Find Verified Hydraulic Counterbalance Valves Benchmark Sun Suppliers, Manufacturers and Wholesalers

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.

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.

AAK's 3 tips to ensure that the Proportional Valve is free of jamming, winning the affirmation of customers in Turkey Ewalz is from Turkey, and mainly purchases standard parts of hydraulic cartridge valves from Ningbo China. Recently, they developed a hydraulic manifold that requires the use of SUN proportional valves. He purchased it from a proportional valve manufacturer in Ningbo, and after 2 weeks of operation, the equipment experienced significant vibration. The on-site engineer found that the proportional valve was severely stuck. The original hydraulic valve manufacturer stated that this proportional valve is a replica of SUN, with fully calibrated parameters, but there are differences in performance. Ewalz was speechless and had to look for a new hydraulic valve manufacturer for this proportional valve. Ewalz browsed the AAK hydraulic valve website, stayed for nearly 15 minutes and left a message: 1. Does AAK have an existing program for benchmarking SUN proportional valves? 2. Can AAK completely solve the problem of valve spool jamming, vibration and noise? After communication, it was learned that the hydraulic manifold they developed was very tight on time, they had no time to customize it and could only choose the existing SUN proportional valve. The proportional valve produced by the original valve manufacturer has the same function as SUN, but has poor performance. This SUN proportional valve is widely used, and AAK have a record of 6 shipments last year. There has never been any jamming of the valve spool, and we have inventory, which fully meets his requirements. 2 weeks after AAK sent the SUN proportional valve samples, Ewalz informed us via email that the hydraulic manifold debugging was successful. 2 months later, Ewalz informed us that their engineers were satisfied with the AAK proportional valve. The root cause of unsatisfactory performance of the original valve manufacturer's SUN proportional valve lies in its accuracy. The vast majority of proportional valve manufacturers have a cylindricity machining accuracy greater than 5um, which is 70% lower than the SUN standard cylindricity. For the accuracy of proportional valves that is completely in line with the SUN standard parts, there are probably less than 3 hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo China. AAK controls the accuracy of the proportional valve from 3 aspects: 1. AAK proportional valve spool control: The valve spool is produced using a German CNC lathe with one blade and then high-precision cylindrical grinding. The machining error is controlled within �± 1um, and the coaxiality and cylindricity are controlled within 3um. 2. AAK proportional valve hole control: Adopting Swiss honing processing, the accuracy can reach IT6-IT7 level, and the surface roughness can reach Ra0.2-0.025um.

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 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. Operating Pressure: 350 bar (5000 psi) Flow: 240 L (60 gpm) Internal Leakage: 5 drops/min Pilot Ratio: 4.5:1 Temperature: - 30 to +100 �°C (with Standard Buna N seals) Cavity: T-17A Fluids: Mineral based or synthetic hydraulic fluid with lubricating properties Fluid Viscosity Range: 7.4 to 420 cSt AAK E-CBGG hydraulic counterbalance valve, equivalent to SUN CBGG, and the service life is 2 times of its domestic peers. You are welcome to try an order with us.

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.

According to the financial dept this morning, there was a sample fee for hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves. I knew it was from ROQUET company in Spain. One year ago, Domingo in their company had a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve that needed AAK to make samples, but was unwilling to pay $2,000 of the sampling fee. The original factory didn't need them to pay, so they chose that factory to produce this hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve. Last week, Domingo came to me again to ask if there was time for sampling and they would pay the sampling fee. After communication, it was learned that the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves shipped by the original factory were used in the hydraulic power unit. Less than half a year, it was reported for repair by the customer. It is easy to have insufficient power supply of the hydraulic system during the construction process. The after-sales engineer found that the wear of the valve spool of the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves led to leakage. He had to use the alternative pilot-operated relief valves first and asked Domingo to contact the original manufacturer to solve the problem. The original manufacturer reported that the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves had not been worn for more than 1 year previously. The working pressure is more than 450bar this time. The domestic hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves can only have a service life of half a year. If you want to find a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve with a service life of more than 1 year, you can only buy it from HAWE in Germany. They are the best manufacturer of hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves with high pressure resistance in the world, but the price is estimated to be more than twice that of Chinese manufacturers. Domingo was a little helpless and asked the boss whether to purchase directly from HAWE in Germany or continue to look for hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve manufacturers in China. Because the alternative hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves were used on the construction site, they still had a 6-month buffer period. The boss asked him to look for the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves under high pressure at the same time. At this moment, he thought of AAK. When I told him that the key point of the service life of this hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve is to resist high pressure, AAK has an engineer who has worked in HAWE Shanghai factory for 8 years, our production of high-pressure hydraulic valves is just to benchmark with that of German HAWE company, he seems to realize that perhaps AAK can sample a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve with a service life of more than 1 year this time. AAK replied that it could complete the samples of 12 hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves within 1 month, and the warranty was more than 1 year. Domingo remitted the sample fee of US$2,000 the next day.

AAK uses the DMG five axis machining center imported from Germany, which improves the stability and accuracy by 30%. Less than 5% of the hydraulic valve block manufacturers in the domestic industry are equipped with this set of equipment. After suffering losses elsewhere, an American customer went back to AAK after 45 days to place the order for hydraulic valve blocks. Last December, I received an inquiry from American customer Joshua about a hydraulic valve block. At that time, I was a little surprised to see the accuracy requirements of the hydraulic valve block. The accuracy was 5% higher than that of HydraForce series. This was not a small challenge, but I was still confident. The next day, I sent quotation to Joshua directly. Joshua then said that it was 12% higher compared with other hydraulic valve block manufacturers, he could not place an order with AAK. After 45 days, Joshua asked us whether the last quotation of hydraulic valve block was still valid. If the original price is maintained, he will place the order for the hydraulic valve block. For the sincerity of cooperation, Joshua also frankly told why he moved the hydraulic valve block order to AAK. The original hydraulic valve block manufacturer made samples for two times, and the parameters of each hydraulic valve block were not very stable. Some hydraulic valve block sample had very good accuracy, while others were very poor, which wasted 3 weeks of time. Joshua also checked with other manufacturers. All of them are not confident to achieve the accuracy that is 5% higher than that of HydraForce series. Another 2 weeks were wasted again. The customer was very angry that the order has been placed for 5 weeks, but the sample of the hydraulic valve block still could not be approved. Joshua felt that only AAK can make the sample successfully at one time. Even if it is 12% more expensive, it is acceptable. Aware of Joshua's dilemma, we specially spare a high-precision DMG five axis machining center lathe to arrange the proofing of this hydraulic valve block. A week later, AAK sent the hydraulic valve block samples. After 10 days, there was still no feedback from Joshua about the hydraulic valve block samples. We asked Joshua to know that he was also waiting nervously. Until Joshua's email last week, we know that his customer was very surprised that the accuracy of this hydraulic valve block sample not only exceeded 5% that of the HydraForce series, but the parameter stability of AAK hydraulic valve block was also more than 30% higher than that last time. Frankly, we were not surprised by this data, because more than one customer was surprised by the accuracy parameters of AAK hydraulic valve blocks. The reason why the accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve block exceeds 5% of HydraForce series is that it firstly benefits from the continuous updating of the equipment. When the vast majority of hydraulic valve block

AAK customized hydraulic counterbalance valve replaced SUN, making Nancy win double the year-end bonus Nancy comes from a hydraulic equipment company in the United States. In October last year, they developed a hydraulic power unit that used a hydraulic counterbalance valve. Nancy purchased the standard parts of SUN hydraulics counterbalance valve according to the model required by the engineer. During the commissioning of the hydraulic power unit, the oil cylinder shook and made abnormal noise shortly after the equipment was started. After checking the design principle and installation method, the engineer judged that the problem probably lied in the hydraulic counterbalance valve. They asked to replace it with a new hydraulic counterbalance valve, but SUN after-sales personnel said that there would be no problem with the SUN hydraulic counterbalance valve and were unwilling to replace it. The engineer tested the hydraulic counterbalance valve separately, and the parameters were also normal. The technical team was confused. The promotion date of the new equipment was coming, but the machine test was stuck now, and the boss was also very anxious. Nancy tried to consult with different hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers, but after a week, there was no progress. She found AAK on Google and left a message to us: After using SUN hydraulic counterbalance valve, the equipment commissioning was abnormal, but no abnormality was found in the separate test of hydraulic counterbalance valve. At first glance, there seems to be no solution. Our engineer suggested Nancy to provide working condition requirements, hydraulic schematic diagram and equipment abnormal video. After discussion, AAK technical team judged that there was a problem with the flow selection of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. I told her that the flow difference of the cylinder diameter ratio of their power unit was 2.3 : 1. Although this ratio could be used for the standard parts of SUN hydraulic counterbalance valve, its stability was difficult to be guaranteed. This was the reason why the oil cylinder vibrated and made abnormal noise during the test run. Their engineers also recognized the reasoning of AAK technical team and asked AAK to customize standard two-way hydraulic counterbalance valves with appropriate flow. 45 days later, AAK sent 20 hydraulic counterbalance valves for test order. 2 weeks later, Nancy informed by email that the test run was successful with AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves, and the oil cylinder jitter and abnormal noise were disappeared, which could also catch up with the promotion of the equipment. Purchased a hydraulic counterbalance valve with unsuitable flow, no one in the company could solve the problem. It was solved by using AAK non-standard customized hydraulic counterbalance valves.

Bill is a purchaser of Manitowoc company in the United States. Two years ago, AAK received an inquiry about hydraulic counterbalance valves from him, and there were few contacts later. Unexpectedly, two years later, we received an email from him consulting about the problems of the hydraulic counterbalance valves. After communication, we learned that a batch of hydraulic counterbalance valves he purchased elsewhere had problems and almost got into a big trouble. Last summer, a crane shipped by their company, the crane winch system lost control during construction and the hook slipped off. Fortunately, there was no one under the hook at that time, otherwise there would be great trouble. According to the analysis of the field engineer, it is considered that the hydraulic counterbalance valve used in the crane winch system is abnormal. After disassembling the hydraulic counterbalance valve, it is found that there is a deviation in the concentricity between the valve spool and the valve seat. The valve spool is affected by large eccentric hydraulic force, so that the hydraulic counterbalance valve lost its function of balance and the hook slipped off. After knowing the reason, Bill contacted the original hydraulic counterbalance valve supplier. The supplier replied that the hydraulic counterbalance valves were indeed within the warranty period, he can replace the abnormal hydraulic counterbalance valves with a new ones, but can not guarantee that each hydraulic counterbalance valve had the same concentricity and could be used for more than 1 year. Bill was worried about the stability of the new hydraulic counterbalance valves. He didn't want to have big trouble and had to find a new hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturer. In crane hydraulic system, the performance of hydraulic counterbalance valve is the cornerstone of winch system, and the consistency of hydraulic counterbalance valve concentricity is the key. Bill also asked other hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers. No factory guarantees that the concentricity of the hydraulic counterbalance valve can be still consistent after 1 year of use. Bill wants to know how about the concentricity of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves after being used for 1 year. We told Bill that perhaps having a try is the best answer. He can detect the concentricity of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves in an all-round way. After 15 days, we sent 4 samples of hydraulic counterbalance valves according to his drawings. Seven days later, Bill informed us that the concentricity test data of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves were indeed more comprehensive than that of his original manufacturer. How to ensure that the concentricity of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves is still consistent after 1 year of use? For some manufacturers, when processing the components of hydraulic counterbalance valves, there are discrepancies between the specification parameters and design,

Recently, I received the second re-order of a hydraulic pressure reducing valve from French client Chinning. I still remember when I first met Chinning in 2020, Chinning purchased hydraulic pressure reducing valves in a hydraulic valve factory and encountered quality complaints from her customers. The hydraulic pressure reducing valve was deformed in less than 3 months, and some valve spools and valve sleeves were seriously worn. More and more customers began to return goods, and the old suppliers did not cooperate with her work. Chinning had a big headache at that time, and the owner kept putting pressure on her to find a hydraulic valve manufacturer with exquisite quality as soon as possible. Chinning did not find a new hydraulic valve manufacturer very smoothly. Because her hydraulic pressure reducing valve had a special use scenario and required high hardness of materials, it was unbearable for ordinary factories. At the same time, under the environmental protection policy of 2019, many previous heat treatment and processing factories were shut down, so the supply supporting system was disrupted, and the heat treatment and processing of many hydraulic valve manufacturers could not keep up. how does AAK ensure the service life of hydraulic valve products We didn't answer directly, but asked her if the hydraulic valves you purchased had the problem of deformation and rapid wear. She also replied quite frankly that she should find a hydraulic valve manufacturer that paid attention to the service life of hydraulic valves in the fastest time. I sent her several samples of hydraulic pressure reducing valve and told her that different parts of our hydraulic pressure reducing valve have different material hardness standards, and some could reach about 50-55HRC or higher. There is even no problem with 65HCR with special requirements. The service life of hydraulic pressure reducing valve is our hard index. More than one week after we sent out the samples of hydraulic pressure reducing valve, we received Chinning's email, including the drawings of hydraulic pressure reducing valve and the hardness requirements for various components. She asked whether we could produce this hydraulic pressure reducing valve? I told her that his hydraulic pressure reducing valve is not difficult, but just the working scene is some special. As long as the heat treatment process is a little unique, it could ensure her requirements. The long service life of hydraulic valve is the most critical.

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.
