Cleaning And Maintenance Tips for Quick Couplings
Quick release couplings are an essential tool for all activities using hydraulic circuits in daily operations. Oil and gas, earth moving, industrial, transport and agricultural applications use quick couplings to change accessories efficiently and safely. These quick coupling mechanisms are specifically designed to perform coupling and disconnection procedures without the use of tools and without causing leakage or contamination. The hydraulic fittings in these applications must remain very much intact under pressure, even though the hydraulic circuit may be easily opened. Preventing high pressure fluid leaks is essential to prevent potential danger to the operator. Quick release couplings designed to be extremely durable and long lasting are a wise investment and can offer many cost saving benefits. High quality quick release couplings can reduce spare parts costs, equipment downtime and work accidents. However, improper use and maintenance can reduce ef...
