A Hydraulic manifold block is a modular hydraulic component consisting of a set of pipelines and connectors that can control the flow within a distributed hydraulic system, integrating and assembling hydraulic equipment. The manifold block works by directing fluid along the correct path, bringing high-pressure fluid to actuators for pushing various working loads.
Usually manufactured through casting or machining, hydraulic manifold blocks connect hydraulic oil flow channels and coupling with suitable closed operation for switching on/off via different functional components. In use, fluid enters the manifold block from the supply source inlet channel and flows through various channels before exiting at the outlet channel. By controlling the flow rate and pause time between channels, various directional motions can be achieved.
Hydraulic manifold blocks contain many types of unidirectional, bidirectional, and multidirectional valves, check valves, and safety valves to control flow and pressure, which can flexibly interconnect with each other in the manifold block, forming various flow and Pressure control circuits and manual or automatic control systems. They can be replaced and adjusted to suit a wide range of hydraulic equipment applications as needed. As they are compact in structure, low in cost, and easy to install, they have been widely used in most Hydraulic Systems.
