Simulation of a simple hydraulic circuit for cylinder extension and retraction using a fixed displacement pump and a closed center directional control valve.
Simple Hydraulic Circuit Simulation
The Basics of Hydraulics
Understanding the basic principles of hydraulics and how everything comes together in order to make machines be able to move heavy loads. We can start by understanding Pascal's law and pressure. See video below.
Gear pump
How does a hydraulic gear pump work? Where is the actual tearing and wearing of the pump and why would you eventually have to change it. By the way, it is always a good idea to maintain clean oil for good preventive maintenance, search for "ISO 4406" in the search bar for maintenance videos.
Pilot operated crossover check valves
Here is a hydraulic circuit schematic for a crossover hydraulic check valve system. This is an example on when and why you should use a crossover check on your hydraulic machinery.
Variable displacement vane pump catalog
This is a catalog for hydraulic variable displacement pumps from Technical Union.

What is hydraulic
What is hydaulics? Why would hydraulics never die? What are some of the applications? This is a personal view of the hydraulic industry from Edgar Lindo.
Off line filtration for hydraulics
If you ever wonder how to properly size an off line filtration unit to properly take care of your hydraulic machinery, then here is how you can do it and why an off line filtration system is one of the most efficient filters you can install.
