A hydraulic manifold is simply a block of metal with pressure inlets, service ports and low pressure outlets, onto which or into which other valves are attached.
Knowing how each component works and interacts is essential to understanding hydraulic systems. 

Interesting Facts About Hydraulic Gear Pumps

Hydraulic gear pumps are ideal for mobile hydraulic system applications like agricultural equipment, construction equipment etc.  A gear pump gets its name because there are two rotating gears that mesh with one another as they turn within the body of the pump.
 

4 Causes of Hydraulic Parts Wear

When conducting hydraulic system maintenance, it is essential to watch out for several different causes of hydraulic parts wear. Over time, parts do wear out and will need to be replaced. The sooner you can recognize wear and replace the parts, the better off it will be since you will not have to deal with an unexpected system failure later.
 

Hydraulic Cylinder Troubleshooting: 4 Tips to Avoid Hydraulic Cylinder Failure

Hydraulic systems that use hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic cylinder parts can be extremely powerful and can do work that would otherwise be very difficult to do manually—for instance, cutting through dense rock in a mine or lifting hundreds of tons of steel to build a skyscraper.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting of Hydraulic Systems: Improving Hydraulic System Reliability

All types of industries rely on hydraulic systems to perform specific types of work and functions to keep their businesses running smoothly. When something goes wrong, whether it is a pump failure or other problem, it can lead to costly downtimes and expensive repairs.
