When it comes to fluid power occasionally you require a bit--or even much more pressure than your primary pump is able to deliver. This is where the Pressure intensifier that is driven by hydraulics is a must. This innovative device is a unique piece of equipment that's designed to boost the pressure of fluid within the hydraulic system to meet specific needs, usually without the need for an entirely new, better-rated principal power device.

Applications in the Hydraulic Industry

Pressure intensifiers are an efficient and economical solution to generate high pressure, particularly for small or irregular processes. They are widely used in different segments of the hydraulic industry:

1. Waterjet Cutting and Cleaning

  • Application: Waterjet cutting uses a very concentrated stream of water with pressures typically exceeding the pressure of 4,000 bar (58,000 psi) to cut through materials such as stone, metal, and composite.

  • The role of the intensifier An intensifier forms at the central component of the ultra-high-pressure generation system. It increases the pressure of hydraulics in a shop to levels that are extremely high necessary for efficient cutting.

2. Press and Clamping Systems

  • Applications: For molding forging and machining centers high-pressure is frequently required to speed up the action of powerful, fast locking mechanisms or Hydroforming processes.

  • Intensifier's Role: It permits the use of tiny compact cylinders for clamping which can produce enormous force from the high pressure, which saves area and decreasing energy use in comparison to very large, high-pressure cylinders.

3. Proof and Burst Testing

  • Application Parts such as hoses and pipelines, vessels for pressure and valves need to be inspected to make sure they are able to endure extreme pressures for failure or operating.

  • Intensifier's Role: They are utilized in testing equipment to accurately and safely create the ultra-high pressure controlled and controlled needed to conduct hydrostatic proofing or tests using bursts without requiring a large continuous, continuously-running high-pressure pump.

4. Specialized Tooling and Actuators

  • Application-specific industrial devices such as high-force riveters, crimpers or rescue equipment require regular bursts of extreme power.

  • Intensifier's Role: The device is built into the tool or machine and provides on-demand localized high pressure when and where it is most needed.
