Other Machine Accessories: Gas Springs, Power Units, and Mechanics

Indispensable Accessories for Machine Building

Building a functional machine or hydraulic device involves more than just selecting the main components (pump, cylinder, valve). For stable operation, moving covers, fluid storage, and power transmission, numerous "other" parts are needed. The "Other Machine Accessories" category at Hidraulika Store acts as a "joker" for machine builders and maintenance personnel: here you will find the mechanical, electronic, and power unit elements that connect and complete the system, from gas springs to oil tanks.

Hydraulic Power Units and Oil Tanks

The foundation of a hydraulic system is a properly sized power unit and fluid storage.

• Power Units (Mini Power Packs): Compact units integrated with motors for smaller, intermittent machines (e.g., tail lifts).

• Oil Tanks: The tank not only stores the oil but also cools it and settles contaminants. Our selection includes robust steel and lightweight aluminum tanks. Weight reduction and corrosion resistance are particularly important in mobile hydraulics (e.g., trucks, cranes). For this purpose, our most sought-after solution is the Oil Tank for Mobile Application - 120 Liter - Alu - With Filter, which offers a complete solution: lightweight aluminum design, with a built-in return line filter and mounting brackets, ready for immediate installation.

Mechanics: Gas Springs and Fastening

Mechanical accessories make machines user-friendly and stable.

• Gas Springs: These hydropneumatic elements assist in the effortless opening and safe holding open of heavy doors, hoods, windows, or service hatches. We offer solutions for both industrial and automotive use in various lengths and extension forces (N).

• Fastening and Drive: We offer high-strength socket head screws for secure machine element connection, keys for shaft connections, and premium Gates and Optibelt belts for drive systems.

Electronics and Lubrication

Hydraulic control is now inseparable from electronics, and machine longevity depends on lubrication.

• Electronics: We offer electric switches, cables, and connectors for the professional wiring of valves and sensors.

• Lubrication System: To protect moving parts, we provide grease nipples and lubrication accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size oil tank should I choose for my system? As a rule of thumb, for industrial machines, the tank volume should be approx. 1.5 to 3 times the pump's flow rate per minute (l/min). In mobile applications where space is limited, this ratio can be smaller, but ensuring proper cooling (e.g., by using an aluminum tank) is important.

• How do I measure a gas spring for replacement? Always measure the gas spring in the fully extended state. Two main figures are needed: the total length between the centers of the mounting points (eyes) and the extension force, which is usually found printed on the side of the gas spring in "Newtons" (N).

• What is included in the complete mobile oil tank? Our aluminum tank mentioned above, for example, includes the tank body itself, the necessary straps/brackets for mounting, the filler-breather cap, and a built-in return line filter, so you don't have to select these separately.
