK has determined the German 20CrNi2MoV high-carbon bearing steel as the main material of the valve body.
Many hydraulic valve manufacturers can't make hydraulic relief valves with a fixed length diameter ratio of 11:1, AAK solved it with 3 points The processing difficulty of hydraulic relief valves with deep hole is a pain point in the industry. The greater the length diameter ratio, the greater the difficulty. Pablo, an American Hydraulic customer, has recently been besieged by an order for hydraulic relief valves with a length diameter ratio of 11:1. The original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer confirmed that the processing quality could be guaranteed during the quotation. However, in the actual proofing, it could not overcome the difficulty of deep hole. 3 proofs and 3 failures wasted 8 weeks. However, his customer had been pushing for the samples, and Pablo was in a dilemma. Pablo had to find new hydraulic relief valve manufacturers. Within 2 days, he contacted nearly 30 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. All of them said that they can only produce hydraulic relief valves with a length diameter ratio of 5:1. Pablo realized that trouble was coming and was worried. Pablo learned that his friend Caleb purchased high-precision hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK, so he contacted us. According to the e-mail instructions and drawings of hydraulic relief valve sent by Pablo, the parameter requirements are high, that is, the tensile strength of hydraulic relief valve is 300N/cm�², the compressive strength is 540N/cm�², the clearance between the valve hole and the valve body is between 0.005 and 0.015mm, and the valve hole diameter is between �¦10~�¦41mm, the length of the valve body is 70mm, the maximum length diameter ratio is 11:1, and the dimensional accuracy of the valve hole is H6 ~ H7. When I saw the requirements of this hydraulic relief valve, I knew that most hydraulic valve manufacturers could not process it. Even if it is processed, its accuracy is a hidden danger. After internal discussion of AAK technical team, I replied to Pablo that AAK could send samples of hydraulic relief valves in 3 weeks, and the parameters could meet the requirements of the drawings. I felt Pablo's skepticism. Maybe the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer also said like this but did not do it. He repeatedly emphasized the processing of the length diameter ratio and the accuracy requirements. After 20 days, AAK sent 6 samples of hydraulic relief valves. Pablo approved AAK hydraulic relief valve samples on the 5th day after receiving the samples. At the same time, he is curious that the original manufacturer failed in making samples of this hydraulic relief valve with the length diameter ratio of 11:1 for 3 times, but AAK succeeded at one time. The reason why AAK can produce the hydraulic relief valves with a large length diameter ratio mainly due to the following 3 points: 1. The long drill bit of W12Cr4V4Mo high-performance high-speed steel is selected to replace the conventional carbon tool steel drill bit.
