Hydraulic Motion Controls

Hydraulic motion control systems offer several advantages over other motion control systems, such as electric or pneumatic systems. They are more powerful, can operate at higher pressures, and can provide more precise and consistent control. They are also more durable and can withstand harsh environments and heavy loads. 

Lifting and Lowering Heavy Loads: Hydraulic systems can be used to lift and lower heavy objects, such as in cranes, elevators, and forklifts. 

Pushing and Pulling: Great for generating a great deal of force, making them ideal for pushing and pulling applications, such as with bulldozers, excavators, and hydraulic presses. 

Rotating: You can use them to rotate mechanical components, such as in hydraulic motors, winches, and rotary actuators. 

Braking: Hydraulic systems can be used to apply brakes to moving components, such as in braking systems for cars and trucks. 

Steering: Control the steering of vehicles, such as heavy trucks and construction equipment. 

Controlling the Movement of Fluids: Control the flow of fluids, such as in pipelines and water treatment plants. 

Controlling the Movement of Air: Hydraulic systems can also be used to control the movement of air, such as in air compressors and pneumatic tools. 

Hydraulic Hose Assemblies

Hydraulic hoses from John Henry Foster are designed to withstand high pressure and transfer hydraulic fluid from one component to another, such as from a hydraulic pump to a hydraulic cylinder or motor. We stock an assortment of hydraulic hoses, ranging from small, one-braid hoses to 2-inch, six spiral hoses, and even thermal plastic hoses. Additionally, we offer a range of hose ends for hydraulic hoses, which include both field attachable and crimp ends. 

System Design

Our expert hydraulic and design engineers will design, analyze, and optimize the performance of your hydraulic systems.  

System Design: This involves designing the hydraulic system to meet the specific needs of your application, considering factors such as operating pressure, flow rate, and the type of hydraulic fluid being used. 

Component Selection: Hydraulic systems are made up of several components, such as pumps, motors, valves, and cylinders. Selecting the appropriate components for the system is critical to ensuring its efficiency and reliability. We can help. 

Analysis and Modeling: We analyze performance and optimize the design of your hydraulic system using mathematical models, state-of-the-art software, and simulation tools. 

Testing and Validation: Once the hydraulic system has been designed and built, our specialists will test and validate function and performance to ensure it meets your required specifications and operates safely and reliably. 

Preventative Maintenance

Hydraulic failures can be attributed to many factors. Regardless of the reason, these failures often result in damage to expensive system components and can create workplace hazards. Our experts will ensure proper preventative maintenance and early detection of any issues, minimizing costly downtime and more importantly, safeguarding your working environment. 

Our Preventative Maintenance Program includes: 

• Free initial equipment review 
• Factory-trained and certified technicians 
• All brands and types of hydraulic components and system brands 
• Pre-scheduled visits for your convenience 
• Time and material or flat rate billing available
