Hydraulic systems engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with designing, developing, analyzing and optimizing mechanical power transmission systems using hydraulic principles and technology. Engineers in this field can work in many areas where hydraulic systems are used in a variety of industrial applications.
Here are the key points of hydraulic system engineering:
1.Design and Development: Hydraulic systems engineers design and develop systems that include hydraulic power units, valves, pumps, cylinders and other components. This is done in accordance with customer needs and application requirements.
2.Analysis and Simulation: During the design process, engineers often use analysis and simulation techniques to evaluate the performance of hydraulic systems. This includes evaluating the systems' operating conditions, power transfer, pressure distribution and other factors.
3. Material Selection and Durability Analysis: Hydraulic system engineers select the materials to be used in system components and conduct durability analyses. This is important for the reliability and longevity of the systems.
4.Testing and Verification: Testing processes are carried out to verify the performance of the designed hydraulic systems. These tests are usually performed in a laboratory environment or under real-world conditions to ensure that systems provide the expected performance.
5.Legislation and Standards: Hydraulic system engineers take into consideration the relevant legislation and industry standards during the design process. This is important for the security, performance and compatibility of systems.
6.Process Improvement and Optimization: Hydraulic systems engineers constantly work to improve and optimize the performance of existing systems. This is done to increase energy efficiency, reduce maintenance requirements and increase system reliability.
HİDROMAN specialist engineering and unit and system manufacturing centres provide the full range of services expected of a system provider, from layout of hydraulic systems through to installation and commissioning.
These services are made available through the network of Hidroman branches. In coordination with the specialist engineering and unit and system manufacturing centres, the branches are able to arrange production and delivery of the fluid technology systems and units required quickly and flexibly. Moreover, the branch network offers customers a local partner to coordinate all the work, minimize interfaces and provide ongoing support as a service partner for the subsequent operations phase. Direct access to the central components stores enables fast delivery times to be met.
1.Understanding Basic Hydraulic Principles: It is important to understand the operating principles of hydraulic systems and basic concepts such as pressure, flow rate and fluid behavior. This provides a fundamental understanding of the design, analysis and troubleshooting of systems.
2.Technology and Equipment Knowledge: It is important to know the features and functions of components such as hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, accumulators. It is necessary to have extensive knowledge for the selection and integration of equipment suitable for different applications.
3.Design Skills: The ability to design, develop and optimize hydraulic systems is important. This involves designing systems to suit customer requirements and selecting appropriate components.
4.Analytical Abilities: The ability to use mathematical and physical models to analyze the performance of hydraulic systems is important. This is a skill required to evaluate the reliability, efficiency and compatibility of systems.
5.Maintenance and Troubleshooting Capabilities: Regular maintenance of hydraulic systems and the ability to respond quickly in case of malfunction are critical. The ability to identify and resolve problems that affect the operation of systems is important.
6.Innovation and Continuous Learning: The technology of hydraulic systems is constantly evolving. Therefore, it is important to follow innovations in the industry and constantly gain new information. It is important to work with an open mind to generate creative solutions and continuous improvement.
7.Communication and Collaboration: Hydraulic systems are often part of complex projects and require working with people from different disciplines. Good communication and collaboration skills help complete projects successfully and work effectively within a team.
Specialists provide customer support and advice. Technical specifications are clarified and optimum solutions devised in close communication. The drive system and consumption costs can be optimally matched. The use of in-stock hydraulic components means optimum service can also be provided when it comes to exchanging wearing parts.
Technical drawings are quickly produced. All components are available as 3D data records, and can be interlinked as needed. Design data is provided for integration into customers’ drawings with no loss of valuable time.
Short-notice customer modifications can be quickly integrated into the development and production process. The state-of-the-art machinery portfolio and direct access to extensive hydraulic component stores comprising over 4,000 items, as well as the deployment of 700 bar technology, enables fast delivery time of between four and six weeks. The range of services also includes the design and manufacture of hydraulic cylinders.
The units and cylinders are customized to customers’ specification in design and finish. State-of-the-art test rigs subject them to the most rigorous of testing, before they are ultimately delivered to their destination ready to install. Including in small-lot production runs.
