Knowra Hydraulic manifold Hydraulic manifold A component with interconnected passages and mounting surfaces that distributes hydraulic fluid among pumps, valves, actuators, and other circuit elements. It can combine connections and control components in a compact assembly.
Hydraulic circuit : An arrangement of hydraulic components that controls fluid flow to transmit power or perform work. The manifold forms the shared routing structure within a hydraulic circuit.
Hydraulics : The use of pressurized liquid to transmit force and control motion. Hydraulic manifolds are built to route liquid power between circuit components.
Monoblock valve : A hydraulic directional valve whose control sections are housed together in one cast body. A monoblock integrates valve sections, whereas a manifold commonly provides passages and mounting interfaces for separate components.
Hydraulic hose : A flexible reinforced tube designed to convey hydraulic fluid under pressure. Hoses route fluid flexibly between components; manifolds route it through rigid internal passages.
Hydraulic leakage : Unintended escape of hydraulic fluid from a system through seals, joints, cracks, or component interfaces. Fewer external joints can reduce leak paths, though manifold interfaces and seals remain potential sources.
Hydraulic port : An opening that connects a hydraulic component to a fluid passage or external line. Ports are the manifold’s interfaces for fluid entering, leaving, or reaching mounted components.
Hydraulic pump : A machine that moves hydraulic fluid and supplies flow to a hydraulic system. Pump flow commonly enters the manifold for distribution to controlled branches.
Hydraulic power unit : An assembly that supplies hydraulic power, typically combining a reservoir, pump, motor, and controls. A manifold organizes the circuit connections within many hydraulic power units.
Hydraulic tubing : Rigid or semi-rigid tube used to convey pressurized hydraulic fluid between components. Tubing provides external connections, while a manifold consolidates multiple routes inside a block.
Cavitation : The formation and collapse of vapor cavities in a liquid when local pressure falls sufficiently low. Poorly designed passages can create local low pressure and damage manifold-connected components.
