Charles is a purchaser of a hydraulic pump
company in the United States. He has done very well and occasionally inquires
about the price with AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. For the hydraulic check valves
purchased some time ago, the production director found that 20% of the
hydraulic check valves have parameters that do not meet the standard, so they
must get new qualified ones to the workshop within 20 days, otherwise the delivery
of customer order would be delayed. Charles asked the original manufacturer of
the hydraulic check valve to complete the replacement within 2 weeks. The manufacturer
is willing to replenish, but the production can be started only after 15 days,
that is to say, it will take 30 days to replenish. Charles tried to find other
suppliers of hydraulic check valves, and all replied that it could not be
completed in such a short time. Charles realized that something was going to
happen and began to look for a new hydraulic valve manufacturer, contacting
factories one by one.
Charles thought that AAK had also participated in the quotation of this
hydraulic check valve, and the samples provided also met the requirements, but
it was not considered because the quotation of AAK was slightly higher than
that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers by 7%. Charles sent us an e-mail to
ask whether the quotation of hydraulic check valve offered 6 months ago can be
maintained, and if we can finish an urgent order of 100 hydraulic check valves
in 10-12 days. I felt that this should be an order for hydraulic check valve encountered
with problem. Charles told us the truth. About 20% of the hydraulic check
valves produced by the original factory were unqualified and rejected by their
production director. Now he must replenish them as soon as possible.
General hydraulic valve manufacturers are unwilling to make such
aftercare orders, but AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE don't think so, because AAK, as a production
factory, has the same goal as the importer, that is to serve users well, so AAK
is more willing to help customers and solve complaints from users together.
Fortunately, the corresponding materials are in stock. Combined with the
24-hour production line, our production director conservatively estimates that
it can be completed in 12 days. Charles asked us to start blanking now and the
hydraulic check valve order will be issued tomorrow. After 10 days, 100
hydraulic check valves were successfully finished. Charles was very happy and
quickly air freighted these hydraulic check valves to the United States. Thanks
to the God, 100 hydraulic check valves finally arrived at their workshop in 20
days.
Charles informed us by email that their engineers installed, debugged and
tested AAK hydraulic check valves, which were all normal. The 7% higher price
was also agreed by his boss. The boss was very amazed that AAK can deliver so
quickly and the quality was better than that of the original manufacturer.
AAK uses 1144 steel imported from the United States for
this hydraulic check valve, which can be directly quenched. After heating to
850 ℃, it can be insulated
for more than 10 hour, up to 58HRC. Usually, the ordinary factory can not
control the heat treatment of this steel. The quenched 1144 steel is easy to
cut, with fast cutting speed and little damage to the tool. Compared with 45
steel adopted by the original manufacturer, the production efficiency can be
improved by 30%, and the strength and hardness are also stronger than 45 steel,
but the cost is some high, and it is not easy to heat treat. Most hydraulic
valve manufacturers dare not use this material, so most hydraulic valve
manufacturers can not guarantee to complete the urgent order of this hydraulic
check valve in 2 weeks.
AAK hydraulic check valve, although 7% more expensive, not only has fast delivery
time, but also satisfy you on the quality. You are welcome to have a small try!
For hydraulic valves in oily medium, oil selection is very important. Russian customers accepted AAK's suggestion on the selection of hydraulic oil, which successfully restored the trust of their customers.
The quality of oil will also affect the service life of products. At present, many users in the market use HL32 hydraulic oil. It has the lubrication of circulation system and is also cheap. At the same time, it can prolong the oil change cycle. Compared with machine oil, it can save 1 / 3-1 / 2 of lubricating oil, so it has become the first choice of many users.
When the lubrication effect of hydraulic oil is poor, impurities are easily entered, which leads to severe wear of valve core. At the same time, the air release value, anti bubble property and poor water separation performance easily lead to rust and scrap of products, and shorten the service life of the products. Many users often ignore the oil product problem, and the manufacturers of hydraulic valves do not give the guidance on the use of hydraulic oil. This will lead to the quality of hydraulic valve, and also the service life.
Some time ago, in a chat with a Russian client, why did the same batch of AAK hydraulic valves have different service life? Because the client promised the users that the quality guarantee period of AAK hydraulic valve is 1-2 years, but now only about 8 months, some users complained about some problems.
I am very surprised. After more in-depth communication, I learned that the "cause" is that the medium has affected the service life of the hydraulic valve. At present, the oily medium used by the users who complained is HL32 hydraulic oil. I analyzed the instability of No. 32 hydraulic oil with the client. Due to its poor air release value, anti foaming property and water separation performance, it is easy to cause rust and scrap of products. This oil quality is only suitable for lubrication of bearing boxes and low-pressure circulation systems of various machine tools without special requirements for oil quality, and is not suitable for hydraulic valve system.
After listening to my analysis, the Russian client said that no supplier had ever fed back the requirements of hydraulic oil, and asked me how to make the guidance for the users. We feedback that these problems can be solved as long as HM46 hydraulic oil can be used, it can quickly separate the water mixed in the oil, has excellent oxidation stability and hydrolysis stability, and can resist the influence of air, moisture, high temperature, high pressure and other factors.
After half a year, the Russian customer did not mention this problem. A phone call happened one day, and I knew that after listening to my analysis that day, he immediately suggested that the user try to change the hydraulic oil to improve the service life of the product. This call showed that the effect was obvious and the trust of the user was successfully restored. He appreciated that we found an effective solution for the problem.
AAK Hydraulic valve is not only a comprehensive technology, but also with good after-sales supporting. Don't wait, contact AAK Industry Co., Ltd. if you have any questions.
The gap error between the hydraulic cartridge valve and the valve block produced by AAK was reduced to 2μm-3μm, and the sealing oil effect surpassed 95% of its peers. The order volume of American customers increased from 30% to 50%, and there was no quality complaint.
Because of being used to the domestic market, most manufacturers lack a certain awareness of the precision of the products, especially the gap between the hydraulic cartridge valve and the valve block. Once the gap is too large and oil leakage is unavoidable. The 95% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers in the conventional market can only achieve 8μM-10μm, and the sealing effect is just general. After six months of use, the hydraulic system will appear slight Oil leakage phenomenon, this is why many hydraulic cartridge valve use shelf life generally stay in 6 months.
Before March, Lisa, an American customer, purchased a batch of hydraulic valves of different models from our company and another factory at the same time. A few days ago, she sent an email to inform another factory that the hydraulic valves produced by another factory had slight oil leakage, which led to the failure of pressure and flow regulation. She asked us about the last shipment, if there will be similar problems. We don't think so. I told him that in order to save cost, 95% of the products produced by manufacturers can only control the fit gap error between 8μm and 10μm, which leads to the inconsistency of the product's normal use and shelf life. Lisa was skeptical and tested 10 samples from another factory, and the gap error was mostly about 8μM-10μm. At the same time, she also tested and compared the parameters of our samples, and the results showed that the fit gap of our products was 2-3μM. Seeing such big difference and in order to ensure the service life of the products, Lisa increased the order quantity from 30% to 50%. So far, there has been no quality complaint.
Under the premise of normal use, the shelf life of AAK hydraulic valves can generally be controlled for 1-2 years, they are mainly equipped with skilled production masters and advanced production equipment. At the same time, each product is debugged by the R & D team before production, and large-scale production is arranged only after the parameters are tested to be qualified. This is why the gap between AAK hydraulic valve and valve block can be controlled within 2-3μM, and also what most peers lack.
For high quality sealing effect, AAK can save you a lot of costs, don't hesitate, welcome to try!
Fernado is a purchaser from a Spain company, responsible for its company's hydraulic valve procurement project in China. This time, he suffered a big setback. For a batch of hydraulic valves using domestic 1214 steel as valve core, more than 60% of the products have oil leakage after being used for about 6 times. In the last week, 72 complaint calls have been received, and even more direct requests for return of goods have been made. The headquarter requested him to give solutions within half a month. Fernado, however, was confused and at a loss.
In order to find out the cause of the oil leakage, Fernado immediately transferred nearly 50 products from the warehouse for parameter testing, and finally found that there was indeed a widespread oil leakage phenomenon. He learned that although 1214 steel made in China is an easy cutting material, due to the brittleness of the material, the slight deformation caused by careless heat treatment to the valve core, can not be found and picked out. In order to save costs, many manufacturers do not do any inspection and directly assemble and use, which leads to the problems in the use of the products.
Occasionally, he saw our company's information on the Internet, and contacted us with the mentality of trying. After listening to his intention, we picked some products by using 40Cr material as the valve core, and conducted pressure test for many times on the spot. There was no oil leakage phenomenon at all. Fernado's face is full of heavy relief when he saw the parameter list. Fernado took a video on the spot, wrote a comparison report, and sent an email to the headquarters. On the third day, we received a small trial order from him, mainly to replace the stocks with problems.
All the hydraulic valves produced by AAK use 40Cr as the main raw material of valve core, which is pressure resistant, wear-resistant and not easy to deform. At the same time, after heat treatment, the surface toughness is better and the fatigue resistance is stronger. Although the material price and cost is higher than 1214 steel, it can completely solve the problem of oil leakage, this is what many manufacturers lack.
After the oil spill problem was solved, Fernado gained the absolute trust of the headquarters, so he was promoted to be the main procurement leader in China. At the same time, the volume he purchased from our company has also increased year by year. We have cooperated with him for three years, and the average annual purchase is stable at about 1.2 million euro.
AAK hydraulic valve uses 40Cr steel as the raw material for the valve core, which never leak, this is absolutely different from other manufacturers.
Different from 90% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers, AAK hydraulic valve sleeve is made of 40Cr material, which will not cause stuck phenomenon. It saves David's hydraulic valve market in Italy in time, and our company has gradually become his main supplier.
The selection of valve sleeve material is directly related to the performance of hydraulic valve. The domestic 1214 steel is easy to cut and has high output. At the same time, the loss of machining blade is relatively small. At present, in order to save cost, the vast majority of peers use domestic 1214 steel as valve sleeve, which often ignores the potential problems, such as brittleness and easy deformation during heat treatment. If the valve sleeve is deformed, it will cause the spring base to jam and malfunction in the process of tightening and loosening, and affect the pressure and flow control. Currently, the valves produced by vast majority of manufacturers have these hidden dangers.
David from Italy is mainly responsible for the purchasing of hydraulic valves in East China in the past two years. Last year, he purchased a batch of pilot hydraulic valves from our hydraulic peers. There was no problem in the production and assembly, even after the test on the pressure test bench. The market sales data of this order was also very optimistic. David's team was planning to re-peat the order and double the qty. However, at the same time, he received complaints from 30% of customers. The problem is all the same that the spring base is stuck and after being adjusted for two or three times, it becomes loose, and the control of pressure and flow almost fails.
He accidentally saw our company website on the Internet. After simple email communication, we suggested that he come to our company for onsite comparison. David came to our company with samples the next day. We could not see any problems from the appearance of these products, so we immediately tested the samples with more precise parameters. After tightening and loosening for 2-3 cycles, there was a phenomenon of stuck and adjusting failure. After checking the test parameters, the original problem was that there was slight deformation on the screw thread inside the valve sleeve, a discrepancy of only a few μm, which cannot be seen by naked eye, but can lead to the phenomenon of stuck in the process of cooperating with spring base. David was surprised that we were so quick to detect the problem and asked how we could avoid these risks.
We compared our valve sleeve material data with his sample material data one by one, and he understood the mystery. In order to avoid another quality problem and lose the Italian market, he requested us to rush a new batch of orders for him to replace the current defective products. With the stable quality in recent years, David's team has been recognized by new and old customers, and our company has gradually become his leading supplier.
All the hydraulic valve sleeve produced by AAK uses 40Cr. The main reason is that after heat treatment at appropriate temperature, 40Cr achieves excellent comprehensive mechanical properties in terms of toughness, plasticity and wear resistance. Especially for surface hardening treatment such as high frequency quenching and tempering of steel, AAK has its own proprietary technology.
If you still have concerns about AAK hydraulic valve, it is normal, but do not miss us, you can try a small order.
The hydraulic valves produced by AAK use nitrile rubber sealing ring, which has better seal performance than most of the peers. Even though the market competition is fierce, there is no old customer transferring orders. Only Tom, an American customer who has cooperated for six years, transferred orders to expand the base of suppliers. As a result, oil leakage occurred and he came back to AAK for help and got the problem solved. Now he seems afraid to transfer orders again.
For the selection of hydraulic valve seal ring, the vast majority of manufacturers use silica gel seal ring, this material has good tensile performance, high temperature resistance, no deformation, and good sealing water resistance, but the biggest problem is not resistant to oil and acid. Because of the strong tensile strength of the silicone seal ring, the assembly is convenient and the assembly efficiency of the whole hydraulic valve is very high. In order to improve the assembly efficiency and save the cost, most manufacturers use silicone sealing ring. However, when such a hydraulic valve is used in an oily hydraulic environment, especially in acidic materials, there will be 100% oil leakage when used with valve block.
Tom, an American customer who has been working with us for six years, is very busy recently because of the oil leakage problem of an order. Sometimes even at 3 am in the morning, he is communicating with the person in charge of our technical department to seek solutions. A year ago, he wanted to develop a new supplier and transferred the order without our knowledge. Now he needs our help when there is a problem. Through the video, we only know the problem of oil leakage, cannot see the product, also do not know the reason, so we asked him to send samples, then we can do specific parameter analysis.
A week later, we tested immediately after receiving the samples. The results showed that the internal circulation was ok, but it is difficult to imagine that the problem would appear on the sealing ring. The reason is that this factory used silica gel sealing ring. We told Tom the problem and advised that he only needed to replace the silicone seal ring with our nitrile rubber seal ring, and his problem was solved. Tom is surprised and speechless. Now the whole shipment is unsalable. After this loss, he came back to us to solve the problem. Now he is very grateful to us. He found the source of the problem and does not transfer our order to other suppliers any more.
AAK hydraulic valve is mainly used with NBR sealing ring, the sealing performance overwhelm the majority of peers, this material is not only high temperature resistance, good adhesion, corrosion resistance, what's more important, it is oil resistant, acid proof, waterproof, anti-aging, it is the first choice for sealing the hydraulic system. At the same time, we can also according to the customer's requirements for different use conditions of the hydraulic valve, specially match the sealing ring of different media to reach the standard of zero oil leakage. This is why many new and old customers choose to cooperate with us, and do not transfer the orders easily.
Details determine success or failure. AAK always pays attention to details, so it can be invincible.
The high-pressure throttle hydraulic valve produced by AAK, the service life can be longer than 90% more of its peers, the key is that we have our own quenching and tempering heat treatment process, through the quenching with different tempering temperature, can raise the strength and toughness of hydraulic valve, as well as the fatigue strength greatly, to avoid deformation and abrasion happened in the process of hydraulic valve being used in the long-term. Currently, less than 10% of the industry can match the service life of AAK hydraulic valves.
In order to save costs, 70% of manufacturers do not do any heat treatment to the hydraulic parts materials, some of them do heat treatment, but outside of the factory, and 20% of the factories do heat treatment at a different place each time, due to these reasons, the quality can not be guaranteed, let alone the stability. Due to the existence of these common problems in the industry, after being used for a period of time, the hydraulic valve will expose lots of problems, such as deformation, abrasion and so on. Once the deformation of the hydraulic valve, the valve blocking will be more serious, and the abrasion will lead to increased leakage, which greatly shorten the service life of the hydraulic valve.
Last month, Jone, the purchasing director of the American customer in China, came to me and complained during the chat that since 2019, for unknown reason, his customers have been complaining one after another, and the problems are surprisingly consistent, the hydraulic valve has been deformed and worn out quickly in less than three months after being used.
I told him directly that the heat treatment of the material was the problem. 70% of manufacturers do not do any heat treatment to the hydraulic parts materials. Even if the heat treatment is done, 20% of the factory's heat treatment is done outside at different places each time. Thus, the quality cannot be guaranteed, let alone the stability. I sent him several samples, and told him that the hardness of our material must be higher than what he purchased, which can reach 40-45HRC or higher. It is mainly produced depending on the customer's use scenario, to ensure the service life of the hydraulic valve. Jone seems to understand the seriousness of the problem and reports directly to the boss about the current state of the industry in China. Just this month, we got their trial order.
To do well in heat treatment, AAK controls a heat treatment factory which has been in the industry for over 10 years. Due to the temperature sensitivity of the quenching and tempering heat treatment of the hydraulic valve material, if the temperature is too low, the hardness is not enough and the hydraulic valve will be easy to deformation, otherwise it will lead to fracture. Only our own heat treatment process, under the operation of experienced masters, can accurately grasp the appropriate temperature. AAK can also select the corresponding heat treatment process and set the temperature range according to the different working conditions of the hydraulic valve, to ensure the service life of the hydraulic valve.
With service life longer than over 90% peers, AAK hydraulic valve is waiting for your trial order.
AAK hydraulic valve has already used Korean harp steel wire as the pressure spring of hydraulic valve, while only a few factories in the same industry are using it. Russian customers came to our factory to make customized samples and then return home. After half a year of sample comparison, AAK hydraulic valve has been able to overcome domestic and foreign competitors, so far it has bring us a cumulative order of millions of dollars.
It is a common problem that the pressure of hydraulic valve cannot be adjusted after using for a period of time. The quality of internal spring of hydraulic valve is directly related to the strength control of hydraulic system. Once there is a problem, the whole hydraulic system will be paralyzed immediately, so the quality of spring is vital.
In order to save cost, 80% of the manufacturers use the carbon steel which is cheap and widely used. With the increase of carbon content, although the hardness of the material will increase, the plasticity and toughness of the material will decrease, and also lead to the weakening of tensile strength and stability. After repeated use, the resilience of spring will also be weakened, and then the adjustment of hydraulic valve will have problems.
In 2018, a Russian customer Alex purchased hydraulic valves from China, and there was a problem with automatic pressure regulation. He received many complaints from his customers. Therefore, it is urgent to find a new supplier to replace it. After staying in China for half a month, he found AAK hydraulic valve and visited our whole production workshop. After that, he took out a draft and paid for several customized samples.
After returning home with the samples, we couldn't get in touch with him, either by email or call. We thought he had left the industry. After half a year, we suddenly received an email of his hydraulic valve order, thinking that he had made a mistake and called him in the afternoon. During the conversation, we learned that he asked to make proofs not only from our company, but also tested all samples from every factory in the past six months, including each component and the cycle test of the entire hydraulic system. Finally, besides our company, another company also met his requirements, but their spring tension test parameters were lower than ours. Therefore, he chose AAK hydraulic valve without hesitation, and we have received more than total 1 million US dollars from him since 2018.
AAK hydraulic valve has been using the piano steel wire compression spring imported from Korea. The material has high strength, good elasticity, fatigue resistance, creep resistance and toughness. The surface is smooth and clean, and has strong anti rust ability. At the same time, it has the specified tensile strength and torsion performance, and the surface will not have cracks, folds, scabs, cracks and corrosion.
AAK hydraulic valve is not just worth you to buy, but in China you can hardly find a few, comparable with us. It's not that we're proud, we're honest, just tell the truth.
For two years, by re-mading the samples for four times and changed the materials for three times, AAK samples successfully passed the parameter tests, stand out from many domestic hydraulic valve suppliers, and received a large order for the cartridge valves from the agent of HydraForce, which made us the top supplier of HydraForce in China.
At present, domestic hydraulic valve industry appears a very common phenomenon of "selling the facade", what is "selling the facade"? It means that the customer give orders to big enterprise, then the big enterprise give nearly 80% of the components to small enterprises for processing because of their low cost by using domestic raw materials, thus the differences in processing techniques is ignored and resulted in uneven quality, then many problems came out: valve blocking, oil leakage, abrasion and so on, it seriously influenced the product performance.
The Cartridge hydraulic valve of Hydraforce were copied in China several decades ago, but due to the limitations of testing levels and precision of lathes, few factories were able to make accurate copies. In June 2015, the manager of a HydraForce agent got in contact with us, intending to include us in the list of their suppliers and ask us to develop and imitate one of the HydraForce cartridge valves. With great trepidation, all our company technicians started to work on this project. Within two years, our company continually imported the Germany machines with higher precision, at the same time, replaced regular machines with test tables with more comprehensive test parameters. By re-mading the samples for four times and changed the materials for three times, after two years, AAK samples successfully passed the parameter tests and meet customer requirements, finally reached cooperation with HydraForce agent and became the top supplier of HydraForce in China for the cartridge hydraulic valves.
Since its establishment in 2012, AAK has always put technological innovation, high-quality raw materials and advanced equipment in the first place. Especially using 2 imported CNC lathes, plus more than 10 domestic CNC lathes, we reduced the time cost of frequent line change, and the delivery time is 40% faster than the peers. The 90% of the peers do not have this production configuration.
The HydraForce chose AAK as the partner in the end for no other reason than that we could meet the parameter requirements that other suppliers could not meet. We are willing to do what other people do not want to do, and we also try harder to do what other people cannot do.
With the ability to produce order for HydraForce, AAK's technology should give you enough confidence!
Although AAK hydraulic valve factory is equipped with high-precision imported CNC lathes and a lot of small-scale processing equipment, the output is already 40% higher than that of its peers, it still has the correct labor attitude to ensure the quality and delivery time, a California customer no longer want to find a second supplier after working with AAK.
When it comes to production efficiency, because domestic factories are used to domestic sales, they are not serious about delivery time. The production is slow, and the workers are off duty. If the customer is in a hurry, nearly 90% of the manufacturers will choose to outsource processing. However, due to the uncertain factors of Midway transportation and the quality problems caused by different factories, the quality level will inevitably be uneven, and it is impossible to guarantee that the delivery time of customers can be met.
In 2019, an old American customer introduced James to AAK, a California customer, who is the purchaser for hydraulic cartridge valves. In previous years, he purchased all hydraulic valves in the United States. Only because of the rise of China's hydraulic market in recent years, he chose to switch to the Chinese market. During the conversation with James, we knew that due to the limitation of machines and slow production efficiency of the original supplier, the delivery of a special order was delayed, he lost a large customer, so he decided to change the supplier.
He noted that we are equipped with a number of high-precision imported CNC lathes and a lot of small-scale processing equipment. Moreover, the factory operates 24 hours a day, and the employees work in shifts. This ensures that the production line is manned all 24 hours, and the output can be 40% higher than that of the peers. At the same time, it can guarantee the quality of hydraulic valves and try to advance the delivery time as far as possible. With the mindset of trying, James placed an order of 20,000 US dollars. Due to the first cooperation, James deliberately delayed the lead time of one month to two months.
During the production process, he always follow up the production progress through email and video, for fear that we will delay the shipping time like the last supplier. After 25 days, the goods were fully completed and 35 days ahead of schedule under the premise of ensuring quality. James was awed by our production efficiency. After this trial, he never considered looking for a second supplier.
AAK hydraulic valve factory not only has high-precision imported CNC lathe, but also can achieve 24-hour normal operation and reduce the time cost of frequent line change. The output is 40% higher than that of peers. At present, 90% of the manufacturers do not have the equipment of this scale.
Guaranteed quality, quantity and delivery! Purchasing AAK hydraulic valve with ease and rest assured!
Jone is the purchasing director of an American customer in China. He often communicates with me about some technical problems. However, there has been no news in recent six months. Until the beginning of June this year, he informed the status of the their hydraulic valves by email. Since 2019, for unknown reason, his customers have complained about the quality of the hydraulic valves they sell. The problem is basically the same: after being used for around 3-5 months, the hydraulic valves will appear deformation, at the same time, the wear is very fast. Jone has been working with their after-sales department to appease customers, and has been busy.
Since we didn't see the sample, we couldn't give an accurate opinion. The next day, Jone arranged for the warehouse to send 10 samples randomly to us for inspection. After receiving the samples, I told him that the main problem was the heat treatment of the material, which had nothing to do with other things. At present, many manufacturers do not do any heat treatment for the hydraulic parts materials on hand. Even if the heat treatment is done, they will change the working place after a shot. Thus, the quality can not be guaranteed, not to say the stability of the products. This is the reason why the probability of wear and leakage is increased and the service life is shortened. In order to take care of the customers' mood, Jone promised customers to exchange goods for free. He urgently placed an order for 500 hydraulic valves, and asked us to complete the production in 3 weeks and ship them by air. We finished the production in half a month and delivered the goods successfully.
AAK hydraulic valve production has its own proprietary quenching and tempering heat treatment technology, and has held a heat treatment factory for ten years. The quenching and tempering heat treatment of hydraulic valve material is sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is too low, the hardness is not enough, and it is easy to deform, otherwise, it will lead to fracture. Only our proprietary heat treatment technology can accurately grasp the appropriate temperature under the operation of experienced masters. AAK can also select the corresponding heat treatment process and determine the temperature range according to the different service conditions of the hydraulic valve to ensure the service life of the hydraulic valve.
At present, 70% of the manufacturers do not do any heat treatment for the hydraulic parts materials, and some has the heat treatment processed outside, and 20% of the factories changed the working place for heat treatment every time, so the quality cannot be guaranteed and not to mention the stability. These are the common problems in the industry.
Once our hydraulic valves are received, Jone immediately replaced the valves for his customers. Three months later, his customers bought the hydraulic valve again and asked for the same quality. Jone placed the re-orders with us again, and the value of the goods reached 30,000 US dollars. He told me that since the use of AAK hydraulic valves, it was once well received, never received customer complaints, and the sales volume increased by 30% over the same period. Since the use of AAK hydraulic valves, the attitude of the headquarters to him has also changed greatly, and he was praised at the monthly summary meeting.
The quality of AAK hydraulic valve after heat treatment is guaranteed!
Last year, Pushkin, a Russian hydraulic valve buyer, always had the problem of automatic pressure regulation failure on the hydraulic valves he purchased from Guangdong, China, and received many complaints from customers. However, the problem could not be solved 100% by the original supplier. That's really upsetting Pushkin. If not deal with it properly, he will not only lose the job, but the company also has the risk to lose all customers.
For this type of situation, it is most likely the problem of the spring of the hydraulic valve, because for the hydraulic valves with spring by using carbon steel, after repeated use, the resilience of the spring will gradually weaken, resulting in the hydraulic valve pressure and flow regulation failure. The nature of carbon steel is with high carbon content and high hardness, but its plasticity and toughness will be reduced, at the same time, the tensile strength will be weakened, resulting in poor stability, which will affect the adjustment of hydraulic valve. As the hydraulic valve is always in operation, once the spring has a problem, the whole hydraulic system will be paralyzed. The carbon steel is currently the cheapest one and also easy to purchase. In order to save cost and facilitate production, at present, 90% of the manufacturers take carbon steel as the first choice for the spring material, which is already a common phenomenon in the industry.
In order to keep the customers, Pushkin is in urgent need of looking for new suppliers. During this half month in Zhejiang Province, we were introduced to him by friends. After visiting our whole workshop, he took out a draft and asked us to process several samples for him at his cost. Three months later, we received some information from him and also an order for hydraulic valves. At the beginning, he not only asked our company to proofing. In the past three months, he mainly tested the samples of each company, every component and the entire hydraulic system. Finally, besides our company, there was also another company that met his requirements. However, there is a little gap on the internal spring tension test parameters for the hydraulic valves made by our company and another factory. Therefore, he did not hesitate to place the order with AAK.
AAK hydraulic valve has always used the piano steel wire compression spring imported from South Korea. This material has the characteristics of high strength, good elasticity, fatigue resistance, creep resistance and toughness, smooth and clean surface and strong anti rust ability. At the same time, it has the specified tensile strength and torsion performance, and the surface is not allowed to have cracks, folds, scabs, cracks and corrosion etc.
Since last year, Pushkin has purchased hydraulic valves with imported piano steel wire spring from our company for over 530,000 US dollars. Since the use of AAK hydraulic valves, Pushkin has stabilized its old customers without worrying about customers' complaints and returns. Meanwhile, the market reputation is getting better and better. His frequency of returning home and abroad has also decreased, and he has spent more time in Russia.
AAK hydraulic valves, buy at ease, more ease of use!

Elaine, a buyer in
Russia, did not expect that nearly 30% of the hydraulic valves had oil leakage
and poor sensitivity during the inspection of the orders that she had always
paid great attention to. Before production, she emphasized the importance of
the quality again and again, but there were still problems later. The supplier
didn't have the equipment of pressure test bench, so they packed and shipped
directly after production, then many problems came out. Fortunately, problems
are found in the inspection process, which can avoid the loss later, but the
delivery time is approaching. At present, she is eager to find a new supplier,
looking around, struggling.
The current
situation of the industry is that 90% of the small and medium-sized hydraulic
valve factories either do not have pressure test bench, or use the test bench
as decoration. Because the test process of the pressure test bench is really
complicated, after the pressure testing, it needs to be disassembled, cleaned
and reassembled, which needs a lot of technical work. In order to save cost,
most factories give up this process without testing. In this way, no matter how
high the accuracy of the hydraulic valve, there will be leakage, some hydraulic
valves can not even be assembled, these phenomena are common in China.
Elaine saw our
company's website on the Internet and sent an inquiry email. Three days later,
accompanied by a Chinese, she found our company. After listening to her
intention, we directly took her to the workshop to understand all the
supporting production equipment and the whole process. Facing the current
production scale, workflow, quality inspection and packaging, Elaine regretted
choosing the wrong supplier. She asked if we could help with the delivery of
1500 hydraulic valves and asked us to deliver them within 60 days. I felt
Elaine's anxiety, so through the consultation of the production department, we
agreed. After 45 days of hard work, we successfully delivered the goods 15 days
earlier than expected. After the previous lesson, Elaine paid great attention
to the inspection. Half of the quantity was randomly selected for pressure test
before delivery, and the result was that there was no oil leakage, then she was
relieved to ship the goods.
Each hydraulic
component of AAK has been tested by a pressure test bench with complete
parameters, and a professional testing master with 7 years' experience is also
equipped. Each product is tested at least three times. The quality of the
product is strictly controlled according to the specified parameters to ensure
sensitivity and zero leakage. AAK quality control is more QC than customer QC.
Half a year later,
we received the first repeat order from the Russian customer Elaine. During the
same period, new and old orders were continuously signed. Up to now, the volume
can reach 1.5 million US dollars per year on average. Since cooperating with
us, Elaine seldom cares about product quality. She has been promoted to the
manager of purchasing department.
AAK hydraulic valve can guarantee both quality and quantity, what else do you worry about?

Logan, an American customer, recently purchased a batch of hydraulic valves, but problems came out within the shelf life period. In previous years, he promised that it would have no problem within 1-2 year period. However, for unknown reason, nearly 60% of the users had problems after using them for about only 8 months. Sometimes, he even received more than 20 complaint calls in a day, which completely broke his habitual working pace and exhausted.
Logan sent us inquiries before, but has not cooperated with us yet. He sent us an email for a try and asked whether our company's hydraulic valves could avoid their customers' complaints. I suggested testing the product parameters randomly. If all parameters of the product are tested to be qualified, it's the best to learn about the user's environment. One week later, Logan sent me an email saying that the oil medium used by the current complaining customers is HL32 hydraulic oil, and the other environment is the same.
I told him that the quality of the oil will also affect the service life of the product. HL32 hydraulic oil has the lubrication of the circulation system, and its price is cheap. At the same time, it can extend the oil change cycle. Compared with machine oil, it can save 1/3-1/2 of lubricating oil, so it has become the first choice of many users. However, it also has a lot of instability due to air release value, anti foaming property and water separation poor performance, it is easy to get the product rusted and scrapped, it is only suitable for the lubrication to all kinds of machine tool bearing box, low pressure circulation system that do not have special requirement for oil quality, but not suitable for hydraulic valve system.
After listening to my analysis, Logan said that no supplier had ever mentioned the requirements for the hydraulic oil and asked me how to give the user a guide. We told him that as long as HM46 hydraulic oil can be used, the water mixed in the oil can be quickly separated, and it has excellent oxidation stability and hydrolysis stability. At the same time, it can resist air, moisture, high temperature, high pressure and other factors. The problems can be solved easily.
Three months later, we received an order of US$60,000 from Logan. This is an inquiry made by Logan half a year ago. On the call communication, Logan mentioned that after listening to my analysis last time, he immediately suggested the user try to change the hydraulic oil. After that, the service life of the product has been improved and the effect is obvious. At the same time, the trust of the user has been successfully restored. This order is mainly due to the recognition of our quality and technical authority, and also thank us for helping solve his customer's complaints even without business cooperation, taking this opportunity to have more cooperation with us.
AAK Hydraulic Valve not only has comprehensive technology, but also has a complete after-sales service. Don't wait! Contact AAK if you have any questions.

Ron is one of the purchasers of an American
hydraulic valve company in East China. A batch of hydraulic valves was released
in June this year. The company's after-sales director told him that nearly 40%
of consumers complained about the poor sealing and obvious oil leakage of the
hydraulic valves. Ron was very surprised that he had not changed the factory,
and the quality had not gone wrong in previous years. How could such a low-level
error occur this time? He knew that if the problem could not be solved
fundamentally, he would be fired.
In order to find out the reason, Ron
visited many manufacturers and learned that most of the manufacturers used
silicone sealing rings in order to save costs due to the rapid rise of
materials recently. This material has good tensile properties, high temperature
resistance, no deformation, and good sealing and waterproof properties, but the
biggest problem is that it is not resistant to oil and acid. However, because
of the strong tensile strength and convenient assembly of the silicone sealing
ring, the assembly efficiency of the whole hydraulic valve is very high. In
order to save the cost, many manufacturers take the silicone sealing ring as
the first choice.
When Ron realized that the factory had
secretly changed the materials, he was extremely disappointed and decided to
replace the old factory with a new one. Ron saw our website on the Internet and
found that there were nitrile rubber sealing rings in the introduction of each
product, which was different from other manufacturers. He was curious and sent
us an email asking why our sealing ring is different from most factories. We
suggested that he buy more than 10 samples, test the parameters himself first
to approve the quality, and send them to the U.S. headquarters. Ron was pleased
that the headquarters was very satisfied with the quality of the samples and
immediately provided them to customers for trial use. A week later, the
headquarters received positive feedback from users, which was very good. Ron's
hanging heart finally settled down and the problem was solved.
AAK hydraulic valve mainly uses NBR sealing
ring. This material not only has high temperature resistance, good adhesion, and
corrosion resistance, but also mainly oil resistance, acid resistance,
waterproof and anti-aging. It is the first choice for sealing the hydraulic
system. At the same time, we can also according to the customer's requirements
for different use scenarios of the hydraulic valve, specially match the sealing
ring with different media to reach the standard of zero oil leakage. This is
why many new and old customers choose to cooperate with us, not easy to change
suppliers.
One month later, Ron visited our company.
He was very impressed by our comprehensive professional knowledge and
determination of quality. And thanks to us for recovering at least 40% of its
losses last time, and now the purchase volume of those old users has increased
by nearly 30% over the same period. What's more, he signed a cooperation
agreement with us for the whole year, with a purchase volume of US$800,000. He
told me quietly that the headquarters was very satisfied with him and trusted
him, so that he had the opportunity to place large orders on site.
AAK hydraulic valve, is very strict to
quality, looking forward to your trial order!
Zero is from Italy, responsible for purchasing hydraulic valves in East China, and has been doing well. However, he suffered a big loss this time. More than 25% of the pilot type hydraulic valves purchased from China recently will be stuck and out of order after being used for a period of time, which seriously affects the control of pressure and flow. At present, 20% of the products are unsalable. What's more troublesome is that some customers ask for return. The headquarters was very angry and asked for a reasonable solution within 15 days.
For such type of situation, if the internal parameter test of the product is compliant, the problem should be the selection of material, especially the selection of valve sleeve material, which is directly related to the stability of hydraulic valve. The domestic 1214 steel is easy to cut, with high output, and the loss of machining blade is relatively small. Therefore, in order to save cost, most of peers use domestic 1214 steel as valve sleeve. However, the potential problems, such as brittleness and easy deformation due to heat treatment, are often ignored. If the valve sleeve is deformed, it will cause the spring base to get stuck and out of control in the process of tightening and loosening, and affect the control to the pressure and flow.
Through Internet search, Zero found that 40Cr was mentioned in an article about valve sleeve material on our website. So he took the initiative to contact us, and got a detailed understanding of the difference between 40Cr and domestic 1214 steel. Due to the urgent time given by the headquarter, after listening to our analysis, Zero sent us the draft of this order with the mentality of trying, and asked us to use 40Cr material to make samples according to his parameters, so as to compare the quality. Seven days later, Zero received the samples and compared the parameters of our products with the inventory products, and the parameters of the two products were basically consistent, but there is a gap error of several μm on the internal thread of valve sleeve. We told him that it was just such a detail about tiny error that determined the stability of the hydraulic valve. He immediately sent an email to the head officer in the headquarters, stating the problems and solutions, and also placed an order with us.
Why is there an advantage of several μ m on the error? The main reason is that all AAK hydraulic valve sleeves are made of 40Cr. After heat treatment, especially for steel surface hardening such as high frequency quenching and tempering, we have our own professional technology. The toughness, plasticity and wear resistance of the treated valve body can achieve the best comprehensive mechanical properties and enhance the fatigue resistance of the valve body, this is what other materials lack.
Zero purchased AAK hydraulic valves in April the first time. A re-peat order was issued last month, and the quantity was twice as much as last time. He told me that since the use of AAK hydraulic valves, the feedback from users is getting better and better, and the demands is also increasing. The headquarters is very satisfied with him. Today's email tells us that the headquarters has upgraded the East China office to the purchasing headquarters in China. He is the head of the purchasing headquarters.
AAK hydraulic valves use 40Cr as the valve sleeve, the pressure and flow control is not only smooth, but also safe to use, more at ease!

Mr. Li is a purchaser of a foreign trade company in Guangdong Province. In April this year, two batches of hydraulic valves with a total value of more than 300,000 US dollars were shipped. Due to too much trust in the manufacturer, they ignored the quality control in production, resulting in hidden quality defects such as the valve core deviated from the central shaft. The customer was very angry and asked the company to give solutions within half a month. After knowing this, the boss was also anxious and blamed Mr.Li seriously and asked him to give solution within one week. Due to very limited time, Mr.Li was like an ant on a hot pan.
After some search, Mr. Li found that in the current hydraulic market, more than 90% of the factories use CNC lathe to produce hydraulic valves. Because there are too many uncertain factors in CNC lathe, once you operate the hydraulic valve improperly, it is easy to have assembly error, and the valve core deviates from the central axis and other hidden quality defects. What's more, it's not easy to find out, until the pipeline leaks, it's still not easy to judge whether there is a problem on the valve.
At the 24th Asia international power transmission and control technology exhibition held in Shanghai, Mr. Li came to my booth and took out their shipment samples. I found that the main line was deviated, and the valve core deviated from the central axis, which was almost the hidden problem in the industry. I told him to give some of my samples to the customers, try the quality of AAK hydraulic valve, and compare with the other ones manufactured in China. After one week, Mr. Li called me and confirmed an order of $100,000. I was told that after the exhibition, he arranged to send the samples to foreign customers. As soon as the customers tested, they were very satisfied with the quality of these samples. They not only had good surface gloss, high precision, but also had super sealing performance. At the same time, his boss was very happy to keep the old customer and praised Mr. Li.
In order to achieve zero leakage of the hydraulic valve, AAK Hydraulic Valve imported the Swiss machine with the highest accuracy to make up for the disadvantage of CNC lathe and completely avoid the assembly error caused by operation error. At present, less than 10% of the peers have this equipment. It can replace seven groups of accessories randomly. The precision of high pressure throttle hydraulic valve produced by Swiss equipment is indeed high, which is at least 20% higher than that of domestic conventional CNC lathe.
After three months, Mr. Li issued a $200,000 re-order again, telling me that since the use of AAK hydraulic valve, he successfully retained his major customers and ensured the normal operation of the future orders. At the same time, the boss was so impressed by his ability to handle things and promoted him to be the purchasing manager. When chatting in private, he was still joking, if he had not met us, he might have lost his job, but now he is a purchasing manager.
Do you still worry about leakage if using AAK hydraulic valve?

Jensen is
the purchasing manager of a hydraulic valve company in the Netherlands.
Recently, he has received continuous complaints. The oil seal effect of a batch
of hydraulic valves purchased in March was poor after being used for less than
6 months. At first, it was very good, but the oil leakage occurred after 6
months of use. At present, nearly 20% of users complain directly about this
problem, and some ask for return. In view of the seriousness of the problem,
the person in charge of after-sales went to the factory with him to investigate
the cause. Jensen knows very well that if he can't solve this problem
thoroughly, his manager position will not be guaranteed.
In order
to find out the reasons in many aspects, Jensen visited many domestic
manufacturers. Unfortunately, most manufacturers said that due to the
limitation of conditions, they could not find out the cause and could not
provide a reasonable solution. Jensen was extremely disappointed and in a bad
mood.
Through
the introduction of peers, Jensen came to our company with samples. After
listening to his intention, we checked the products. It can be said that the
quality is quite good, and the naked eye can not find the problem. After an
hour and a half of more precise detection, the product parameters were
carefully analyzed. The original main problem was caused by the excessive fit
clearance between the threaded cartridge valve and the valve block. The
inspection showed that the clearance was about 8 μ M-10 μ m, and
other parameters were basically normal.
We
explained to him that with these parameters, the reason for poor oil seal
effect of hydraulic valve is clear. In the current hydraulic valve market,
nearly 95% of the manufacturers can only control the gap between 8 μm and 10 μM.
After being used for more than 6 months, some hydraulic valves will have slight
oil leakage. After listening to this, Jensen understood, and then asked if we
had a solution. Compared with his current shipments, the fit clearance of AAK
hydraulic valve was reduced to 2-3 μM. Jensen was shocked to see such a big
difference in data comparison, so he took a video on the spot and sent our
parameter data to the headquarters. The next day Jensen confirmed the quantity
of the order with us and signed the PO.
Under the
premise of normal use, the shelf life of AAK hydraulic valve can be lasted for
1-2 years, mainly because it is equipped with skilled production masters and
advanced production equipment. At the same time, each product must be debugged
by the R & D team before production. After all parameters are tested to be
qualified, large-scale production can be arranged. This is why the clearance
between AAK hydraulic valve and valve block can be controlled within 2-3 μM.
Last week,
Jensen came to our factory again and brought a re-peat order, which was 3 times
as much as before. In private, he also teased that if he had not met us, he
already was not the manager any more. Now he has successfully kept his position
and the boss is paying more attention to him.
High quality oil seal effect, AAK hydraulic valve can reach the height that peer can not reach!
AAK relief valve inner hole grinding (internal grinding) has to be debugged for at least 3 times, and large-scale production can be arranged only after seamless connection with valve core, which can avoid vibration and suppress noise. We are proud to say that at present, nearly 90% of manufacturers can not do so.
The relief valves from many manufacturers has a same problem, after being used for some time, there will be varying degrees of vibration and noise. This is due to the neglect of the control of the accuracy of the inner hole, resulting in the roughness of the inner hole. Therefore, in the process of use, after being adjusted several times, the valve core will be stuck, causing the pressure fluctuation of the relief valve, resulting in vibration and noise, which directly affects the normal use of the relief valve.
Some time ago, a Singaporean customer contacted us through the website, and a batch of relief valves was complained by consumers due to quality problems. There is no problem in the test before delivery, but there is noise in the hands of consumers. Nearly 30% of the products in the same batch have this problem.
Since we didn't see the relief valves, we couldn't analyze the specific reasons. We suggested that he send us several samples for detailed analysis. Seven days later, I received the relief valves from him. The surface gloss of these samples is very good. The internal parameter test shows that the accuracy deviation of the inner hole is very large (rough). After adjusting the flow rate for many times, it is easy for the valve core to be stuck, which is the key reason for vibration and noise.
We emailed him the test result, together with our product parameters. After receiving it, the customer immediately called back for consultation. I told him that in order to save costs and pursue production efficiency, many manufacturers ignored the control of inner hole precision in the production process. As long as consumers use it several times, the valve core will be stuck, resulting in the main valve not opening up or the main valve closing without pressure relief, which will cause the pressure fluctuation of the relief valve and cause vibration and noise. At the same time, the customer compared our relief valve parameters and was very shocked, so he requested us to send some samples at their cost to them for comparison.
Half a month after sending the samples, we received an order from him. After the comparison test, the customer confirmed that there was no noise problem in the AAK relief valves, and the parameters were acceptable to them, so they decided to place an order with AAK.
In order to avoid the vibration and noise problems caused by the stuck valve core, AAK has already controlled the precision during the punching and grinding of the inner hole in the early stage, and each batch of relief valve must be debugged for 3 times to ensure the seamless connection with the valve core. After confirming that the processing accuracy is qualified, large-scale production can be arranged. In fact, only every process is not careless, a good relief valve can be made. The principle is simple, but often 90% of the manufacturers do not take it seriously.
Vibration and noise? You will not have this problem if using AAK flow valve. It is also not expensive because it is easy to use - great quality without trouble.

Andreas is a purchaser of a hydraulic cartridge valves company in
Germany, he has been successful for several years. Recently, due to the delay
in the delivery of a special order, the relationship with the customer is very
tense. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to lose this big customer with
an annual volume of more than 1.2 million US dollars.
The manufacturer promised to deliver the goods within 3 months, but now
the production efficiency is slow and the output can't keep up with the
previous arrangement. Andreas went to the factory half a month in advance to
keep an eye on the goods but it did not work. Everything was smooth from
quoting to ordering. He didn't expect that it would end up stuck in the
production delivery date. The delivery time was approaching, but the goods
could not be delivered. Andreas was helpless and had to negotiate with the
client about the delivery extension or order cancellation. The customer is very
angry after receiving the email. Cancellation will cause immeasurable loss
because it is a special order. The customer is forced to agree to delay for 2
months. Andreas walks on the thin ice, if he does not operate properly, the
company will pay a high amount of penalty.
It is the first time for Andreas to encounter such a situation that the
delivery time is estimated to be sufficient but goods can not be delivered in
the later period. Some domestic manufacturers are not serious about the
delivery date at all, because they are used to the domestic sales and the
production is slow, and the workers get off on time. If the customer is in a
hurry, nearly 90% of the manufacturers will choose to outsource processing.
However, due to the uncertain factors of Midway transportation and the quality
problems caused due to rush production by different factories, it is inevitable
that the quality will be uneven. At the same time, it will not be able to
guarantee the customer's delivery time. This is why the delivery time is estimated
to be efficient in the early stage, but not in the later stage.
In the face of pressure and lessons, Andreas can only decide to change
suppliers to divert orders. During the field visit in Zhejiang, he came to our
company by chance. He noticed that we were equipped with a number of
high-precision imported CNC lathes and a lot of small-scale processing
equipments. Due to no cooperation, he has some concerns about the delivery time
and quality of our company. However, he paid attention to many of our tweets,
he realized that we are not only professional, but also do hydraulic valves
with mindfulness and treat customers with sincerity. Andreas firmly transferred
the order to us.
One week after the start of production, Andreas came to our factory and
planned to stay for 2 weeks to track the quality and progress. Five days later,
he suddenly said that he had to go to other factories for something, and he is
OK for us to provide him with daily production report and quality inspection
video. After 40 days, mass production was fully completed. On the premise of
ensuring the quality, it was finished 15 days ahead of time. Andreas is awed by
our credibility.
AAK hydraulic valve factory not only has high-precision imported CNC
lathe, but also operates the workshop 24 hours a day. The employees work in two
shifts to ensure that the production line is manned all day and the output can
be 40% higher than that of peers. At present, 90% of the manufacturers do not
have the equipment of this scale.
Two months later, Andreas issued a repeat order. Since cooperating with
us, Andreas has not only avoided unnecessary losses in the early stage, but
also successfully recovered the reputation of major customers. Since the use of
AAK hydraulic valve, the order volume in the same period has gradually
increased, and the reputation is getting better and better. He told me
privately that it was the boss who asked him to keep track in our factory for
two weeks. He stayed for only 5 days and left because he firmly believed that
the order would not go wrong.
Guaranteed quality, quantity and delivery, what else do you worry about
AAK hydraulic valve?
Mr. Chen is the
purchasing manager of a well-known foreign trade company in Zhuhai. Recently, a
batch of goods produced in other factories had quality problem. With the
delivery time approaching, but problem could not be solved, he has a big
headache and can not eat or sleep well. A batch of relief valves made of 45
steel were produced under the normal debugging of the lathe, but after
inspection, it was found that the inner hole was seriously worn and deformed,
not to mention the valve core. Even if re-adjusted the parameters of the lathe,
same problem still exists. Due to the serious deformation, the production has
to be stopped but the delivery time is approaching, the boss is also in a
worry.
After some search,
Mr. Chen found that the material of 45 steel is soft and easy to wear. Even
after heat treatment, the hardness can not meet the test requirements.
Therefore, the use of this material is limited, generally only applicable to
the parts with light stress and less wear points. However, in the face of
increasingly fierce competition in the hydraulic valve market, many
manufacturers choose to use this material for its cheaper price to save cost. Therefore,
45 steel has become the first choice for their processing materials, which
results in uneven product quality and market price chaos. Mr. Chen is not an
exception, the original focus changed from quality comparison to price
comparison.
Through the Internet
search, Mr. Chen found our website and checked the parameter list of the relief
valve. At the same time, he also noticed that we had an article on steel
analysis in the early stage, so he took the initiative to contact our customer
service and inquired about some properties and advantages of 40Cr steel
material. Finally, with the mentality of trying, he transferred the order to
us. After a week, he tested our samples. Mr. Chen didn't expect that the
problems of wear and deformation could be solved easily, and the hardness test
also went to a new height.
The most commonly
used material of AAK hydraulic valve is 40Cr steel. After heat treatment at
appropriate temperature, the material not only achieves excellent comprehensive
mechanical properties in terms of toughness, plasticity
and wear resistance, but also enhances the fatigue resistance and hardenability
of the product and prolongs the service life of the product. At the same time,
our company has our own special technology on the surface hardening treatment
of steel such as high frequency quenching and tempering.
It has been 3 months
since we delivered the goods to Mr. Chen. Today, he purchased another batch of
relief valves made of 40Cr steel. He told me that since the use of AAK
hydraulic valves, customers have no complaints about material wear and leakage,
and the purchase volume is gradually increasing. According to the current
ordering frequency, the annual sales is expected to have a 30% increase
compared with previous years. The boss is very happy and pays more attention to
him now.
With AAK hydraulic valves made of 40Cr steel, do you still have the concern of quality comparison?
AAK strictly controls the fit clearance between the valve and the inner hole of the valve sleeve. For hydraulic valves with valve diameter less than 20mm, most of the factories has a fit clearance between 8μm and 20μm, and we can achieve 8μm-14μm, our deviation standard is 30% smaller than that of other factories. A Portuguese customer hesitated again and again, and placed an order with AAK 6 months later.
The fit clearance between the valve and the inner hole of the valve sleeve is very important in the whole hydraulic system. At present, many manufacturers have no such consciousness. In pursuit of profit, nearly 90% of the manufacturers try to reduce working procedures in order to speed up the production. The fit clearance is too large or too small, they do not care very much, as long as it can be assembled, the goods can be shipped. However, if the fit clearance is too large, the valve will skew in the valve sleeve, which makes the valve easy to be stuck; if the fit clearance is too small, the friction resistance will increase, and the valve will not move smoothly. Therefore, the fit clearance between the valve and the inner hole of the valve sleeve affects the normal use of the hydraulic valve seriously.
In discussing the problem of the fit clearance between the valve and the inner hole of the valve sleeve, the most impressive one in my mind was a Portuguese customer who just asked only some tentative questions and some data from us at the beginning. To my surprise, about 1 week later, he sent a very long email. It turned out that he had a batch of hydraulic valves, because of the improper fit clearance between the valve and the inner hole of the valve sleeve, nearly 30% of the products were unsalable. His original manufacturer had limited technical level and unfriendly service, was not able to give a solution even after the problem came out for two weeks, so he came to us for help.
We suggested that it is better to send hydraulic valve samples to us for analysis. Half a month later, we received the hydraulic valve samples sent by him. After testing, it was found that on the hydraulic valves with diameter less than 20mm, the fit clearance between the valve core and the inner hole of the valve sleeve fluctuated, some is 24μm, some is 15μm and some is 8μm. Obviously, the fit clearance accuracy was seriously insufficient, and the product accuracy was insufficient. Our standard acceptable range is 8-15μm, that is to say, our deviation standard is over 30% smaller than his original manufacturer.
Half a year later, this customer sent an email asking if we still have the hydraulic valve samples he sent last time and asked us to make proofs according to his samples first, and he will send an official order in three days. He told us that because of trust and admiration for our professional control to the fit clearance, there is no need for him to hesitate any more to place the order with AAK.
AAK hydraulic valve is very strict to the precision control. On the control of fit clearance, if the fit clearance is too small, we will grind the valve, whereas if the fit clearance is too large, we will re-match the valve, sometimes we will use our own patent electroplating process to increase the valve diameter, until the fit clearance debugged within the range of the standard. Presently, nearly 90% of our peers will not do like this or are not able to do so.
The accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve is recognized by the industry peers. What are you still waiting for? Come and try the order!

The original main problem was caused by the excessive fit clearance between the threaded cartridge valve and the valve block. The inspection showed that the clearance was about 8 μ M-10 μ m, and other parameters were basically normal.
We explained to him that with these parameters, the reason for poor oil seal effect of hydraulic valve is clear. In the current hydraulic valve market, nearly 95% of the manufacturers can only control the gap between 8 μm and 10 μM. After being used for more than 6 months, some hydraulic valves will have slight oil leakage. After listening to this, Jensen understood, and then asked if we had a solution. Compared with his current shipments, the fit clearance of AAK hydraulic valve was reduced to 2-3 μM. Jensen was shocked to see such a big difference in data comparison, so he took a video on the spot and sent our parameter data to the headquarters. The next day Jensen confirmed the quantity of the order with us and signed the PO.
Under the premise of normal use, the shelf life of AAK hydraulic valve can be lasted for 1-2 years, mainly because it is equipped with skilled production masters and advanced production equipment. At the same time, each product must be debugged by the R & D team before production. After all parameters are tested to be qualified, large-scale production can be arranged. This is why the clearance between AAK hydraulic valve and valve block can be controlled within 2-3 μM.
Last week, Jensen came to our factory again and brought a re-peat order, which was 3 times as much as before. In private, he also teased that if he had not met us, he already was not the manager any more. Now he has successfully kept his position and the boss is paying more attention to him.
High quality oil seal effect, AAK hydraulic valve can reach the height that peer can not reach!
AAK relief valve inner hole grinding (internal grinding) has to be debugged for at least 3 times, and large-scale production can be arranged only after seamless connection with valve core, which can avoid vibration and suppress noise. We are proud to say that at present, nearly 90% of manufacturers can not do so.
The relief valves from many manufacturers has a same problem, after being used for some time, there will be varying degrees of vibration and noise. This is due to the neglect of the control of the accuracy of the inner hole, resulting in the roughness of the inner hole. Therefore, in the process of use, after being adjusted several times, the valve core will be stuck, causing the pressure fluctuation of the relief valve, resulting in vibration and noise, which directly affects the normal use of the relief valve.
Some time ago, a Singaporean customer contacted us through the website, and a batch of relief valves was complained by consumers due to quality problems. There is no problem in the test before delivery, but there is noise in the hands of consumers. Nearly 30% of the products in the same batch have this problem.
Since we didn't see the relief valves, we couldn't analyze the specific reasons. We suggested that he send us several samples for detailed analysis. Seven days later, I received the relief valves from him. The surface gloss of these samples is very good. The internal parameter test shows that the accuracy deviation of the inner hole is very large (rough). After adjusting the flow rate for many times, it is easy for the valve core to be stuck, which is the key reason for vibration and noise.
We emailed him the test result, together with our product parameters. After receiving it, the customer immediately called back for consultation. I told him that in order to save costs and pursue production efficiency, many manufacturers ignored the control of inner hole precision in the production process. As long as consumers use it several times, the valve core will be stuck, resulting in the main valve not opening up or the main valve closing without pressure relief, which will cause the pressure fluctuation of the relief valve and cause vibration and noise. At the same time, the customer compared our relief valve parameters and was very shocked, so he requested us to send some samples at their cost to them for comparison.
Half a month after sending the samples, we received an order from him. After the comparison test, the customer confirmed that there was no noise problem in the AAK relief valves, and the parameters were acceptable to them, so they decided to place an order with AAK.
In order to avoid the vibration and noise problems caused by the stuck valve core, AAK has already controlled the precision during the punching and grinding of the inner hole in the early stage, and each batch of relief valve must be debugged for 3 times to ensure the seamless connection with the valve core. After confirming that the processing accuracy is qualified, large-scale production can be arranged. In fact, only every process is not careless, a good relief valve can be made. The principle is simple, but often 90% of the manufacturers do not take it seriously.
Vibration and noise? You will not have this problem if using AAK flow valve. It is also not expensive because it is easy to use - great quality without trouble.
AAK relief valve has already used Korean piano steel wire instead of carbon steel as the core material of pressure spring for a long time, which completely solves the vibration and noise problems caused by the deformation of pressure spring, which is not the only advantage of AAK relief valve. At present, nearly 90% of the factories can't do it, even if they think about it, they don't do it.
In the domestic market, many manufacturers do use carbon steel as pressure spring for relief valve. Carbon steel is cheap, easy to process and has high production efficiency. However, there may be a hidden and fatal problem. The hardness of carbon steel increases with the increase of carbon content, which leads to the decrease of plasticity and toughness, the weakening of tensile strength and the deterioration of stability. In use, as long as the spring is adjusted many times, the spring deformation is obvious and the resilience is weakened, which leads to the uneven pressure distribution and the radial force imbalance of the poppet valve, and causes the vibration and noise of the relief valve.
Mr.Wang, manager of a foreign trade company in Shenzhen, purchased a batch of relief valves in Zhejiang in the first half of this year. Now the customer complained that nearly 20% of the relief valves have vibration and noise phenomenon, seriously affecting the normal use of the relief valve. In order to find out the reason, Mr. Wang spent half a month in the main production base of hydraulic valve in China (Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang), and visited several manufacturers continuously.
The peer suggested him to contact AAK. After he arrived at our factory, we disassembled his relief valve sample and tested the parameters of the main parts such as the inner hole and spring. The results showed that the accuracy of the inner hole of the relief valve had reached the normal standard, but the tensile strength of the spring was not enough, which was the reason that affected the normal use of the overflow valve.
As early as five years ago, we have replaced carbon steel with piano steel wire to avoid vibration and noise caused by deformation of compression spring, and AAK relief valve has never received any complaints from customers.
After comparing the parameters of our relief valve assembled with the piano steel wire spring, he brought back some AAK relief valves for testing. About a week later, we received an order of 20,000 US dollars from the company of manager Wang.
AAK relief valve has been using Korean imported piano steel wire as the pressure spring. This material has high intensity, anti-fatigue performance, creep resistance, excellent flexibility and anti-corrosion. At the same time, its tensile strength is obviously much better than carbon steel. It is the first material choice for the pressure spring of AAK Hydraulic valves.
Why are orders for AAK hydraulic valves increasing? Because we've been working on small details and solving big problems one by one.
https://aakindustry.com/article/aak-relief-valve-uses-imported-piano-steel-wire-the-pressure-spring-has-no-noise-and-90-of-the-factory-can-do-but-do-not-want-to-do-i00030i1.html
The pressure spring used in AAK hydraulic valve is selected for 3 times, and then assembled into goods only after complete matching, which completely avoids the pressure shortage of the hydraulic system. At present, not many manufacturers control the quality accordingly to this standard, thus they encounter lots of quality complaints in this respect.
Many hydraulic valve manufacturers also use piano steel wire to make pressure spring, but the price of piano steel wire is high, and the processing technology is relatively difficult. In the production process of compression spring, if there is bending or the compression spring is too short, it will cause poor sealing performance of the joint between valve core (poppet valve) and valve seat. If the contact surface is too wide, impurities are easy to enter the valve body. This will increase the wear of valve core and valve seat, resulting in insufficient pressure in the hydraulic system.
A Russian customer who has worked with us for many years asked why there is big quality difference between AAK Hydraulic valve and some manufacturers. After using for a period of time, nearly 10% of their hydraulic valves have the problem that the system pressure can not go up. It was thought that it was an assembly error, but still could not be solved after many times of debugging.
The customer sent us several qualified samples and also several samples with problem. After testing the pressure spring, the spring size in the unqualified samples varies, some parts are slightly bent. However, the spring size of the qualified hydraulic valves is normal. In the feedback report, we told the customer that the same batch of springs must be screened for 3 times to eliminate some defective pieces. If the manufacturer reduces cost, or the skill of producing piano steel wire spring is insufficient, then the spring will have problem and the hydraulic valve system pressure can not raise high in the process of use. After knowing all the information, the customer had a careful deliberation, and informed us 3 days later that they decided to list AAK hydraulic valve as their exclusive supplier.
AAK hydraulic valve has the piano steel wire pressure spring screened at least 3 times, first in the production process, then in the assembly process, and finally in the test bench to ensure that the hydraulic system pressure debugging is normal during the operation of the hydraulic valve.
AAK is extremely picky about the quality of hydraulic valves, not finding words to exaggerate it, we feel that is the case.
Meticulously production attitude, American customer finally chose to cooperate with AAK
5 years ago, Mike was the backbone of a hydraulic valve company in the United States, responsible for domestic purchasing. Unexpectedly, he was arranged by the company to set up an office in China, so he had to bite the bullet and left his warm home for China. In Ningbo, he found many factories, but has not found any qualified suppliers. The U.S. headquarters is not satisfied with the progress of his work.
At that time of 5 years ago, due to the limitation of process equipment, the accuracy and stability of most of the hydraulic valves could not meet the requirements of the customers. At the same time, the operators were not skilled, they were in a hurry for delivery, and the quality of the shipments was uneven.
Some peers introduced AAK to Mike. He came to our workshop and didn't take a look at our equipment. He was not very satisfied with most of our hydraulic valves. We felt his disappointment. When he saw the whole production process of processing the core hole in the center of the hydraulic valve block, he stayed there for almost 7 minutes to pay attention to our operators' techniques. In the end, he left without saying anything.
At that time, we also knew that the equipment was our short board, but we put great importance to the processing of the core hole in the center of the hydraulic valve block, and took this as the core position. Only the operator with at least 3 years of experience can be at this position. In order to meet the requirements of the drawing - H7 tolerance level, roundness 0.005mm, cylindricity 0.005mm, roughness Ra0.8, two hole coaxiality 0.1mm, we adopted the processing technology of drilling, boring, reaming and rolling. Firstly, the bottom hole is processed to the processing capacity of φ 13 by alloy drill; secondly, the two-way boring is carried out with the coarse boring cutters of φ 13.8 and φ 15.1 to ensure the position accuracy of the hole; thirdly, the alloy reamer of φ 13.99 is used to stabilize the diameter of the hole. Finally, the size accuracy of the hole can be ensured by the adjustable rolling tool, and the roughness value required by the drawing can be achieved at the same time. Since in the industry for 10 years, AAK hydraulic valve has always been in the meticulous production attitude, and received support from a lot of customers.
After Mike visited the workshop, 3 days later, he gave us a drawing and asked us to make sample within 5 days. Finally, we became his first supplier in Ningbo. In the past 5 years, Mike purchased more and more from us year by year. He returned to the headquarters 2 years ago and is now the general director of overseas purchasing. By chance, I asked him why he had changed his view on AAK and chose to cooperate with us. He said that at that time, the hydraulic valve production equipment of many manufacturers were not mature, and the meticulous production state of AAK hydraulic valve employees conquered him. Fortunately, the whole production team of AAK hydraulic valve has never let him down in terms of quality and delivery date.
Meticulous production attitude is the premise of quality assurance of AAK hydraulic valve, welcome to try an order!
2 years ago, an American customer came to AAK to purchase
a batch of hydraulic valves with special requirements. After receiving the
shipment, the customer was full of praise for the quality. 3 months later, the
re-peat order asked for a 35% discount, because he found a factory 35% cheaper
than ours. We feel very confused. As far as we know, the hydraulic valve with
special requirements is unlikely to sell at such a low price, but the customer
still insists on it. We can only remind the customer to confirm the product quality
before placing an order, so as to avoid being cheated. In the following year,
we took the initiative to contact the customer, and the customer did not reply
to us.
In November, the American customer contacted us again,
and we asked why the customer chose to place an order with AAK again? The
customer said that the quality of the hydraulic valves they purchased from
other factories was unstable. Some of them leaked oil, some of them made noise,
and some of them had problems maintaining pressure. As a result, their working
stopped for several months. His boss was very disappointed with him. He also
tried to take samples from other factories, but found that the quality of AAK
hydraulic valve is the most stable. They are worried about whether we have increased
the price, our answer is: the product quality is still high quality, the price
is still the same. Last week we received his third re-peat order.
AAK hydraulic valve is favored by customers all over the
world. I always associate quality with my own character. If something is wrong,
it means that my character is wrong. The topic of quality has been talked about
countless times. This is something that almost everyone talks about, but how
many people are determined, sincere and have the ability to ensure quality and
quantity at the same time? My idea is different from that of my peers. People
talk about price before quality, but I insist on quality before price. People
choose steel which is easy to process, but I choose steel which has stable
performance, so as to better ensure product quality. This is the advantage of
AAK hydraulic valve.
I am a "face" person, can not tolerate quality
errors. To tell you the truth, most of the time, at all costs, we have to keep
the quality of the hydraulic valve. Sometimes the profit is very small, but we
have won the long-term customers of the hydraulic valve.
Cooperation with AAK, cooperation is character.
Smith is the purchasing director of a company for hydraulic valves in Pennsylvania, USA. Recently, there is an order that the pre-production samples are not consistent with the product drawing, and even after several revisions, the modified samples still can not match the drawings. Because the manufacturer has no professional engineer, the proofing master can't understand the drawings 100%, which leads to the difference between the pre-production samples and the drawings. Smith is very anxious because the delivery date is not waiting for him. The requirement of the headquarters is to find a reasonable solution within 15 days.
At present, in China, some manufacturers do not have professional design engineers, and the understanding of drawings is prone to deviation, not only the size problem, but also the core of product parameters. Even if the assistant can understand the drawings and let the proofing master follow the idea, it is likely that he will not be able to meet the customer's requirements, especially for the hydraulic valve which is particularly picky about the quality of details. With the instructions of the headquarters, Smith visited a number of manufacturers one after another, they either have no professional design engineers, or there were shortcomings in processing technology.
Smith contacted us through the Internet. After several email communications, Smith's team decided to visit our factory in 3 days. Smith visited our workshop, took out a set of design drawings, discussed with our technical team for 2 hours, and finally asked us to send samples within 10 days. Soon, we sent a sample of the hydraulic valve in only 1 week.
After receiving the approval sample, Smith immediately tested the product parameters, and the test results were consistent with the requirements of the drawing. Only then he can be assured that the requirements of the headquarters were achieved and the problem was solved.
After half a year of cooperation with AAK, Smith increased his business with AAK continuingly, especially on the development of new products, we have always been their first choice. Smith is now not only the company's head of hydraulic valve procurement, but also the head of the company's design department.
AAK hydraulic valve professional technical team, let you save time and have no worry.
AAK hydraulic valve has the quality that peers can't
do. A Spanish customer chose a cheaper price but still moved the order back to
AAK finally
In August last year, a Spanish customer paid for the proofing fee and
asked us to proofing according to his drawings. After receiving the approval
samples, he was very satisfied with the quality. In the order confirmation
stage, he was not satisfied with our quotation, and his target price was 20%
lower than our quote. We tactfully told that for such a high quality hydraulic
valve, we are indeed the most favorable price. After this email, we have no
information about this guest any more.
A few days ago, the Spanish customer sent us an email asking if we are
interested in continuing to make their order for hydraulic control check valve
according to the price discussed in August last year. We asked the customer why
they chose to place an order with AAK again. The customer said that last year,
because he thought our price was too high, he chose another supplier.
In the later communication, I learned that the price of the factory they
cooperated with last time was 20% cheaper than ours, so he chose to place an
order for this factory. However, in the inspection stage, the quality of the
bulk goods went wrong. Nearly 20% of the products produced can not return to
the initial oil sealing position when they are closed, or when they are closed
in the reverse direction, the valve core can not strictly seal the liquid flow
and cause leakage, or they can not reach the reverse unloading. He can't
deliver goods of this quality, and the factory doesn't cooperate with him to
produce again. He also tried to let other manufacturers to proofing, but the
parameters of the hydraulic check valve sample are not stable, he did not dare
to place an order.
This time, in order to ensure the quality and free of trouble, he decided
to choose AAK again. The next day, we received this return order from him as
scheduled.
AAK hydraulic valve is tolerant to all cooperative customers. We don't
force customers to place orders, or deliberately cater to customers' low price
demand to make low-quality hydraulic valves. Customers who choose AAK hydraulic
valve don't believe in low price and good quality. High price has its own
quality and after-sales service that low price can't make.
AAK hydraulic valve focus on brand and reputation, do not do poor
business, do not do business that just comparing price, do not do credit
orders.
AAK relief valve hydraulic
system has pressure for 100%, successfully save VIP customer of a California company
Caleb is the purchasing manager of Red and White Valve
company in California. He is responsible for purchasing all the hydraulic
valves in China. This time, he fell over the hydraulic system of the relief
valve. Nearly 20% of the relief valves purchased have no pressure in the
hydraulic system during commissioning, then the customer have not been able to
receive the full shipment due to shortage resulted from defective products.The
general manager of import dept was angry and asked Caleb to meet the demand of
this VIP customer within 3 weeks. However, the original supplier is in lack of
technology, and always get no accurate solution. For getting into this trouble,
even the delicious Chinese dishes he has always liked are now dull.
There are several situations that lead to no pressure
in the hydraulic system of the relief valve:
1. The relief valve is not cleaned during the assembly
process, and there are foreign matters between the valve core and the valve
seat.
2. Due to low accuracy, the main valve core is stuck.
As long as the accuracy of the valve core and sleeve
is guaranteed and attention is paid to the details in the assembly process,
this phenomenon can be completely eliminated.
In the middle of January 2021, Caleb contacted us from
the Internet. At that time, because the employees in the factory were busy on
catching up delivery, they didn't notice his email that day. The next day,
Caleb contacted us by landline. After a brief introduction and discussion, he
hoped that our technical team would have an immediate conference call with him.
After more than 2 hours of talking, he asked us to pay attention to his email,
and then happily hung up. Ten minutes later, we received a relief valve design
drawing and a relief valve stock sample picture from Caleb, he asked us to
submit the sample within 10 days. Soon, we sent samples of relief valve in 5
days. We also received the sample fee and express fee that he paid voluntarily.
Half a month later, we still didn't hear back from
Caleb. We thought that he didn't plan to proceed with this order. Surprisingly,
when we came back from Spring Festival and opened our email, we found that
Caleb's order was already there during the Spring Festival. Later, we learned
that he asked for more than one suppliers to send samples. Finally, through
parameter comparison and our proofing efficiency, he decided to cooperate with
AAK without hesitation.
Yesterday, I interacted with Caleb on LinkedIn and
learned that their VIP customer was very satisfied with the speed of their company's
problem solving. The general manager of import dept also praised him at the
summary meeting in January and called on other managers to keep up with him.
AAK hydraulic valve is not only professional for precision, but also for details, waiting for your drawings for cooperation.
5 samples and 4 times to improve accuracy, AAK
Hydraulic valve is used in aircraft
Working hard for 2 years, we have changed materials for 4 times, proofed for 5 times, and finally passed the accuracy approval, helping Russian customer win orders for hydraulic valves used in aircraft. AAK hydraulic valve has won the order of hydraulic valve used in aircraft, which makes us stand out from many domestic hydraulic valve suppliers and becomes the exclusive supplier of hydraulic valve for Russian customer in the field of aircraft.
At present, there is a very common phenomenon in the domestic hydraulic valve industry, "selling appearance", what is "selling appearance"? That is, customers place orders to a large enterprises, but the large enterprises process nearly 80% of the parts at small enterprises. The main reason is that small and medium-sized enterprises have low processing cost. They use domestic raw materials, ignore the differences in processing technology, resulting in uneven quality, and a lot of small problems: stuck valves, oil leakage, wear and tear, etc., which seriously affect the performance of products. Can this kind of hydraulic valves be used in aircraft?
2 years ago, I saw a salesman's quotation email to a Russian customer. When I saw the price, I felt that it was abnormal. After further checking the drawings and the requirements of the use scenarios, I learned that although the hydraulic valve product is small, the requirement for accuracy is the biggest challenge in our history. Customer asked us to proofing, nervous heart from that moment began. In the past 2 years, our company has been replacing the machine tools imported from Germany with higher accuracy, replacing the conventional machines with the test bench with more comprehensive test parameters, finally, by replacing the materials for 4 times and sending samples for 5 times, within 2 years, our company has successfully passed the parameter test of the hydraulic valve used by Russian customer in the aircraft, successfully meeting the customer requirements, and has become the exclusive supplier of this Russian customer for the hydraulic valves used in the aircraft field.
Since its establishment in 2012, AAK has always put technological innovation, high-quality raw materials and advanced equipment in the first place. In particular, we have two imported CNC lathes and more than 10 domestic CNC lathes, the accuracy of our hydraulic valves is over 30% higher than the peers, while 90% of the peers do not have the configuration of the production equipment.
There is no other reason why Russian customer finally chooses AAK as the exclusive supplier of hydraulic valves on airplanes. It is because that it can meet the accuracy requirements that other suppliers can't meet. We are willing to do things that others don't want to do, and we also try our best to do things that others can't do.
Hydraulic valves can be used in the aircraft, AAK technology should give you enough confidence!

AAK one-way valve changed to use fluorine rubber seal, North
Carolina customer placed the first order for $36,000
Leo, a hydraulic valve customer from North Carolina, recently ordered a one-way valve for forklift hydraulic system. Several approval samples could not be confirmed by his customer because of "slight error in some parameters". His customer was about to cancel the order. He is very anxious, there has been no suitable factory to cooperate with proofing.
Leo found our website on Google and sent an email asking if we could make a high demand check valve. After several times of communication, we learned that he received samples from several manufacturers but all the parameters of the hydraulic valves could not meet the standard. He asked whether we could help arrange proofing. To be safe, we asked if we can check the samples and parameters of the hydraulic valves that are not up to the standard first? A week later, we received the hydraulic valve samples from our Leo. After routine inspection, we found that the quality of these hydraulic valve samples was good. We were also confused why these hydraulic valves could not meet the standard.
If something goes wrong, there should a problem somewhere. We began to disassemble the hydraulic valve and eliminate the problem step by step. We found a little fluid mark on the surface of the seal ring of the hydraulic valve. Is there a mismatch between the seal ring and the medium? In the case of pressure and medium flow, the error of flow parameters does exist. We have found the reason why the samples of hydraulic valve can not be confirmed, the NBR seal is not suitable for the forklift hydraulic system. Perhaps few manufacturers will take the time to think and solve the problem. On the contrary, after two days of research, trial, analysis and discussion, AAK determined that fluoro rubber sealing ring is more suitable for such media, and its sealing performance and stability are more suitable than nitrile rubber sealing ring.
After 7 days, we successfully made several hydraulic valves, tested them by the test bench to make sure that the parameters were correct, then we sent the samples to Leo. After receiving the samples of our hydraulic valves, the engineer did not expect that their final customer was very satisfied with all the parameters of our samples after testing and analysis. The day after Leo received the samples, we also received his first order for the check valve worth more than 3,6000 US dollars.
Some factories are not willing to do simple hydraulic valves, but they are not able to do complex hydraulic valves well. The main reason is that the manufacturers do not have the awareness of craftsmen and ignore the control of details. The reason why AAK hydraulic valve quality has been recognized by customers all over the world in the past decade is that we always control details meticulously, can not tolerate a little sand, and always believe that details determine success or failure!
AAK hydraulic valve details control, save you time, AAK hydraulic valve craftsman consciousness, save you effort.
AAK professional hydraulic
valve sealing ring, zero leakage to ensure your safety
Yesterday,
we received an email from an American client that he saw several articles about
the sealing ring of hydraulic valve introduced on our website and he was
interested in knowing more and asked if we can introduce the classification of
hydraulic valve sealing ring and the corresponding media types in detail.
We are
happy to share this information, and would like to introduce the corresponding
relationship between the seal and medium of hydraulic valve mainly from the
following 3 aspects: types and medium resistance of hydraulic valve seal,
material classification and application of hydraulic valve seal, and
application and medium resistance classification of hydraulic valve seal.
The
types of hydraulic valve sealing rings and the media they are resistant to are
introduced as follows:
1.
Natural rubber (temperature 0-80 ℃) is suitable for drinking water, hot water,
oil-free air, etc., not suitable for petroleum media.
2.
Silicone rubber (temperature 70-260 ℃) is suitable for drinking water, hot water,
oil-free air and high temperature steam, but not suitable for petroleum media.
3.
Ethylene propylene rubber (temperature 50-150 ℃) is suitable for hot water, dilute acid,
oil-free air and a variety of chemicals, not for petroleum medium.
4. NBR
(temperature 30-85 ℃) is suitable for petroleum products, air with oil
vapor, vegetable oil and mineral oil, not suitable for hot water over 65 ℃ or hot dry air over 60 ℃.
5.
Fluorinated rubber (temperature 6-1480 ℃) is suitable for a variety of oxidizing
acids, petroleum, halogenated hydrocarbon, lubricating oil, hydraulic fluid,
organic liquid and air containing carbon hydride.
AAK
Hydraulic Valve can be used safely without accident!
AAK Hydraulic Valve adopts the safest sealing
material, 100% leakage free
Some time ago, a Russian customer mentioned in a chat that many of his
colleagues didn't know much about the material of the seal ring of the
hydraulic valves and lacked judgment in the purchasing process of the hydraulic
valves. They were recommended by the manufacturer every time, which led to the
leakage of most products. How to select the material of the seal ring?
In fact, more than one customer has mentioned this problem to me. Today,
we will continue to talk about "material classification and related
application of hydraulic valve sealing ring" and other related issues as
mentioned in the last article, maybe you can gain something from below brief
introduction:
1. NBR: NBR has
excellent resistance to fuel oil and aromatic solvents, but not to ketone,
ester and hydrogen chloride. Therefore, oil resistant sealing products are generally
based on nitrile rubber.
2. Fluorine rubber: fluorine
rubber has outstanding heat resistance (200 ~ 250 ℃), oil resistance,
can be used for manufacturing cylinder liner seal ring, rubber bowl and rotary
lip seal ring, it can significantly
improve the service time.
3. Silicone rubber: silicone
rubber has outstanding high and low temperature resistance, ozone resistance
and weather aging resistance. It can maintain its unique use elasticity, ozone
resistance and weather resistance in the working temperature range of - 70 ~
260 ℃. It is
suitable for making the sealing gasket required in the thermal mechanism, such
as strong light source lamp cover sealing ring, valve gasket etc.
4. Polyurethane
rubber: polyurethane rubber has excellent grindability
and good air tightness, and the service temperature range is generally - 20 ~
80 ℃. In
addition, it has medium oil resistance, oxygen resistance and ozone aging
resistance, but it is not resistant to acid-base, water, steam and ketones. It
is suitable for manufacturing all kinds of rubber sealing products, such as oil
seal, O-ring and diaphragm.
AAK Hydraulic Valve: Any valve Any one Any time Any where, Just Safety
AAK hydraulic valve choose the right seal, no matter
what medium is encountered, there is no leakage
After the first two articles about sealing rings and media have been posted, we have received a lot of e-mails from customers in recent days. It is very gratifying to find that many people have gained something. Today, we will continue to talk about the last aspect of "Application of common seals and classification of media resistance". The specific introduction is as follows:
1, NBR: oil resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, anti-aging. It is widely used in making sealing products, but not suitable for phosphate series hydraulic and gear oil containing polar additives. It can be used to make "O" ring and oil seal. It is suitable for general hydraulic and pneumatic systems. NBR is widely used in hydraulic valve system in China, and it is also the first choice of raw materials for hydraulic valve sealing ring.
2. Rubber and plastic: high modulus of elasticity, high strength, other properties as above. It is used to make O-ring, Y-ring and dust-proof ring. It is used in the sealing of construction machinery and high-pressure hydraulic system.
3. Fluororubber: heat resistant, acid and alkali resistant and other chemicals, oil resistant (including phosphate series hydraulic oil), suitable for all lubricating oil, gasoline, hydraulic oil, synthetic oil. At the same time, it is suitable for the sealing of high temperature resistant, chemical and fire-resistant hydraulic oil, and is widely used in metallurgy, electric power and other industries. Because of aging resistance and better elasticity than nitrile rubber, fluorinated rubber is preferred for hydraulic valves with high quality requirements.
4. Silicone rubber: good heat and cold resistance. The compression set is small, but the mechanical strength is low. It is suitable for high speed rotary seal at high and low temperature and food machinery seal. However, silicone rubber is not resistant to oil and has very poor aging resistance. Generally, it is not suitable for the hydraulic valve system. Because of the low price of silicone rubber, some manufacturers ignore the quality and choose silicone rubber as the sealing ring.
5. Polytetrafluoroethylene: good chemical stability, heat resistance, cold resistance, resistance to oil, water, steam, drugs and other media. High mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, low friction coefficient, good self lubrication. It is used to make wear-resistant ring, guide ring and retaining ring, and is a common sealing material in machinery, widely used in metallurgy, petrochemical, engineering machinery and light industry machinery.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, save time, worry, labor and money for you!
The inductance measuring
instrument is installed on each lathe, and each part size of AAK hydraulic
valve is accurate
The inductance measuring instrument is installed on every lathe, grinder and other equipment to ensure that the diameter, roundness and verticality of each part are displayed in time. The size of each part is accurate, and its accuracy can reach 0.5-1 μ m, and the parameters will be more than twice that of the same industry. This is unexpected to other manufacturers. German customer immediately sent an inquiry after visiting AAK Hydraulic Valve factory.
I still remember that at the end of BMW Shanghai 2018, Friedrich, a German customer, was very interested in AAK hydraulic valve. He asked me at that time, "How can the parameters of your products of the same type of hydraulic valve be better than those of other manufacturers?" I wittily replied that the thermometer is the key to the accuracy of temperature, if the measuring instruments of each factory are different, there must be parameter differences. As we were busy on closing up the booth, I gave him a business card before left and told him that if there is any problem, he would contact me at any time.
Two years later, Friedrich suddenly called me and said that he had arrived at the gate of our factory. At that time, I was very shocked. After further communication, I realized that he browsed many articles on our website, which was very enlightening. I showed him around the production workshop and told him the reasons for our advantages. He was shown the inductance meter. This instrument mainly uses the relative displacement of the inductance coil in the side head to display the measured size on the analog meter or digital meter through amplification, phase sensitive detection, analog-to-digital conversion, etc. its accuracy can reach 0.5-1 μ m, and its parameters will be nearly 2 times better than those in the same industry. It can accurately measure the size, which is the lack of other measuring instruments.
We use this advantage to install the inductance measuring instrument on each lathe, grinder and other mechanical processing equipment, which can measure the diameter, roundness, perpendicularity, etc. of the parts, and the processing size is indicated by the digital display meter of the inductance micrometer at any time, so that the operator can intuitively control it; and the micrometer can be given the required size in advance to make the processing to the required size. It will stop feeding and carry out the next action automatically. This can produce high-precision parts, but also reduce the waste rate of parts.
After listening to my introduction, Friedrich suddenly realized and recognized the accuracy of our products. Then he talked with us about some cooperation matters. Before going back, he asked us to prepare several samples for him to take back. After 15 days, Friedrich sent us an inquiry and emphasized the accuracy requirement of the product. We checked carefully and offered our quote based on his drawings and additional requirements. Three days later, Friedrich issued the official PO with amount of $100,000.
For the process quality control like AAK hydraulic valve, the peers have not thought of it. Our parameters are more than 2 times better than those of peers.
AAK Hydaraulic Valve, Any valve Any One Any Time Any Where, Just Safety for you
AAK Hydraulic Valve maintenance process not only less
detours, but also save you more than 30% of the cost
Recently, I chatted with a
European customer and learned that the vast majority of customers were vague
about the maintenance process of hydraulic valves. If you follow AAK hydraulic
valve maintenance process, not only less detours, you will also save more than
30% of the cost.
Disassembly and cleaning of
hydraulic valve is the first process of maintenance of hydraulic valve. For the
hydraulic valve failure caused by the oil deposition from hydraulic oil
pollution or the granular impurities in the hydraulic oil, the disassembly and
cleaning can generally eliminate the failure and restore the function of the
hydraulic valve. Common cleaning processes include:
1)
Remove. Although most of the parts of the hydraulic valve are
connected by bolts, the design of the hydraulic valve is for non-disassembly.
If there is no special equipment or professional technology, forced disassembly
is likely to cause damage to the hydraulic valve. Therefore, the structure of
the hydraulic valve and the connection between the parts should be mastered
before disassembly, and the position relationship between the parts should be
recorded during disassembly.
2)
Check and clean. Check the dirt deposition of
valve body, valve core and other parts, and remove the concentrated dirt with
cotton yarn, brush and non-metal scraper without damaging the working surface.
3)
Rough wash. Put the valve body, valve
core and other parts on the tray of the cleaning box, heat and soak them. The
compressed air is introduced into the bottom of the cleaning tank, and the
residual dirt is cleaned by the agitation of bubbles. If possible, ultrasonic
cleaning can be used.
4)
Fine washing. High pressure positioning
cleaning with cleaning solution, and finally drying with hot air. Qualified
enterprises can use the existing cleaning agent, individual occasions can also
use organic cleaning agent, such as diesel, gasoline.
5)
Assembly. Assemble according to the assembly diagram of hydraulic
valve or the assembly relationship of parts recorded during disassembly. Be
careful not to damage the parts during assembly. The original sealing material
is easy to be damaged during disassembly and should be replaced during
assembly.
However, the following
problems should be paid attention to during cleaning:
(1) for the dirt with long
deposition time and firm adhesion, do not scratch the matching surface during
cleaning.
(2) Pay attention to safety
when heating. Some inorganic cleaning solutions are toxic and may cause
poisoning when heated and volatilized, so they should be used with caution. At
the same time, the organic cleaning solutions are flammable and pay attention
to fire prevention.
(3) The cleaned parts should
be preserved to avoid corrosion or re pollution.
(4) The assembled hydraulic
valve can only be put into use after passing the test.
AAK Hydraulic Valve - buy at
ease, use without worry, maintenance is also attentive!
AAK relief valve has
no pressure loss, saving VIP customer for a Spanish client
The relief valve hydraulic system produced by AAK has pressure for 100%, the
stability is over 90% of the peers, which helped a Spanish importer became more
and more important for his VIP customer.
At present, in the domestic market, more than 90% of the manufacturers'
hydraulic system will have the case of no pressure, because of the assembly
process is not cleaned enough, leading to the existence of foreign bodies
between the valve core and the valve seat. However, one of the most important
reasons is that the accuracy of the product is not enough, so that the valve
core is stuck in the process of use, the pressure is abnormal, and the
manufacturer has to catch up with the schedule and save the cost. Under these
conditions, there are many problems, and of course, customer complaints are
increasing.
A Spanish importer of hydraulic valves purchased a batch of relief valves
in China some time ago. Nearly 20% of the relief valves had unstable pressure,
and there was no pressure in the hydraulic system during use, which resulted in
that they could not be supplied to his customers in time. The VIP customer of
the company complained to his boss because he couldn't receive enough goods.
After knowing this, the boss demanded to meet the quantity required by this
VIP customer within 3 weeks. However, the original supplier's technology suck
up and always failed to get the exact solution. When he hesitated, he happened
to see the link of our AAK website on Google. After further checking, he took
the initiative to contact us. After a brief introduction and discussion, he
hoped that our technical team would have a meeting with him now. After more
than 2 hours of communication, he sent us a design drawing and inventory sample
picture of the relief valve, and asked us to submit our approval sample within
10 days. Soon, we sent the relief valve sample within 5 days, and also received
the sample fee and express fee he paid voluntarily.
A month later, I received this order contract in the early morning, which
I thought it was not going to carry out. Later I learned that he had asked many
manufacturers to send samples. Finally, through parameter comparison, the
stability of our AAK relief valve and our proofing efficiency were recognized
by their VIP customer. So they decided to place an order with AAK without
hesitation.
In order to make sure that the produced relief valve have pressure for 100%
in the hydraulic system, during the assembly process, AAK relief valve is
cleaned 3 times with oil to clean the foreign matters between the valve core
and the valve seat, and then each relief valve is tested with a precision
inductance measuring instrument to ensure the stability of each AAK relief
valve and avoid the valve core sticking. AAK has meticulous production attitude,
not only to keep pace with the times on the technology, but also the stability
of AAK relief valve can catch up with and surpass 90% of its peers.
AAK relief valve has excellent technology, high stability, welcome to
try!
AAK Hydraulic Valve
ensures 0.8 μm accuracy and no leakage. A Spanish customer is enthusiastic and placed
the re-peat order
The roughness of the mounting surface below 0.8μm has always been the mandatory quota of AAK Hydraulic Valve to against leakage. By controlling the roughness of the seal ring and the mounting surface, and adjusting the parameters, the mounting surface is grinded for many times to ensure that leakage is avoided until every AAK hydraulic valve is not likely to leak. The roughness of the mounting surface can be controlled below 0.8μm, which is difficult for domestic peers to achieve.
Juan is the purchasing director of a Spanish hydraulic valve company in China market. One of his regular customers increases the orders by more than 30% every year. Some time ago, the old customer gave him an order with high precision requirements, and the roughness of the mounting surface of the hydraulic valve should be less than 0.8μm. According to his current understanding, the roughness of installation surface in Chinese factories is generally between 0.9-1.0 μm, which is difficult to meet the requirements of the customer. He did not dare to refuse the order from this old customer, but also worried about the quality not meeting the requirements, so he was in a dilemma.
Juan asked all his suppliers, but no factory could guarantee this accuracy. At the moment of hesitation, Juan contacted us through the introduction of a factory, and expressed his concerns and the customer's requirements for the product. I also explained to him that 95% of domestic manufacturers often neglect the accurate grinding of the mounting surface of hydraulic valves, resulting in rough surface of products produced, the roughness values of mounting surface are usually 1.2μm, 1.0μm, or 0.9μm etc. The control range fluctuates and cannot be stabilized in a standard range, which leads to the weakening of sealing during the installation process. Once the roughness is not well controlled, the leakage will increase, and then affect the normal operation of the whole hydraulic system. It is a critical value for the roughness of the mounting surface to reach 0.8μm, which is also lacking in the technology of many manufacturers.
Juan bought 5 samples from our company and went back to do parameter testing. 15 days later, Juan sent his order to us. After repeated confirmation, we were advised that his customer was very satisfied with our product parameters. Before placing the order, the customer repeatedly stressed that the production should strictly follow the standard of the samples and designated our factory to produce the order for him.
It's been two months since we delivered the goods to Juan. Last week, he sent AAK a repeat order for $80,000, and told me that since the use of AAK hydraulic valve with surface roughness less than 0.8μm, this old customer has sent him more and more inquiries for the high-precision hydraulic valve, which has also led to the increase of orders for other hydraulic valves. Now the order volume in a quarter is more than twice that in the same period. Now the boss is paying more and more attention to him, and he is working harder and harder.
The high precision AAK hydraulic valve guarantees the accuracy of 0.8μm and no leakage, which makes the domestic peers despair.
AAK Hydraulic Valve recommends
how to avoid power loss of hydraulic system
Today, an American customer talked to me about the power loss of the hydraulic system. I think it is necessary to talk about our AAK's point of view here.
People with a little mechanical knowledge know that energy will be converted to each other, and the conversion of energy also exists in the hydraulic system. On the one hand, the power of the hydraulic system will cause the loss of energy, which will reduce the overall efficiency of the system. On the other hand, the lost part of energy will be converted into heat energy, which will increase the temperature of the hydraulic oil, deteriorate the oil, and cause the failure of the hydraulic equipment . Therefore, when designing the hydraulic valve in the hydraulic system, on the premise of meeting the use requirements, we should also fully consider reducing the power loss of the system
Firstly, when the hydraulic oil flows through all kinds of hydraulic valves, there are inevitable pressure loss and flow loss. This part of the energy loss accounts for a large proportion of the total energy loss. Therefore, the reasonable selection of the hydraulic device and the adjustment of the pressure of the pressure valve is also an important aspect of reducing the power loss. The flow valve is selected according to the flow regulation range in the system, and its stable flow can meet the use requirements. The pressure of the pressure valve is as low as possible under the condition of meeting the normal work of the hydraulic equipment.
Secondly, if the actuator has the requirements of speed regulation, then when selecting the speed regulation circuit, it should not only meet the requirements of speed regulation, but also reduce the power loss as far as possible. The common speed control circuits are: throttle speed control circuit, volume speed control circuit, volume throttle speed control circuit. Among them, the power loss of throttling speed regulation circuit is large and the low-speed stability is good. The volume speed control circuit has neither overflow loss nor throttling loss, high efficiency, but poor stability at low speed. If we want to meet the two requirements at the same time, we can use the volume throttle speed control circuit combined by the differential pressure variable pump and the throttle valve, and make the pressure difference between the two ends of the throttle valve as small as possible to reduce the pressure loss.
Thirdly, suitable selection of hydraulic oil. When the hydraulic oil flows in the pipeline, it will show viscosity, and when the viscosity is too high, it will produce greater internal friction, causing oil heating, and increasing the resistance of oil flow. When the viscosity is too low, it is easy to cause leakage, which will reduce the volumetric efficiency of the system. Therefore, the oil with appropriate viscosity and good viscosity temperature characteristics is generally selected.
AAK hydraulic valve strictly avoid power loss of hydraulic system, everything is customer-centric!
American
customer visited 10 manufacturers in 3 days, but no solution. At last, AAK Hydraulic
Valve solved the problem
Gabriel is an American hydraulic valve
company purchasing in China. In the past 2 years, the purchasing work in China
has been smooth. Recently, American company is in urgent need of purchasing a
batch of high-precision pilot relief valve products in China. Gabriel visited
10 manufacturers in 3 consecutive days with no gain. After the samples
purchased from these manufacturers were tested in the United States, some
parameters could not meet the standard always. He was very anxious. Due to the
tight delivery date, the US company requested him to find a suitable factory
within 15 days. He is constantly looking for manufacturers both online and offline,
becoming more and more anxious.
By chance, Gabriel saw an AAK article
about the description of inductance micrometer on lathe on Google, so he tried
to get in touch with us. The next day Gabriel came to our factory, I took him
to visit the whole production workshop, and introduced in detail the working
principle and current advantages of the inductance micrometer installed on each
lathe.
The inductance micrometer mainly uses
the relative displacement of the inductance coil in the side head to display
the measured size on the analog meter head or digital meter head through
amplification, phase sensitive detection and analog-to-digital conversion. Its
accuracy can reach 0.5-1μm. It can measure the size accurately, which other
measuring instruments lack. Using the advantage of inductive micrometer, we
install it on each lathe, grinder and other mechanical processing equipment to
ensure that the diameter, roundness, perpendicularity of each part are
displayed in time, and the size of each part is accurate, so as to avoid the
poor accuracy of products caused by blade wear and untimely replacement, and
reduce the scrap rate of parts.
Gabriel seems to see the hope. When he
leaves, he asked us to make proofs according to the drawings in his hand, and
hope that we can deliver the samples within 5 days. As for all the expenses
arising from proofing, he will bear all the expenses. We feel the importance of
this order to Gabriel. The proofers work overtime and deliver the samples on
time. 2 weeks later, I suddenly received a call from Gabriel informing us that
we could prepare the raw materials in advance, the headquarter is running and
official order. After receiving the order, it took 1 month to produce, and we
delivered the goods on time.
It has been 45 days since Gabriel's
order was delivered. Recently, another re-peat order was placed. After further communication,
we know that the American company was very satisfied with the parameters of our
AAK Hydraulic valve. They were surprised that our parameters would be more than
twice as good as those of other factories. They are very glad to see that the
sales in the market are very optimistic and decide to place re-order to have
goods on stock ahead of time. Gabriel also said that he was very lucky to meet
us and help him solve this big problem. Not only did he successfully retain his
job, but the United States also paid more and more attention to Gabriel's
ability and promoted him to a purchasing manager, who was fully responsible for
the purchasing work in China.
AAK high-precision hydraulic valve,
parameters are better than the peer more than 2 times, which quality the peers have not realized.
After inspection failure,
Pablo communicated for 6 times and sourced for new factories for 4 days, but no
gain. AAK Hydraulic Valve solved his problem with quality goods in 25 days
Pablo is the purchaser of a Spanish hydraulic valve
company. He has an hydraulic valve order with early March delivery this year,
but problems were found in the spot check 15 days prior to delivery. Some
hydraulic valve spool completely stuck, some hydraulic valve spool movement is
not smooth. After 6 times of email or telephone communication with the factory,
the problem still can not be completely solved. The delivery time is
approaching day by day, the finished hydraulic valves can not be shipped, now
the factory also has no ability and time to re-produce the hydraulic valves
meeting customer quality.
Without a solution, Pablo has to tell customer the
situation. Fortunately, the customer can accept 30 days delay shipment. Once
bitten, twice shy. Pablo, who had learned a lesson, was extremely cautious and
decided to cancel the cooperation with the original manufacturer. It took 4
days for their purchasing team to source a new factory that was 100% satisfied
but still failed, Pablo became nervous.
Their QC came across us on the way to the industrial
park. QC came to our factory and we tested the hydraulic valve products he
brought. We found that the accuracy of the clearance dimension between the
spool and the inner hole of the valve body of these hydraulic valves is
seriously not enough, and these clearance dimensions are basically within 8 μ m—22
μ M, but our AAK hydraulic valve can reach 8 μ m—14 μ M.
If the clearance is too large, the valve core will skew in the valve body,
which makes the valve core easy to be stuck. If the clearance between the
reverse valve is too small, the friction resistance increases, so that the
valve core does not move smoothly. The valves on his hands just have both
problems. The QC wanted to take some samples back and happened to pass by the
workshop, so we randomly took some of the hydraulic valves that are just in packaging
to him, bringing tack to Pablo to see the quality.
5 days later, Pablo sent us an email to confirm the
price and delivery date, and hope that we can help to complete it within 30
days. If we can make it earlier, it would be the best. We learned that this
order was postponed by his customer without choice. In order to serve his
customer well, we arranged the workshop to work overtime, and matched the most
skilled technician to operate. 25 days later, shipment is ready and passed
inspection one time, guaranteed quality and quantity. Their QC came to our
factory to inspect the goods and told us that Pablo got our hydraulic valve
samples and did a complete set of parameter tests. He is very satisfied with
these parameters and indexes. At the same time, our hydraulic valve does not
have the phenomenon of stuck valve and valve core movement not smooth. He is
very satisfied with the overall quality of AAK hydraulic valves, especially
these samples are taken randomly from large goods.
Yesterday, Pablo said that customers were very
satisfied with their purchasing team's ability to deal with the crisis and were
ready to place a return order in early May. He is now more and more
authoritative in their team and more and more confident in his work.
AAK hydraulic valve never create troubles to customers,
buy at ease, use without worry!
With 10 years of hydraulic
experience, AAK hydraulic has become the first choice for purchasing by many of
the world's top 500 enterprises
In the past 10
years since entering the hydraulic industry, although the process of doing
hydraulic is bitter, we have gained the happiness of "doing things that
others can't do" and "doing things that others don't want to do"
on the way of hydraulic. Although the hydraulic road is difficult, it is never
crowded. Now AAK Hydraulic Valve is recognized by many famous hydraulic
enterprises, such as Hydra Force, Yuken, Rexroth and so on. On our way to
hydraulic, we not only have the guarantee of Swiss numerical control equipment,
but also have professional hydraulic team configuration. We strictly control
the hydraulic quality, ensure the quality and delivery time, and become the
first choice of many of the world's top 500 enterprises. There is no second
such hydraulic factory in Ningbo, the "hometown of hydraulic".
Hydra Force is one
of the top hydraulic brands in the United States. In 2015, a very occasional
meeting, the manager of Hydra Force agency was deeply impressed by AAK's
professional hydraulic team and rigorous production attitude. In the era of
making fast money, nearly 90% of domestic peers used domestic raw materials to
produce products with rough surface, uneven precision and a lot of small
problems, such as stuck valve, oil leakage, wear and so on, which seriously
affected the performance of products. During visiting AAK workshop, the manager
found that not only imported raw materials are used for key components, but
also high-precision production equipment is equipped. During the production and
before shipping, QC will be arranged for sampling inspection at any time, and
the surface of the products produced is smooth, and the accuracy error is
controlled within a reasonable range. On the second day of the investigation, the
manager resolutely suggested that we should research and develop a cartridge
hydraulic valve for Hydra Force. With the mentality of having a try, AAK
hydraulic team lived up to the expectations of the public, we changed the
materials for 3 times and made 4 proofing tests. After 2 years, our sample successfully
passed the parameter test of Hydra Force and reached a cooperation with Hydra Force
agency to become the exclusive supplier of its cartridge hydraulic valve.
Since the
establishment of AAK industrial hydraulic valve for 10 years, we firmly do not
do one-time business, and get 100% high quality customers, nearly none of them
changed supplier after using AAK hydraulic valves. Many old customers
constantly introduce new customers to us, and there has been no quality return
for 8 consecutive years. Such a factory may not have a second one in Ningbo. AAK
hydraulic factory not only has high precision CNC lathe imported from
Switzerland, but also core materials imported from Korea and Germany. With its
own proprietary technology, AAK hydraulic factory carries out hardening
treatment on steel surface, such as high-frequency quenching and tempering. The
Hydraulic production, to achieve 24-hour operation, reduce the time cost of
frequent line change, our hydraulic output is 40% higher than the peers,
regular arrangements for QC sampling, to ensure the quality of hydraulic, which
is currently 90% of the manufacturers lack.
AAK hydraulic customers not only don't step on the pit, but also spend
the same money to buy hydraulic products with better quality, service life and
mirror effect. Many customers have been paying attention to our hydraulic
system. Later, many customers made money. Why? Whether you've figured out the
reason or not, you should call or email AAK hydraulic,
AAK hydraulic valve to ensure the accuracy of the inner hole, and no vibration and noise, Canadian client impressed
The inner hole accuracy of hydraulic valve has always been the uncompromising point of AAK quality control. AAK is not only equipped with high-precision production equipment, but also strictly controls the precision of the die for the inner hole in the early stage. Each batch of hydraulic valves must be debugged for 3 times to ensure the seamless connection between the inner hole and the valve core, and to ensure that the hydraulic valves have no vibration and noise in the later use. In Ningbo, the "hometown of hydraulic valves", there may not be a second factory that is comparable.
Matthew is the buyer of a hydraulic valve company in Canada. He has contacted us many times before, but he is determined to pursue low price, so we have no cooperation till now. Last month, his supplier failed to get sample approved from his customer for 3 times. It is the approval sample for an order over $100,000. The customer mentioned that if the 4th Hydraulic valve sample still failed, the order would be cancelled. He realized that due to the limitation of technology, the original manufacturer could not be able to get approval from his customer even after making samples for 10 times.
5 days later, still no factory can guarantee that the sample of hydraulic valve can pass at one time. As time went on, Matthew became more and more anxious. He has been following the news on our website. At this time, he feels that maybe AAK hydraulic valve can do it.
We told him that if the accuracy of the inner hole of the hydraulic valve is not enough, the spool of the hydraulic valve will be stuck after a period of use, causing pressure fluctuations, various vibration and noise. At present, it is difficult for many manufacturers to avoid this phenomenon 100%, which is also the reason why the hydraulic valve is prone to failure. In the face of these problems, the vast majority of manufacturers are not thinking about how to solve, but how to shirk responsibility.
Aiming at the problem of his hydraulic valve, after several e-mail communications, Matthew became more and more interested in our quality control. He asked us to arrange make 4 samples of hydraulic valves as soon as possible, according to the customer's design draft. The key point was to avoid vibration, noise and other hydraulic problems. 1 week later, we sent the approval samples of hydraulic valves in time.
After half a month, Matthew decided to transfer the order to us. The sample parameters and debugging of AAK hydraulic valve were within the acceptable error range of the customers. The customers were very surprised by the qualitative change of their 4th hydraulic valve samples, and promised that more and more high-precision hydraulic valve inquires would be sent to their company.
AAK never evades any hydraulic problems, which is also the reason why new and old customers choose to cooperate with us for a long time. If you also have problems with hydraulic valves, please valve at! aakindustry.com
High precision AAK hydraulic valve, no vibration and noise, most of the domestic peers can’t do it or think of it.
3 factories failed to leak
free, finally AAK Hydraulic Valve solved the pain point of American customer
Andrew, a senior American purchaser for Hydraulic Valves, has recently ordered hydraulic valves. He visited 3 different hydraulic valve manufacturers in 3 times, but the inner leakage of the hydraulic valve sample is still very serious. The delivery is urgent and he is embattled. This order is for type PC12-00 hydraulic control check valve, but the hydraulic valve samples from these 3 manufacturers all have the problem on the leakage volume, and other technical parameters can meet the requirements. In desperation, Andrew has to source for new hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Andrew checked with all his hydraulic valve suppliers, none of them could reach 3 (drops)/ min@207bar Internal leakage parameters of the system. When hesitating, he happened to see our website AAK Hydraulic Valve on the Internet. After many inquiries, we sent him a similar product with very similar internal leakage parameters.
A week later, Andrew decided to visit our factory. In fact, we didn't hold much hope. It was learned later that after screening, all the indicators of our samples were basically in line with his requirements, and Andrew decided to choose AAK Hydraulic Valve. After visiting the workshop and many communications, we decided to try the sample according to his design draft.
Because his hydraulic valve is very strict in the control of internal leakage, it took us 10 days to proofing this type of one-way valve, which was originally to be finished in 7 days. Fortunately, Andrew was very satisfied with our hydraulic valve samples, and the parameter error of leakage in the hydraulic valve was within the acceptable range, so he signed an order contract with us on the same day, and stressed that delivery must be on time.
AAK Hydraulic Valve strictly control the "leakage", not only use the higher resistance and corrosion resistance fluoro rubber seal ring, but also install inductance measuring instrument on each lathe, grinder and other equipment, so that each part size is accurate, to ensure the accuracy of the hydraulic valve processing, so that users can use it more reassurance.
The word "leakage" is the most sensitive word in the hydraulic valve industry. For consumers, if there is leakage in the products they buy, it will affect the normal operation of the whole hydraulic system, which is the most concerned problem of consumers. However, in order to save costs, some hydraulic valve manufacturers cut corners, although the hydraulic valve did not leak in a short time, after many times of debugging, the leakage is more obvious. Although they have received many complaints from customers, it is difficult for many hydraulic valve manufacturers to make improvements. Due to the price, it has become a chaos in the hydraulic valve industry.
AAK has been on the way to solve the chaos of hydraulic valves. If you also need hydraulic valves, you can contact us at any time: valve at aakindustry com
The filtration accuracy is up to 10 microns. American
customer tried AAK Hydraulic Valve and re-ordered half a year later
AAK uses a high-precision filter, which makes the filtration accuracy of hydraulic oil reach 10 microns. In the industry, less than 10% of hydraulic valve manufacturers can achieve this accuracy. After comparison, American customer placed an order for AAK hydraulic valve and re-ordered half a year later.
The size of filtration accuracy will seriously affect the quality of hydraulic oil on the test bench, and then affect the service life of the threaded cartridge hydraulic valve. It has been mentioned before that the quality of oil is the premise of determining the service life of the hydraulic valve. However, nearly 90% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers are using the most conventional filters, and the filtration accuracy can only reach 25 microns, which leads to the failure to guarantee the service life of the hydraulic valve.
Blake, an American Hydraulic customer, usually purchases cartridge valves with a filtration accuracy of 25 microns. Recently, a special customer needs a batch of two position two-way cartridge valves with a filtration accuracy of 10 microns. However, none of his existing hydraulic valve suppliers can meet this requirement. Without choice, Blake had to look for a new manufacturer of hydraulic valve. After many rounds, by chance, Blake contacted us AAK hydraulic valve. We told him that for the control of filtration accuracy, the pore size of the filter element in the filter used by AAK is controlled at 10 μm, the hydraulic oil of the test bench pass through the filter screen before use, and the maximum allowable particle size is 10 μm. Whereas, the conventional hydraulic valve manufacturers are generally in accordance with the domestic standard of 25 μm, so it is very difficult to achieve our current filtration accuracy. The original service life of the hydraulic valve is 2 years, and the AAK hydraulic valve can guarantee at least 3-4 years.
With the mentality of having a try, Blake placed this order to AAK hydraulic valve. It has been more than half a year since the shipment. Today Blake issued a re-order with double quantity. Compared with other hydraulic valves purchased before, those who use AAK hydraulic valves have a very good market response, no stuck valve, no oil leakage, no repair, good stability and long service life.
In order to avoid the impurities in the hydraulic oil affecting the service life of the hydraulic valve, in addition to replacing the detected hydraulic oil regularly, AAK also use high-precision filter to filter the oil, so as to avoid the influence of impurities in the oil on the use of the hydraulic valve and ensure the service life of the product.
AAK hydraulic valve, good stability and long service life, you also try a small order?
Gerrard
is one of our Spanish hydraulic valve customers. Recently, he needs to purchase
a batch of hydraulic valves with very high precision requirements, mainly for
the hydraulic system of cranes. He visited no less than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers,
but found none of them is able to make the hydraulic valve with inner hole accuracy
error within +/- 1μm. Then this Spanish customer visited AAK Hydraulic Valve, and
signed an order of US$40,000 for hydraulic valve.
After
visiting a hydraulic valve factory in Ningbo called Ketai, a technical staff
inside mentioned to him that to reach this 1 μM error of the inner hole
accuracy requirements of the hydraulic valve, you may need to go to AAK Hydraulic
Valve, they just bought a honing machine imported from the United States, for
the 1μm accuracy error of the inner hole, they may be able to do it. Gerrard is
some in doubt about this and got AAK Hydraulic Valve address and contact
information from that staff.
Honing
machine is a kind of grinding machine which has higher requirements on the
accuracy of inner hole machining. It can guarantee the accuracy control of
inner hole of hydraulic valve. At present, few hydraulic valves have such high
accuracy requirements, so less than 5% of domestic manufacturers will choose to
equip with honing machines made in the United States to produce hydraulic
valves.
The
next morning, we received an email from Gerrard, he wanted to visit our
hydraulic valve factory. After knowing his requirements about the hydraulic
valve, we welcomed him to visit our workshop. In the production workshop, we
introduced him the performance and parameters of some machines in detail. At
the same time, he also looked at the whole operation process of honing machine
carefully. Finally, Gerrard asked if we could control the accuracy error of the
inner hole of the hydraulic valve within +/- 1μm. Because we haven't done such a hydraulic
valve before, we can't guarantee it and can only analyze the specific products.
Before leaving, Gerrard asked us to make hydraulic valve samples according to
his design drawings, with special emphasis on the accuracy error of the inner
hole of the hydraulic valve within 1μm.
After
15 days of sending out the sample of hydraulic valve, Gerrard signed a purchase
contract for hydraulic valve with us for US$40,000. Now it has been 3 months
since the shipment, out of my expectation, we received a re-order of hydraulic
valves today. According to his email, the sales of these valves are getting
better and better, and it is expected to re-peat the order 4-6 times a year. At
the same time, we also received several design drafts of high precision
hydraulic valves from his company.
AAK
high precision hydraulic valve, customers have no better choice elsewhere, you
should also try an order.
The quality of sun series
hydraulic valve produced by AAK is comparable to that of sun hydraulic valve
produced in the United States, and has successfully won the famous German
industrial hydraulic customer
The German customer who has used the American brand Sun series hydraulic valve for 5 years, after comparing over 10 Hydraulic valve manufacturers in China, decided to use the Sun series hydraulic valve produced by AAK instead of the Sun hydraulic valve produced in the United States, because the quality produced by AAK is the same as that of Sun brand, but the price is only half of that produced in the United States, this becomes the irresistible reason for famous German industrial hydraulic valve customer to choose AAK.
In recent years, many bosses are optimistic about the hydraulic valve industry, and 3 or 4 hundred hydraulic factories have been born at once. However, most of the factories start late and are not large-scale. Many small factories fight a price war in order to survive. There is on lowest price, only lower. The quality of the sun hydraulic valve produced by them is worrying.
In September 2018, we received an inquiry from a German hydraulic valve customer. The Sun hydraulic valve that they have purchased from the United States for 5 years, is really good quality, but the price of hydraulic valve is relatively high. They are very eager to find a supplier who can produce the sun hydraulic valve with comparable quality in China.
After getting the sun hydraulic valve samples produced in the United States, we AAK technology research and development department adjusted the production equipment and raw materials within 7 days, strictly controlled the product accuracy, and sent the samples within 1 week. In several months, the customer tested and compared the sun series hydraulic valves made by over 10 suppliers in China at the same time, of which 2 met the quality standard. However, the sun series hydraulic valves produced by AAK not only met the quality standard, but also had a price only half of that produced in the United States. The German customer finally decided to purchase the sun series hydraulic valves produced by AAK.
AAK hydraulic valve, founded 12 years ago, has been focusing on the world, making the hydraulic valve for global market and benchmarking the quality of hydraulic valve with the international first-line brand. As mentioned before, we don't compete with our peers in the low-end market. We only compete with our peers for high-end hydraulic valve customers who have requirements for quality.
AAK hydraulic valve can get the trust of German customer, the main advantages are as follows:
1. The core raw materials of AAK hydraulic valve are 100% imported and equipped with advanced Swiss CNC lathe. The accuracy of the hydraulic valve is 30% higher than our peers.
2. To be able to produce high-precision hydraulic valves used in "aircraft", most of our peers can’t expect it, and unable to do it neither.
3. At present, AAK has 3 domestic design patents, 4 proprietary processing technologies and processes, while 80% of our peers can only produce conventional hydraulic valves.
The quality of sun hydraulic valve produced by AAK is in line with the international first-line brand, which has successfully replaced the sun hydraulic valve produced in the United States. However, the price of our hydraulic valve is only half of that of sun, so it's real good price and quality to choose AAK hydraulic valve.
The filtration accuracy
reaches 10%μM hydraulic valve, Dutch customer can’t buy it anywhere else except
AAK
Patrick is a hydraulic valve customer in Holland. He has very high requirements for hydraulic parameters. Recently, he needed to purchase a batch of cartridge valves with hydraulic filtration accuracy of 10 microns. He contacted no less than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers, but no factory dares to accept this order. As the sales season approaches, the hydraulic valve factory has not been approved yet, he became anxious but also a little disheartened, while he was full of confidence in this hydraulic valve order at the beginning.
In recent years, many hydraulic valve manufacturers are used to making hydraulic valve orders from domestic main engine factories, and they don't pay much attention to many foreign trade hydraulic valve orders. The main engine factories have a large demand for hydraulic valves and a low threshold, which has become the "hot spot" of most manufacturers. This leads to a problem that it is difficult for foreign customers to find suitable manufacturers for the orders with high precision requirements.
Patrick contacted AAK through the introduction of his friends and kept asking questions about the parameters of the hydraulic valve. We also deliberately emphasized the control index of the filtration accuracy and replied to the technical questions with strong professionalism, which made him feel that maybe AAK hydraulic valve can meet the requirements of his hydraulic pressure parameters.
The next day, we received Patrick's drawings with detailed information and were requested to make samples. The email repeatedly mentioned the requirement of 10 microns filtration accuracy of hydraulic valve. To dispel his worries, we introduced the use principle of high-precision filter in detail. The pore diameter of filter element in the filter used by AAK can be controlled within 10μm. The hydraulic oil of the test bench is screened by the filter screen before use, and the maximum particle allowed to pass is 10μm.
90% of the conventional hydraulic valve manufacturers generally produce the hydraulic valve per the domestic standard of 25μm. The filtration accuracy can only reach 25 microns, which is too difficult to meet our current filtration standard. Therefore, the service life of these hydraulic valves is about 2 years. According to our production process, AAK hydraulic valve can guarantee 3-4 years, which is almost twice as long as the service life of the hydraulic valve in the same industry.
We sent out the samples in a week. After half a month of testing and comparison, Patrick finally chose to place an order with AAK. It has been more than 2 months since the delivery. Patrick emailed us that the sales volume of this hydraulic valve is very good. It is expected to re-peat the order in the near future and he will also develop a series of hydraulic valve products with the requirements of 10microns filtration precision.
To improve the filtration accuracy and ensure the service life of hydraulic valve products, AAK makes a standard that 90% of the peers can’t reach. Welcome to try an order with AAK.
AAK is equipped with American honing machine
to ensure the accuracy of inner hole of hydraulic valve comparable to Japan equipment
factory
Abe is a purchaser of a Japanese
oil research hydraulic company. In the past we contacted him for several times
via the exhibition in Shanghai, but because of his worry about the hydraulic
accuracy, we have never had the opportunity to cooperate with him. In April
this year, Abe had an order for hydraulic parts with a value of 130,000 US
dollars. The inner hole accuracy of this part needs to reach +/- 1 μM error,
but his supplier can not get the samples approved by his customer even after 4
proofing. His customer only give him the last chance to adjust the sample, if the
sample still can not meet the parameter standard, order has to be cancelled. He
realized that due to technological limitations, the original manufacturer could
not meet the customer's standard even if trying another 20 adjustments.
7 days later, no factory can
ensure that the precision of the inner hole can be controlled within 1 μ M.
With time passing by, the promised sample sending date is getting closer and
closer, Abe is also more and more anxious. By chance, he saw our News and
Events on the Internet. Based on previous contacts, he saw a glimmer of hope
this time.
After
receiving his email, we directly told him that we had just purchased a honing
machine imported from the United States, there is no problem to control the
inner hole of the hydraulic valve within the accuracy of 1μm. 2 weeks ago, a
Spanish hydraulic valve customer had already been convinced. Half an hour
later, Abe sent us the design draft of the hydraulic valve, and asked us to
make a sample immediately very carefully according to the parameters of the
hydraulic valve. We feel the importance he attaches to this sample. On the same
day, we arranged the customized material and studied the design draft, and told
him that the hydraulic valve sample can be sent in 7 days.
20
days after sending the sample of hydraulic valve, Abe signed this order
contract with us. We were advised that after many parameter tests, the customer
was very satisfied with the accuracy of our AAK products, it is within the
acceptable error range, the gloss of the product surface was much better than
that of the previous manufacturers.
His
customer is very satisfied that they can quickly complete this high-precision
hydraulic valve, and told that the market sales must be very good. At the same
time, it is promised that the future oil research hydraulic orders will be
placed with AAK gradually.
Honing
machine is a kind of grinding machine which has higher requirements on the
accuracy of inner hole machining. It can guarantee the accuracy control of
inner hole of hydraulic valve. At present, few hydraulic valves have such high
accuracy requirements, so less than 5% of domestic manufacturers will be
equipped with American honing machine to produce hydraulic valves.
AAK
hydraulic valve accuracy convinced the Japanese equipment manufacturers. You
can also have a try. Email: valve aakindustry com
With 12 years of
observation, AAK talk about the current hydraulic valve industry and compare
the differences between the superior and inferior factories
In a chat with an American hydraulic valve customer some time ago, he mentioned that the current hydraulic industry in China really scared him, and it was difficult to find a hydraulic valve factory that made him really reassured. Some factories are good in quality, but the overall service awareness is too bad. Some factories have very good approval samples of hydraulic valves, but you are greatly surprised by the shipment goods. I said with a smile that each industry has its own happiness and misfortune. The core is to find a hydraulic valve factory with a positive mind and then he can treat you sincerely so that you can be relieved.
Let's talk about the current situation of the domestic hydraulic valve industry. I hope it can be a little helpful to the customers who need it. 90% of the factories only make conventional hydraulic valves according to their own ideas, basically without the stability and safety awareness of industrial products, and lack the spirit of craftsman. Their only purpose is to pursue the maximum profit, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Material - use easy cutting, low loss of domestic 1214 steel for the valve sleeve, valve core, easy to cause hydraulic valve deformation, oil leakage; use carbon steel for the pressure spring, the recovery of spring is weakened, which easily affects the adjustment of hydraulic valve.
Production process - try to save the process and speed up the production. Regarding the size of the gap between the components is too large or too small, they do not very care. As long as the components can be assembled, they are almost regarded as the finished products for the shipment. No testing, assemble and use directly, then the hydraulic valves are easy to leak pressure and oil.
Accuracy - the most basic accuracy of the roughness of the mounting surface of the hydraulic valve is not stable within the standard range, the sealing of the hydraulic valve is weakened, and it is easy to leak. The clearance dimensions between the valve core and the inner hole of the valve body of the hydraulic valve are basically within 8 μm—22 μm. In this range, the hydraulic valve core is easy to be completely stuck. Due to limited equipment, they do not dare to think about the accuracy requirements, not mention to do.
Quality - the product is directly packaged and shipped without pressure test. They do not test the steel, or even do not do heat treatment, just have a superficial knowledge of the toughness, plasticity, fatigue resistance, hardenability, wear resistance and other comprehensive mechanical properties.
Certainly, there are also a few factories, such as we AAK Hydraulic Valve, is mainly positioned to do hydraulic valves for high re-buy rate, long-term business and high-end customers. Our purpose is to do a business, let customers receive sincere, let customers make more money than their peers, focus on the customer's re-buy rate, and make ourselves become the evergreen tree of the hydraulic valve industry. Thus, we have our own standards and requirements:
Equipment - lathes imported from Switzerland, honing machines imported from the United States, equipped with inductance measuring instruments to guarantee the accuracy.
Material – 100% imported material for core components. Each material is 100% tested and 100% heat treatment.
Production Process - Each batch of hydraulic valves must be debugged for 3 times to ensure the seamless connection between the inner hole and the valve core. Each finished product has been tested by the test bench and checked by a professional tester with 7 years' experience.
Quality - No re-buy is a failure. Adhere
sincerity to the customer, adhere mindfulness to the quality.
I hope the above can help you. If you have any questions later, please contact us via email valveataakindustrycom
AAK hydraulic
valve filtration accuracy reaches 10μm, it is over 2 times higher than peers,
and service life is also 2 years longer
25μm is the conventional index that most
domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers can achieve. AAK uses a high-precision
filter, so that the filtering accuracy of hydraulic oil can reach 10μm. It's 2
times higher than the peers. For the hydraulic valve with high precision and
higher requirements, nearly 90% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers can do
nothing.
The filtration accuracy of hydraulic valve will
seriously affect the service life of hydraulic valve. The larger the filtration
accuracy is, the larger the size of the impurity particles of the hydraulic oil
passing through the internal filter of the filter will be, which will increase
the friction resistance of the valve core and shorten the service life of the
hydraulic valve. 90% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers use the most
conventional filters with a filtration accuracy of 25μm, so the life of
hydraulic valve becomes an uncertain problem.
Thomas is a purchaser of an Italian hydraulic valve
company, and has been cooperating with us since 2019. The first hydraulic valve
order he placed to us is still fresh in his memory. Every time when he chatted
with us, he mentioned these interesting things. His customer needed a hydraulic
valve with filtration accuracy of 10μM, he sent inquiries to over 10 factories,
and communicated via emails over and over again in 3 days, and finally gained nothing.
Only when I received his email, I knew that one of our
Italian hydraulic valve customers introduced us to him that maybe AAK Hydraulic
Valve can solve this problem. We told him that 3 years ago, a German customer
had already purchased the hydraulic valve with 10μM filter precision, until now
he has been ordering from AAK.
Thomas received our reply and asked us to proofing
according to his design draft first. 15 days after sending the sample, Thomas
called us to express his surprise and joy, and asked us to prepare the
material. The first order for hydraulic valve will be sent to us in the next
few days. Upon receipt of sample of hydraulic valve, he tested and compared the
samples in half a month. The hydraulic parameters of AAK sample is
significantly higher than those of other peers, especially the filtration
accuracy is over 2 times higher than that of peers. His customer is very
shocked and satisfied.
Thomas wanted to know how we achieved it. Thanks to
the German customer a few years ago, after more than 2 months of debugging, we
improved the process on the sample, adjusted the parameters of the equipment, configured
a high-precision filter with AAK special hydraulic oil, then we can control the
filtration accuracy of particles in the hydraulic oil up to 10μm. Under the
same working conditions, if the hydraulic valve of the peers has a service life
of 2 years, the service life of AAK hydraulic valve can be extended to 3-4
years.
If you can't find a
suitable hydraulic valve manufacturer, you may contact AAK Hydraulic Valve valve at aakindustry

Bruce contacted 15 factories
but gained nothing, finally AAK met his requirements for
the high precision hydraulic sequence valve
Today, we received the third order
from Bruce team. Bruce is the purchaser of a French hydraulic valve company. Last
August, he had orders for several types of sequence valves. Because the
accuracy requirements of sequence valve are very high, in Zhenhai, Ningbo, the
hometown of hydraulic valve, he checked with no less than 15 factories, but the
parameters of their hydraulic valve can not meet the requirements. He selected
3 hydraulic valve factories who has the parameters closest to the requirements.
However, the samples of these sequence
valves are either of different quality, or can not pass the parameter test. It
took him more than 40 days, but none of the factories can reassure him.
He was frustrated.
In Mid-September, he saw our website www.aakindustry.com by chance. With doubt,
he emailed us to ask about the parameters of the hydraulic valve. After a few
rounds of email communication, he felt that maybe AAK hydraulic valve could do
it. Later, he sent a detailed drawing of the sequence valve, with every detail
of the sequence valve, the media, and the use scenarios. He also asked us to make
samples. It was the first time for us to see such detailed drawing of hydraulic
valve.
After receiving
the sample of AAK sequence valve, Bruce team spent 15 days on testing and
comparing the samples. The test results gave their team hope, all the
parameters meet the standard, but the tightness of the sequence valve is still
a little uneasy. They asked if AAK can still make improvements. We were also a
little surprised that there was a problem with the sealing performance, because
no guest has ever complained about the sealing performance of the AAK hydraulic
valve. After doing many tests on the samples we kept on hand, we found that the
NBR seal ring is not suitable for this kind of sequence valve. After 3 trials, it
is determined that the fluororubber seal ring is the perfect match for this
sequence valve. After they received revised samples of AAK sequence valve, we
received the order for this series of sequence valve from Bruce within 1 week.
Many factories can
do sequence valve, but few hydraulic valve factories can really meet the
requirements of some special customers for the high-precision hydraulic quality.
Many hydraulic valve manufacturers simplified the production process, leading
to uneven quality, it is basically a one-time business. Coincidentally, in
recent years, we AAK Hydraulic Valve, with guaranteed quality and quantity, the
spirit of craftsmen to overcome difficulties, and the sincere service details,
has been 100% recognized by our customers. Many old customers have constantly
introduced new customers to us. For 8 consecutive years, there has been no
quality return. Perhaps there is no second factory like this in Ningbo.
AAK hydraulic factory is
not only equipped with high precision CNC lathe imported from Switzerland, but
also import the core materials from South Korea and Germany, with our own proprietary
hydraulic technology, never cutting corners, quality control is more QC than
the customer's QC, AAK hydraulic valve, it worth you a try for purchasing.
AAK mass produced a hydraulic throttle
valve 3 years ago that peers are still not able to do, pleasantly surprised a
Russian customer
Vadali is the purchasing manager of a hydraulic valve company in Russia. Some time ago, he wanted to purchase a hydraulic throttle valve with the internal leakage parameters within 3 (drops)/ min@207bar. It took more than 10 days, but the throttle valve samples provided by his hydraulic valve supplier failed to meet the test parameters. He did not know that AAK mass produced this type of hydraulic throttle valve 3 years ago, so it is not difficult for us and our sample is approved 15 days after it was sent.
He contacted some hydraulic valve manufacturers from the Internet, because he never cooperated with them and was a little concerned. When hesitating, a buyer in his team suggested contacting AAK to have a try: AAK Hydraulic Valve is a powerful manufacturer for hydraulic industry in Ningbo and is trustworthy. You can go to their website for a review and then decide whether it is worth a test with AAK Hydraulic Valve.
After reviewing our website www.aakindustry.com, Vadali posted a message on our website. After several rounds of interaction, he asked us to check his email after 2 hours. We were requested to spend 2 hours to research his hydraulic throttle valve drawing carefully. Then he also wanted to communicate with our technical staff. It was the first time that we met a Russian customer that is so cautious. Maybe he had been in troubles for many times in the past with the other suppliers.
In the video conference, Vadali explained the requirements of every detail to the product in the drawing, and reminded the difficult points. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized that the internal leakage parameters of the hydraulic throttle valve must meet the standard of 3 (drops)/ min@207bar. We asked him what scene the hydraulic throttle valve would be used in. When he learned that we shipped several shipments of similar hydraulic throttle valve to Italy in 2018, he seemed to relax instantly and ended the meeting with a sentence "I'll be waiting for your approval sample for this throttle valve. "
15 days after the samples were sent, we received email from Vadali that our hydraulic throttle valve samples meet the standard of 3 (drops)/ min@207bar, and the overall quality of AAK hydraulic throttle valve is also satisfying. He was curious how we achieved it?
The internal leakage of hydraulic valves has always been the important index of AAK quality control. According to different scenarios of hydraulic valves, the sealing ring with higher anti-aging and stronger corrosion resistance is selected. In addition, inductance measuring instrument is installed on every lathe, grinder and other equipment to make sure that each part is in accurate size, then the machining accuracy of hydraulic valve is guaranteed.
Why does AAK hydraulic throttle valve is better than its peers?
1. The core raw materials of AAK Hydraulic Valve are 100% imported, and advanced Swiss CNC lathes are equipped. The accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve is 30% higher than its peers.
2. AAK is able to produce high-precision hydraulic valves used in "aircraft", most of our peers can not think about it and are also not able to do it.
3. At present, AAK has 3 domestic design patents, 4 proprietary processing technologies and processes, and 80% of our peers can only produce conventional hydraulic valves.
No need to have any worry about the internal leakage of hydraulic throttle valve produced by AAK, welcome to try an order!
After being used for a period of time, the hydraulic flow valve will scream, which is a common problem in the domestic hydraulic valve industry, also a pain point. Has this pain point been solved? It's solved. Who solved it? AAK Hydraulic Valve. The roundness error of sealing oil surface of AAK hydraulic flow valve is twice as small as that of its peers, Russian client can't refuse and have to choose AAK hydraulic flow valve.
In recent years, many manufacturers have been fighting a price war for survival. For hydraulic flow valves with the same price, there are problems such as valve stuck, oil leakage and even scream in the process of use. These problems do not happen to flow valves from only 1 or 2 manufacturers, but almost a common phenomenon in the hydraulic valve industry.
In April this year, we received an inquiry from a Russian customer about the hydraulic flow valve. From the customs data, we knew that this customer has been purchasing hydraulic flow valves from China for more than 4 years. We did not quote in a hurry. After several rounds of email communication, we finally knew why he wants to find a new supplier.
The hydraulic valves he purchased in the past, after being used for a period of time, there would be a scream. Although the previous supplier was very cooperative to improve, the scream of the hydraulic flow valve still exists, just that the probability of a scream to happen is reduced. Due to technique limitation, the problem can not be solved completely, he has to source another manufacturer who can produce the hydraulic flow valve and the hydraulic flow valve will not scream in the use.
He contacted with over 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers in different areas of China. After several rounds of communication, he selected 5 factories to have a second comparison. AAK Hydraulic Valve and the other 4 factories received the same drawing for a hydraulic flow valve, and were requested to offer samples and quotes for this hydraulic flow valve in 15 days.
AAK sent quotes and samples of the hydraulic flow valve in the requested time frame, and also reminded the customer that the main reason for the scream of the hydraulic flow valve is the roundness error of the sealing oil surface of the hydraulic valve.
If the size error of the sealing surface is too large, the force of the pressure regulating spring will be unbalanced, and the oscillation of the poppet valve will be intensified, resulting in scream phenomenon. The smaller the error size, the better. In the detection of hydraulic valve parameters, this size can be measured pertinently.
A month later, we didn't hear any news from this customer. We thought we were out from the competition. Last week, we received his inquiry unexpectedly. At the same time, he also told us the result of the comparison among the 5 hydraulic valve factories in the second round. He was very satisfied with the regular parameters of the hydraulic flow valves from all 5 factories. In the aspect of roundness error of sealing oil surface, the size error of 2 factories was 0.005-0.01mm, and 0.011-0.02mm from the other 3 factories. AAK hydraulic flow valve is one of those 2 factories. The reason why he finally chose AAK for cooperation lies in our kind reminder before sending samples. He saw our wholehearted treatment to him herein.
Why does AAK hydraulic flow valve is better than its peers?
1) AAK is equipped with honing machine imported from the United States and the inductance measuring instrument. The accuracy error of inner hole is controlled within +/-1 μm, the accuracy is guaranteed.
2) Core components, 100% imported materials; Each material, 100% testing, 100% heat treatment.
3) No re-buy means a failure for us. AAK adhere to sincerity to customers, adhere to mindfulness to quality.
AAK is a factory which is addicted to quality, facing the global hydraulic valve market, keeping pace with the international first-line brands, accurately controlling the error range and ensuring product quality.
If you have requirements on quality, do not hesitate to contact AAK Hydraulic Valve: valve AT aakindustry.com
AAK Hydraulic Valve Block 4 Processing Features, Peers may think of it but not Do it
After the previous article talking about the manufacturing process of hydraulic valve block, we received many customers' message on our website. The new customers have not purchased our AAK hydraulic valve block yet, so it is understandable to have worries. In order to further clarify the quality advantages of AAK hydraulic valve block, I will talk about some production precautions of AAK in the production process of hydraulic valve block, as follows:
1. The surface roughness of the valve and flange installed on the hydraulic valve block shall reach Ra0.4, and the surface roughness of the sealing surface of the end pipe joint shall reach Ra3.2. In addition, the tolerance of perpendicularity between the screw hole of pipe joint and its outer joint surface shall be at least Grade 8.
2. In the design of hydraulic valve block, the oil circuit should be as simple as possible, and the deep hole, inclined hole and process hole should be reduced as far as possible. The hole diameter in the valve block should match with the flow rate, especially the through hole must have enough flow area, the direction and position of the oil inlet and outlet should match with the general layout of the system and the connection form of the pipeline, and the process of installation operation should be considered. The components with vertical or horizontal installation requirements must meet the requirements after installation.
3. All screw holes on the valve block should have machining accuracy requirements. Generally, 7h is selected. The machining accuracy of the mounting holes of threaded cartridge valves meets the requirements of product samples. The roughness of the mounting holes of cartridge valves is Ra0.8. In addition, there are also dimensional tolerance and geometric tolerance requirements. The surface roughness of 0-ring groove is Ra3.2, and the surface roughness of general runner is Ra12.5.
4. The high pressure valve block should be made of 35 forged steel, and the general valve block should be made of A3 steel or ductile iron. When cutting the valve block material from the plate by gas cutting, enough machining allowance should be reserved, and it is better to forge the blank of the valve block before machining. The material for processing valve block shall be compact in internal structure, free from interlayer, trachoma and other defects, and the blank shall be detected if necessary. Cast iron blocks and larger steel blocks should be aged and pretreated before processing.
The important component of the hydraulic valve is the hydraulic valve block, which plays an important role in controlling the direction, pressure and flow of the liquid flow in the hydraulic valve. AAK has its own proprietary technology, quality control system, never careless. If you also need to purchase hydraulic valve block, please contact us, email: valve aakindustry com
The spool of AAK hydraulic valve is made of high-grade tool steel with special heat treatment process. The hardness of the spool can reach 65HRC, which is even 7HRC higher than the 58HRC high-quality of the peers. Carson spent more than 2 months in making samples with 7 hydraulic valve factories. The hydraulic flow valves he got were all below 54HRC, while the hardness of AAK valve spool was 65hrc, which solved his urgent need.
At present, the hardness processing for precision parts from many hydraulic valve counterparts can not reach the high index. It seems to be qualified for domestic market, but far away from the high requirements of hydraulic valve products exported to overseas. First of all, these hydraulic valve factories do not have professional and systematic knowledge about how to choose the most suitable alloy steel material. Then, most importantly, the heat treatment is led by the processing plant, because the heat treatment is outsourcing processing, and 20% of the factory changes the processing plant every time, so the hardness can not be guaranteed, not to mention stability. Because of these common faults in the industry, the spool of hydraulic valve shows the problems of easy deformation, fast wear and so on after being used for a period of time.
Carson, a new customer of hydraulic valves in the United States, left a message on our website www.aakindustry.com at the end of 2020. We have been in a continuous interaction, but never had the opportunity to cooperate. Last month, he has an order for a hydraulic flow valve. His customer had a specific requirement of 64HRC for the hardness of the valve spool. He spent more than 2 months with 7 suppliers to make samples, but the hardness of the spool of the hydraulic flow valve still couldn't pass the test. These suppliers of hydraulic flow valve adjusted the material for many times, but the hardness of the valve spool could not meet the standard.
With the delivery date approaching, Carson was very worried. He asked us by email if we could make a hydraulic flow valve, and the specific hardness requirement of the valve spool is 64HRC. With so many years of experience in hydraulic valve export, AAK is more and more strict in controlling every detail. Especially in the processing of valve spool, the technology is becoming more and more mature.
For the material selection of the valve spool, we need to select the most suitable steel according to the use scene of the hydraulic valve, the medium used, and the customer's hydraulic parameters, combined with the wear resistance, linear expansion coefficient, deformation of different steels. The high grade tool steels like Cr12MoV, 12CrNi3A, 18crniwa and GCr15 are what we commonly choose.
In the hardness control of the valve spool of the hydraulic flow valve, the last and most important step is the heat treatment process of steel. If the hardness needs to be above 64HRC, the carbon content of steel should be considered first, and then find a way in heat treatment. Steels with different contents need different heat treatment methods in quenching, carburizing and nitriding. Pretreatment, quenching, cold treatment, tempering, aging, fine processing, secondary aging, aging temperature and holding time of these processes are the key. We can achieve the aging temperature of 420 ℃ and heat preservation for more than 10h, and we can obtain hardness of 65HRC or more, which is beyond the imagination and ability of our peers.
After 15 days of design and proofing, AAK successfully sent the hydraulic flow control valve to Carson. Within 7 days after receiving the flow hydraulic valve sample, he placed an order of 1 million hydraulic flow control valves with AAK, because the spool hardness of our hydraulic flow valve sample reaches 65HRC.
AAK Hydraulic Valve is able to solve the urgent needs of new and old customers, because of the picky attitude on technology of all AAK staff. Welcome to try an order!
The quality of the valve spool can only be measured and compared from the 4 main aspects: the movement sensitivity, stability, no leakage and long service life of the spool in the valve body. The 6 processing procedures and 6 parameters of AAK valve spool also impressed Russian customers.
At present, some of the valve spools used by the hydraulic valve manufacturers are purchased outside from the valve spool factory, which is the common market goods well known in the hydraulic valve industry, with high output and low price. There are also hydraulic valve manufacturers that produce valve spools themselves, but the workshop only produces and tests according to the process sheet of the production department, and basically does not consider the type of hydraulic valve, hydraulic force on the valve spool, flow coefficient of the valve spool, pressure and flow characteristics, service scenarios of the hydraulic valve, and media. That is to use the same production standard to produce all different types of valve spools.
Boris from Russia is mainly responsible for purchasing high-end hydraulic valves, and some requirements are jokingly called curiosity by peers. Due to restriction of production process or lack of awareness of quality control, many hydraulic valve manufacturers dare not accept his orders. Just last month, our old customer, Erin, brought Boris to our company. I was surprised at the moment we met. Maybe he was really worried and went straight to the subject, there was an order for hydraulic flow valve that couldn't pass the inspection, and then took out 5 samples of hydraulic flow valve.
We conducted simulation tests according to the service scenarios, media and parameter requirements of the flow valve provided by him. The test results of the flow valve are not optimistic, the valve spool is stuck, slightly leak and unstable. Boris spread his hands, what's the solution? I joked and asked him why you came to us all of a sudden. He pointed to Erin. She told me that if multiple factories failed to make qualified samples continuously, you could only try AAK Hydraulic Valve. I told him directly that Erin was right and you were right to come here. The valve spools of these flow valves are not accurate enough. Give me 10 days and we will give you 5 high-precision flow valves.
10 days later, his Shanghai Office received 5 samples of our high-precision flow valves. 2 days later, Boris asked us how long it would take to produce 10,000 flow valves. It seems that the sample quality of AAK flow valve has convinced him.
Why can AAK Hydraulic Valve produce the flow valve that the peers can't or don't want to produce? AAK Hydraulic Valve not only has 6 processes, but also 6 parameter indexes as quality assurance:
1. Rough machining of valve spool, select appropriate bar material, cut the size, normalize and quench and temper. Parameter requirements: hardness above 32HRC.
2. Finish machining for the first time, flat end face, drill the center hole, the core is in the hole row, and the hole accuracy. Parameter requirements: the accuracy shall not be higher than 0.005mm, and the surface roughness Ra value shall not be higher than 0.16 μ m.
3. Step 3: the semi-finished work piece is subject to vacuum quenching unique to AAK and then stabilized. It is required to be cold treated at - 80 ℃ for 2h, aging temperature of 420 ℃ and heat preservation of more than 10h. Parameter requirements: hardness above 66HRC.
4. Finish machining again. First rough grind the outer circle and each end face of the shoulder. The core is the size matching between the outer circle and shoulder of the valve spool and the valve sleeve. Different clearance dimensions are implemented according to different hydraulic valves. Parameter requirements: no more than 0.005--0.035mm
5. Grind the outer circle carefully, after stabilizing the work piece, then grind the center hole of valve spool. Parameter: surface roughness Ra value is not higher than 0.1 μ m.
6. Finishing. For the high precision hydraulic valve, we adopt mirror grinding and finishing, double wheel honing, and our peers basically adopts fine grinding. Parameter requirements: surface roughness Ra value is not higher than 0.01 μ m.
After all valve spool processes are completed, our valve spool Ra value is 0.01 μ m. Ra value of valve spool of most peers is 0.08 μ m. Ra value of valve spool of a few peers is 0.02 μ m. The comparison of these values is the embodiment of our valve spool process strength.
AAK Hydraulic Valve spool has 6 processes and 6 parameters, which has taken 6 steps ahead of its peers. AAK Hydraulic Valve precision parameters, peers may be able to think of, but in most cases cannot achieve it, you are encouraged to have a small try with AAK Hydraulic Valve.
AAK cartridge valve has unique skills to avoid horn hole during cartridge
hole processing
The geometric tolerance of the cavity hole of the cartridge valve combination
hole produced by AAK is controlled within 0.02mm, which is only half of the
geometric tolerance of 0.03-0.05mm in the same industry. At the same time, the
transition angles between the small holes of the cartridge valve are replaced
by small rounded corners to completely avoid the phenomenon of "horn
hole".
The "horn hole" appears after the cartridge valve is used for a
period of time, which is a common problem of the cartridge valve. The root
cause is the processing bottleneck of cartridge valve combination hole. The
cartridge valve with horn hole will leak during production. What is more
troublesome is that the pollutants outside the cartridge valve are easy to
enter the valve spool with the hydraulic oil, resulting in the strike of the
whole hydraulic system.
Some time ago, Ryan, an American Hydraulic customer, placed an order for
a threaded cartridge valve to a hydraulic valve factory in Guangdong. He
received the cartridge valve samples for 3 times, but failed testing for 3
times, either leakage was found or pollutants outside the cartridge valve were
easy to enter the valve spool. Ryan checked with the hydraulic valve factory
for many times, but problems could not be solved. In desperation, he can only
find new hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Ryan found AAK Hydraulic Valve on Google platform. After a week's
understanding, maybe Ryan thinks that AAK can help him solve the problems faced
by the cartridge valve this time. On the same day, he sent us the cartridge
valve samples from the previous hydraulic valve factory, as well as the
technical drawings of his cartridge valve. After receiving and testing the
samples, we found that the coaxiality of the cavity hole diameter of the
combined holes of these threaded cartridge valves is between 0.03-0.05mm. At
the same time, there is a knife connection trace at the transition R angle,
resulting in the phenomenon of "horn hole".
We emailed Ryan the test results and told him that we could send
cartridge valve samples meeting his requirements within 15 days. On the 3rd day
after Ryan received the cartridge valve samples, he informed us by email that
the parameters of our cartridge valve samples were up to standard. He asked us
how to avoid these problems happened in the other suppliers in mass production.
For the cavity hole of the cartridge valve combination hole, AAK Hydraulic
Valve has been 1 step ahead of our peers. It is programmed by the automatic
programming software, which replaces the manual programming commonly used by our
peers. The geometric tolerance of the cartridge valve cavity hole has been
improved in the first step. The cartridge valve can be processed after the cavity
hole is automatically generated. When semi finishing the cavity hole, the first
small hole is directly processed and formed, and no subsequent processing is
required. The geometric tolerance of the cartridge valve cavity hole is
improved in step 2. The geometric tolerance of cartridge valve cavity hole and
each hole must be controlled within 0.02mm, which is our hard index. At the
same time, each transition angle between the small holes of the cartridge valve
is replaced by a small fillet to transition, not the common R angle in the same
industry, so as to completely avoid the phenomenon of "horn hole". AAK
Hydraulic Valve, by optimizing the processing parameters of cartridge hole and
upgrading the processing technology of cartridge valve cavity hole, the
phenomenon of "horn hole" in processing is eliminated and the
processing accuracy of cartridge hole is improved.
AAK cartridge valve, no leakage, no "horn hole", just precision
and guarantee. We wait for you to try the order.
AAK Hydraulic Valve has its own 3 high standards and enforces it strictly, so American customer resolutely transferred the order of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve to AAK factory for production. Such things often happen. We do better than brothers in the same industry. Not only to make the customers satisfied, but very satisfied, and strive to achieve great satisfaction. The 3 high standards of AAK Hydraulic threaded cartridge valve are as follows:
1) High Accuracy: the opening and closing characteristics can reach 95% opening rate and 90% closing rate;
2) High Stability: the pressure swing shall not exceed ± 0.1MPa;
3) High Durability: the design service life is more than 1 million times.
In the entire hydraulic valve market, due to the limitations of production equipment and technology, more than 90% of manufacturers have potential hidden quality problems on the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve they produced, such as assembly errors, the valve spool deviates from the central axis. After being used, the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve has problems like poor opening and closing performance, unstable pressure, short service life and so on. What is more difficult to solve is that these potential problems are not easy to be found during inspection. Only after being used for a period of time, customer complaints come one after another, these hidden quality problems of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves are realized.
In March 2021, we received an inquiry from an American hydraulic valve customer. Their hydraulic threaded cartridge valves were purchased from hydraulic valve factory in Guangdong previously. His terminal hydraulic valve customers have a higher precision requirement now. However, due to the limitations of production equipment and technology, the parameters of Guangdong suppliers are unstable, the opening and closing performance of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves produced is poor, and the pressure commissioning is unstable. After being used for nearly 400,000 times, there will be jamming, regulation failure and other conditions, resulting in more and more complaints from users of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves. Ayden has to look for new threaded cartridge valve suppliers here and there.
Ayden got into touch with us through Google and learned that AAK factory uses numerical control lathes imported from Switzerland, and strictly implements the 3 high process standards, so that the opening and closing characteristics of hydraulic thread cartridge valve can reach 95% opening rate and 90% closing rate, which is 12% higher than that of Guangdong hydraulic valve factory, and the pressure swing does not exceed ± 0.1MPa. The service life of hydraulic thread cartridge valve is at least over 1 million times, which is 2.5 times higher than the 400,000 times of Guangdong factory. Ayden was shocked. He didn't expect such a high-precision hydraulic valve factory in Ningbo.
With a try attitude, Ayden requested us to make samples. In 10 days, we sent samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves. After more than half a month of testing and comparison, everything was OK. Ayden did not hesitate to transfer the order to AAK Hydraulic Valve factory.
AAK Hydraulic Valve breaks the conventional process of hydraulic valve and produces hydraulic threaded cartridge valve with 3 high standards unmatched by peers. Don't believe it? You can also try one order.
The reverse sealing
performance of hydraulic check valve has always been the hard index controlled
by AAK. AAK has its own technology and process. It strictly controls 3 checks
in production to ensure no blind area for quality. The reverse sealing performance
of AAK hydraulic check valve catches up with and exceeds 90% of its peers. The
North Carolina hydraulic customer who just shipped in March recently placed a
new order for Hydraulic Check Valves with new item number.
AAK Hydraulic Valve has become his preferred manufacturer supplier for
purchasing hydraulic check valves.
In March this year,
Leo, a North Carolina hydraulic customer, delivered a batch of orders for
hydraulic check valves in the forklift system from AAK, and the market
responded very well. A few days ago, his customer had another batch of orders
for hydraulic check valves with new item number and designated AAK to produce
them.
Leo was surprised
that his customer appointed AAK Hydraulic Valve factory to
produce this order. Because the hydraulic check valves his customer purchased
before hit a nail, later he changed the hydraulic valve factories one after
another, wasting a lot of time and opportunities. The main problem with these
hydraulic check valve manufacturers is that there is a small gap between the conical
surface of the valve spool and the valve seat, and leakage occurs from time to
time. The customer was impressed by the good quality of AAK hydraulic check
valves shipped in March, so he asked Leo to assigned AAK as the preferred
hydraulic check valve manufacturer.
The reverse sealing
performance of hydraulic check valve is the most important index, and it has
always been the hard index controlled by AAK. AAK has its own technology and
process. Firstly, strictly detect whether the coaxiality of the valve spool and
valve seat meets the parameter requirements. Secondly, check whether the contact
surface between the valve spool and valve seat is damaged or has poor contact
during assembly. Finally, check four aspects according to the parameters: 1) The
sealing test must not bubble for more than 10s, replacing 5s of peers; 2) the
roundness of valve seat surface should be controlled below 0.6Ua, replacing 0.8Ua
of peers; 3) observe whether the seat surface is scratched with a microscope; 4)
simulate the working scene of the hydraulic check valve, and ensure there is no
external leakage within the working pressure range.
No matter which
aspect has problems, AAK must rearrange hinge, grinding and other processing.
The strict control of quality, sealing performance and leakage are the reasons
why customers choose AAK, which is also the lack of quality control awareness
of more than 90% of its peers.
2 weeks later, Leo
received our PPS of the hydraulic check valves. His customer was still full of
praise for our quality and asked us to start mass production. In private, Leo
also joked that with the support of AAK hydraulic valves, his customers sent
more and more inquiries for their hydraulic valves. What's more important is
that he doesn't have anything to do after ordering from AAK. He has more time
to go fishing. Yes, fishing is his biggest hobby.
With high quality of
reverse sealing performance, AAK hydraulic check valves are strictly controlled
for leakage. Come and try it!
The
Hydraulic Valve Leaked Oil, Adrian Was Particularly Anxious, AAK High-precision
Hydraulic Valve Solved The Goods Rejection Dilemma
Adrian, a hydraulic
customer from the United States, purchased a batch of hydraulic pressure control
valves from Guangdong last year. Recently, he received many complaints from
users. There was slight leakage of hydraulic oil between the pressure valve and
the valve block from time to time, resulting in unbalanced pressure of the
hydraulic pressure valve system. In serious cases, the pressure valve went on
strike directly. With more and more complaints, some users asked to return the
goods. Adrian knew that if it was not solved properly, it would affect the subsequent
sales of hydraulic pressure valves and even lose the market. A week later,
Adrian was particularly anxious because he had not determined a complete
solution.
Through Google
search, Adrian saw our website www.aakiudustry.com. There happened to be an article about the
valve block, which mentioned that for the 5 parameters of valve block
production, AAK
hydraulic valve block is manufactured
strictly in accordance with its own 5 processing procedures to ensure at least
7H screw hole machining accuracy requirements; the roughness of mounting hole
should be at least Ra0.8; the geometric tolerance is 0.02-0.05MM; the surface
roughness of 0-ring groove is at least Ra3.2, and the surface roughness of flow
channel is at least Ra12.5. More importantly, the fit clearance error
between the hydraulic pressure valve and the valve block produced by AAK can be
reduced to 2μm-3μm. This is a standard that many manufacturers can't reach at
present.
After reading this
article, Adrian immediately emailed us to ask if the hydraulic pressure valve
can be leak free. I asked him to send drawings and tell us the difficulties he
is facing. Maybe he knew at that time that AAK should be able to help him. After
he send us the shipment sample of the hydraulic pressure valve, then we can discuss
it later.
After receiving and
checking the hydraulic pressure valve samples, we found that most of the parameters
of the hydraulic pressure valve passed the test. The biggest problem was that
the fit clearance between the valve and the valve block was 8μm-10μm, this was
the main reason why the hydraulic oil leaked from time to time. According to his
drawings and the working scene of the hydraulic pressure valve, we told him
that we could achieve no leakage. If necessary, we could send samples of
hydraulic pressure valves within 10 days. Adrian was surprised why we were so
confident.
The 5 production processes
of AAK Hydraulic valve block: 1) pretreatment - 2) machining - 3) deburring -
4) cleaning - 5) assembly and inspection. We have 5 parameters as hard indexes
and 1 feature. The matching clearance error between hydraulic pressure valve
and valve block can be reduced to 2μm-3μm, 2-3 times smaller than our peers,
which is the root of our confidence.
On the 5th day after
sending the hydraulic pressure valve samples, the test was passed. Adrian hoped
to produce 150 hydraulic pressure valves as soon as possible to solve the goods
rejection dilemma. His customers reported that the AAK hydraulic pressure valves
are easy to assemble, sensitive to action, low in vibration, and would not leak
oil when increasing the working pressure. After we confirmed the delivery details
of 150 hydraulic pressure valves with Adrian, he said that he could finally
have a comfortable sleep.
AAK hydraulic
pressure valve has small vibration, sensitive action and no leakage. Won't you
try it?
The original cartridge valve manufacturer could not
improve the cone hole roundness and surface roughness of the hydraulic cartridge
relief valve. AAK used 3 skills to ensure that the cone hole roundness of the
hydraulic cartridge relief valve was within 0.003, the surface roughness was Ra0.6,
and it was linear sealed, without leakage, helping Salim out of the after-sales
trouble that has stumped him for in 3 months.
Salim is from Chile. A batch of hydraulic cylinders
of their company have been complained by customers that they are unstable.
After checking, it was found that the hydraulic cartridge relief valve was
leaking, which caused the abnormal operation of the oil cylinder. The root cause
was the roundness of the cone hole and the surface roughness. The engineer
requires to replace the hydraulic cartridge relief valve, and the cone hole
roundness is within 0.005, and the surface roughness is below Ra0.8, which can
completely solve the hidden danger. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic
cartridge relief valve said that the new requirements is 50% higher than before,
but he was willing to try. He made samples twice, but still failed to meet the
standard. 3 months passed without any result. The customer was unhappy and
Salim was worried.
Salim contacted me under the introduction of AAK's
old customer Robert. According to his introduction above, the parameter
requirements alone are not a big problem, but the internal structure of the
original hydraulic cartridge relief valve should be considered. Our engineer
reviewed his drawings and the anatomical drawing of the original hydraulic cartridge
relief valve manufacturer, and came up with the plan 2 days later. Salim asked AAK
to make samples. After 35 days, AAK sent 12 hydraulic cartridge relief valves. 3
weeks later, Salim emailed that after replacing the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve of the original manufacturer, the hydraulic cylinder worked normally.
At the beginning of last month, Salim sent a PO for
240 hydraulic cartridge relief valves. 8 months later, the customer no longer
complained about the hydraulic cylinder. His boss was very satisfied with the
accuracy of AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves. The taper hole roundness was
within 0.003, the surface roughness was Ra0.6, and it was linear sealed and
leak free. All their hydraulic cylinders in stock should be replaced with AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valves. AAK engineers improved the processing
technology with 3 skills for the internal structure of the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve:
1. The valve seat of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve shall be turned.
First, rough holes shall be drilled. The rotation speed of the drill is
1500~1800r/min, and the feed speed is 140~160mm/min. Then, the bottom hole of
the thread shall be machined at the bottom of the rough hole. In the middle
section of the rough hole, an enlarged hole shall be machined with a boring
cutter.
2. Finish the top of the rough hole with a milling
cutter to form a tapered hole, and then grind the enlarged hole with an
internal and external grinder.
3. Use self-made grinding tools to grind and
polish the top of the tapered hole in 2 ways: low speed, fast feed, low speed and slow
feed. The coaxiality between the column bar in the middle of the tool and the
top cone surface is strictly controlled within the range of 0.003~0.005.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valve, there is unique skill to process, you can
also try a small order!
The Flow Instability, Which Plagued German Customer
For More Than 1 Year, Has Been Solved After Using AAK Hydraulic Flow Valve
The throttle is one of the core components of the
hydraulic flow valve. AAK adopts the axial triangular groove throttle, which
has large hydraulic radius and wide adjustment range. Moreover, the flow of the
hydraulic flow valve is stabilized at 50ml/min without flow instability. The
flow instability of the hydraulic flow valve, which has plagued German customer
for more than 1 year, has been solved after using the AAK hydraulic flow valve.
With the increasing number of hydraulic valve
manufacturers, the price of hydraulic valve is becoming more and more
transparent. The price competition of different manufacturers directly leads to
the decline of the quality of hydraulic valve components. Although they have
coped with the market for a time, they are absolutely unable to cope with the
customers who pay high attention to the quality of hydraulic valve.
Last month, a German customer came to inquire about
the hydraulic flow valve by e-mail. Because this hydraulic flow valve is too
common, we sent a quotation directly. The customer said that the price of this
hydraulic flow valve is a little higher than that ordered in the past. At that
time, I asked him why he found a new hydraulic flow valve manufacturer, and the
customer was also straightforward. He wanted to terminate the order of the
current hydraulic valve manufacturer. After more than a year of cooperation,
the flow of several batches of hydraulic flow valves was unstable, basically in
the range of 50-75ml/min, so his customers complained very often.
He said that he had been looking for new hydraulic
flow valve manufacturers, and AAK
hydraulic valve was
recommended by one of his customers. His customer has purchased hydraulic flow
valve from AAK for more than 3 years, and the flow stability is good.
Flow stability is an important quality index of
hydraulic flow valve. After more than 2 years of exploration, AAK hydraulic
flow valve has adopted new processes and parameters in the production of axial
triangular groove throttle, which can stabilize the flow at 50ml/min. Now it is
a relatively mature process, and basically there will be no flow fluctuation.
The German customer asked us to send several hydraulic
flow valve samples immediately. Last week, we received feedback of the
hydraulic flow valve samples. His customers like such quality and parameters.
More importantly, the flow of these hydraulic flow valves is stable at
50ml/min.
The unstable flow of hydraulic valves is a common
problem in many factories. If you also encounter this problem, try a small
order with AAK hydraulic valve.
AAK Hydraulic Pressure Valve Has a Service Life of More Than 1 Million
Times, Becoming the Preferred Manufacturer of a British customer for Parker
Series Hydraulic Valves
AAK has supplied Parker series hydraulic
pressure valves with not only 95% opening rate, but also 90% closing rate, and
the pressure swing is controlled at ±0.1MPa. What is more unexpected to
customer is that the service life is 2.5 times longer than that of the other
manufacturers, up to more than 1 million times. Therefore, without suspense,
AAK has become the preferred manufacturer of a British customer for Parker series
hydraulic valves.
In the hydraulic valve industry, more and more
manufacturers focus on homogeneous hydraulic valves and only carry on price war
when developing market, resulting in the decline of the quality of hydraulic
valve components, the decline of process level and the simplification of
production process. Many hydraulic valve manufacturers think they know how to
make durable hydraulic valves, but always encounter problems when they make
samples and run in production.
At the beginning, when Shawn, a British
customer, was looking for Parker series hydraulic pressure valves in China, he totally
tested hydraulic pressure valves from more than 10 manufacturers, but none of
them is a satisfying hydraulic valve manufacturer. Some hydraulic pressure
valves are stable, but the accuracy is not up to standard; some accuracy is OK,
but the stability is not up to standard. For example, the opening and closing
performance of hydraulic pressure valve is poor, the valve spool is not smooth,
and the service life is short. Seeing that the delivery deadline of Parker
series hydraulic pressure valve is coming, Shawn is very worried.
Shawn found our website on Google,
www.aakindustry.com, and contacted our company. After communication, he learned
that we had produced Parker series hydraulic pressure valves before. He was
very happy and satisfied with the opening and closing performance, the pressure
swing and the usage times of our hydraulic pressure valves. AAK hydraulic valve is favored by
customers at home and abroad with the 3 standards of "high precision, high
stability and high durability".
Shawn said that the hydraulic valve factories
he met in the past, the opening and closing performance of the hydraulic
pressure valve can only reach 83% opening rate and 78% closing rate, and the
pressure swing exceeds ±0.1MPa, and the service life is only around 400
thousand times. However, the Parker series hydraulic pressure valves produced
by AAK can achieve an opening rate of up to 95% and a closing rate of 90%. At
the same time, the pressure swing is controlled at ±0.1MPa, and its service
life is 2.5 times longer than that of its peers, up to more than 1 million
times. How could Shawn be unhappy?
After receiving the samples of Parker series
hydraulic pressure valves from AAK, Shawn tested and found that they all met
his requirements, so he placed an order and let us prepare materials and begin production.
After receiving the goods, his customers also said that the Parker series
hydraulic pressure valves produced by AAK have stable quality, up to standard
accuracy and durability. Shawn said that his company decided to transfer all
orders for hydraulic pressure valves to AAK in the future.
AAK factory is the first choice for hydraulic
pressure valves with a service life of more than 1 million times. Feel at ease
to use them.
The Damping Holes of
Hydraulic Pressure Valves from Several Manufacturers Are Blocked, But AAK
Reassures the American Customer Brody
Brody is the purchasing director of a hydraulic valve
dealer in the United States. He purchased a batch of Pilot operated Hydraulic pressure
valves this May in China. However, customers began to complain because during
the use of the hydraulic pressure valve, the damping hole was often blocked,
resulting in loss of pressure at the pilot stage, failure of the hydraulic
pressure valve and failure of the hydraulic system. Some customers asked for
return. Brody communicated with the factory supplied the hydraulic pressure
valves for many times but couldn't find a good solution.
Brody's tried to source for new hydraulic valve
factories but it did not go smooth as well. He spent 7 days talking about with more
than 30 hydraulic valve factories and got almost the same answer: the problem
of damping hole blocking cannot be solved 100%, and the only way is to let the
customer choose high-purity hydraulic oil. Brody knew that replying to guests
in this way would not only get a claim, but also losing the whole market. He
would also lose his job.
Brody got into contact with AAK hydraulic
valve through the
introduction of other factories. After two rounds of e-mail communication, we
learned that he was in a mess because of the damping hole of the pilot
hydraulic pressure valve. Unexpectedly, AAK has mass produced pilot hydraulic pressure
valves as early as 1 year ago, which was not difficult for us. Brody was
surprised and maybe didn't believe it. We told him that you can go to our
website www.aakindustry.com and also continue to source for other hydraulic
valve factories. If you believe us, send us your hydraulic pressure valve
artwork and try our sample.
Hydraulic pressure valve is sought after by the market for its
stable pressure control, small pressure rise and smooth overflow curve. The
pilot requires a small flow of pressure oil to act on the pilot stage. The
pressure oil is often guided into the pilot stage through the damping slender
hole. Through the opening and closing of the pilot stage, changing the upper
and lower pressure difference of the main stage spool to achieve the opening
and closing of the main spool, so as to achieve the pressure control of large
flow hydraulic oil.
However, under the actual working conditions, due to
the high requirements for oil cleanliness of the damping slender hole, if not
handled properly, the damping hole is easy to be blocked, resulting in the
shutdown of the equipment and the failure of the whole hydraulic system. We
realized this problem of pilot hydraulic pressure valve 2 years ago. AAK
optimized the process of pilot hydraulic pressure valve. After about 1 year of
exploration and demonstration, it is invented to add welded high-strength
filter screen at the inlet section of pilot slender hole and local turbulent
self-cleaning function, so as to reduce the impact of oil pollution on the
normal operation of the valve. The opening and overflow characteristics are
excellent, and the pressure curve is less affected by the change of overflow
flow, which plays a very good protective role for the system. 1 year ago, a
famous domestic construction machinery manufacturer purchased from AAK
hydraulic valve and took the goods almost every month.
Brody
may have no choice. The next day, we received his hydraulic pressure valve
artwork, specifying the proofing time and cost. 9 days later, we sent three
samples of hydraulic pressure valves. Brody's email came 15 days after that,
letting us hurry up to prepare the materials and help replenish the goods
first. His customers were very satisfied, his boss was very happy, and he could
take a vacation.
Damping
hole blockage is an unavoidable problem. Don't be afraid. AAK has clever ways
to improve it. Welcome to consult us!
The Valve Spool With Hardness of 65HRC Can Not Be Made in 30 Factories,
But AAK Hydraulic Valve Has Already achieved it.
Felix is the purchaser of a hydraulic valve company
in Germany. Some time ago, he wanted to purchase a batch of hydraulic flow
valves with valve spool hardness of 65HRC. He had consulted more than 30
manufacturers in a month (with great perseverance). Only two hydraulic valve
manufacturers said that 58HRC is the limit, and the rest had no sound at all.
Felix couldn't resist the pressure of customers urging goods every day and was
ready to give up the order. His boss was unhappy after hearing it, so his
pressure was even greater.
Felix accidentally saw an article about 65HRC
valve spool of AAK hydraulic valve when browsing some B2B websites.
Realizing that maybe AAK hydraulic valve could bring him good luck, Felix
directly asked by email whether we could produce hydraulic flow valve with
valve spool hardness above 65HCR. We replied that we need to know the working
scene of your hydraulic flow valve and the drawings before we judged.
It is not the first time for AAK hydraulic valve to receive consultation
on the hardness of valve spool. Some hydraulic valve manufacturers can not
solve the problem of hardness because of the following reasons. First, without
professional and systematic knowledge about material, how can they choose the
most suitable alloy steel material? Most importantly, the heat treatment of
materials is led by the processing factory, because the heat treatment is processed
outside, and 20% of the factory changed the outsourcing processing place with
one shot, thus, the hardness can not be guaranteed, let alone the stability.
Regarding the material for the valve spool, AAK
hydraulic valve selects the most suitable steel according to the working scene
of the hydraulic valve, the medium used, and the customer's hydraulic
parameters, then combined them with the wear resistance, linear expansion
coefficient and deformation of different steel. The High grade tool steel like Cr12MoV,
12CrNi3A, 18CrNiWA and GCr15 are our common materials, and the last and most
important link in the hardness of the hydraulic flow valve spool is the heat
treatment process of the steel. If the hardness needs to be above 65HRC, the
carbon content of steel should be considered first, and then find a way in heat
treatment. Steels with different contents have different heat treatment methods
in quenching, carburizing and nitriding. Pretreatment, quenching, cold
treatment, tempering, aging, fine processing and secondary aging, the aging
temperature and holding time of these processes are the key. We can achieve the
aging temperature of 420℃ and heat preservation of more
than 10H, obtaining a hardness of 65HRC or above, which our peers can't think
of or do.
We received the drawings of Felix's hydraulic flow
valve. In the email, the product performance, operating conditions, product
parameter, details are all mentioned and marked, especially the emphasis on the
valve spool hardness of 65HRC. We had to admire the German's preciseness. According
to these indicators of the hydraulic flow valve, the technical team of AAK
hydraulic valve carefully simulated and replied to him by email that we could
send the samples of the hydraulic flow valve within 12 days. Felix was happy
but also worried, he once again emphasized various indicators of hydraulic flow
valve, especially the hardness of valve spool 65HCR. We could understand his
mood. After all, many hydraulic valve manufacturers couldn't meet this
standard.
Two weeks after we sent the samples of hydraulic
flow valves, Felix directly placed a small order of 200 hydraulic flow valves.
He told us privately that his customers were very satisfied with the samples of
these hydraulic flow valves, but they were a little worried about the stability
of the mass production. We could understand his customer's trial order. After
all, many hydraulic valve manufacturers couldn't meet this standard. We believe
that large orders for hydraulic flow valves will be placed with AAK within 2
months after shipment.
If you also need 65HRC valve spool hardness index,

6 Proofing Can Not Solve the Horn Hole, but AAK Hydraulic Flow Valve Has already been Solved Successfully
Maarten, a Dutch hydraulic valve customer, had an order for a batch of hydraulic flow valves some time ago and gave it to a hydraulic valve manufacturer in Ningbo. After 6 proofing, the hydraulic flow valve samples failed test for all 6 times, for either leakage or pollutants outside the cartridge valve are easy to enter the valve spool. After many communications with the maker, the problems still could not be effectively solved. His customer complained to his boss. The boss asked Maarten to give an effective solution within a week. Battered, he had no clue and could only aimlessly look for a new hydraulic valve manufacturer.
While constantly checking with other hydraulic valve manufacturers, Maarten also continued to find some similar cases on the Internet. Occasionally, he saw an article about "horn hole" from AAK hydraulic valve on Google. After careful reading, he found that it was very similar to the problems he encountered, so he contacted us online with a try attitude and continued to ask about some of the problems he encountered at present.
Hydraulic flow valve, a kind of cartridge valve, will have the phenomenon of "horn hole" after being used for a period of time, which is a common problem of cartridge valve. The root cause is the processing bottleneck of the cartridge valve combination hole. The processing coaxiality of the cavity hole diameter of these threaded cartridge valve combination holes is 0.03-0.05mm. At the same time, there are machined trace at the transition R angle, resulting in leakage during use. What's more troublesome is that it is easy to cause pollutants outside the cartridge valve to enter the valve spool with the hydraulic oil, causing the whole hydraulic system to strike. Many hydraulic valve manufacturers are used to the domestic market. These "horn holes" have little impact on some mechanical equipment. Therefore, many hydraulic valve manufacturers have not tackled this technical barrier.
AAK has been one step ahead of its peers in the process of cavity hole processing of cartridge valve combination hole. It is programmed by automatic programming software, which replaces the manual programming commonly used by peers. The geometric tolerance of cartridge valve cavity hole has been further improved. The cartridge valve can be processed after automatically generating cavity hole. When semi finishing the cavity hole, the first counter bore is directly machined and no further machining is required, so the geometric tolerance of the cartridge valve cavity hole is improved again. The geometric tolerance of each hole of cartridge valve cavity must be controlled within 0.02mm, which is a hard index. At the same time, each transition angle between the small holes of the cartridge valve is replaced by a small fillet to transition from the common R angle of peers, so as to completely avoid the phenomenon of "horn hole". By optimizing the processing parameters of cartridge hole and upgrading the processing technology of cartridge valve cavity hole, AAK hydraulic valve eliminates the phenomenon of "horn hole" in processing and improves the processing accuracy of cartridge hole.
7 days later, we received the hydraulic flow valve samples from other manufacturers sent by Maarten. After further testing, we found that the leakage problem was really caused by the "horn hole" phenomenon. After sending back the test results to Maarten, we received the product drawings and usage scenario descriptions sent by Maarten the next day. He asked us to make three hydraulic flow valve samples for his customers to test.
Maarten asked us to prepare materials 15 days after the hydraulic flow valve samples were sent. His customers were very satisfied with our samples and wanted to try an order for 500 hydraulic flow valves. Maarten privately informed that the boss was also very happy that he could quickly and effectively solve the problem of the order of hydraulic flow valve. He was more and more confident in the purchase of hydraulic valve.
AAK hydraulic valve, no leakage, no horn hole, waiting for you to try an order.
Factory Can Not Even
Achieve The Valve Spool Ra Value at 0.16μm, but AAK Has Already
Mass Produced Hydraulic Valves 5 Times Finer Than It
Charles is our old
hydraulic valve customer. Some time ago, he purchased a batch of hydraulic flow
valves from a hydraulic valve manufacturer in Guangdong. However, he didn't
expect to be busy on changing suppliers before the order was shipped. The hydraulic
flow valves can not pass inspection. The surface roughness Ra value of
hydraulic valve spool work piece should be below 0.16μm, but there was 0.2μm、0.25μm、0.28μm in mass production.
The problem had not been properly solved through repeated communication. Seeing
that the delivery date was coming, Charles was worried and could only plan to
cancel the order with his customer.
It is easy to lose the
customer if there is no solution but directly express the problem like this.
His boss asked him to get the solution and let the customer decide whether to
cancel the order. I noticed that he was asking for help on LinkedIn. After communicating
with him, I learned the whole story.
This hydraulic valve
factory in Guangdong is Charles’ old supplier. It has
been supplying his company with some conventional hydraulic valves. He had
asked the factory whether the surface roughness Ra value of the valve spool
could reach below 0.16μm, and the factory said that there was no
problem. The proofing was also smooth, then Charles decided to place order with
this hydraulic valve factory. Later, it was learned that this hydraulic valve
factory could not produce hydraulic valve with Ra value below 0.16μm due to the limitation
of its own process equipment and technology. The factory was worried that the
customer might walk away, so he accepted the order regardless of his ability. The
proofing of this factory’s hydraulic valve was
outsourced. It was originally agreed that the mass production was also
completed by the proofing factory, but the proofing factory rejected the
production of the goods finally. Then the hydraulic valve factory arranged mass
production in its own factory without authorization, thinking it could muddle
through.
I asked him to send us
the drawings of this hydraulic flow valve and told him that AAK had mass
produced the valve spool with the Ra value reached 0.02 ~ 0.04μm. He immediately asked the production time of 1000 hydraulic flow valves
by e-mail, and asked the old supplier to send us several production samples to
see the quality.
After getting the
support of AAK, Charles truthfully told his customer that the current goods can
not pass inspection, he needs to change factory and needs another two months to
for re-production. Unexpectedly, the customer expressed understanding. Out of
the trust of cooperation, the customer not only did not cancel the order, but
also accepted the new delivery date.
We have produced the
hydraulic valves with Ra value of valve spool at 0.02 ~ 0.04μm, which can't be done by our peers. Let's take a look at how AAK hydraulic valve makes the valve
spool.
AAK proprietary valve
spool processing technology: the valve spool generally uses bar material as
blank and is processed after normalizing. The process includes: cutting the end
face, drilling the center hole, rough turning and fine turning the outer
circle, end face and inner hole of countersunk groove, drilling, milling, heat
treatment, grinding the center hole, grinding the outer circle, and finishing
the outer circle. At the same time, in grinding, high finish grinding is
generally used to make the surface roughness Ra value of the workpiece below
0.16μm, some RA values can even reach 0.02 ~ 0.04μm, the roughness value can be nearly 10 times higher than that of peers.
After we started
producing this hydraulic
flow valve, and sent a video to show Charles our production situation and
progress, he was finally able to relax and said he would start his vacation.
AAK value spool precision, let you rest assured.
AAK Uses 5 More Processes to Ensure That The Valve Block Is Free of Iron
Filings, Which Satisfies The American Customer After Testing The Sample
After the AAK Hydraulic valve
block is processed, it shall be consolidated in 5 processes to ensure that
it is free of iron filings and completely avoid the pollution of the hydraulic
system. Less than 10% of manufacturers are willing to make efforts to improve
this detail. American customer is very satisfied after receiving AAK hydraulic valve
block samples.
In the intersecting processing channels of the
hydraulic valve block, iron filings are easy to remain, especially in the
slender hole, which is difficult to clean. These fine iron filings are easy to
enter the system and cause pollution, resulting in paralysis of the hydraulic
system. The eradication of iron filings is a cumbersome process. In order to
save costs, many hydraulic valve manufacturers will save processes as long as
the hydraulic valve has no problems in the short term. It is a common problem
of this industry, less than 10% of manufacturers are willing to make efforts to
improve this detail, causing many customers to be cheated.
George, an American Hydraulic customer, purchased a
batch of hydraulic valve blocks some time ago. The parameters of system were
normal in the early test, but unexpectedly, after 15 days, the hydraulic oil in
the system suddenly deteriorated. He didn't know that the hydraulic valve was
wrong until the whole test system stopped. After careful analysis of the
causes, it was found that there were iron filings inside the oil, and the
internal valve spool of the cartridge valve connected with the valve block also
showed signs of wear. Hydraulic valve factory deliberately evaded the problem and
had no good solution. George was helpless and had to find a new hydraulic valve
factory while waiting for the current factory to solve the problem.
We are not sure how he found our AAK hydraulic valve. After receiving
his email, we replied how we eradicated the residual iron filings in valve
block. 6 years ago, we also failed the inspection due to the residual iron
filings in the valve block. It took us half a year to explore a set of methods
that could completely eradicate the residual iron filings in the valve block:
1.
Cook with
high-temperature alkaline water to make the iron filings in the valve block
lose their magnetism.
2.
Hold the rotary file
with an electric or pneumatic small grinding wheel, and clean the flash and
burr at the corner of the hole channel with a round file for deep holes to
achieve smooth connection.
3.
Use compressed air
and high-pressure washing machine to wash the dirt on the inner and outer
surfaces of the duct under high pressure.
4.
Use industrial
endoscope and cold light source to check the flash and burr at the corner in
the duct. If any, flush it point-to-point under high pressure until the iron
filings in the valve block are completely eradicated.
5.
Clean the residual
water and oil in the duct with white silk cloth to ensure that the valve block
is clean and free of any residue.
George was very cautious and needed us to provide
videos. We replied to him directly that you might not believe it now, but in
order to save time of both parties, let's test the samples directly. We
directly proofed according to his drawings. 25 days after the valve block of
the hydraulic valve was sent, he sent an email to us. After 20 days of testing,
his company was very satisfied with AAK's valve block. The hydraulic system,
oil quality and hydraulic accessories were normal, which completely avoided the
problem of system pollution.
AAK hydraulic valve block, no residual iron filings,
you can give it a try.
The Inner Hole Accuracy of AAK Hydraulic Valve
Is Controlled At 1μm, Making The Business of American Customer Soar 3 Times
Tristan, an American customer who just shipped
a batch of hydraulic pressure valves worth 70,000 US dollars 3 months ago,
placed a repeat order for hydraulic pressure valve worth more than 200,000 US
dollars today. Since Tristan chose AAK
hydraulic valve, his customers are very satisfied with the accuracy and
stability of the hydraulic valve. The orders he took from customers has soared
more than 3 times. Now his position in the company is getting higher and
higher.
We still remember that Tristan contacted us
through Google and sent an email asking about the accuracy of the hydraulic valve.
After several communications, we learned that because of the change of his end
users, he needed to use pressure valves with higher precision. He looked for
dozens of hydraulic valve factories, but none of them dared to promise that the
inner hole accuracy error of hydraulic valve could be controlled at 1μm. As a
result, Tristan got fewer and fewer orders for hydraulic valves.
The inner hole accuracy error of hydraulic
valve shall be controlled at about 1μm is not just difficult to do, but very
difficult to do. This requires not only the support of equipment, the
preciseness of skilled workers and the management of quality control, but also
the quality awareness and craftsmanship spirit of the whole factory. Only a few
domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers have such technical and equipment
support. AAK hydraulic valve has a professional research and development team
and advanced imported equipment, so that the hydraulic valve with inner hole
accuracy error controlled at about 1μm can be mass produced.
Tristan felt the dawn after knowing the
ability of AAK Hydraulic Valve, and asked whether we could make samples for his
to test. Later, he received the hydraulic pressure valve samples we sent as
scheduled. Just after receiving the sample, he sent a message saying that the
surface gloss of AAK hydraulic valve was really very good. After testing and
analysis, the inner hole accuracy of AAK hydraulic pressure valve fully met the
new needs of end users, which was just the pressure control valve they were
looking for. On the 5th day after Tristan received the samples, we also
received his first order for hydraulic pressure valves of 70,000 US dollars.
AAK hydraulic valve has 2 absolute advantages:
1. AAK hydraulic valve imported advanced equipment - honing machine, to
ensure that the inner hole accuracy error is controlled at about 1μm.
2. The independent professional research and development team, cooperates
with the unique research and development technology, to realize the
personalized customization demand for the inner hole accuracy of hydraulic
valve, which can not be achieved by 95% of domestic peers.
Today, Tristan repeated an order of more than
200,000 US dollars for the hydraulic pressure valve. At the same time, Tristan
informed that since the use of AAK hydraulic
pressure valve, many end users are very fond of their hydraulic products,
and the inquiry is more and more than in previous years. Now, their order
volume in a quarter has more than tripled over the same period, Tristan is
working harder and harder, and now his position in the company is higher and
higher.
Choosing high-precision AAK hydraulic valve, it
is difficult for the business not to soar!
AAK Hydraulic Valve Block Has Unique Anti-rust Technology, Russian Customer
Tried A Small Order
AAK
hydraulic valve has a proprietary valve block anti-rust treatment
technology. A special coating with a thickness of 0.02 ~ 0.03 mm is plated on
the surface of the hydraulic valve
block. The coating has excellent adsorption, is not easy to fall off and
has a bright appearance. On this point alone, it has crushed most of its peers.
After several email communications, Russian customer resolutely placed an order
with AAK.
Due to the limitation of process, most
hydraulic valve factories adopt surface painting or conventional electroplating
for the anti-rust treatment of the hydraulic valve block surface. Such
anti-rust treatment on the surface of the valve block will cause problems in
the routine maintenance or repair of the hydraulic valve in the future. It is
mainly reflected in that the valve block is easy to be scratched, causing
corrosion and increasing system pollution. Besides, falling paint and other
sundries are also easy to enter the valve block channel and bring pollutants
directly to the system, resulting in secondary pollution of the system and
accidents. The trouble is that it is generally difficult to find the problem of
rust prevention on the surface of these valve blocks in the short term.
Anatoly, a Russian hydraulic customer,
purchased a batch of hydraulic valve blocks in March from a factory. There were
no problems in the preliminary test and final inspection. However, he continued
to receive feedback from consumers in the last month. After setting up and
debugging, the surface of the valve block fell off paint, rusted, and even there
is pollution inside the system. According to the statistics of the information
received, among the 200 products purchased, there are nearly 100 products in
this situation now, and only 100 are still on sale. Anatoly found something
wrong and immediately asked to suspend the sales of the remaining products. At
the same time, he communicated with suppliers for many times for these inferior
products, but the supplier's attitude was very bad and had always been unable
to give accurate solutions.
Anatoly used to interact with us on the B2B
platform. We didn't know the problems of his valve block until we received his
email last month. For these problems, we talked about the current hydraulic
market in the reply to his email. In order to save costs, many peers use very conventional
anti-rust treatment on the valve blocks. There are mainly two processes:
1. Directly
paint the valve block surface after assembling the components. During component
disassembly, replacement and maintenance, it is very easy to damage the paint
around the component. At the same time, the fallen paint and other sundries are
also easy to enter the valve block duct and cause system pollution
2. After
all the valve blocks are processed, a layer of oxide film plating is carried
out. The surface oxide film is relatively thin, which is easy to be scratched,
causing corrosion and increasing system pollution.
Anatoly asked if we have a way to eradicate
it completely. We also encountered these similar valve block problems in the
early stage. Our technical team did not follow the trend and insisted on new
process exploration, so that AAK has its own unique anti-rust technology now.
With the increasing requirements for product aesthetics and pollution control,
AAK hydraulic valve adopts the proprietary valve block anti-rust treatment
technology, electroplating a special coating with a thickness of 0.02 ~ 0.03 mm
on the surface of the valve block. At the same time, the coating has excellent
adsorption, not easy to fall off and has bright appearance. Only at this point,
it has crushed most peers.
Perhaps Anatoly has already had a sense of
trust in us. He sent their valve block drawings and also the valve blocks
produced by last hydraulic valve factory, asking us to produce 500 trial orders
directly according to these requirements, to make up for the stock shortage
caused by the defective products.
AAK hydraulic valve block is free of rust and
pollution. You can also try a small order!
Chase is the purchaser
of a hydraulic valve company in the United States. The purchase of hydraulic
valves has been very smooth for 2 years, but a recent order for hydraulic valve
blocks made him very difficult. In the sample approval stage of the hydraulic
valve block, the samples had been revised for 4 times, but during the test, it
was still found that there were different degrees of burrs at the cross holes
of the valve block. Although the last sample had been greatly improved, there
were still subtle burrs, which was easy to cause system faults such as
unbalanced pressure regulation. His customer did not accept the pre-production
sample of hydraulic valve block, and the hydraulic valve manufacturer was still
exploring the solution of burr. The customer was pushing, the boss was asking,
and the manufacturer had no effective plan. What should he do? He had trouble in
sleeping and eating because the delivery date would not wait for him.
The burr of hydraulic
valve block is produced during drilling. The shape and size of the burr are
related to the spindle speed, drilling feed, work piece material, cutting tool,
coolant, bit geometric angle and other factors. It really needs unique skills
to clean it thoroughly.
Chase found AAK hydraulic valve through Google search.
He emailed us some common questions about the hydraulic valve block. I felt
that he had encountered a problem, but he was not sure whether I could solve it
and also afraid of wasting time. I directly asked him to tell me the problem of
the hydraulic valve block. If it could be solved, I would make the sample
directly for him to test. Perhaps he was also surprised that I was so direct,
and immediately sent me the drawing of the hydraulic valve block with a special
mark in red, saying that it must be 100% burr free. I see, it was the burr
problem of the hydraulic valve block.
How
to remove burrs? Different manufacturers have different treatment
processes. The hydraulic valve factory cooperated with Chase uses manual method
to remove burrs. The work piece is polished and deburred with tools such as
file, sandpaper and grinding head. This method has blind spots, general effect
and low efficiency, especially for the burrs in complex cross holes.
After Chase received
our hydraulic valve block sample, he did simulation test. The previous problems
such as unbalanced system pressure regulation were solved. The system pressure
regulation became more sensitive and the problem was smoothly solved. Chase
asked us to help deliver the goods as soon as possible.
How to remove burrs
for 100%? AAK adopts the high-pressure solution injection method, weakens the
magnetism of the burr with the solution, and then uses the instantaneous impact
force of the liquid to not only ensure that the burr of the hydraulic valve
block is 100% eradicated, but also effectively clean each part of the hydraulic
valve block. Most of our peers do not have such a process.
The customer was very
happy that Chase was able to solve the problem quickly this time, and the boss
appreciated his ability to deal with the problem. When chatting on LinkedIn a
few days ago, Chase told me that because of AAK hydraulic valve block, the sales
volume of his customers in the same period had increased nearly twice. Now the
boss attaches great importance to him.
Use AAK hydraulic valve
block, you will never worry about being "stabbed" by burrs. You
can also try a small order.
Maxim, from a
hydraulic valve company in Russia, is a very interesting customer. This
morning, there was an e-mail from him (in the spam folder). That was the first
time he sent an e-mail to us. We took a look and found that he left us a
message for the first time 327 days ago.
It was
learned from the email that he had previously purchased a batch of hydraulic flow
valves in other hydraulic valve
manufacturer. After receiving the shipments of the hydraulic flow valves,
he found that the parameters of hydraulic flow valve were inconsistent with
those in the artwork. When he asked the hydraulic valve manufacturer about this
problem, the manufacturer replied that the function of the hydraulic flow valve
would not be affected. He believed it. After a period of time, some customers
complained, which made him criticized by the boss several times. For example,
the valve was stuck, there was oil leakage, the valve spool could not be
opened, and there were more than 120 hydraulic flow valves needed to be
replaced. Maxim was also confused. He had cooperated with this hydraulic valve manufacturer
for several times. How could there be these problems.
Maxim's first
message on the B2B platform to us was "interesting", 327 days ago.
Later, on our company website, B2B platform, social media etc., as long as
there were articles or information about AAK hydraulic valve, he would
basically gave “comments” or “likes“, and occasionally asked a question about hydraulic valve, but the
interaction frequency was not high. We had an impression of him and always
thought that he was the hydraulic valve peer, not the customer.
We replied by
email that the inconsistency in the accuracy or parameters of the hydraulic
valve was due to the interaction of multiple factors such as raw material grade
and process technology. According to your customers' complaints, problems
should be from the following 3 points:
1. The machining
accuracy of the parts is low, the assembly quality is poor, and the oil is too
dirty, resulting in the jamming of the valve spool.
2. The valve
spool is not in close contact with the valve seat, and the different shafts of
the valve body hole and the valve spool are too large, resulting in leakage.
3. The coaxiality between the valve spool hole and the control piston hole
exceeds the standard, and the top of the control piston is bent, so that the
valve spool cannot be opened.
At present, what he urgently needed to solve was the problem of goods replacement
for customer and to ensure the quality of hydraulic valves. I replied that AAK hydraulic
valve not only pursue the accuracy of hydraulic valve, but also pay more
attention to the stability
of hydraulic valve. We could achieve what you want most with minimal
cooperation.
12 minutes after the e-mail was sent, the test order for 120 hydraulic
flow valves came. I asked, don't you need us to send you samples for testing
first? Maxim said he had paid attention to AAK hydraulic valve for a long time
and believed in the quality of AAK hydraulic valve. If this order was shipped
smoothly and has no problems later, he would consider AAK as the preferred Hydraulic
Valve supplier.
This order goes well... If you are in trouble, don't hesitate to contact
me as soon as possible!
AAK hydraulic valve, adopts URMA reaming
technology of Swiss quality to process the valve spool hole in the hydraulic valve
block. With the precision, reliable and efficient URMA reaming technology,
the high precision of the valve spool hole of the hydraulic valve block is ensured,
and the stable surface quality and tolerance range are maintained in the whole
hole diameter. Brody, an American customer, had asked about no less than 20
hydraulic valve manufacturers, but no hydraulic valve block manufacturer had
the ability to undertake his order for hydraulic valve blocks with special
valve spool holes. After 3 days of communication with AAK hydraulic valve, he
directly placed a trial order for 200 hydraulic valve blocks.
The valve spool hole is the key
point in the hydraulic valve block. Many hydraulic valve block manufacturers do
not have their own high precision equipment, so they can only process outside.
Generally, the outside processing centers only process according to the process
parameters, and rarely consider the properties, use scenarios, and service life
of machining components. It is difficult to continuously and stably grasp the
diameter dimensional tolerance of valve spool hole, coaxiality, cylindricity
and roughness. Once such a hydraulic valve block is used, it will directly
affect the quality and operation stability of the whole hydraulic system.
Brody, who needed to purchase a batch of
special hydraulic valve blocks, asked no less than 20 hydraulic manufacturers,
but no manufacturer was able to undertake this order. Brody browsed our
website, www.aakindustry.com, emailed us, listed us the process parameters of
the valve spool hole in the hydraulic valve block, and the internal anatomy
diagram, and asked if we could do it? This hydraulic valve block had high
precision requirements due to the existence of most segmented structures in the
valve spool hole, small diameter dimensional tolerance of the valve spool hole,
and many precision requirements such as coaxiality. This processing was very
difficult. I was also curious why Brody didn't ask us like other customers what
tools we used. Brody said he didn't need a tool for machining holes, but holes.
When Brody learned that we AAK hydraulic valve could meet the
process requirements of his hydraulic valve block and was willing to make a
sample for him to test, he seemed to feel that perhaps only AAK hydraulic valve
could help him solve the problem of this hydraulic valve block. When he
received our hydraulic valve block samples, he informed us by email on the 3rd
day that the test results of hydraulic valve block met the requirements. He was
also curious about how we AAK hydraulic valve achieved it.
AAK hydraulic valve, adopts URMA reaming technology of Swiss quality
to process the valve spool hole in the hydraulic valve block. With the
precision, reliable and efficient URMA reaming technology, the
high precision of the valve spool hole of the hydraulic valve block is ensured,
and the stable surface quality and tolerance range are maintained in the whole
hole diameter. The 4 process points of URMA reaming technology ensure that the
hydraulic valve block meets Brody's special requirements.
1.
Guide bar
support: the guide bar support structure ensures that the tool is in the most
correct position at all times during cutting.
2.
Cooling
requirements: the concentration of coolant shall be 12% ~ 15%, the guide bar
cutter must be fully lubricated, and the cooling pressure shall be sufficient
to ensure smooth chip removal.
3.
Runout
requirements: the flange interface is adopted, and the runout can be adjusted
in both radial and axial directions to ensure that the tool is always in the
best state during cutting, and the error control can remain unchanged.
4.
Blade
replacement: when the blade is worn and the hole diameter is less than or equal
to the diameter of the support strip, replace the blade.
Brody was in a good mood after
receiving our process explanation and finding the hydraulic valve block pass
the test. He directly placed a trial order for 200 hydraulic valve blocks, and
the communication time was only 3 days.
AAK hydraulic valve, with guaranteed accuracy, you can also have a
small try.
AAK adopts the
high-pressure solution injection method, weakens the magnetism of the burr with
the solution, and then uses the instantaneous impact force of the liquid to not
only ensure that the burr of the hydraulic valve
block is 100% eradicated, but also effectively clean each part of the
hydraulic valve block. Most of its peers do not have such a process. After
learning about it, the American customer sent an inquiry sheet for the
hydraulic valve block worth US$20,000 within 20 minutes.
Throughout the entire hydraulic valve industry,
the deburring of hydraulic valve block is still manual. The work piece is
polished with tools such as file, sandpaper and grinding head. This method has
blind spots, general effect and low efficiency, especially for the burrs in
complex cross holes. Even the later inspection can not find the burr hidden in
the hydraulic valve block.
Eric, an American hydraulic valve customer,
purchased a batch of hydraulic valve blocks from a hydraulic valve manufacturer some time
ago. Problems were found in the test stage. The pressure regulation of the
hydraulic system was unbalanced. After careful analysis, it was found that
there were different degrees of burrs at the cross holes of the hydraulic valve
blocks. After modifying the hydraulic valve block sample several times, the
burr could not be 100% eradicated. His client did not accept the quality of the
hydraulic valve block, and Eric could only reconsider other manufacturers.
Eric saw an article on deburring
treatment of hydraulic valve block of AAK hydraulic valve on B2B website
and found that it was similar to his current problems. Eric sent us his
hydraulic valve block drawing and the problems encountered by email. He asked
us how to deal with the burr problem of hydraulic valve block?
The burr shape and size of the hydraulic valve
block are related to the spindle speed, drilling feed, work piece material,
cutting tool, coolant, bit geometric angle and other factors. It really needs
unique skills to clean it thoroughly. AAK hydraulic valve mainly adopts the
high-pressure solution injection method, uses the solution to weaken the
magnetism of the burr, and then uses the instantaneous impact force of the liquid
to not only ensure that the burr of the hydraulic valve block is 100%
eradicated, but also effectively clean each part of the hydraulic valve block,
with high efficiency and no dead corner.
Within 20 minutes after Eric received our email
reply, he sent an inquiry for the hydraulic valve block worth US$20,000.
According to his hydraulic valve block drawings and parameter requirements, we
calculated the most advantageous hydraulic valve block price. For a week, we
didn't hear any news from Eric. We thought he wouldn't order the hydraulic
valve block. But we didn't expect that after 15 days, we received his order for
the hydraulic valve block.
Purchase burr free hydraulic valve block, choose
AAK hydraulic valve, you can have a try.
AAK pilot hydraulic pressure
valve adds welded high-strength filter screen at the inlet section of
slender hole, and the damping hole is 100% unblocked. Colin faced 4 times of
hydraulic pressure valve approval failures, which were solved at one time by
AAK hydraulic valve.
Many hydraulic valve manufacturers believe
that the pilot hydraulic pressure valve has fine impurities and is easy to
block the pilot stage slender hole, which is determined by the special
structure of the hydraulic valve. Therefore, they just remind customers to use
high-purity hydraulic oil and never reflect on their production process,
resulting in many hydraulic valve customers falling over here.
Colin is the purchasing supervisor of a hydraulic valve company in
Germany. He has a batch of orders for pilot hydraulic pressure valves recently.
During sample approval stage, it was found that some fine impurities could
easily block the pilot stage slender hole, resulting
in the blockage of the damping hole, the loss of pressure of the pilot stage
and the failure of the pressure valve. The hydraulic pressure valve sample was
modified for 4 times, but it was still unapproved. Colin looked for no less
than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers within 7 days, and only got a reply from
3 hydraulic valve manufacturers: they could not make sure that the damping hole
was 100% unblocked. The remaining more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers
did not give any reply at all.
Colin happened to see an article about damping
hole blockage of AAK hydraulic valve on B2B website. With a try attitude,
he contacted us AAK hydraulic valve and asked about the treatment of damping
hole blockage. After we asked him about the parameter requirements and use
scenarios of his hydraulic pressure valve, we said there was no problem and
could rest assured to proofing.
Colin
didn't think too much either. He tried again with the mentality of making every
possible effort. Unexpectedly, the pilot hydraulic pressure valve sample made
by AAK not only passed the testing but also solved the problem of damping hole
blockage, and the pressure debugging was more sensitive and stable. The next
day, he transferred the hydraulic pressure valve order to AAK. He wondered why hydraulic
pressure valve of AAK proofing passed testing at one time.
In order
to deal with severe working conditions more effectively, AAK hydraulic valve
reduces the impact of oil pollution on the pressure valve, and has optimized
and upgraded the pilot hydraulic pressure valve process for a long time. While
improving the oil inlet stability, the welded integral high-strength filter
screen and local turbulent self-cleaning function are added to the inlet
section of the pilot slender hole, so as to reduce the impact of oil pollution
on the normal operation of the hydraulic valve. The opening and overflow
characteristics of the hydraulic pressure valve are better, and the pressure
curve is less affected by the change of overflow flow, which plays a very good
protective role for the system.
With the
pilot hydraulic pressure valve produced by AAK, you will never worry about the
blockage of the damping hole. You can also try a small order.
Kaden, a hydraulic valve purchaser from the United
States, has been successfully purchasing hydraulic valves from China in recent years,
and his boss also attaches great importance to him. Last month, at the original
hydraulic valve manufacturer, he placed an order for a hydraulic valve
block with multi-stage valve spool hole. The manufacturer confirmed that
there was no problem and submitted the PPS of hydraulic valve block for 3
times, but the accuracy of valve spool hole was not approved every time. This
made his customer very unhappy and thought it was a waste of his time. If the 4th
hydraulic valve block sample still could not be approved, the order would have
to be cancelled. The boss was also surprised and asked him to solve it within a
time limit. Kaden felt unprecedented pressure.
Kaden realized that the current hydraulic valve
manufacturer must be replaced and contacted with no less than 10 hydraulic
valve manufacturers. No factory has the ability to accept the order of this
hydraulic valve block. Because the valve spool hole of this hydraulic valve
block had a multi-stage structure, the accuracy was difficult to be controlled,
the diameter tolerance of the valve spool hole of the hydraulic valve block was
small, and there were many accuracy requirements such as coaxiality.
Kaden was a little frustrated and seemed to have to
give up. A hydraulic valve manufacturer
in Ningbo told Kaden that the multi-stage valve spool hole must be processed
with URMA reaming technology, and AAK hydraulic valve had this technology and
could have a try.
Kaden contacted us AAK hydraulic valve, directly indicating
that he was introduced to us by a hydraulic valve factory, now he was in
trouble with a special hydraulic valve block. He sent us the drawings and
parameter requirements of the hydraulic valve block, and asked whether we were
sure to be able to produce this hydraulic valve block. After analyzing the
drawings, the technical team of AAK hydraulic valve told him that we would send
the samples of hydraulic valve block directly to him for testing after 12 days.
If the accuracy of hydraulic valve block met the requirements, we could produce
it.
Kaden requested that the PPS of the hydraulic valve
block must be good so as not to completely disappoint his customer. On the 5th
day after receiving the sample, he was very happy to inform us by email that
after two tests by his company and his customer, AAK's hydraulic valve block
met the requirements. He asked us to prepare materials and production can be
started once other details are determined.
AAK hydraulic valve URMA
reaming technology adopts guide bar support to ensure correct tool position
and rigorous cooling to ensure tool lubrication. Especially for multi-stage
valve spool hole, or valve spool hole with small diameter, we have our own
processing experience. This is rare in Ningbo hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Many times, some peers admire and spontaneously recommend those hydraulic valve
customers with this special requirement to us.
After 2 days of discussion, the delivery date and
payment terms were confirmed, and Kaden's uneasy heart was finally put down.
The boss appreciated his quick resolution of this difficult hydraulic valve
block order and gave him a 5-day holiday to relax.
AAK hydraulic valve block, with guaranteed accuracy,
you can also have a try.
AAK hydraulic
pressure valve has no horn hole. In Ningbo, the hydraulic valve production
base, few factories are sure to solve the horn hole. AAK uses automatic
programming software to program and upgrade the processing technology of
hydraulic valve cavity hole. The geometric tolerance of each hole is within
0.02mm. At the same time, small fillet is used to replace the R angle of our
peers to transition, which completely avoids the horn hole.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers
use manual programming to design the geometric tolerance of cavity hole, which
is prone to human error and can not be corrected. At the same time, due to the
limitation of operation methods, the transition angle between small holes in
the hydraulic pressure valve generally adopts the R angle for transition, which
is easy to artificially leave a small space that is not easy to detect, so the
horn hole will probably appear. After the hydraulic pressure valve is used for
a period of time, the horn hole is easy to leak. What's more troublesome is
that the oil stain outside the hydraulic pressure valve is easy to enter the
valve spool and damage the whole hydraulic system.
Adair, a hydraulic valve purchaser in Scotland, had
many contacts with AAK hydraulic valve before, because he pursues low price,
there is no cooperation between us. In July this year, he placed an order for
hydraulic pressure valve worth 80,000 US dollars to a hydraulic valve
manufacturer in Ningbo. 2 months later, the quality of the hydraulic pressure
valve failed to meet the standard every time. Adair realized that even if it
took another 2 months, the sample still could not be approved. Adair
accidentally saw an article from AAK about "horn hole" on the B2B
website, he further sourced until he got to the AAK website:
www.aakindustry.com, he realized that it was the hydraulic valve manufacturer
he had been contacting.
When we received Adair's email, we understood the
problems and causes of his hydraulic pressure valve. 3 days later, we received
the hydraulic pressure valve samples that he asked the original hydraulic valve
manufacturer to send, we found that the processing coaxiality of the cavity
hole diameter of the combined holes of these hydraulic pressure valves was
between 0.03-0.05mm, and there were tool connecting traces at the transition R
angle. After we took the video and sent it to him, he understood why the
samples of the original hydraulic valve manufacturer were always not approved.
After receiving the video, Adair transferred the
order of this hydraulic pressure valve to us AAK hydraulic valve the next day.
At the same time, Adair also joked that you found the problem, but not means
that you are able to solve the problem. How does you AAK hydraulic valve do and
make me believe that you can 100% solve these hidden problems.
AAK hydraulic valve is good at finding the pain
points of traditional process, and is more willing to take time to improve or
innovate the production process of hydraulic valve. Many times, the process has
been one step ahead of the peers. For example, this hydraulic pressure valve is
programmed by automatic programming software, which replaces the manual
programming commonly used by our peers. After the hydraulic pressure valve
automatically generates the cavity hole, then next step is processed. The
geometric tolerance of each hole must be controlled within 0.02mm. If it does
not meet the standard, the next step of processing will not be carried out. At
the same time, each transition angle between the small holes of the hydraulic
pressure valve uses a small fillet to replace the common R angle of our peers.
By optimizing the processing parameters of the cartridge hole, the horn hole is
completely avoided.
AAK hydraulic
pressure valve has no horn hole, feeling at ease to use. You can also try a
small order.
Maarten purchased a batch of hydraulic
valve blocks some time ago. In the early test, the system parameters were
normal. Strangely, 10 days after the hydraulic valve block was started, the
hydraulic oil in the system suddenly deteriorated. The technician immediately
suspended the operation of the whole test system. After inspection, it was
found that there were small iron filings in the hydraulic oil, and the valve
spool of the cartridge valve connected with the hydraulic valve block also
showed signs of wear. Maarten mentioned these problems to the hydraulic valve manufacturer,
but the hydraulic manufacturer asked the customer to use better hydraulic oil
and avoided the problem of his own hydraulic valve block. With delivery date
approaching, Maarten is very helpless.
Maarten really had no choice but to try to find
other suitable hydraulic valve
manufacturers on the website to take over the hydraulic valve block order.
He consulted no less than 10 manufacturers in a week, but all manufacturers
gave the same reply, they could not 100% avoid fine iron filings. This made
Maarten start to doubt the ability of the hydraulic valve manufacturers in
China.
Before, Maarten had a certain understanding about us
AAK hydraulic valve through some B2B websites, so with a try mentality, he
directly emailed us a trial order for 5 hydraulic valve blocks. After receiving
our hydraulic valve blocks, Maarten tested and compared, he found that AAK hydraulic
valve block has strong sealing, high precision and gloss finish. What's more,
he was glad that there was no iron filings residue. He immediately sent the
drawings, quantity, delivery date and other detailed requirements of the
hydraulic valve blocks currently being purchased from the other hydraulic valve
manufacturer. After confirming all details with us, he cancelled the order with
the original hydraulic valve manufacturer. At this moment, Maarten could
finally rest assured.
Why do more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers
dare not accept the order of this hydraulic valve block? Because this hydraulic
valve block is very special. There are many slender holes in the processing
channels intersected by each hydraulic valve block, and the cleaning of iron
filings is a cumbersome process. If there is no unique skill, it is difficult
to eradicate it 100%. 2 years ago, AAK hydraulic valve also had an order cancelled
by customer due to the iron filings of hydraulic valve block not completely
eradicated. After that lesson, our technical team spent half a year innovating
the production process of hydraulic valve block, and finally AAK hydraulic
valve was able to mass produce the hydraulic valve without iron filings 1 year
ago.
The reason why AAK hydraulic valve block can remove
the residual iron filings that can not be achieved by peers is that after
the hydraulic valve block is processed, AAK firstly uses high-temperature
alkaline water to cook the hydraulic valve block, so that the iron filings of
the hydraulic valve block lose demagnetization, and then uses a small pneumatic
grinding wheel to clamp the rotary file to go through the hole, so as to
completely eliminate possible flash at the corner. Then, the high-pressure
washing machine shall carry out high-pressure washing on the dirt on the inner
and outer surfaces of the duct. Finally, the industrial endoscope and cold
light source shall be used to check the flash and burr at the corner in the
duct. If any, point-to-point and high-pressure washing shall be carried out
until the iron filings in the hydraulic valve block are completely eradicated.
AAK hydraulic valve block is made with ingenuity.
Don't worry about buying and using. You can also try a small order.
The types of hydraulic cartridge
valves can be classified from different angles. Sometimes, buyers who purchase
hydraulic cartridge valves are confused. After all, they are not engineers. In
order to classify more simply and intuitively, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE describes
the types of hydraulic cartridge valves from the most extensive installation
point of view. In this way, we can divide the hydraulic cartridge valves into 3
types: Insert-type, Slide-in and Screw-in.
Berge,
an old
British hydraulic valve customer, was transferred from the quality control
department to the import department. He is a very studious buyer. Maybe it's
fate, we
often discuss some knowledge points about hydraulic valves. Some time ago, he
didn't understand
that every time, when the domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers
receive an inquiry about his hydraulic cartridge valve, they always ask about
the type of hydraulic cartridge valve. The question about the type of hydraulic
cartridge valve made him very nervous and helpless.
Indeed,
there are many types of hydraulic cartridge valves now, from the perspective of
function, hole type and scene. We found that they are most commonly classified from
the perspective of installation, which is easy to understand and remember. I
summarized our hydraulic cartridge valve types to Berge. After reading my
following report about the types
of the hydraulic cartridge valves, he told me that this classification for the hydraulic
cartridge valve types can
basically cover more
than 80% of the hydraulic cartridge valves. Here, I'll also share
with you the types of
hydraulic cartridge valves I gave him.
Common types of hydraulic cartridge valves are as follows:
The Insert-type hydraulic cartridge valves: completely enters the inside of the valve block and
does not expose any part outside the valve block. It is positioned by its own
thread or other components such as pipe joint, snap ring, retaining ring etc. For
example, hydraulic check valve and two-way hydraulic flow regulating valve have
this design.
The slide-in hydraulic cartridge valves: it does not have installation threads itself, and
the valve spool needs to be used together with the cover plate. The valve spool
is integrated in the valve block to switch the oil circuit on and off through
pressure and spring force. Different cover plates are used to realize direction
control, pressure control and flow control.
Screw-in hydraulic cartridge valves, that is, hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves, have different brands and different hole types,
which are usually unable to be interchanged in installation. At present, there
are 3 commonly used pass types: ISO7789, SAE and SUN.
After understanding
the above 3 types of hydraulic cartridge valves, you can basically understand
the types of hydraulic cartridge valves, and you can also extend other types of
hydraulic cartridge valves. These types of hydraulic cartridge valves are
related to each other.
AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE uses the most intuitive installation angle to describes the types of
hydraulic cartridge valves. If you have any questions about the hydraulic
cartridge valves, please leave a message on AAK website. We are at your service
at any time.
9 months ago, we received an email from an old
customer in the UK, informing that Berge had transferred from the quality
control department to the import department. We could see from the email of the
young man's self-introduction that he was full of confidence in procurement.
Unfortunately, the first hydraulic valve order went wrong. A batch of orders
for hydraulic
flow valves shipped from a hydraulic valve manufacturer in Ningbo had no
problem when tested before leaving the factory. However, when the goods were
delivered to customers, the company received a series of quality complaints
from consumers in only 1 month, and nearly 20% of the hydraulic flow valves had
leakage.
The boss was not very happy, and requested Berge to solve the guest's
complaints within 1 week.
Berge had discussed with the original hydraulic valve manufacturer several
times, but it has not been effectively solved, and he even wanted to resign.
Shawn, a former old purchaser, felt his frustration and reminded him to
communicate with AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE to see if it could be solved.
We received Berge's email with product drawings,
pictures and test data of the defective hydraulic flow valves. We preliminarily
judged that there was a problem with the valve spool. In order to solve the
problem at one time, Berge asked his hydraulic valve manufacturer to send 5
samples of defective hydraulic flow valves to AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE for thorough
inspection.
After receiving the
hydraulic flow valve samples, frankly speaking, the main line type of the
hydraulic flow valve was acceptable. The problem was that the valve spool
deviated from the central axis, resulting in leakage. Of the 5 hydraulic flow
valve samples sent, two were in this situation, and the other three were of
acceptable quality. This proved what we said before that it was difficult to 100%
ensure that the valve spool did not deviate from the central axis due to human
error, which was a hidden problem among peers. I suggested him to replenish 40%
hydraulic flow valves to their customer within 30 days. If the customer could accept
this suggestion, we would give priority to the production of these replenished
hydraulic flow valves.
A week later, Berge informed by email that his boss
had agreed to the plan and his customer could accept only 20% replenishment.
They just repeatedly stressed that the replenishment of the hydraulic flow
valve could not have any quality problems.
AAK realized a few years ago that the hydraulic flow
valve produced by CNC lathe has high requirements for operators and is prone to
human errors, resulting in the deviation of valve spool from the central axis.
On the production equipment, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE have imported the Swiss
machine tool with the highest precision to make up for the short board of CNC
lathe. At present, less than 10% of the peers have this equipment. It can
replace 7 groups of accessories at random. The high-pressure hydraulic flow valve
produced by Swiss equipment has high precision, which is at least 20% higher
than that of domestic conventional CNC lathe. Not only the precision is high,
but also the stability is guaranteed.
Last week, we received Berge's good news email. The
customer was very satisfied with the replenishment of the hydraulic flow valve,
and the boss was also very happy. Berge also joked with us that it was thanks
to us AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, otherwise he would have changed his job.
AAK hydraulic flow valve, our old customers have
been purchasing because of trust. You can also have a try.
Mason, an old customer of hydraulic valves from the
United States. In March this year, he was not satisfied with the quotation of
one of our hydraulic
valve blocks, which was nearly 7% higher than his target price, so he
didn't place an order with AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. Unexpectedly, he sent an email
last week asking whether our quotation of hydraulic valve block in March was
still valid. We replied that you were our old customer and the price must be valid.
Mason also frankly told us that there was a problem with the hydraulic valve
blocks he purchased, which made him very headache now.
After communication, we learned that there were no
problems in the preliminary test and shipment inspection on the hydraulic valve
blocks produced by his previous hydraulic valve manufacturer. In the recent
month, users had gradually reported that after setting up and debugging, the
surface of the hydraulic valve block fell off paint, rusted, and even there was
pollution inside the hydraulic system. Nearly 60% of the 300 hydraulic valve
blocks purchased had this situation, and only 40% were still on sale. His boss
found something wrong and suspended the sale of the remaining products. The
hydraulic valve manufacturer believed that this was caused by the improper use
of the hydraulic valve block by the user, and was only willing to replenish 10%
of goods to solve this problem. His boss asked him to find a qualified
hydraulic valve block supplier as soon as possible.
Because the use scenario of this hydraulic valve block
was special, Mason knew that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE could solve this problem, but
his did not have authority to pay a 7% higher price. He contacted no less than
10 hydraulic valve manufacturers,
and only 3 of them replied. They could solve the paint falling and rust spots
on the surface of the hydraulic valve block, but the internal pollution could
not be 100% avoided because they did not know the user's operation. The
remaining hydraulic valve manufacturers did not give any reply at all.
Mason was very helpless. He had to bite the bullet
and asked his boss for help if the purchasing price could be raised. When his
boss learned about the whole purchase process, he asked Mason, why he did not report
this situation in March?
After the delivery date provided by AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE was agreed by his users, Mason sent us the order for this hydraulic valve
block, and asked us to ship as early as possible. At the same time, his boss
was curious about how we did it.
The anti-rust treatment of AAK hydraulic valve block
in the past is the same as that in other factories, which adopts surface
painting or conventional electroplating treatment. The pain point of this
process is that the hydraulic valve block is easy to be scratched, causing
corrosion and increasing system pollution. We understand these potential
problems of this process, and our technical team adheres to the new process
exploration, so that AAK now has its own unique anti-rust technology. With the
increasing requirements for product aesthetics and pollution control, AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE has its own proprietary anti-rust treatment technology, it electroplates
a 0.02 ~ 0.03 mm thick special coating on the surface of the hydraulic valve
block. This coating has excellent adsorption, not easy to fall off and also bright
appearance. Only on this point, AAK has crushed most peers.
For the production of hydraulic valve block, AAK has
proprietary
anti-rust technology, which is enough to reassure you. You can have a small
try.
Alston is the purchaser of a British hydraulic valve
company. He has been purchasing hydraulic valves in Ningbo for 3 years and has
been very smooth. Last month, he purchased a batch of hydraulic pressure valves.
During the sample approval process, the automatic pressure regulation of the
hydraulic pressure valves was not very stable. The hydraulic valve manufacturer
checked again and again, but still could not find the reason. Alston had a
headache.
Alston realized that he has to look for a new hydraulic
valve manufacturer to try, otherwise the order would go away. When he sent the
detected data and parameter requirements to the hydraulic valve manufacturers
he had previously contacted, only one manufacturer told him that it was the
problem with the pressure spring material or the processing process, but
because of power limitation, he has no time to produce this hydraulic pressure
valve order. The other manufacturers replied that they need to make samples
first before they knew the results.
Alston felt the pressure. Coincidentally, he heard
that the AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE paid great attention to the pressure spring. When
we received his email, we understood that this hydraulic pressure valve has
very high requirements for automatic adjustment of the pressure spring. We produced
and supplied a batch of similar designs to a Russian customer as early as 2
years ago, so we sent him pictures of similar hydraulic pressure valves.
Alston felt that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE could solve
this dilemma and asked how long it would take to produce 1000 hydraulic
pressure valves. We advised that the delivery time depends on the production
time for the pressure spring, because of power limitation, the production
capacity of the pressure spring is very low. According to the warehouse
inventory, there are 440 inventories. For the remaining 600, according to the
current power consumption, we conservatively estimate that it will take an additional
45-55 days. Therefore, only 400 hydraulic pressure valves can be shipped to
him, and the remaining 40 pressure springs should be reserved for make samples
for other customers.
For this pressure spring, most of our peers use
carbon steel, which will cause the plasticity and toughness of this valve spool
to be very general, the tensile strength is relatively weak, and the stability
is difficult to control. There is no problem to use it for the general quality
requirements.
As early as 5 or 6 years ago, AAK has replaced the
carbon steel pressure spring with the piano steel wire pressure spring imported
from South Korea. There were only a few manufacturers using it in the whole
hydraulic industry in Ningbo. The piano steel wire pressure spring imported
from Korea has high strength, good elasticity, fatigue resistance, creep
resistance and toughness, smooth and clean surface, strong anti rust ability,
specified tensile strength and torsional performance, and there will be no
cracks, folds, scars, tensile cracks and corrosion on the surface.
AAK hydraulic pressure
valves, with imported piano steel wire pressure spring, can be used with peace
of mind. You are courage to try a small order.
Under the pressure and flow conditions, AAK
hydraulic valve effectively controls the sealing ring of each hydraulic valve,
so it always ensures that the flow parameters in the hydraulic directional
valve system are at the normal value. Only a small detail of the sealing ring
has made the reputation of AAK hydraulic valve exceed that of many domestic and
foreign peers. I will not modest about this.
Many hydraulic valve manufacturers are used to
domestic sales and are used to dogmatic production. Maybe they can copy the
production process of their peers and continue to use some traditional
technologies, but they may be helpless on the details or hidden problems of
some spare parts.
Leo, an old customer, suddenly sent me 3 samples of
hydraulic directional valve some time ago. I didn't receive any email about these
samples of hydraulic directional valve in advance. So I thought Leo asked us to
offer a quotation.
After receiving the hydraulic directional valve
samples, I asked him by e-mail how many quantities he needs and what scenario this
hydraulic directional valve will be used, then I would give him the plan of
this hydraulic directional valve. However, Leo didn't need my quotation, just
let me judge the quality of these hydraulic directional valves. Sending samples
to let me just see the quality without doing other actions. This was the first
time I had met.
After testing these hydraulic directional valve
samples, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE technical team found the overall quality was good.
The only hidden danger was that the flow parameters of one of the hydraulic
directional valves were a little unstable, which should be adjustable in use. I
directly told Leo that these hydraulic directional valves were qualified, but
he should pay attention to flow adjustment during use. Leo's email reply
surprised me again. Leo said that no wonder he stumbled in purchasing these
hydraulic directional valves. Even AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE couldn't find problems
with these hydraulic directional valves.
I angrily asked the technical team to test these
hydraulic directional valves again and simulate the use scenario of Leo's
hydraulic directional valve under the pressurization and flow scenario. The
test report came out soon. There were problems with the sealing rings of these hydraulic
directional valves. Leo was relieved when he learned of the result and found
the root of the problem. 30% of the hydraulic directional valves he purchased
this time had the problem of flow parameters lower than the standard parameter
values required by customers. His hydraulic valve manufacturer had been unable
to find the root cause of the problem. He never thought it was caused by the
mismatch of sealing rings. The traditional nitrile rubber sealing rings were
not suitable for hydraulic scenes.
I told Leo that nearly 90% of the domestic hydraulic
valve manufacturers use either silicone sealing rings or nitrile rubber sealing
rings. They rarely think about different media, different hydraulic scenes, and
adjust the appropriate sealing rings according to the media. They just follow
the market and use what other people use. We AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, as early as 5
years ago, had conducted material analysis for this technical pain point. After
comparison, we specified different parameter requirements, different media and
different scenarios to correspond to different material sealing rings. For
example, the sealing performance and stability of fluororubber sealing ring are
most suitable for the hydraulic directional valve required by Leo’s customer.
AAK hydraulic directional valve has details and
targeted technology. You can try a small order.
The hydraulic needle valves produced by AAK has no leakage and its
stability exceeds that of most of its hydraulic valve peers, enabling a foreign
trade company in Guangdong to save a major global top 500 customer. The key is
that AAK adopts high-precision processing equipment imported from Switzerland
to produce hydraulic needle valves. At present, there are less than 5 hydraulic
valve manufacturers with such high configuration in the hometown of hydraulic
valves in Ningbo.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers use CNC lathe to produce hydraulic needle
valves. The hydraulic needle valves made by CNC lathe has high technical
requirements for operators and is prone to human errors, such as the valve spool
deviates from the central axis. Because of human error, the hydraulic needle
valve leaks, and it is not easy to judge which part has the problem.
At the end of last year, Mr. Wang, the general manager of a hydraulic
valve export company in Shanghai, received complaints from major customers
about the several batches of hydraulic needle valves, which made them in a
mess. Under the introduction of friends, he came to our company and brought
those hydraulic needle valve samples with problems. After inspection, it is
found that the main line of the hydraulic needle valve is offset, and the valve
spool deviates from the central axis. I told him that this problem is easy to
solve and also easy to cause problems. Only with a better CNC lathe can it be
guaranteed. We provided him the test data of AAK hydraulic needle valves for
comparison, and also asked him to take several hydraulic needle valve samples
at random and send them to his customer to compare with the domestic peers.
More than half a year later, there was still no reply from Mr. Wang. I
didn't know how difficult it was for a top 500 enterprise to place a new order
until I had a telephone communication with Manager Wang for more than 30
minutes last week. After Mr. Wang went back last time, he wanted to send the
samples of AAK hydraulic needle valves to the major foreign customer, a global
top 500 enterprises. At first, the customer refused until their overseas colleagues
came to visit with the samples of the hydraulic needle valve to test the
samples together on site. After the test, the customer was very satisfied with
the quality of the hydraulic needle valve samples, which not only had good
surface gloss, high precision, but also had strong sealing performance. Customer
is willing to place a trial order first. As long as the quality of the mass
production is the same as the samples brought, they can continue to purchase
all kinds of hydraulic valves from their company. Mr. Wang asked us to work
together to keep this global top 500 customer.
In order to achieve zero leakage of the hydraulic needle valve, AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE has imported the highest precision production equipment from Swiss
to make up for the short board of CNC lathe. At present, less than 10% of the
peers have this equipment. It can replace 7 groups of accessories at random.
The high-pressure hydraulic needle valve produced by Swiss equipment has high
precision, which is at least 20% higher than that of domestic conventional CNC
lathe. Not only high precision, but also stability.
The zero leakage AAK hydraulic needle valve is being used by global top 500
enterprises. You can also try an order.
Hydraulic directional control valve troubleshooting, in only half of the time given
by Leo, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE used Fluororubber Sealing Ring and solved the
problem of the hydraulic directional control valve troubleshooting that the
other hydraulic valve manufacturers have not been able to solve, so that Leo
can sleep at ease.
This morning, just after reading the emails in the
office and preparing for a cup of coffee, my colleague forwarded me an
international express. I was a little surprised that there was no parcel notice
from any customer, who sent the hydraulic valves to AAK?
Will it be a complaint? I haven't met this for several
years. I opened the package in fear. There are 5 new hydraulic valves inside.
After simple inspection, they should be hydraulic directional valves. Looking
at the sending address and person, it turns out that it belongs to the old
customer Leo. This guy likes to make this sudden attack.
Open the face book and I ask him, these are hydraulic
directional valves. What do you need me to do? Leo said, hydraulic directional
control valve troubleshooting, can you do it? I'm not good at the hydraulic
directional control valve troubleshooting. He didn't reply. I immediately joked
that I'm not good at the hydraulic directional control valve troubleshooting,
which doesn't mean that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE is also not good at the hydraulic
directional control valve troubleshooting. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE valve has its
own technical team, which can help you on the hydraulic directional control
valve troubleshooting.
Leo commanded that I have 3 hours to go to bed. Give
you 2.5 hours to finish the hydraulic directional control valve
troubleshooting. I need to know where the hydraulic directional control valve
troubles are and your solutions to the hydraulic directional control valve troubleshooting.
After learning about his use scenarios of these
hydraulic directional valves and media, I immediately asked AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
technical team to finish the hydraulic directional control valve
troubleshooting within 2 hours. The AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE technical team
simulated the use scenario of Leo's hydraulic directional valves under the
pressurization and flow scenario. The test report came out soon. There were
problems with the sealing rings of these hydraulic directional valves. At the
same time, we suggested him use Fluororubber sealing ring to seal this
hydraulic directional valve.
We took 1.5 hours to finish the hydraulic directional
control valve troubleshooting, which is just half of the time given by Leo.
After learning the result, Leo was relieved and could sleep at ease.
The story turned out to be this:
Leo purchased some hydraulic directional valves, 30% of the hydraulic
directional valves have flow parameter problems. The hydraulic valve manufacturer has not been able to have solutions to the hydraulic directional
control valve troubleshooting. The boss is very unhappy.
I told Leo that nearly 90% of the domestic hydraulic
valve manufacturers use either silicone sealing rings or nitrile rubber sealing
rings. They rarely think about different media and different hydraulic scenes
or use the appropriate sealing rings according to the media. They all follow
the market, just use what other people use. We AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, as early as
5 years ago, have carried out material analysis for the pain points of sealing
rings. After comparison, we have formulated different parameter requirements,
different media and different scenarios to correspond to sealing rings of
different materials. For example, the sealing performance and stability
of fluororubber sealing ring are most suitable for the hydraulic directional valves purchased
by Leo.
AAK has targeted Technology on the hydraulic
directional control valve troubleshooting, contact AAK if you have needs for

Patrick, an old customer in the
Netherlands, used to buy our hydraulic cartridge valves. In the first half of
the year, he purchased a batch of hydraulic valve blocks from another hydraulic
valve manufacturer, but he had received a strange complaint from users in recent
weeks. The hydraulic oil deteriorated suddenly. After stopping the machine to
check the hydraulic oil, it was found that there were small iron filings inside
the oil. After disassembling the whole hydraulic valve, it was found that the
valve spool also showed signs of wear. The customer judged that there were iron
filings in this batch of hydraulic valve blocks.
Patrick discussed with the hydraulic
valve block manufacturer about how to deal with this quality complaint. The
manufacturer replied that it was the problem of hydraulic oil, not the
hydraulic valve block. So this problem was stuck here. Patrick emailed me and
asked if I knew this hydraulic valve block manufacturer and whether I could
mediate and solve the problem.
When I received the drawings of the
hydraulic valve block purchased by Patrick this time, I felt that the iron
filings probably came from the hydraulic valve block, because the intersecting
processing channels of this hydraulic valve block were complex. With Patrick's
appeal, I went to the hydraulic valve block factory. The overall feeling of the
factory was still good, but the cleaning process before hydraulic valve block
packaging did not accord with the process and details in my mind.
When I came back, I emailed Patrick. The
manufacturer should understand that the problem of iron filings lay with them.
However, according to the current iron filings removal process in this factory,
even if replenishment, it was difficult to completely avoid iron filings. So he
didn't want to reproduce and couldn't solve the problem, he had to perfunctory
your demands.
Patrick didn't reply to my email for 2
days. When I asked him what else he needed me to do in this matter, he said that
he had a big headache these 2 days. The boss asked him to find a new hydraulic
valve block manufacturer to replenish part of the hydraulic valve blocks to
take care of the customer's dissatisfaction with quality. I reminded him that
there were few hydraulic valve manufacturers that could do this type of
hydraulic valves with many slender holes. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE solved a similar
problem of iron filings of hydraulic valve block last month, and I sent him the
pictures of hydraulic valve block for reference.
The next day, Patrick asked us how long
it would take to produce 200 hydraulic valve blocks, which was the minimum
replenishment quantity required by the customer. When the replenishment order
was confirmed, Patrick was relieved.
How does AAK hydraulic valve remove iron
filings from hydraulic valve block? Firstly, the hydraulic valve block is
boiled with high-temperature alkaline water to make the iron filings of the
hydraulic valve block lose magnetism, and then the pneumatic small grinding
wheel is used to clamp the rotary file to go through the channel once, so as to
completely eradicate the possible flash at the corner, and then the
high-pressure washing machine is used to wash the dirt on the inner and outer
surfaces of the channel under high pressure. Finally, the industrial endoscope
and cold light source are used to check the flash burr, then point-to-point
high-pressure flushing until the fixed iron filings in the hydraulic valve
block are completely eradicated.
AAK has unique skills in dealing with iron filings
residue in hydraulic valve block. You can also try a small order.
5 years ago, AAK hydraulic pressure valves started
to use 100% Korean piano steel wire as the pressure spring of hydraulic valves,
while only a few hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo were using it. Russian
customer Natalia placed an order 3 months after receiving our hydraulic
pressure valve samples. Finally, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE became Natalia's only hydraulic
valve supplier in Ningbo.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers use carbon
steel, which is cheap and widely used, as the valve spool of hydraulic valves.
This pressure spring has good hardness, but its plasticity and toughness are
very general, its tensile strength is relatively weak and its stability is
difficult to control. After the hydraulic pressure valves being used for a
period of time, the pressure may not be adjustable.
Natalia, a Russian customer, purchased hydraulic
pressure valves from Ningbo last year. There was a problem with the automatic
pressure regulation. She received many complaints from her customers. Natalia contacted
more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers, but all the pressure springs from
them were not up to standard. Natalia thought of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, which may
be able to solve this problem. When we received the hydraulic pressure valve
drawing from Natalia, she repeatedly stressed the quality of the pressure
spring. After discussion, the technical team of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE promised to
send the approval sample of hydraulic pressure valve within 12 days.
After we sent the hydraulic pressure valve
sample, Natalia only confirmed the receipt and asked us to wait for her
comparison results. We have been waiting for 3 months, during which time we
sent an email to her, but didn't get a reply, so we held this hydraulic
pressure valve.
The day before our National Day holiday, I was
a little surprised when I received an email from Natalia for the hydraulic
pressure valve order. In the following conversation, we learned that she had
not only asked us AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE factory to make samples. She contacted with
more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers totally, and asked 3 manufacturers
to make samples and send the samples to their company for testing. The company
tested every components and the circulation of the whole hydraulic system. We AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE and another hydraulic valve manufacturer from Guangdong were
shortlisted. However, the pressure spring of AAK hydraulic pressure valve has
unique skills, and its tensile test parameters are the best. Natalia chose AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE finally. She said that if the quality of this order is no problem, AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE will be their only hydraulic valve supplier in Ningbo in the
future.
AAK hydraulic valves have always used piano steel
wire pressure spring imported from Korea. The material has high strength, good
elasticity, fatigue resistance, creep resistance and toughness, smooth and
clean surface, strong anti rust ability, specified tensile strength and
torsional performance, and the surface will not have cracks, folds, scabs,
tensile cracks and corrosion.
AAK hydraulic valves are not the common quality in
the market, but it is the one that is difficult for you to find several
hydraulic valve manufacturers in China that can be compared with us. It's not because
we are pride, we're more honest and just tell the truth. You can also try a
small order.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE factory is equipped with high-precision imported CNC lathes and honing machines, designed many small fixtures and special processing equipment for assembly, the production efficiency is 30% higher than that of its peers. Moreover, AAK never cheat customers, ensure quality and delivery time, customer Steven doesn't want to find a second supplier anymore.
For the foreign trade hydraulic valve orders, delivery time is very important and critical. The domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers are used to domestic sales. They are not too serious about the delivery date, the production is slow and the workers get off work at the fixed time. If it is urgent, nearly 90% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers will choose outsourcing processing. Different hydraulic valve manufacturers have different quality levels, so the quality of the hydraulic valves is uneven and the delivery time may still be delayed. Choose such a hydraulic valve manufacturer, the full quantity is not guaranteed, and the quality is also difficult to count on.
At the beginning of 2020, one of our old customers introduced the American customer Steven to AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. Steven mainly purchased many hydraulic check valves in the past 2 years. In previous years, he purchased hydraulic check valves in their country. Only the year before last, he started to develop hydraulic valve suppliers in Ningbo and Guangdong. He encountered problems. Some hydraulic check valve manufacturers have limited equipment, production does not conform to the process, and the accuracy of hydraulic valves is unstable, so they have been afraid to place orders.
Steven learned from our website and the communication that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has several high-precision imported CNC lathes and many small processing equipment, the production line operates 24 hours, and the hydraulic valve technicians take two shifts, each process has strict operation standards, and the output can be 30% higher than that of peers. At the same time, it can ensure the quality of hydraulic valves.
Steven placed an order for hydraulic check valves of more than 20,000 US dollars with AAK. It takes only 30 days for AAK HYDRALUIC VALVE to complete the order, because it is the first cooperation, he especially gave us 45 days to produce these hydraulic check valves and required that the delivery date cannot be postponed and the accuracy must meet the requirements.
After 25 days, the mass production of the hydraulic check valves was completed 35 days in advance. Steven was a little surprised at the productivity of our hydraulic check valves. 2 months after he received the shipments, he sent us an email that his customers were very satisfied with the quality of the hydraulic check valves, which can be compared with #sun hydraulic #. Steven is pleased to tell us that in Ningbo, he will no longer consider looking for a second hydraulic check valve supplier.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE is not only willing to spend a lot of money on equipment, but also willing to spend money on technological innovation. The key is that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE never makes cheat customers. The production line operates for 24h, with high capacity and quality. Its quality is comparable with the international first-line hydraulic valve brands. The world's top 500 enterprises also like the #hydraulic check valves# produced by AAK.
Guaranteed Quality, Quantity and Delivery, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE never cheat, which saves you worry and rest assured.
In Ningbo, the hometown of hydraulic valves, conservatively speaking, there are more than 100 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. 4 years ago, we began to contact HydraForce. AAK HYDRALUC VALVE lasted 2 years, replaced hydraulic valve materials 3 times and proofed 4 times, becoming the first hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer supplier of HydraForce valves among so many hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
4 years ago, I received a call from President Li, who is the agent of HydraForce valves in China. He said that from the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo, he heard that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE have invested a lot of equipment and constantly innovated technology, and has a good benchmark in Ningbo among hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers and asked if we are not interested in becoming a supplier of HydraForce valves.
Everyone wants to cooperate with top 500 enterprises in the world. While agreeing, I am also a little nervous. I am worried that if the quality of hydraulic valves does not meet the standard, we would make jokes among these hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
The first entry point between us and hydraforce valves is a hydraulic cartridge valve. The AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE technical team spent 33 days and sent the approval sample of the hydraulic cartridge valve. We soon got a reply from HydraForce valves. They asked us to re-make sample, listed us those parameters to be improved, and also gave us some encouragement. At present, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE parameters are among the top 3 of the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
Since AAK HYDAULIC VALVE can represent the manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge valve in Ningbo, we must continue to overcome difficulties until the sample of hydraulic cartridge valve is approved. We constantly tested imported materials, replaced imported machine tools with higher precision, designed different fixtures, and assembled special equipment required for proofing. The 4th hydraulic cartridge valve has finally been recognized by HydraForce valves, and has also been affirmed by hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, in 2 years, replaced hydraulic valve materials 3 times and proofed 4 times, became the first hydraulic cartridge valve supplier of HydraForce valves among so many hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
HydraForce
valves, one of the world's top 500 enterprises, recognized that AAK HYDRAULIC

Most of the technologies of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE are in the TOP 1-6 among
over 200 hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo. We have supplied hydraulic
valves to 3 global TOP 500 enterprises. There may be no 2nd Hydraulic
valve manufacturer like AAK in Ningbo.
Last night, I had nothing to do, so I remembered that I hadn't talked to
Ron for several weeks. I asked him on WeChat first "Is it convenient to
talk?". 5 minutes later, Ron called me. I asked Ron if there had been any
problem with the AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE service in the past more than 1 month. If
there was anything we hadn't done enough, please leave a message at any time.
Ron said that he liked hydraulic valve manufacturer like AAK because it made
him feel very safe. I asked him curiously why he said so.
Ron said, “The standard for me to choose a hydraulic valve manufacturer
is whether the hydraulic valve manufacturer can reassure me. Because we
Americans think when the matter is handed over to the hydraulic valve
manufacturer, it means that the matter is over. We just need to wait for the
result. For example, I place an order to the hydraulic valve manufacturer,
which means that the work of my order to the hydraulic valve manufacturer has
been completed. I just wait for the goods receipt."
Ron went on to say, "For
hydraulic valve manufacturer like you AAK, report everything. I still remember
the first order I placed with AAK 3 years ago. When the sample sending time was
approaching, you reported to me when the sample would be sent. After the PPS of
hydraulic valve was sent, you reported me when I could expect to receive the
PPS of hydraulic valve. On another occasion, due to the environmental
protection, the sending of samples had to be delayed. You also gave me a
detailed report on what problems AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE encountered, the new solutions and new sample
sending date. These all are my judgments on the details of hydraulic valve
manufacturers as the buyer of hydraulic valves. In my mind, AAK is the most
detailed hydraulic valve manufacturer."
I asked about the quality of the hydraulic valves we recently shipped.
Ron said that he was not too worried about the quality of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
manufacturer. The 3 global TOP 500 enterprises recognize the quality of AAK hydraulic valves. As long as there is
no human error in the production of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE manufacturer, the
quality will be guaranteed.
After talking for more than half an hour, Ron gave me a good lesson.
It's difficult to do business with Americans. But if you do the details well,
it's not difficult. The sense of service, time and quality are very important.
Ron finally said, "AAK moved me with the quality I didn't expect and
retained me with the details. It took the least time to purchase hydraulic
valves from AAK and get assured quality. Who doesn't like such a hydraulic
valve manufacturer?"
After the call, I also felt the pressure. If there were problems in the
details in the future, it would certainly affect Ron's judgment on what kind of
hydraulic valve manufacturer AAK is. Today, I once again stressed with the whole
sales team that we should pick up details one by one. If there are any
problems, report the customers in advance.
AAK is an excellent
representative of hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo. Hydraulic valve
manufacturers like AAK, you may not be able to find the 2nd one in Ningbo. If

In Google, enter the types of hydraulic valves, and you
can get a series of information about the types of hydraulic valves. It looks
like that each description about the types of hydraulic valves are all right. This
makes Berge a very big headache. He transferred from the quality control
department to the import department. He is a very studious buyer. Every time,
when domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers in China receive his design drawings, they ask a lot of
questions about the types of hydraulic valves.
Berge asked me how to clearly understand the types of
hydraulic valves expressed by hydraulic valve manufacturers and how AAK
classifies the types of hydraulic valves. I gave him an example. If there are a
pile of chairs there with various shapes and materials, how should we classify
them? Firstly divide the same kind of materials together, and then classify
them for the second time to put different shapes together. This simple
dichotomy is also suitable for the types of hydraulic valves.
What
is a hydraulic valve? It is a hydraulic element used to control liquid
pressure, flow and direction in hydraulic transmission. Let’s classify the types
of hydraulic valves for the first step:
A.
The types of hydraulic valves are
divided into 3 categories according to their functions: directional control
valve (such as one-way valve, reversing valve etc.), pressure control valve
(such as relief valve, sequence valve, pressure reducing valve etc.), flow
control valve (such as throttle valve, speed regulating valve etc.).
B.
According to the operation, the
types of hydraulic valves are divided into manual valve, motorized valve, electric
valve, hydraulic valve etc..
C.
According to the control, the
types of hydraulic valves are divided into Control valve, Cartridge valve and sandwich
plate valve.
D.
According to the installation,
the types of hydraulic valves are divided into threaded connection valve, plate
connection valve, integrated connection valve, Superposition valve and
cartridge valve
Then, let’s classify the types of hydraulic valves for the
second step. From above A category, if according to the installation, you will
get the sub-category of the types of hydraulic valves, for example, the threaded
hydraulic pressure valve.
Berge
understood the dichotomy of the type of hydraulic valves immediately,
especially dividing them by using chairs as example, which is very practical.
As soon as you listen and compare, you will understand, and can well understand
the various questions about the types of hydraulic valves from different hydraulic
valve manufacturers.
In
this way, the types of hydraulic valves are summarized from different angles.
Combined with the dichotomy of the types of hydraulic valves, the types of
hydraulic cartridge valves are basically clear, and they are interconnected and
integrated. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE can express any complex question about
hydraulic valve to you with "analogy". You can not only understand
it, but also use it.
AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE, describe the types of hydraulic valves in the most landing way.
If you have any questions about cartridge valves, please leave a message on AAK
website www.aakindustry.com. We are always at your service. If you have any
difficulties about the hydraulic valve, contact AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE.
In addition, AAK adopts its own proprietary quenching and tempering
heat treatment process to ensure the service life of hydraulic valves. If you also have some confusion about the service life of
hydraulic valves, feel free to contact us.
A tiny detail of the hydraulic check valve symbol direction is wrong, which
put the hydraulic check valve manufacturer in a very difficult position, the
factory is almost closed. There is a devil in the details. Whether you can grasp
the devil of the hydraulic check valve symbol requires you to think every day,
in addition to hydraulic check valve, hydraulic check valve, and still
hydraulic check valve.
When I opened the mailbox, I saw the e-mail of Adair who we had known for
3 years. There was a habit with Adair. He purchases only one type of hydraulic
valves from each one hydraulic valve manufacturer. We AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has
been his supplier for the hydraulic pressure valves. After reading the email,
it was actually a proofing request for a hydraulic check valve, not a hydraulic
pressure valve. It was a little abnormal. I thought he sent the wrong email.
I reminded him whether the e-mail was sent by mistake. He said bluntly
that he would need 3 samples of the hydraulic check valve as soon as possible,
according to the drawings in his email. Somehow, I always felt there was a
problem somewhere, and I went to see the drawing of the hydraulic check valve.
It is found that in the layout at the bottom of the drawing, the arrow
direction on the hydraulic check valve symbol is reversed. For the hydraulic
check valve symbol, the arrow direction is reversed, which is fatal. It seems
that a designer is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake.
When the technical team got the drawing and started proofing, they
called me. The hydraulic check valve symbol on the drawing seemed wrong. I'm
glad they can also find that there is an objection to the hydraulic check valve
symbol. I asked what they think of the hydraulic check valve symbol. They suggested
making two sets of samples, one according to the hydraulic check valve symbol
on the customer's drawing, and the other is for the hydraulic check valve
symbol we understand.
When Adair received two sets of samples, he deliberately asked why they
were two sets of samples. When we pointed out the details of the hydraulic
check valve symbol, Adair began to tell me the devil's story of the hydraulic
check valve symbol.
6 months ago, he sent his hydraulic valve manufacturer the drawing with
this hydraulic check valve symbol, which was made by their chief designer
overnight. The hydraulic valve manufacturer proofed according to this drawing.
As a result, the hydraulic check valve sample was also approved at one time.
The devil began to make trouble from this time. The 2,000 hydraulic check valves
were produced and shipped to his customer. The customer is testing a new
production line and needs to use these hydraulic check valves. After
installation, there is a big problem in startup and commissioning. Because of
the wrong direction, the medium returned, polluting the whole new production
line, and directly causing a loss of more than 260,000 US dollars. The customer
sent the loss list to his boss, who asked the hydraulic valve manufacturer to
bear it.
The hydraulic valve manufacturer quickly found out the reason, but did
not dare to directly tell the boss that this is the problem that the hydraulic
check valve symbol on your drawings is wrongly marked. If offended the
designer, there will be even no opportunity to quote in the future. Now the
hydraulic valve manufacturer is in a dilemma. Bear the loss, the number is
large. Not to bear the loss, they only have this only customer, Adair’s
company.
Who would have thought that this hydraulic check valve symbol butterfly
wings directly incited the loss of more than 260,000 US dollars across the
Atlantic. When the devil comes out, it seems difficult to find a way to the
best of both worlds. The only way is to keep the devil in a bottle.
AAK knows that there is a devil when looking at
the hydraulic check valve symbol. If there is any problem with the hydraulic
check valve symbol, please contact AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
has grown for 15 years, as one in the group of hydraulic valve suppliers in
Ningbo. The supply of hydraulic valves has reached its peak and trough, but we
always remember that we are a hydraulic valve supplier. I believe that as long
as we don't give up and do hydraulic valves all our life, AAK will become the best
hydraulic valve supplier. Our hydraulic valves have been supplied to 3 of the
world's top 500 Enterprises. There may be no second such hydraulic valve
factory among the Ningbo based hydraulic valve suppliers.
Angelo, an American
customer from top 500 enterprises, was introduced to AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE by a
friend. He needed to make a sample of a hydraulic pressure valve for his
customer to test new equipment. According to Angelo, he successively contacted
no less than 10 hydraulic valve suppliers. After 2 rounds of elimination, 3
hydraulic valve suppliers were selected for proofing. The hydraulic pressure
valve samples produced by 3 hydraulic valve suppliers had some leakage,
vibration and noise under different working conditions. His customer was not
satisfied with the samples from these hydraulic valve suppliers.
The customer asked
him to find an American hydraulic valve supplier. Considering the high cost of
American hydraulic valve suppliers, he still wanted to try the hydraulic valve
suppliers in China. If a qualified hydraulic valve supplier still couldn't be
found, he had to give up.
Due to equipment
limitations, if the requirements of working conditions are relatively high, the
hydraulic pressure valves produced by most China hydraulic valve suppliers will
have the problems mentioned above. The fundamental reason is that the accuracy
of hydraulic pressure valve is not enough. Generally, the ordinary hydraulic
valve suppliers cannot do this high-precision hydraulic pressure valve.
The accuracy of hydraulic
pressure valve has always been a hard index of AAK. AAK is not only equipped
with high-precision machine tools, but also with special equipment. AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE has many high-precision imported CNC lathes and honing
machines, as well as many small AAK designed fixtures and assembled special
processing equipment. Each equipment has operation instructions to eliminate
human errors. For the coarse grinding in the early stage to the fine grinding
in the later stage, at least 3 times of repeated debugging and testing shall be
carried out until the accuracy index requirements are fully met. In Ningbo, it
is difficult to find a second such hydraulic valve supplier.
Angelo realized the
difference between AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE and other hydraulic valve suppliers. A
week later, we delivered the samples according to the product accuracy required
by Angelo. His customers recognized the accuracy of the hydraulic pressure
valve in 3 days after receiving the samples. Angelo was satisfied and said that
AAK would be his preferred hydraulic valve supplier in Ningbo.
AAK hydraulic valve has hard indicators and strict requirements. We aim
to be the most trusted hydraulic valve supplier, or not to do. If you want to
find a hydraulic valve supplier with high requirements, just contact AAK,
The
hydraulic directional valves produced by AAK adopts its own proprietary
quenching and tempering heat treatment process, which can greatly improve the
strength of the hydraulic directional valve, avoid deformation and wear of the
hydraulic directional valve in the long-term use process, and significantly
increase the service life. Perhaps there is no second comparable manufacturer
in Ningbo like this. At most, 10% of the domestic hydraulic valve peers can
compete.
In
order to win orders, 50% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers do not do any
heat treatment to the materials for the hydraulic parts. Although some
hydraulic valve manufacturers insist on heat treatment, they can only be
outsourced processing due to without equipment. There are also 20% of hydraulic
valve manufacturers, who do not have a fixed outsourced processing place, so it
is impossible to ensure the heat treatment quality, not to mention the
stability. Due to these common problems in the hydraulic valve industry, the
hydraulic valve will show many problems after being used for a period of time,
such as product deformation and wear. Once the hydraulic valve is deformed, it
will easily to be blocked and the service life of the hydraulic valve will be greatly
shorten.
5 months
ago, Mike, a hydraulic valve customer in the United States, came to me. He had
been confused, since 2019, there have been continuous customer complaints about
the hydraulic directional valve he purchased. All the complaints are that after
the hydraulic directional valve has been used for a period of time, some
hydraulic directional valves are deformed and some hydraulic directional valves
are worn quickly.
Obviously,
there is a problem with the heat treatment of the materials used in the
hydraulic directional valve. Since 2019, due to the environmental protection
policy, the domestic heat treatment plants have been vigorously rectified, and
there are much fewer processing places. 50% of the hydraulic valve
manufacturers do not have a place to do heat treatment to the raw materials.
Even if heat treatment is done, 20% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers have
to change the processing places for each external processing. I sent him
several samples of AAK hydraulic directional valve and told him that the material
hardness of our hydraulic directional valve has not changed, which always can
reach about 50-55HRC or higher, and there is no problem with the special
requirement of 65HRC. He didn't know that the service life of hydraulic valve
is our hard index.
3
months ago, Mike issued a test order for the hydraulic directional valve. Each
different part of the hydraulic directional valve is marked with different
hardness requirements. He also wants to know how AAK ensures the service life
of the hydraulic directional valve.
To
get a long service life of hydraulic directional valve, heat treatment is the
first and most critical step. In order to do a good job in heat treatment, AAK
has held a heat treatment factory for 10 years. The quenching and tempering
heat treatment of hydraulic valve materials is sensitive to temperature. If the
temperature is too low, hardness is not enough and easy to deform. On the
contrary, it will lead to cracking. Only our proprietary heat treatment process
can accurately grasp the appropriate temperature under the operation of a
master with more than 6 years of experience. AAK can also select the
corresponding heat treatment process and determine the temperature range
according to the different working conditions of the hydraulic valve to ensure
the service life of the hydraulic valve.
AAK hydraulic directional valve has a service life of
more than 90% of its peers, you can also have a small try.
Nearly 90% of the hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo can not achieve the filtration accuracy
as high as 10 Microns. But AAK is 1 of the less than 10% hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers with a filtering accuracy up to 10 Microns.
Dylan came to AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE with a very special two position two-way hydraulic cartridge
valve. I knew he should have encountered a problem. For this special hydraulic
cartridge valve, the filtration accuracy of 10 Microns was the minimum
requirement. Dylan consulted the existing cooperated hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers, but none of them could meet the requirement. Most hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers said that the filtering accuracy of 25 Microns is
100% no problem. Only 1 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer gave feedback
and was 70% sure that the filtering accuracy could reach 10 Microns.
Dylan directly
asked me, is it really difficult for these hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers in Ningbo to achieve the filtering accuracy of 10 microns? How
can so many hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers have said that they can
only achieve the filtering accuracy of 25 Microns? I could understand his
helplessness and confusion.
This is because that
the conventional hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers produce hydraulic
valves according to domestic hydraulic standards in China. Not only 1 or 2, but
nearly 90% of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, can only able to get the
filter element aperture reaches 25μm. We AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE also used
conventional filters at the beginning, and the filtration accuracy was also based
on domestic standards. 3 years ago, a German hydraulic valve customer requested
the accuracy requirement of 10 Microns, which was not only a stimulus but also
a challenge for us. After more than 2 months of adjusting, we improved the
process on the small sample, and adjusted the equipment parameters until it was
configured to a high-precision filter and cooperated with AAK special hydraulic
oil, so that the filtration accuracy of particles in the hydraulic oil could be
controlled to 10μm. 1 year later, some hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers learned that AAK had upgraded with high-precision filters and
followed suit. However, due to technical constraints, many hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers still failed to meet the standard. Under the same working
conditions, if the hydraulic cartridge valves from these hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers have a service life of 2 years, the service life of AAK
hydraulic cartridge valves can be extended to 3-4 years.
Dylan was surprised
that we had mass produced hydraulic cartridge valves with filtration accuracy
up to 10 Microns 3 years ago, but only 1 of his current hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers could do it, and with only 70% sure. Dylan took out the
drawings and asked us to send samples of this special hydraulic cartridge valve
within 20 days.

Cliff is a purchaser of a hydraulic valve company in
the United States. He began to contact the domestic hydraulic valve industry in
China a few years ago and looked for new hydraulic valve suppliers everywhere.
He didn't know much about the status of China domestic hydraulic valve industry
and often ran up against a stone wall. A few months ago, he purchased a hydraulic
diverter valve in Ningbo, the hometown of hydraulic valves. He encountered
problems and could not guarantee the delivery date. It was a trial order of
hydraulic diverter valve for their company's major customer. This customer is one
of the world's top 500 enterprises. If the delivery date couldn’t be
guaranteed, the boss must be mad.
After the communication between his boss and the
customer, the customer required that the remaining 50% of the hydraulic
diverter valves must be delivered within 40 days, otherwise, the order would be
cancelled and all future hydraulic valve orders will not be placed neither.
Cliff took this as a chance to prove himself. He spent a week constantly looking
for new hydraulic diverter valve manufacturers, sending emails and making phone
calls. With the situation of his last hydraulic valve manufacturer, he found
that nearly most of the hydraulic valve manufacturers had low awareness of
production efficiency. No matter whether the time given by the customer is
enough for production or not, they just accepted the orders first. If the
customer is urgent in need of goods, nearly 90% of the hydraulic valve
manufacturers will choose outsourcing processing. The same batch of shipment
will come from different hydraulic valve processing places, and the quality of the
hydraulic valves is uneven.
Cliff's other hydraulic valve suppliers in Ningbo
suggested him to see if AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has time to catch up the delivery
for these hydraulic diverter valves. After knowing about the situation, I
suggested that he sent us 3 samples from the shipment of the hydraulic diverter
valves, as well as the drawings, detailed information and process parameters
etc, and then we can check if AAK can match the quality consistent and deliver
the goods in time.
The AAK technical team had formed the production
process and operation instructions for each process for this hydraulic diverter
valve order to clean up the mess, to ensure that the production can be completed
with the time frame given to Cliff. Cliff was glad that we AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
could solve this problem, and wanted to know more about how we guaranteed the
delivery date.
I told him that there was an old Chinese saying that
if you want a horse to run fast, you must let the horse eat well. Similarly, in
the production of hydraulic valves, if you want to produce fast, you must not
only have good equipment, but also special equipment. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has
many high-precision imported CNC lathes and honing machines, as well as many
small AAK designed fixtures and assembled special processing equipment. Each
equipment has operation instructions. The production efficiency is 30% higher
than that of its peers. Besides, AAK never cheat makes small tricks and has a
correct production attitude. Our production line operates 24 hours, and the
hydraulic valve technicians take two shifts off. Each process has strict
operation standards, and the output of hydraulic diverter valve is 30% higher
than that of its peers.
Because of the importance of the delivery date of
this hydraulic diverter valve order, during the production process of the
hydraulic diverter valve, Cliff asked us to report the production progress by
video every day after work, for fear that we would delay the shipment like the
last hydraulic valve manufacturer. After 25 days, the mass production of
hydraulic diverter valve was completed 10 days in advance. Cliff was happy to report
to his boss. The customer was also surprised to learn that the delivery was
early. Cliff finally put down his heart that had been suppressed for more than
30 days.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE never makes small tricks, and
the world's top 500 enterprises are also purchasing. Do you still have any
concerns?
Recently, I received the second re-order of a hydraulic
pressure reducing valve from French client Chinning. I still remember when I
first met Chinning in 2020, Chinning purchased hydraulic pressure reducing
valves in a hydraulic valve factory and encountered quality complaints from her
customers. The hydraulic pressure reducing valve was deformed in less than 3
months, and some valve spools and valve sleeves were seriously worn. More and
more customers began to return goods, and the old suppliers did not cooperate
with her work. Chinning had a big headache at that time, and the boss kept
putting pressure on her to find a hydraulic valve manufacturer with exquisite
quality as soon as possible.
Chinning did not find a new hydraulic valve manufacturer
very smoothly. Because her hydraulic pressure reducing valve had a special use
scenario and required high hardness of materials, it was unbearable for
ordinary factories. At the same time, under the environmental protection policy
of 2019, many previous heat treatment and processing factories were shut down,
so the supply supporting system was disrupted, and the heat treatment and
processing of many hydraulic valve manufacturers could not keep up.
Chinning found us AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE on Google by
chance. Chinning's first question message on our website was "how does AAK
ensure the service life of hydraulic valve products"? We didn't answer
directly, but asked her if the hydraulic valves you purchased had the problem of
deformation and rapid wear. She also replied quite frankly that she should find
a hydraulic valve manufacturer that paid attention to the service life of
hydraulic valves in the fastest time.
I sent her several samples of hydraulic pressure
reducing valve and told her that different parts of our hydraulic pressure
reducing valve have different material hardness standards, and some could reach
about 50-55HRC or higher. There is even no problem with 65HCR with special
requirements. The service life of hydraulic pressure reducing valve is our hard
index.
More than one week after we sent out the samples of
hydraulic pressure reducing valve, we received Chinning's email, including the
drawings of hydraulic pressure reducing valve and the hardness requirements for
various components. She asked whether we could produce this hydraulic pressure
reducing valve? I told her that his hydraulic pressure reducing valve is not
difficult, but just the working scene is some special. As long as the heat
treatment process is a little unique, it could 100% ensure her requirements.
The long service life of hydraulic valve is the most critical.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has controlled a heat treatment
plant for 10 years in order to do a good job in heat treatment. The quenching
and tempering heat treatment of this hydraulic pressure reducing valve material
is sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is too low, the hardness is not
enough, and it is easy to deform. On the contrary, it will lead to fracture.
Only our proprietary heat treatment process can accurately grasp the
appropriate temperature under the operation of experienced masters. AAK can
also select the corresponding heat treatment process and determine the
temperature range according to the different operating conditions of the
hydraulic pressure reducing valve to ensure the service life of the hydraulic
pressure reducing valve. Maybe there is no second hydraulic valve manufacturer with
this ability in Ningbo, and the service life of AAK hydraulic pressure reducing
valve exceeds 90% of its peers.
The service life of AAK hydraulic pressure reducing
valve is exquisite. You can also try a small order.
It took 3 months and 6 proofing adjustments to match
the sample quality of hydraulic pressure control valve made in Germany.
Finally, AAK passed the parameter test of hydraulic pressure control valve, and
our hydraulic pressure control valve was affirmed by Eaton’s company. We became
Eaton’s first supplier for hydraulic pressure control valve in China.
In mid October last year, an agent of Eaton came to
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE and brought a sample of Eaton hydraulic pump with a
purchase value of more than US$150,000.00, asking us to make a quotation. After
we checked the product parameter requirements of the artwork, we declined the
quotation because AAK is only good at hydraulic valve products. Compared with
its domestic peers, most of the technologies of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE were in TOP
1-6. We thought Eaton agent would not consider us again. However, after a
month, he came again and brought a Vickers Series solenoid valve with a value
of up to US$200,000.00. We directly said that we are not good at this kind of
products and couldn't quote.
Eaton agent saw that we rejected the products that
AAK is not good for 2 times, he felt that AAK is different from other hydraulic
valve manufacturers, and recognized the professionalism of AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE.
For the 3rd time, he brought a sample of pilot hydraulic pressure control valve
with very high precision and wanted to test the parameters with our pressure
test bench. I realized that Eaton agent actually wanted to test our pressure
test bench with his samples. It was the first time for us to encounter such a
situation, the purchaser did not test the quality of AAK hydraulic valve, but
tested the equipment producing hydraulic valves first.
Being satisfied with our pressure test bench, he
asked if we were interested in this pilot hydraulic pressure control valve,
which was a hydraulic pressure control valve produced in Germany. After
learning the parameters of the hydraulic pressure control valve in detail, AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE technical team discussed the artwork of the hydraulic pressure
control valve. We were 90% sure to match the quality of this hydraulic pressure
control valve produced in Germany.
More than 20 days later, we sent the first approval sample
of the hydraulic pressure control valve. The sample comments was that there was
still a 12% difference between the accuracy of AAK hydraulic pressure control
valve and that of German hydraulic pressure control valve. We were required to
send the revised sample again. The whole proofing and approving process have
been bumpy, the parameters were continuously required to be improved. The
samples have been adjusted for 6 times, finally, it met the quality of the
German hydraulic pressure control valve after 3 months.
Since its establishment in 2006, AAK has always put
technological innovation, high-quality raw materials and advanced equipment in
the first place. AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has many high-precision imported CNC
lathes and honing machines, as well as many small AAK designed fixtures and
assembled special processing equipment. Each equipment has operation
instructions to eliminate human errors. At the same time, we have also
undertaken many hydraulic valve orders from global TOP 500 enterprises such as HydraForce.
In Ningbo, it is difficult to find the 2nd such hydraulic valve manufacturer.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, focused on only one thing, is committed
to the research and development of hydraulic valve and produce good quality hydraulic
valve. You can also try a small order.
Just
yesterday, I received a repeat order from Andy for a hydraulic flow control
valve, which is just 3 months away from the delivery time of the last batch of
hydraulic valves. The American customer Andy, started to communicate with us in
2019. Maybe it was just not the right time, we still didn't partner with each
other till the beginning of this year. Because of encountering a Waterloo at
the previous hydraulic valve manufacturer, he turned the tables at AAK and
regained his confidence.
At the end of last year,
Andy purchased a batch of hydraulic flow control valves from a hydraulic valve
manufacturer. Because 20% of the shipments leaked, he encountered customer
claims. The old hydraulic valve manufacturer was unwilling to bear the claim or
re-produce. The customer kept pushing for replacement hurriedly. The boss asked
him to find a high-quality hydraulic valve manufacturer to reproduce the goods for
the customer.
Andy had a big headache at
that time. The replacement quantity is not big, the hydraulic valve manufacturers
with exquisite quality were unwilling to produce the small quantity for him. The
hydraulic valve manufacturers who were willing to produce this quantity, were
not able to meet the customer’s requirement about the roughness of hydraulic
flow control valve. He ran into a wall everywhere, which made Andy haggard.
When Andy contacted with
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, we are willing to cooperate with her to solve this
difficult problem. We tested the leaked hydraulic flow control valve sample.
The reason for the leakage is the roughness of the mounting surface of the
hydraulic flow control valve. According to the customer's service conditions,
this roughness must be controlled at 1.0 μ M or less. Andy is very confused why
80% of the installation surface roughness of hydraulic flow control valve is up
to standard, while 20% is beyond this range. The root of this fluctuation is
the master's operation method, resulting in human error. The surface roughness is
the depth, density, texture of the traces left on the machined surface from the
action between the tool and the part surface, which depends on the master's
processing technique.
Andy is very clear that at
present, most domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers generally control the
roughness of the installation surface of hydraulic flow control valve at
0.8-1.0 μ m. The biggest problem is not stable enough. Andy also knows that
only AAK controls the roughness value of hydraulic flow control valve within
0.8 μ M, which can completely avoid leakage outside the hydraulic flow control
valve, because of rest assured, Andy decided to repeat the order with AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, first
determines the material according to the roughness required by the customer,
and then determine the cutting process of the material according to the
characteristics of the material. The workshop produces it in strict accordance
with the process sheet. Technically, we abandon the traditional grinding
technology and use "turning instead of grinding". Equipped with
high-precision CNC lathes, we refit elastic cutting tools by ourselves, and use
automatic measuring instruments. The Ra value of hydraulic flow control valve
is controlled in the computer at any time, which can eliminate man-made errors
and prevent the fluctuation of Ra value of hydraulic flow control valve
completely.
AAK hydraulic valves,
produced with ingenuity, can be purchased with confidence. At the same time, the
delivery date can be guaranteed. If you have any concerns about the hydraulic
valve, you might come to have a look at our website
Gerrard, a Spanish hydraulic customer who just repeated the order
at the end of May, repeated another order for hydraulic pressure valve again
today, with total 3 orders for a hydraulic pressure valve a year. Since Gerrard
chose AAK hydraulic valve, his customers are very satisfied with the accuracy
and stability of AAK hydraulic valve. The market sales volume has increased by
nearly 30% year-on-year. Now he has a higher and higher position in the
company.
I still remember that Gerrard urgently needed to purchase a batch
of hydraulic pressure valves for cranes. However, due to the high requirements
for inner hole accuracy, he visited more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers,
and none of them could reach around 1μm error requirement. Gerrard was very anxious.
Fortunately, some peers brought Gerrard into contact with AAK. Finally, AAK helped
to solve the problem of inner hole accuracy of hydraulic pressure valve smoothly.
3 months before Gerrard got into touch us, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
purchased a honing machine imported from the United States to deal with the
production of special orders. After repeated exploration for more than a month,
modified the fixture of the equipment ourselves, we created the most consistent
SOP to ensure the 1 μM accuracy error of the inner hole for the hydraulic
pressure valve. At present, less than 5% of the domestic hydraulic valve
manufacturers are equipped with this equipment. Among these 5% of hydraulic
valve manufacturers, maybe only one manufacturer, we AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, can
modify the equipment on our own.
When AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE promised Gerrard that we have 90% of
confidence to ensure that the inner hole accuracy of the hydraulic pressure
valve can be controlled at 1 μ M, he was uneasy. After all, he visited more
than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers, and none of them successfully controlled
the inner hole accuracy of the hydraulic pressure valve to 1 μm。Gerrard
also was in doubt. We can understand him, because we haven't done the hydraulic
pressure valve with inner hole accuracy error controlled at 1 μ M before.
After 15 days of sending the sample, Gerrard emailed us that the
sample of AAK hydraulic pressure valve was approved at one time, and the
surface finish of the hydraulic pressure valve was also praised by his clients.
Subsequently, the first hydraulic pressure valve order from him was
successfully completed.
AAK hydraulic pressure valve has two
absolute advantages in controlling inner hole accuracy:
1.
AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE has advanced equipment - honing machine, which is refitted by
ourselves to ensure that the inner hole accuracy of the hydraulic pressure
valve can be controlled at 1μm.
2.
AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE has targeted operation process, can realize the personalized
customization demand for the inner hole accuracy of hydraulic pressure valve,
which can not be achieved by 95% of domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Gerrard said that since the use of AAK
hydraulic pressure valve, many end users have fallen in love with their
hydraulic products, and there are more and more inquiries than in previous
years. Presently, Gerrard orders hydraulic pressure valves from AAK 3 times a
year. The customer praised him. The owner valued him. He worked harder and
harder. Now his position in the company is getting higher and higher.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
guarantee 3 years of service life. With the high-precision AAK hydraulic valves,
his order volume soared, you can also have a small try.
The
valve spool hardness of AAK hydraulic flow valves reached 65HRC, the German
customer Felix was impressed after receiving the first batch of shipments. Last
week, he placed a reorder for 9,600 hydraulic flow valves, with a total value
of more than 60,000 US dollars, and regarded AAK as his preferred supplier for
hydraulic valve purchasing in China.
In
the hydraulic valve industry, more and more hydraulic valve manufacturers focus
on homogeneous hydraulic valves, resulting in a decline in the level of
hydraulic valve material selection and material reprocessing technology. Many
hydraulic valve manufacturers think that their valve spool hardness meets the
standard, but problems come out when they make samples or run production. The
reason why most of hydraulic valve manufacturers can not solve the hardness
problem well, mainly is: 1) without professional and systematic material
knowledge, don't know how to choose the most suitable alloy steel material. 2) In
the heat treatment of materials, most of them are led by the processing plants,
mainly because the heat treatment is outward processing, and 20% of the outward
processing is to change a place with one shot, and the hardness can not be
guaranteed at all.
Before
the first cooperation with AAK, Felix consulted no less than 30 hydraulic valve
manufacturers for the hydraulic flow valve with 65HRC valve spool hardness
within 1 month. Only 2 said that 58HRC was the limit they can achieve. As for the
other hydraulic valve manufacturers, no any feedback at all. Felix was extremely
disappointed.
When
browsing the B2B website, Felix accidentally encountered an article about AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE. The article mentioned that 30 factories could not make the
valve spool with a hardness of 65HRC, but AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE had already
achieved in mass production, which made him curious about how the AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE can be different. Felix learned that AAK has its own set of SOP for the selection
of valve spool materials. Unlike the other hydraulic valve manufacturers, who
use one material for nearly all hydraulic
valves. AAK will select the most suitable steel according to the working scene
of hydraulic valve, the medium used and the hydraulic parameters of customers,
combined with the wear resistance, linear expansion coefficient and deformation
of different steel, such as Cr12MoV, 12CrNi3A 18crniwa, GCr15 and other
high-grade tool steels.
More importantly, AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE has its own heat treatment plant, which can adopt different heat
treatment methods in quenching, carburizing and nitriding according to
different contents of steel. For example, pretreatment, quenching, cold
treatment, tempering, aging, fine processing and other secondary aging, the
aging temperature and holding time of these processes are the key. AAK can
achieve the aging temperature of 420 degrees, holding for more than 10h, and also
obtain the hardness of 65HRC or above. It is difficult for other hydraulic
valve manufacturers to have this process flow or operation technology.
Felix
knows very well that if the valve spool wants to reach the hardness index of 65HRC,
the hydraulic valve manufacturer must solve the above two key points at the
same time, and AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE is what he thinks. Felix sent us the design
drawings of hydraulic flow valves with a try attitude. During sampling period,
he asked us to adjust the parameters and proofing twice. Finally, he only
confirmed the small order of 200 hydraulic flow valves. One month after receiving
the shipments, Felix emailed us that his customers were very satisfied with AAAK
valve spools, and each valve spool was stable at the hardness index of 65HRC.
From
the delivery of the first batch of hydraulic flow valves to now, it has been only
more than 3 months. We did not expect that the quantity of the repeat order for
the hydraulic flow valves has increased by 5 times, which is undoubtedly the
best recognition of AAK hydraulic quality.
AAK
hydraulic valve has advantages and promises. Also, AAK hydraulic valve has a
service life longer than over 90% of its peers. If you need it, please give it
a try.
Some
time ago, Steven, from a Hydraulic Valve Company in UK, fell in a batch of hydraulic directional valves purchased in
Ningbo. There had some email communication between AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE and
Steven, but maybe the fate has not yet arrived, we did not cooperate until last
month this year. Steven regained his confidence because he had suffered a
waterloo and got back a key game here in AAK.
At the beginning of this year, a batch of hydraulic
directional valves purchased by Steven in Ningbo were stuck and failed during
the test run, resulting in the failure of the whole batch of equipment to start
up and run. His customer asked UK company to solve it within 30 days, otherwise
there will be a big claim. Steven informed the original hydraulic valve
manufacturer of these conditions, but the manufacturer prevaricated that it was
a problem caused during the assembly process and had no direct relationship
with them. Steven also consulted other hydraulic valve manufacturers. They either
replied that the hydraulic valve was not produced by them and could not give
the corresponding strategy, or there was no reply. Steven received serious
rebuff here and there, and feel stressed.
When Steven contacted AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, we were willing to
cooperate with him to solve this problem because we felt his trust in AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE. Through his email description, we were still not sure what the
problem is, and asked him to send us samples.
After AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE received the hydraulic directional
valve samples from Steven, we felt that the relative sliding between the middle
valve column and the valve body was not smooth. When the whole hydraulic
directional valve is disassembled, there are slight scratches on the column
surface, the valve body hole has a negative tolerance, and the valve body
column hole has plastic distortion. Further microscopic examination showed that
the surface of the material was etched badly. It is certain that the original
hydraulic valve manufacturer has problems in material selection and heat
treatment of alloy steel. Then we informed Steven of the result in a report and
attached our suggestions for this style of hydraulic directional valve.
After receiving the report, Steven seemed to see hope and
asked us to make 5 hydraulic directional valve samples for his customer to run
successfully first. After knowing the working conditions of this hydraulic
directional valve, we adjusted the material selection of alloy steel, and
increased the overall hardness of the hydraulic directional valve by 30% on the
original basis.
1 week after Steven received the samples, he informed AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE by e-mail that the hydraulic directional valve samples made by
AAK were started up smoothly as soon as they were tested on the machine. When
the new delivery date and order quantity were confirmed by his customers, he
was finally relieved. At the same time, he wanted to know how AAK would produce
each hydraulic directional valve of the same quality as these samples in mass
production.
In terms of material selection, according to the working
conditions of hydraulic valve, AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE set the material composition
requirements with computer program, and then use metallographic sample for
comparative analysis to detect the selected alloy steel. For the heat treatment
of alloy steel, the same batch of steel shall be heat treated at the same time,
without splitting batch or section. In terms of quenching and carburizing, the
carburizing gas composition of alloy steel is changed according to the aging
temperature and holding time of the process, and the carburized alloy steel is
controlled not to retain excessive austenite during heat treatment, so as to
ensure the stability of the whole alloy steel. AAK can achieve the aging
temperature of 420 ℃ and thermal
insulation of more than 10h. Basically, more than 95% of the hydraulic valve
manufacturers can not meet this process index.
After Steven got AAK's reply, he finally put down the heart
that was uneasy for more than 20 days. The owner appreciated that he solved the
difficulty on the hydraulic directional valve order within the time specified
by the customer, and gave him a week's holiday to relax.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE factory is the first choice for hydraulic
directional valve. Actually, its quality has been
recognized by Hydra Force, it is reassuring to use it.
You can also have a small try.
AAK uses
Rockwell hardness tester to check the hardness of each part of the hydraulic
valve, so that the hardness of each heat-treated alloy steel is
"exposed". Nearly 90% of domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers are
not equipped with this Rockwell hardness tester with the highest accuracy. An Italian
hydraulic valve customer, who disliked the expensive price of AAK, purchased
the high hardness hydraulic directional valves from another hydraulic valve
manufacturer but suffered loss from poor quality, he finally returned to AAK to
place an order.
Because
of the common problem of unstable heat treatment in the industry, the hardness
test of hydraulic valves with high requirements for stability is very important.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers can't grasp the details of hardness testing.
They don't have high-precision hardness testing instruments, just checking the
hardness by experience. They often put on-line production without knowing the
hardness of materials is not up to standard due to human errors.
Harvey is
a hydraulic valve purchaser from Italy. In particular, there are many inquiries
for hydraulic directional valves, and the hardness requirements for hydraulic
directional valves are particularly high, with few requirements below 65HRC.
Since last year, he has sent AAK inquiries for hydraulic directional valves
every 2 weeks, all of which are 65-68HRC hardness indicators. Strangely, there
were 10 inquiries for hydraulic directional valve, but no order was placed with
AAK. Every time we followed, the reply we almost received was "the price
is too high and will not be considered for the time being". We realized
that this is not our customer.
In June
this year, Harvey sent an inquiry for the hydraulic directional valve with 68HRC
hardness index, which is very similar to the 68HRC hydraulic directional valve
inquired last year. We didn't quote the same day and intended to give up. The
next day, he emailed again to ask whether his inquiry had been received. We
replied that the AAK price doesn't meet your goal. We won't make an offer for
the time being. Let's make friends. Harvey probably realized that AAK didn't
want to waste time, he told us the truth frankly. There was a problem with the
68HRC hardness hydraulic directional valve he purchased from another hydraulic
valve manufacturer. Strangely, the thickness measured in the shipping
inspection link was up to standard. After the customer received the shipments
of hydraulic directional valve, there were continuous complaints, all of which
were due to the instability of the hydraulic system caused by unqualified
hardness.
From his
description, I felt that there was something wrong with the testing instrument
and asked him to send samples to us for testing. He was surprised when he
learned from the other hydraulic valve manufacturer that there was no test
report for 68HRC hardness. Before placing the order, Harvey's colleague visited
the hydraulic valve manufacturer, who has its own heat treatment processing
plant, and the heat treatment testing link is also equipped with a Leeb
hardness tester to check the hardness. The price of their hydraulic directional
valve was 6% cheaper than AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE, so order was placed with this
hydraulic valve manufacturer.
Harvey
was curious about how we detected that these hydraulic directional valves did not
have a hardness of 68HRC. AAK has been engaged in the hydraulic valve industry
for so many years, wholeheartedly pursuing product quality and checking step by
step from material selection. In terms of hardness index, it not only has its
own exclusive heat treatment plant, but also has its own exclusive quenching
and tempering heat treatment process. Through the combination of quenching and
tempering at different temperatures, the hardness of materials can be greatly
improved. At the same time, the testing equipment is equipped with Rockwell
hardness tester with the highest accuracy in China. The hardness testing range
is HRC 20 ~ 70. As long as the hardness requirement is within this range, the
test error will not exceed +/- 0.1HRC, while the detection range of Leeb
hardness tester used by most hydraulic valve manufacturers is HRC 20.4-67.1. If
the hardness exceeds this range, the test data is distorted. In high precision,
we benchmarked Eaton Vickers directional hydraulic valve.
Harvey
suddenly understood and hoped that we could maintain the original quotation for
this inquiry for the hydraulic directional valve, and asked us to arrange
samples of the hydraulic directional valve within 10 days and send them to his
customers for testing. 3 days later, Harvey sent the order for the hydraulic
directional valve. He said that he recognized the product hardness of AAK
hydraulic valve very much, and would send the inquiry of 68HRC hydraulic
directional valve to AAK only in the future.
AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE has a rigid heart never compromising on quality and high-precision equipment.
You can buy at ease, use at ease, worthy of a try.
James is the purchasing director of one of our American Hydraulic
customers. They are the top 3 in the construction machinery industry in the
United States, and their market share is increasing year by year. James is also
doing well. In May last year, the MP550-HDD-18 cement delivery pump supplied by
their company to a local construction company often failed to reach the rated
value for the system pressure during use, and the oil pressure of the hydraulic
system can only reach 12MPa. After disassembling the hydraulic system, the
engineer found that the joint surface between the conical pilot valve body and
the valve seat of the hydraulic relief valve was grinded out with a circle of
uneven groove line with a depth of about 1mm for unknown reason. The hydraulic
oil flowed back to the oil tank from this groove, and the hydraulic relief
valve had no sealing function.
The customer wanted James’s company to replace the hydraulic relief valve
of the same model within 2-3 weeks. If they miss the time, the project progress
will be affected. When James purchased this hydraulic relief valve from the
original German hydraulic valve supplier again, he was told that they produce this
hydraulic relief valve no longer. If he wanted to re-produce it, it would take
35 days and modify the production process and auxiliary equipment, which would
require an additional cost of more than 30,000 US dollars. This style of
hydraulic relief valve was just purchased by James 2 years ago. When he reported
this situation to the president, the president didn't understand why he didn't
have an alternative hydraulic valve manufacturer. James realized that the president
was unhappy. When he sent the anatomical drawing of this hydraulic relief valve
to more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers, almost all said that they have
no hydraulic relief valve with such structure, James was a little flustered.
In March this year, James just purchased a batch of high-precision hydraulic
relief valves from AAK. He wanted to see if AAK had a way to solve this thorny
problem. When he sent us the pictures of this hydraulic relief valve made in
Germany, we asked him to send us the whole complete technical drawings, as well
as the use environment and working conditions. The pressure of this hydraulic
relief valve is 31.5Mpa and the flow is 200L / min, which is basically
consistent with the parameters of the hydraulic relief valve we supplied to
them before. However, there is a fatal problem that the internal structure,
appearance, shape and size are inconsistent with those of the hydraulic relief
valve they purchased in Germany, so it is difficult to install on the
transmission line.
After learning that the only way is to meet the requirements of the
transmission line at the construction site in the United States, AAK engineers
designed a new hydraulic system with two pipe joints and an oil plug according
to the diameter and outlet size of the overflow valve of the cement pump and
the working pressure, and sent the design of the new hydraulic relief valve to
James at the first time. Their engineers were surprised by this idea, and asked
us to make a sample quickly. We produced 2 samples of the new hydraulic relief
valves in 10 days. After they received the samples, the hydraulic relief valve
was installed on the cement pump. After the startup test, the whole conveying
system can be used normally.
Their customers were very satisfied with the speed of problem solving
from James' company this time, and promised that James’s company would be the
first choice for the purchase of all hydraulic system equipment, which made his
president very happy. After this waving, James said that the president valued
him more and more.
AAK hydraulic valve has high precision and creativity beyond peers. We
guarantee the quality for 3 years of service life. If you have any problems
with hydraulic valve, please contact us for a small try.

When
I got up to go to the bathroom at 1 a.m. last Monday, my wechat phone rang. It
was from Carl, the purchasing manager of Denison hydraulic pump company in the
United States. I was very surprised by this phone call. Generally, we
communicate with Carl in the form of e-mail and have never used wechat phone.
Carl firstly said sorry to disturb my rest, and asked if I could arrange a
video conference at 8:00 tomorrow morning. He needs to discuss a troublesome
problem with our technical team.
I'm concerned
that the communication on the phone will not be clear, and asked him to send me
a written email first, and then I'll reply to him. Half an hour later, a
detailed email with a schematic diagram of the hydraulic system came in. Last
week, the hydraulic pump supplied by them encountered problems with his
customer. The customer's hydraulic system has been shelved for half a year, and
now it needs to be driven. After the operator starts the hydraulic pump, there
is no pressure in the hydraulic system. The field engineer judged that there
was no flow output of the hydraulic pump, but after inspection, it was found
that the rotation direction of the motor was consistent with that of the
hydraulic pump, and the oil level, oil temperature and viscosity of the
hydraulic pump met the working conditions. The suction system of the hydraulic
pump was replaced, including the oil suction pipe and filter. After startup,
there was still no flow output. The transmission parts inside the hydraulic
pump are intact without falling off, fracture and blade jamming. A week has
passed and no reason has been found. Because the hydraulic pump is still in the
warranty period, if it cannot be solved in another week, it can only be
returned for claim. Carl asked the original supplier of each part for the hydraulic
pump and got nothing.
After
reading the email, I asked him if the hydraulic pump used a hydraulic check
valve? Carl said that the hydraulic check valve was provided by HAWE company in
the United States, but the after-sales period of the hydraulic check valve has
expired. Because AAK supplied hydraulic check valves to their company last
year, and the quality was very satisfying, although the hydraulic check valve in
this hydraulic pump is not from AAK, he wants to see if AAK technical team can
find out the reason. I said there was no problem with the 8:00 video conference
tomorrow, because the chief engineer of AAK didn't travel, but I'm not sure if we
can help.
The
next day in the video conference, their engineers showed the whole system. Our
chief engineer found that the displacement of the hydraulic pump was 8ml / R,
so he asked them to fill the hydraulic pump directly in the oil outlet
pipeline, and then start it up. The hydraulic pump still had no flow. Then asked
them to disassemble the liquid pump to see the oil stains in the inner cavity
of the oil suction pipe in the pump. As a result, there is no oil stain in the
upper half of the suction pipe in the pump and the vertical section, while
there is oil stain in the lower half. The problem should be here. The lack of
flow output of the hydraulic pump is caused by the pump's failure to suck oil
or empty. The problem lies in the hydraulic check valve at the pipe joint at
the oil outlet. It should be that the valve spool of the hydraulic check valve
is stuck. They removed the current hydraulic check valve, and replaced it with
a new hydraulic check valve, and restarted. The hydraulic pump outputs the flow
normally, but it stops working after 5 minutes. Our chief engineer said calmly
that the problem must be here. The reason for the shutdown is that the new
hydraulic check valve does not meet the current working condition. The new hydraulic check valve must be purchased
per this working condition or re-purchase the previous hydraulic check valve.
Carl
asked us to sample 2 hydraulic check valves according to their working
conditions. If they match, this hydraulic check valve will be purchased from AAK
in the future. At the same time, Carl proposed to Denison's senior management
that AAK can be the designated supplier of Denison in the hydraulic check
valve, because they admire AAK's professional ability and strong technical R
& D team. The top management is happy to accept Carl's suggestions and
appreciates Carl's way of solving the problem this time. Carl hopes that AAK
and Denison will become strategic partners and jointly build the world's
strongest manufacturer of hydraulic equipment. We are ready.
AAK
hydraulic check valve can replace the local hydraulic valve supplier of
American customer. Its quality is comparable with the international first-line
hydraulic valve brands.You can also have a small try.
Tony is a purchasing manager of Italian
Casappa company, mainly responsible for the purchasing of hydraulic pump
components. Last October, Casappa developed a new hydraulic pump and planned to
promote this new product at this year's exhibition. During the debugging, the
output pressure of the hydraulic pump can not be established several times,
which is a little troublesome, because the owner has sent all the invitations
to the exhibition to the customers and grandly introduced the functions of this
hydraulic pump. The R & D personnel checked and tested each component one
by one. It is basically certain that it is caused by the instability of the pilot operated pressure control valve.
The technical team dissected the pilot
pressure control valve and found local friction marks on one side of the hole
wall of the valve body. The diagnosis conclusion is that the main valve spool
is stuck, which should be caused by the concentricity difference between the
hole of the main valve body and the hole of the pilot pressure control valve
body. The owner asked Tony to re purchase the pilot pressure control valve that
meets the technical requirements, which must be solved within 25 days,
otherwise he will leave because the exhibition is too important. Tony contacted
the original hydraulic valve manufacturer and got a reply that due to equipment, he could not
produce high-precision pilot pressure control valves with the exactly same
concentricity. At the same time, he contacted a number of hydraulic valve
suppliers and they basically replied that they could not do such a high precision
pilot operated pressure control valve, which made Tony almost collapse.
When Tony searched the
hydraulic valve suppliers in Google, he found AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. The details
page of the hydraulic valve on AAK website made Tony feel that maybe AAK could
have a try. He emailed us firstly to ask whether the concentricity of the pilot
operated pressure control valve could be consistent. We need the detailed
drawings, working conditions and parameters of his whole hydraulic pump to
judge. After receiving all information from him, AAK technical team pondered
the whole afternoon, with more than 95% confidence, and it would take 15-20
days to complete it.
Tony said he was happy
and uneasy. He was happy that some hydraulic valve manufacturer could try this
high-precision pilot operated pressure control valve and has a high probability
of success. He was uneasy that if AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE did not succeed in
proofing, the time would be wasted. We understand his concern. We told him that
the reason why we are not sure for 100% is that there is a data that can't be
determined. If AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE failed in sampling, then he should not waste
time in Ningbo area. We suggest that he also find a hydraulic valve supplier in
Europe, so as to sample with AAK at the same time.
2 weeks later, we sent
a sample of the pilot operated pressure control valve. 4 days later, Tony sent
an email excitedly informing us that the pressure of the hydraulic pump was
completely normal after using the pilot operated pressure control valve with the
same concentricity from AAK. The owner was very happy that the exhibition would
not be affected. 5 days later, Tony sent another email to inform us that the
pilot operated pressure control valve provided by a well-known hydraulic valve company
in Germany had also been successfully tested. AAK took 15 days to proofing, and
the German hydraulic valve manufacturer took 25 days. At the same time, the
price of AAK hydraulic valve is 10-15% cheaper than that of German hydraulic
valve. He was surprised why AAK took less time to proofing and the price was
cheap, but the quality of the hydraulic valve was benchmarked with the
well-known brand in Germany.
AAK has made the most
typical improvement on the equipment. On the high-precision machine tool
imported from Switzerland, it adopts high-speed interpolation technology to
realize continuous feeding with small program segments, so as to make the
control unit of the machine tool more refined. At the same time, the
high-resolution position detection device is used to improve the position
detection accuracy, and the position servo system adopts feedforward control
and nonlinear control methods, plus with the most experienced engineers to test
the accuracy of each process, so as to ensure the consistency of the
concentricity of the pilot operated pressure control valve. Tony admires our
innovation in equipment, especially our quality benchmarking the German brand.
After some time, he privately informed me that the exhibition was a great
success, and the owner was in a great mood. Tony was not only praised by the owner,
but also upgraded to the general manager of purchasing dept. AAK pilot operated
pressure control valve has become the best choice for Casappa.
The
customer purchased from AAK said that AAK pilot operated pressure control valve
is benchmarked with the German brand. AAK valve has no leakage, 3 of 500 Global Top Enterprises in Use. You can also have
a small try.
Recently, when chatting with several brother
customers Felix and Carson, they asked me why the same model of hydraulic valve
spool, AAK has higher precision and stronger sensitivity than its peers.
This is a good question. I smiled and said:
you may not have a comprehensive understanding of AAK hydraulic valve. For all
types of hydraulic valve spools, AAK is subject to strict quality control.
Under the condition of ensuring that the spool is suitable for the service
conditions, we will select the most appropriate tool steel (40Cr, Cr12MoV,
12CrNi3A, 18crniwa and GCr15, etc.) according to the customer's parameter
requirements and service scenarios. 6 major processing processes and 6 major
parameters are used. This technology has led the industry, we are not satisfied
with these static data, but also need dynamic spool.
Since the valve spool needs to move in the
valve body, the clearance between the valve spool and the valve body should not
only ensure good sealing, but also ensure small movement resistance. Therefore,
the matching clearance between the valve spool and the valve body is the top
priority affecting the use of the valve spool. The following are the tolerances
and matching clearance dimensions of the valve spool and the valve body
produced in large quantities by AAK in the actual production process:
Diameter |
Valve body
tolerance |
Spool tolerance |
Minimum
clearance |
Maximum
clearance |
6mm |
±0.006mm |
±0.004mm |
0.0025mm |
0.0125mm |
>6-12mm |
±0.0075mm |
±0.005mm |
0.0050mm |
0.0175mm |
>12-20mm |
±0.01mm |
±0.006mm |
0.0050mm |
0.0233mm |
>20-25mm |
±0.0125mm |
±0.0075mm |
0.0125mm |
0.0325mm |
When the reciprocating or rotary valve body
is matched with the valve spool, we AAK generally use the minimum clearance,
but the specific processing parameters should also be determined according to
the customer's parameter requirements and use scenarios, so as to ensure that
the hydraulic valve does not have any leakage, valve stuck and other unexpected
working conditions.
During the processing and manufacturing of
valve spool, AAK also strictly considers the following aspects, and will check
and test each valve spool when necessary, so as to ensure the high quality and
reliability of valve spool.
1. Hydraulic power on hydraulic spool
2. Pressure and flow characteristics of
hydraulic valve spool
3. Flow coefficient of hydraulic valve spool
4.
Leakage of hydraulic valve spool
5.
Stability of hydraulic valve spool
6.
Vibration of hydraulic valve spool
7.
Cavitation of hydraulic valve spool
After listening, they admired AAK's rigid
attitude and trusted the quality of AAK hydraulic valve more. Using AAK hydraulic
valve is reassuring, so AAK has always been their preferred hydraulic valve supplier
in China.
AAK hydraulic valve sticks
to itself and high quality control. You can also have a small try.
In March this year,
the sales manager of Caterpillar received a phone call from a Spanish customer
complaining that several excavators produced by their company had small
start-up faults. The repairman judged that the hydraulic system leaked oil,
which should be caused by the leakage of the hydraulic check valve. The
customer asked them to replace the hydraulic check valve as soon as possible.
This customer accounts for 40% of Caterpillar's sales. Although it has passed
the maintenance period, they must help the customer solve the problem.
The original hydraulic
valve supplier said that for the hydraulic check valve under this working
condition, there can only be no leakage for 2-12 months. In extreme cases, it
may be less than 2 months. The customer was disappointed with such a
maintenance plan. The boss asked Mark, the purchasing manager, to find a
solution satisfying the customer. Mark contacted more than 10 hydraulic valve
manufacturers, but did not get a satisfactory reply. He boss urged him to make
a new plan twice a day.
Mark thought of AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE he had contacted before. Maybe AAK can do some help. He firstly
asked us why so many hydraulic valve manufacturers can't achieve 0 leakage for
more than 12 months for this style of hydraulic check valve? The hydraulic
check valves often use steel ball or metal cone slide valve to contact and
compress with the orifice of metal valve seat under the action of spring and
fluid pressure to prevent the reverse flow of liquid, but it is difficult to
achieve absolute seamless butt joint in the cutting of metal contact surface.
Especially under the special working condition of this customer, it is more
difficult to avoid leakage. This hydraulic valve manufacturer who has insured
for 2 months is already great.
Mark thought that AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE could not produce a hydraulic check valve with 0 leakage for
more than 1 year, and asked how long we could insure at most. AAK can produce
hydraulic check valve with 0 leakage for more than 12 months. If there is no
leakage within 1 month, and if subsequent maintenance is in place, the
hydraulic check valve can be 0 leakage for 24 months.
Mark was surprised at
our reply and thought we were joking. Let's talk about it with facts: AAK will
send the hydraulic check valve samples within 20 days, you test the hydraulic
check valve first, and we will then discuss it after the test.
After 15 days, AAK
sent the hydraulic check valve samples to Caterpillar. Their engineers
conducted internal test first, and there were no abnormalities in many tests.
Their after-sales personnel took the samples directly to the customer's
construction site for on-site installation and commissioning. It worked
continuously for 12 hours, and everything was still normal. The customer was
very satisfied with Caterpillar's after-sales service. The boss was also very
happy and asked Mark to hurry up to purchase. ark was curious how AAK achieved
the hydraulic check valve with 0 leakage for more than 12 months?
After receiving the
drawings, AAK fine tuned the structure of the hydraulic check valve in the
original design without adopting the traditional sealing design. A special soft
sealing ring is installed between the outside of the boss of the valve seat and
the end face of the valve spool. At the same time, the inner diameter of the
soft seal ring is less than the diameter of the boss, rather than the
traditional diameter more than that of the boss. When the hydraulic check valve
is closed, the soft sealing ring will deform under the action of hydraulic
pressure and compress the contact sealing surface between the metal valve spool
and the metal valve seat to achieve 100% sealing and ensure 0 leakage.
Last week, Mark sent
us an inquiry for a new hydraulic valve. Incidentally, he said that since the
Spanish customer installed their excavator with AAK hydraulic check valve,
everything is normal. The customer has been purchasing other styles of excavators
from his company. The boss is more and more appreciative of him now, and
assigned all important purchases to him.
AAK hydraulic check
valve, zero leakage, pay attention to, welcome to have a small try if you need
a new and top hydraulic valve manufacturer in Ningbo.
In July this year, Bowen,
an Australian customer, visited 5 hydraulic valve factories before and after, and
made samples of hydraulic relief
valve with ±1μm inner
hole for 3 times, but none of them reached the accuracy requirements.
AAK sent samples and met the standard for the 1st time, Bowen finally chose to cooperate with AAK.
The inner hole accuracy is not enough,
which is mainly caused by the different built-in equipment of honing machines
equipped by many hydraulic valve
manufacturers. Conventional honing machines use
diamond reamers., Because the main cutting part of the diamond reamer is at the
tool head, the tool head wears quickly. After the head is worn, it is very easy
to cause the size of the hole bottom to be small, resulting in the poor
cylindricity of the whole hole and affecting the accuracy. This is the key to
the 5% accuracy error. Many hydraulic valve manufacturers are not aware of this
key point.
Bowen, a purchaser from a hydraulic valve
company in Australia, has an inquiry for a special hydraulic relief valve,
and the inner hole accuracy must be controlled within 1μm. Bowen checked with the original hydraulic
valve supplier, and got reply that only the hydraulic valve manufacturer
equipped with high-precision honing machine is able to make the hydraulic
relief valve with 1μm inner hole accuracy. According to the equipment
configuration, Bowen has contacted with more than 10 hydraulic valve
manufacturers, determined to visit 5 hydraulic valve manufacturers, and asked 3
powerful factories to sample the hydraulic relief valve. After testing and
comparing the samples received from these 3 hydraulic valve factories, all
failed to meet the standard. Bowen asked the manufacturer with the highest
accuracy to continue to improve the proofing, and there is still ±0.1μm gap. The factory gave up and
introduced AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE to him, maybe AAK can do the
hydraulic relief valve with ±0.1μm inner
hole accuracy.
According to his hydraulic relief valve drawing,
we advised that we can send 1pc hydraulic relief valve quality sample after 10
days. 5 days after AAK successfully sent the hydraulic relief valve
sample, Bowen informed that the accuracy met the standard. He wanted to know
why so many hydraulic valve manufacturers could not achieve ±1μm inner hole hydraulic relief valve, even if
the hydraulic valve manufacturers promised to do so and they also have
high precision honing machines, but several proofing did not meet the standard.
How did AAK hydraulic valve achieve it?
Honing machine is really helpful for the machining
of high precision inner hole. Due to different equipment configuration, not
every hydraulic valve manufacturer can produce the hydraulic relief valve
with ±1μm inner hole accuracy.
Different from conventional hydraulic valve manufacturers, AAK adopts
sintered diamond tools, equipped with 15 tool position tool magazine and
automatic tool change mechanism, which can automatically change tools and add
deburring tools. At the same time, it has XY axis worktable, which can
automatically change the hole for porous work pieces.
At the same time, we have installed an online measurement system in the machine
tool to automatically detect the initial diameter of the hole. The system also
detects the hole distance, which can automatically alarm abnormalities and 100%
eliminate human errors. Bowen's doubts are completely eliminated and asked
us to do preparation for material. After he confirms the order with the
customer, he will start placing order for this hydraulic overflow valve.
The peers can not guarantee high
precision even with the same equipment, but AAK hydraulic valve has
always been the leader in precision. You can also have a small try.
Daniel is a purchaser of Liebherr branch in Germany. He is responsible
for the procurement of hydraulic components. He has done an excellent job some
time ago and has been praised by his supervisor for many times. Before the
shopping season, he wanted to relax and planned to go on vacation with his
family next week. A phone call from the boss disrupted all his plans. A major
dealer in Sweden asked for help for a excavator produced by their company
within 1 week . His engineer came to the user for routine maintenance and found
that there was oil leakage in the hydraulic system. After pressure test, it was
found that there was oil leakage in the hydraulic check valve, and 12
excavators had such faults.
Daniel hurriedly contacted the American supplier for this hydraulic check
valve, and got the reply that it was too cold in Sweden at this time. For such
high-frequency operation, even if the hydraulic check valve was replaced, it
was estimated that the hydraulic check valve would still leak oil 1 week later.
Unless more low temperature resistant sealing rings are used, this will take
time to test, but the finishing time is to be determined. Daniel was so
helpless, he had to find a new hydraulic valve supplier. Daniel asked several
local hydraulic valve manufacturers. They either didn't have time to produce or
require over 50pcs MOQ. After knowing these situations, the supervisor asked
Daniel to give the dealer a plan that can be implemented within 10 days. Daniel
had to cancel the vacation.
Daniel thought of AAK HYDRUALIC VALVE who he had contacted for inquiry
before. He emailed us to ask whether we can produce the hydraulic check valve
for the excavator, which needs to be resistant to low temperature. According to
the drawings and working conditions provided by him, we advised that it takes
20 days to customize. All our existing hydraulic check valves are not close to
this size. Daniel reiterated the hydraulic check valve needs to be low
temperature resistant, and frankly told us what they are currently
experiencing. I answered directly that the core lies in the low temperature
resistant sealing ring. Daniel felt that maybe AAK could solve this problem.
After 18 days, we sent a sample of hydraulic check valve. The test
results proved Daniel's feeling. The parameters passed the test and there was
no oil leakage at low temperature. The order for 12 hydraulic check valves was
also easily confirmed. Daniel's hanging heart can finally be put down.
Daniel asked why American hydraulic valve manufacturer needs time
"to be determined" to test, and we solved it in 18 days. Why German
hydraulic valve manufacturer is unwilling to do this small quantities, but it
is OK for AAK hydraulic valve. At the same time, the price of AAK hydraulic
valve is cheaper than that made in Germany and that made in the United States.
The zero leakage hydraulic valve not only has
strict requirements on accuracy, but also strict requirements for the sealing
ring due to different media or different scenarios. The sealing ring not only
needs to be sealed, but also needs to automatically improve its sealing effect
with the increase of the pressure of the hydraulic oil. It also needs not to
leak under the harsh working environment such as low temperature or high
temperature. 1 year ago, a Russian customer of AAK hydraulic valve put forward
the requirement of low temperature resistance. We spent 6 months, experienced 3
failures and 6 seal ring material tests, and innovated a seal ring polymerized
with polyurethane elastomer and special rubber from the perspective of friction
coefficient. Its low temperature critical point is - 45℃, and its wear resistance, oil resistance, fatigue resistance and
vibration resistance can meet high-frequency operation. It was mass produced 1
year ago.
AAK delivered 12 hydraulic check valves to his
dealer. After all installation and commissioning, they worked continuously for
2 weeks without abnormalities. The Swedish dealer was very satisfied with the
high standard after-sales service provided by Liebherr branch. Daniel was very
happy. His supervisor gave him special permission to spend more days with his
family.
AAK zero leakage hydraulic check valve was
delivered to Liebherr. You can feel at ease to have a small try.
Yesterday, I received a repeat order for a
hydraulic sequence valve from Gary. The first order of this hydraulic sequence
valve was placed 3 years ago. Before, I wondered why this hydraulic sequence
valve had not been repurchased, thinking that it had been switched back to the
United States for production. I really didn't expect to receive the repeat order
after 3 years, and the quantity was more than 3 times that before.
3 years ago, Gary’s company had a newly
designed hydraulic pump to be produced in Vietnam branch, and the pump needed
hydraulic sequence valve. If purchasing the hydraulic sequence valve in the
United States and delivering it to Vietnam, it was expected to take 3 months or
more. His boss wanted to try purchasing in China, hoping to save half the time.
According to the boss's instructions, Gary spent 3 days looking for hydraulic
valve factories, selected 5 hydraulic valve manufacturers from more than 10 as
their hydraulic sequence valve suppliers, and asked them to send reference
samples of hydraulic sequence valves to Vietnam for testing. Gary happily
reported the purchasing status to his boss, who was satisfied.
After Gary received these hydraulic
sequence valve samples, he arranged the technical department to match the
working conditions for testing, but the results were poor. The matching
clearance between the valve body and the valve spool of some hydraulic sequence
valves was small. After an additional 20% pressurization, the valve hole was
deformed and the valve spool would be stuck. All 5 hydraulic valve
manufacturers said that after additional pressurization, they were not able to
ensure the quality of hydraulic sequence valve. Time has been wasted for more
than 2 weeks. At this time, if returning back to the United States to purchase
hydraulic sequence valves, he would be scolded by his boss. Gary began to
worry.
When Gary browsed AAK website
(www.aakindustry. com), he felt that AAK hydraulic valve was some different
from the other hydraulic valve manufacturers. He emailed to inquire about the
hydraulic sequence valve and frankly told us the problems he had encountered
with Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. After several rounds of e-mail
communication and AAK technical team's analysis of his drawings, we truthfully
told him that AAK's existing hydraulic sequence valve samples could not meet
his pressurization test. It takes 2 weeks to proofing according to the drawing.
If the sample of the hydraulic sequence valve is approved and it takes 25-30
days to produce his order for the hydraulic sequence valve, Gary calculates the
time. If the sample of AAK's hydraulic sequence valve is successful, the time
saving meets the requirements of the boss. If it is not successful, it will
waste another 2 weeks. It seems that he has no choice. Somehow, Gary feels that
AAK can give him hope and hopes that we can send samples as soon as possible.
4 days after the samples of the hydraulic
sequence valve were sent, Gary e-mailed to us that the pressurization test
passed. The problems happened on the samples of the previous 5 hydraulic valve
manufacturers are now gone. At the same time, all the parameters of AAK
hydraulic sequence valve can be compared with those produced in the United
States. Gary asked us to hurry up to prepare for production and deliver on
schedule.
In order to avoid pressure deformation, AAK
adjusted the production process of the valve hole and applied the technical
method of "avoiding deformation" to the production process of the
valve hole. An experienced AAK technician who had operated for 7
years failed for 3 times before mastering this operation key point. After
Gary knew this, he said it slowly that only at this time, he really knew the
difference of AAK hydraulic valve and didn't want to waste time looking for
homogeneous hydraulic valve manufacturers.
AAK hydraulic sequence valve is benchmarked
with the original American hydraulic valve supplier, and has become the only hydraulic
valve supplier of a Russian customer. You may not be able to find a second one like
AAK in Ningbo. You can also have a small try.
At the beginning of last month, Berton sent an email
to us, with the theme of "damn hydraulic valve block", which
surprised me. I thought there was something wrong with the hydraulic valve
block purchased by Berton from AAK. After reading the email, I learned that he
purchased the hydraulic valve block from a German company. There was a leakage
problem in the two proofing, and each time the sampling modifying process was
very slow, which affected the commissioning of the whole equipment. The
technical team had complained to the boss, who was a little annoyed and asked
him to get the modified sample of the hydraulic valve block approved for the
third time within 1 month. The German factory advised that the third hydraulic
valve block sample could be solved at one time, but 1 month was not enough,
which made Berton very helpless.
Because this series of hydraulic valve blocks has
been purchased in Germany before, Berton has to wait for the revised sample
from the German factory, and find a new hydraulic valve block supplier at the
same time. He wanted to check if AAK has any good suggestions. I asked him to
send the hydraulic valve block design drawings to us, note the working
conditions, and also send the second unconfirmed hydraulic valve block samples
to AAK for comparison.
According to Berton's drawings and the samples of
the hydraulic valve block from the German factory, the finished product quality
is good and worthy of being produced by the German factory. The root cause of
the leakage is that the perpendicularity tolerance between the thread of the
hydraulic valve block and its mating surface reaches 0.08mm, which should not
be higher than 0.05mm according to the working conditions. This tolerance
dimension is difficult to control and has high requirements for the operator,
We recommend changing the system design of the hydraulic valve block. If it is successful,
samples of hydraulic valve blocks can be sent within 25 days. Berton has no
better choice but to wait passively.
5 days after sending the sample, Berton was excited to
inform that the sample of AAK's newly designed hydraulic valve block met the
system requirements of the equipment and did not leak. The accuracy and
efficiency of the hydraulic valve block were both improved compared with the
hydraulic valve block of the German factory. Berton is curious about why AAK
dares to change the design of the German factory. Even the engineers of his
technical team admire the new design of AAK hydraulic valve block.
Based on the design of the German factory, AAK
changed the whole oil circuit design. Some valve holes can be combined with the
same unit to perform a specific type of control function, which is conducive to
improving the execution efficiency of the hydraulic power system. At the same
time, the pressure regulation loop, flow control loop and power supply loop are
newly designed. The reason why AAK dares to make such changes is that we have
an efficient machining center, MIKRON machining center and AMEC sinking
drilling and milling cutter. This combined cutter can directly complete the
processing of the dimensional accuracy required by the diameter of the threaded
bottom hole and the sealing ring, and also the processing of the surface
finish. Moreover, it has central internal cooling and allows faster cutting. In
this way, man-made errors are eliminated in accuracy.
Berton said happily that he could finally ignore the
arrogance of the German factory. The boss asked him to transfer the order
directly to AAK, and the price was cheaper than that of the Germany factory.
The boss was very satisfied with Berton's idea of finding a new supplier of
hydraulic valve blocks.
AAK can not only make high-precision hydraulic valve blocks, including
different types of hydraulic valves, but also help you with design solutions.
You can try a small order.
AAK hydraulic valve
block adopts multi edge particle cutting with diamond reamer, the accuracy can
reach 0.002mm, and the surface roughness can reach Ra 0.2um, the precision is twice
that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers, and there is no iron filings.
Because the price of AAK hydraulic valve block is a little higher than that of
peers, LIEBHERR excluded AAK from the supplier list. However, 3 months later, LIEBHERR
still placed an order for the hydraulic valve block with AAK.
This morning, I
received an order for hydraulic valve block from Herta from LIEBHERR company in
Germany, which was a little unexpected. Because this is the hydraulic valve
block that AAK sent sample for 3 months ago. Since the sample was sent, there
was no news about the sample. After several follow up emails, the reply was
"unqualified". I asked about the reason why the hydraulic valve block
was unqualified, but didn't get reply. Now I can't understand why the order comes
to us 3 months later.
Herta is mainly
responsible for the procurement of hydraulic accessories of LIEBHERR. In the first
half of this year, his company needed to purchase a batch of high-precision
hydraulic valve blocks for hydraulic excavators. At that time, he selected 5
hydraulic valve factories to send samples to test the quality and conduct
assembly tests. 3 months later, after comprehensive comparison, their technical
team found that the test data of AAK hydraulic valve block was the best among
the 5 hydraulic valve manufacturers.
I asked Herta curiously
why the reply he gave us 3 months ago was "unqualified". He replied
that your quotation was unqualified and more expensive than the other 4
hydraulic valve manufacturers, so we judged AAK to be unqualified. After 3
months of testing, the technical team believes that AAK's hydraulic valve block
has the highest precision, the strongest durability and the simplest follow-up
maintenance. Although the price of AAK is a little higher than that of other
suppliers, according to the comparison of various parameters, the hydraulic
valve block of AAK can enable LIEBHERR to reduce the cost of subsequent
maintenance, so the technical department designated AAK to supply this
hydraulic valve block.
Herta asked us why
some parameters of AAK hydraulic valve block are twice better than those of peers?
The high precision of AAK hydraulic valve block mainly comes from the diamond
reamer used in AAK machining center, which is a multi edge particle cutting. In
the reaming process, the chips are hidden between the diamond particles and
thrown out via coolant flushing and high-speed rotation, so that the chip
removal in the first step is complete. Herta said that the accuracy of AAK's
hydraulic valve block is 0.002mm, while that of the other 4 hydraulic valve
manufacturers are all 0.004mm or above, and the surface roughness of AAK
hydraulic valve block can reach Ra 0 2um, and the processing diameters of the
holes tend to be the same, which is why their technical team is convinced.
AAK hydraulic valve
block has 3 advantages. You will know it after 3 months of trial. You are
welcome to try the order.
Early last month, I saw an email from Mark, the purchasing manager of
hydraulic system of Caterpillar, an old friend of ours. The subject of the
email is "I need help from AAK, I believe". After reading the email
about hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, I understood Mark's embarrassment.
A small less-known excavator designed by them at the beginning of this year
was not smooth in the commissioning process, the response of the excavation
part was slow and the power was not enough. After testing, the technical
department found that the measured value of the maximum overflow pressure was
lower than the specified value, so it was determined that there was a problem
with the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. Mark communicated with the original
hydraulic valve supplier. The supplier mentioned that the hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve was sampled according to their company's drawings, and all parameter
tests were up to standard. The supplier told the fact. He then could only
patiently communicate with the design department to see how to modify the
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve design, but the design Department said that
there was a problem with the installation of the technical team. The company's
design and technology departments prevaricate with each other and Mark are
caught in the middle, which is very embarrassing and time is also being wasted.
If the boss is angry one day, it is estimated that all 3 parties will be
criticized.
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE has always been Mark's most trusted supplier of
hydraulic valves. I asked Mark to send us the original design drawings of the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve and the working condition requirements of existing
equipment, as well as the problems and data encountered in commissioning.
3 days
later, we replied to Mark that we have a new design scheme, and we are 90% sure
that we can make the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve that meet the equipment
requirements, but it will take 2-3 weeks. On the 3rd day after receiving our sample
of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, Mark happily informed us that the
technical department tested AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, the
equipment commissioning was smooth, and the reaction and power of the
excavation part were normal. The technical department said that the large goods
of this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve can only come from AAK, and other hydraulic
valve manufacturers are unreliable.
Caterpillar designers are also curious about how AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
redesigns this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve? AAK engineering team tried 30
times to design, sampling and make adjustment to find a breakthrough. A sealing
ring groove is arranged between the oil replenishment outlet and the oil replenishment
inlet of the oil replenishment valve seat of the hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve. The oil replenishment valve seat is made into a cartridge valve body, a
sealing ring is installed between the overflow valve seat and the rear end hole
of the oil replenishment valve spool, and a spring with a set oil replenishment
pressure difference is placed. For the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve with
this structure, the excessive pressure oil can directly push the overflow valve
spool from the oil replenishment outlet and automatically relieve the pressure.
The whole overflow action is more direct and sensitive than before, and the
pressure regulation response is fast, which protects the whole pressure system
and the pressure is more stable.
After knowing the whole process, the boss praised mark, rewarded him with
an extra week's holiday, and suggested him to increase cooperation with AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE. His colleagues in the technical department and design
department also admire him for taking the initiative to solve the dilemma of the
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, and Mark's prestige in the company is
getting higher and higher.
AAK is a designated hydraulic threaded cartridge valve manufacturer of Caterpillar.
You can also have a small try.
Kate, the buyer of Terex
company, was asked by the head office last month to purchase a batch of hydraulic
pressure valves within 3 months. She vowed to the boss that it would be
completed in 2 months. As usual, Kate sent the hydraulic pressure valve inquiry
to more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers she was familiar with, including
American hydraulic valve manufacturers and Chinese hydraulic valve
manufacturers. She chose 3 factories to provide hydraulic pressure valve
samples for testing. After the test, the technical department informed that
only the hydraulic pressure valve samples provided by American manufacturer
were qualified. The trouble is that the price of the qualified hydraulic
pressure valve exceeds 40% of the company's budget price. She has no authority
to decide to use the products of this American hydraulic valve manufacturer.
After
discussion with the technical department, she learned that those unqualified
hydraulic pressure valves are mainly due to the wear or fracture of the sealing
ring after 15,000 times of impact during the durability test of the hydraulic
pressure valve, resulting in the leakage of the hydraulic pressure valve. Only
those hydraulic pressure valves that have not leaked for more than 40,000 times
are qualified. She was very depressed that the quotation of the other 3
hydraulic pressure valves was within the budget, but the quality was
unqualified. At this time, Kate realized why the company gave him 3 months to
purchase. She hurriedly sent inquiry to new hydraulic valve manufacturers, and
specially emphasized the need for hydraulic pressure valves with more than 40,000
durability tests. The trouble is that no hydraulic valve manufacturer gave her
an offer. Kate realized the difficulty of procurement. She had wasted 3 weeks.
Procurement was still in its infancy, and the technicians had been urging
progress.
After
learning about Kate's purchase status, the colleague recommended her to contact
AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE to try. When we received the hydraulic pressure valve
drawing from Kate, we first gave a quotation. She told us very frankly that the
price of AAK was 20% higher than that of other China hydraulic valve
manufacturers, but 15% cheaper than that of the United States. She needed us to
reduce the price greatly. We suggested providing the hydraulic pressure valve
samples for testing first, and then discuss the price after passing the test.
2
weeks later, Kate informed that the test was qualified and AAK hydraulic
pressure valve durability test had reached more than 40,000 times. She was
surprised why AAK passed the hydraulic pressure valve durability test, while
the other hydraulic valve manufacturers in China failed. AAK hydraulic valve
was also eliminated by customers 2 years ago because the durability test of
hydraulic pressure valve failed to meet the standard. AAK has increased
research and development on the sealing ring. After more than thousands of
tests in half a year, AAK chose to use a special PU polyurethane rubber sealing
ring from Japan to overcome this technical problem. Its wear resistance and
high pressure resistance are far better than other rubber sealing rings. The
vast majority of domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers use rubber sealing
rings, and the maximum limit of their durability test is 20,000 times.
Kate
realized that AAK was technically different from the other domestic peers, and
the price was cheaper than that of American hydraulic valve manufacturers. She
happily chose the AAK hydraulic valve with the highest cost performance.
AAK
hydraulic valve has advantages only by comparison. You can also have a small
try.
One morning in the first half of this year,
shortly after Sam arrived at the company, the boss asked him to come to his
office. He realized whether there was a complaint about the hydraulic valve. He
saw that the technical director was also in the boss's office. It turned out
that the hydraulic check valve installed on the hydraulic pump had leakage in
different proportions. These hydraulic pumps were due to ship in 20 days. The
boss asked him to purchase the qualified hydraulic check valve in 40 days, because
their customer only gave the company a 4-week extension.
The technical director informed that according to
the on-site detection, about 20% of the hydraulic check valves had leakage.
After dissection, it was found that the gap between the valve body hole and the
valve spool of these leaking hydraulic check valves was uneven, and some even
exceeded 40μm. The gap dimensions are quite different. Sam immediately
contacted the original hydraulic valve manufacturer and asked him to replenish
30% to replace those unqualified hydraulic check valves, but he was rejected.
Per the original hydraulic valve manufacturer, these hydraulic check valves
passed the inspection before delivery and the leaked hydraulic check valves
were caused by their improper installation. In the end, the manufacturer didn't
even reply to his email. Sam was angry and had to find a new supplier of
hydraulic check valve.
Sam found AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE in
Google and browsed AAK website (www.aakindustry.com), which made him see the
dawn and feel that AAK hydraulic valve is different. He emailed us inquiry
about the hydraulic check valve and truthfully informed us of the problems he
encountered with the Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer. After several rounds
of e-mail communication and integrating the drawings and operating conditions
provided by Sam, AAK promised him to offer qualified hydraulic check valve
samples within 14 days. If the samples are qualified, the 30% of quantity that he
needs can be delivered in 4 weeks.
After 14 days, Sam received the hydraulic check
valve samples. There was no leakage after installation and commissioning, and
the gap between the valve body hole and the valve spool of each hydraulic check
valve could be stable within a range and uniform in size. The technical department
told him that the standard deviation (sigma) accuracy of the clearance
dimension of AAK hydraulic check valve was more than 3 times higher than that
of the original supplier. Sam was surprised how AAK hydraulic valve was
different?
The whole line of
production equipment of AAK hydraulic valve is a high-precision machine tool
and processing center imported from Switzerland. The core materials are
imported from Germany and South Korea, ensuring the production accuracy of
valve body and valve spool. The valve spool diameter of this hydraulic check
valve is greater than 20mm, and the gap between the valve body and the valve spool
needs to be 15μm-25μm, which is an industry requirement, but AAK uses 15μm-20μm
as the hard index for production, which is 25% higher than the industry
standard. Before each batch of production, the accuracy of each axis of the
machine tool needs to be tested, including positioning accuracy, repeated
positioning accuracy and reverse positioning accuracy. After obtaining the test
data, the accuracy can be compensated. Most hydraulic valve manufacturers
ignore this link. That is why the gap dimension standard deviation (sigma) accuracy
of AAK is more than twice that of Sam's old hydraulic valve supplier.
AAK completed 30% quantity
of hydraulic check valves on schedule. Sam solved the unsuccessful procurement
without danger. The boss praised him for completing the procurement on schedule
and suggested him to find more hydraulic valve suppliers like AAK.
AAK hydraulic check valve
has guaranteed quality and after-sales service. Our quality benchmarked with
international first-line brands. You can also give it a try.
AAK uses endoscope
C50 to detect the internal burr of the hydraulic valve block, and then sprays
the burr remaining in the hydraulic valve block with high-pressure solution, so
that there is nowhere for the burr to hide. Nearly 95% of domestic hydraulic
valve manufacturers are not equipped with endoscope and ignore 100% removal of
the residual burr of the hydraulic valve block. The American customer who has
suffered a loss elsewhere chose to order from AAK again.
Most domestic hydraulic
valve manufacturers use conventional physical methods to deal with the burr of
hydraulic valve block, and check whether the burr is cleaned by experience,
especially the burr of deep hole or magnetic burr, which can hardly be cleaned.
It is common that the defective rate of hydraulic valve block exceeds the
standard due to human error.
At the beginning of
last year, we received an inquiry for hydraulic valve block from Hunter, an
American customer. We calculated the price according to his hydraulic valve
block drawings. Hunter was not satisfied with our quotation. Because the communication
was very pleasant, I wanted to make friends with hunter and gave up my
commission to adjust the price. Hunter frankly said that although the new price
of AAK hydraulic valve block meets his target price, the prices of other
hydraulic valve manufacturers are still cheaper than those of AAK. We can only
withdraw from the purchase of hydraulic valve block amicably.
If something goes unusual,
there will be problems. 2 months later, Hunter came back to us and said that he
was very willing to accept our quotation for hydraulic valve block. He informed
that there were different degrees of burrs at the internal cross holes of the
hydraulic valve block samples proofed by the original hydraulic valve manufacturer.
The hydraulic valve block samples were modified 3 times. Each time the
cartridge valve was installed and debugged, the valve spool was stuck from time
to time. The factory has also conducted commissioning for many times, and has
been unable to remove burrs for 100%. He can only give up this hydraulic valve
manufacturer and came back to AAK.
Burr must be
produced in the drilling process of hydraulic valve block, which is very
harmful to the hydraulic system. In addition to adopting appropriate treatment
process for burr removal, it is also necessary to have relevant auxiliary
testing equipment to guarantee the complete 100% removal of burr. Hunter asked
us to arrange approval samples of hydraulic valve block immediately. After 15
days, we sent the hydraulic valve block samples. On the 3rd day after Hunter
received the samples, he sent an email to inform AAK that the samples passed testing
at one time.
Hunter admired that
AAK can get the hydraulic valve block samples approved at one time that the
peer can't get approval at 3 times. At the same time, he also expressed his
curiosity about how AAK can accurately remove the burrs? Because this hydraulic
valve block has many internal cross holes and deep holes. Firstly, the accurate
position of burr in the hole must be found, and then the burr shall be removed
by high-pressure solution jet. Then, AAK has one more process than peers, using
endoscope C50 to recheck the subsequent residual burr. If there is still
residual burr, it shall be cleaned and rechecked again until it is completely eliminated.
This is the detail awareness lacked by other hydraulic valve manufacturers, and
also the reason that AAK can achieve 100% deburring.
Details make a
difference. AAK concentrates on details, strives for perfection. You can
purchase at ease, use at ease for all types of hydraulic valves produced by AAK.
On Monday afternoon, I received an email from Tony. Tony is a
purchasing manager of CASAPPA in Italian, mainly responsible for the purchasing
of hydraulic pump components, and the work has been very smooth. Last month,
they received a complaint from the largest customer that the pressure at the
outlet of the hydraulic pump sometimes rises by itself, resulting in unstable
operation of the equipment. The customer's site engineer couldn't solve it and
turned to CASAPPA for after-sales service. Although the warranty period has
expired, they still need to help customer solve the problem. Their engineers
tested various parameters of the hydraulic pump. After comprehensive analysis,
they were still uncertain about the root cause, but they suspected that the hydraulic pressure relief valve in the pump
is faulty.
The engineer asked Tony to contact the original supplier of
the hydraulic pressure relief valve and ask him to send a sample of the
hydraulic pressure relief valve for replacement and test. It is a local hydraulic valve manufacturer and
they still have samples in stock. After receiving samples and commissioning,
the engineer's suspicion was proved to be correct. After replacing the
hydraulic pressure relief valve, the hydraulic pump worked normally. Tony asked
the original hydraulic valve manufacturer to urgently replenish 30 hydraulic
pressure relief valves to solve this complaint. The manufacturer said that the
shipment has passed the two-year warranty period. At present, there are only 3
samples in stock. The remaining quantity needs to wait in production schedule
for production, and can only be delivered after 3 months. If offering this plan
to the big customer, Tony would be scolded by the boss. He thought of AAK,
because the hydraulic valve failed last year, which was also solved by AAK.
Tony established a business relationship with us last
October. Now we are also friends besides business. We often discuss the
knowledge related to hydraulic valves. His email on Monday is just to ask for help on this hydraulic pressure
relief valve. After knowing these conditions, I asked him to send us samples of
those faulty hydraulic pressure relief valves, and provide us the drawings of
this hydraulic pressure relief valve, noting those special requirements.
After receiving and disassembling the samples from Tony, we found that
the main valve spool of the hydraulic pressure relief valve was too loose and
had increased leakage, then the pressure at the oil outlet increased. The
problem should be caused by high-frequency wear or insufficient accuracy of the
original shipped hydraulic pressure relief valve. The engineer of CASAPPA asked
us to reply why it was determined that it was the problem of the valve spool?
Because in the pressure reducing control circuit, after the directional valve
works, the flow at the valve outlet becomes zero, but the pressure still
maintains the originally set pressure. In this case, the flow through the
pressure reducing port is only pilot flow. Due to the small pilot flow, which
is generally within 2L / min, the pressure reducing port of the hydraulic
pressure relief valve is basically close to the fully closed position and the
opening is very small. According to the flow continuity theorem, this part of
leakage must also flow from the damping hole of the main valve spool, that is,
the flow through the damping hole is composed of pilot flow and leakage. The
area of the damping hole and the oil pressure in the spring chamber of the main
valve remain unchanged (the oil pressure in the spring chamber is determined by
the pre compression shrinkage of the pressure regulating spring that has been
adjusted). In order to increase the flow through the damping hole, the oil
pressure in the lower chamber of the main valve will inevitably increase.
Finally, it is determined that the main valve spool of the hydraulic pressure
relief valve is too loose or the accuracy is not enough. The engineer was convinced
by our whole demonstration and suggested Tony to take AAK as their main
hydraulic valve supplier.
AAK produced 30 hydraulic pressure relief valves in 15 days and
guaranteed the quality for 3 years. Half a month later, Tony sent an email
saying that everything was normal with the hydraulic pump after using AAK
hydraulic pressure relief valve. The customer fed back his appreciation to his
boss, who was particularly satisfied with his ability to deal with the crisis
decisively and paid more and more attention to him.
AAK has been doing what peers are unwilling to do. If you have any problem
about hydraulic pressure relief valve, or about hydraulic pressure
control valve, you can also contact
us to have a small try.
Martin, a purchaser of American company
PowerTeam, sent an email last week saying that he saw on the Internet that AAK
was a hydraulic valve supplier of some European hydraulic pump companies. He
wanted to know whether the quality of AAK could match the quality of the
hydraulic valve produced in the United States he was currently using. I
directly answered that the quality of hydraulic valves in the United States
should also be in different levels, you can have a small try and compare them
with your hydraulic valves purchased in the United States.
Martin
frankly told about his current purchasing status. He needed to re-purchase a
batch of hydraulic sequence valves for hydraulic pumps. After placing an order
with the original manufacturer in the United States, the manufacturer told him
that there were not enough labor for mass production at this moment. He had to
wait for 3 months at least. The boss was not satisfied with his purchasing
arrangement and asked him to find a new supplier of hydraulic sequence valve
and complete production within 2 months. Martin is a little embarrassed because
this hydraulic sequence valve has particularly high requirements for various
accuracy. In the early stage of development 3 years ago, he contacted more than
20 hydraulic valve manufacturers, compared and tested the hydraulic sequence
valves from them, and only the samples from the local hydraulic valve
manufacturer in the United States met the requirements.
Martin
saw the information of AAK to found that it was actually the supplier of
hydraulic pumps in Europe. After browsing AAK website (www.aakindustry.com), he
felt that AAK hydraulic valve might become his supplier. According to the
drawings and working conditions of his hydraulic sequence valve, we found that
it does have high requirements for the accuracy of the hydraulic sequence
valve. I told Martin that we need 15 days to make and test samples. After the
samples of the hydraulic sequence valve pass the test, we will discuss the
order at that time.
10
days after the hydraulic sequence valve sample was sent, Martin emailed AAK
that the hydraulic sequence valve fully met the production requirements of the
existing hydraulic pump. At the same time, the engineers of PowerTeam also
applauded every detail of AAK hydraulic sequence valve sample, which was no
worse than that of the American company. In particular, some core parameters,
such as the matching surface roughness of AAK hydraulic sequence valve spool
and valve hole, can reach Ra value of 0.1 ~ 0.2μm. The surface
roughness Ra value of the outer circle of the valve spool is 0.1μm. The Ra value of the inner circular surface of the valve hole is
0.2μm. Some parameters are even higher than those of
his original American manufacturer, including 100% burr removal.
Martin
was surprised how AAK hydraulic sequence valve achieve these?
AAK
hydraulic valve has two absolute advantages and has already surpassed its
domestic counterparts. It is uncertain whether it has surpassed its American
counterparts.
1.
AAK has a high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland and
independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by itself, eliminating human errors.
2. The
independent professional R & D team cooperates with the unique R & D
technology to realize the personalized customization demand of hydraulic valve
accuracy, which can not be achieved by 95% of domestic peers.
When
Martin got the quotation of AAK hydraulic sequence valve, it was 23% cheaper
than that produced locally in the United States, but the quality was no worse
than that produced locally. AAK needed a lead time of 35 days for production,
and the whole time was also in line with Martin's re-purchasing time schedule.
After finalizing the whole order, Martin reported to the boss. The boss was
very happy that AAK hydraulic sequence valve benchmarked the American quality, and
also saved the purchasing cost. Martin told me that his boss asked him to send
samples of previously purchased hydraulic valves to AAK for quotation.
AAK
hydraulic sequence valve keeps pace with American manufacturers. Not only the
hydraulic sequence valve, our quality of hydraulic flow control valve also
convinced a Germany customer. Welcome to have a try!
When I opened the
mailbox this morning, I saw a reorder for 500 pilot hydraulic relief valves from
Jimmy. He mentioned that the pilot hydraulic relief valve designed by AAK had been
used for 2 years and without any complaints. Jimmy is a purchaser of American
company Vickers, responsible for the purchasing of hydraulic parts. 2 years ago,
his company encountered a complaint from customer for a hydraulic pump. The
customer complained that it screamed after being used for a period of time.
After dissecting, their engineer found that there was a problem with the
hydraulic relief valve in the hydraulic pump. The boss asked Jimmy to solve the
problem as soon as possible. Jimmy sent the hydraulic relief valve back to the
original supplier, but the supplier replied that the inspection result was good.
Maybe the problem happened during installation. Jimmy’s engineers tested the
samples by themselves and found that there was no problem with the hydraulic
relief valve, but there was also no problem with the installation method and
operation. Now Jimmy is depressed. The boss is pushing for status, but he has
no clue.
He contacted with several local hydraulic valve
manufacturers in the United States, and they all replied that there was no
problem on the hydraulic relief valve. One day, after browsing AAK website (www.aakindustry.com)
in Google, Jimmy sent an email asking if AAK could help analyze the reason. We
replied that it would be better for engineers to have video communication on
site
Jimmy decided to ask Vickers engineers to make a video with AAK engineers
the next morning. After more than half an hour of observation, AAK engineers
found that once the pressure oil at the inlet, outlet and control port of the hydraulic
relief valve fluctuated, it would produce a scream. We got their original
samples and drawings, as well as the working parameters of the hydraulic pump.
After 15 days, AAK
sent a sample of the pilot hydraulic relief valve. A week later, Jimmy e-mailed
us that AAK hydraulic relief valve was installed and tested on site for 24
hours, and there was no scream. Jimmy wondered why there was no scream when AAK
hydraulic relief valve was used.
AAK engineers analyze the cause from the hydraulic impact. After the
hydraulic pressure impacts the main valve spool in the hydraulic relief valve,
the pressure oil converges through the check valve, resulting in fluid impact
and fluctuation, causing the hydraulic relief valve to oscillate, resulting in
the instability of the pressure oil at the outlet of the hydraulic pump.
Because the pressure oil output by the pump itself has pulsation, the pressure
oil output by the pump will fluctuate strongly and arouse the vibration of the hydraulic
relief valve. For the natural frequencies of the two hydraulic relief valves
are the same, it causes the resonance of the relief valve and the scream
occurs. AAK engineers changed the design to replace the two hydraulic relief
valves with the same pilot hydraulic relief valves, and set the corresponding
overflow value according to the working conditions. The sample was made based
on this process idea.
After
solving the problem that bothered Jimmy for half a year, he can finally
confidently report to his boss. After listening, his boss also praised AAK
hydraulic valves and hoped that AAK can produce 50 pilot hydraulic relief
valves as soon as possible to solve the complaints from users first. With AAK
unique designed pilot hydraulic relief valve, there has been no complaint about
scream for two years. Jimmy doesn't want to find a second supplier anymore.
AAK
pilot hydraulic relief valve, the unique design of the remedy to the case,
welcome to have a small try!
Bryson
is a hydraulic customer from the UK. Recently, a batch of hydraulic cartridge
valves he temporarily purchased were in trouble. Because the parameters from
customer were not complete, he used the same model product recommended by the
hydraulic valve manufacturer instead. During testing, the flow parameters were
not equal. The rated flow of the hydraulic cartridge valve was smaller than the
working flow and could not be used normally, which wasted more than 10 days and
the delivery time was urgent. He contacted with more than 10 hydraulic valve
manufacturers. For hydraulic cartridge valves of the same model, their rated
flow setting is either smaller than the working flow or close to the working
flow of the system. Bryson was very distressed that no hydraulic cartridge
valve has a rated flow setting greater than the working flow.
Bryson
found AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. From AAK website, he felt that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE
was a little different from other hydraulic valve manufacturers. With a try
attitude, Bryson actively contacted us and sent us the product picture and
product model of this hydraulic cartridge valve. He just emphasized that the
rated flow must be greater than the working flow and asked us to recommend the
hydraulic cartridge valve of the same model, there was no any parameter
information. After careful comparison, AAK engineers sent pictures and drawings
of a hydraulic cartridge valve of the same model. Bryson asked us to send the
hydraulic cartridge valve samples as soon as possible.
On
the 3rd day after receiving the hydraulic cartridge valve sample, Bryson
emailed to inform that the rated flow of AAK hydraulic cartridge valve can
really meet the normal operation of their current hydraulic system. Bryson
expressed his curiosity that the hydraulic cartridge valve model recommended by
AAK is consistent with that recommended by other manufacturers. How can there
be such a big difference in the rated flow setting?
For
the selection of flow specifications of hydraulic valves, the settings of each
factory are different. If the rated flow of the valve is close to the working
flow of the system, this situation is the most economical and cost-effective,
and it is also the first choice of nearly 90% of hydraulic valve manufacturers.
But there may be a problem, once the working flow in the hydraulic system
exceeds the rated flow, it will cause hydraulic clamping and affect the hydraulic
power. It will also have an adverse impact on the hydraulic system of the
valve. To be safe, when all cartridge valves are produced, AAK will give priority
to the maximum flow that may pass through the circuit where the hydraulic valve
is located, and the setting of rated flow is greater than the maximum flow of
operation, so as to ensure the normal operation of whole system, which is also
the reason why most customers prefer AAK.
After
knowing this information, Bryson is more convinced that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE is different
from other hydraulic valve manufacturers. It has been more than 3 months since we
shipped the last goods to Bryson. Today, 200 hydraulic cartridge valves are
re-ordered. Bryson told me that since AAK hydraulic cartridge valve was used,
there was no hydraulic clamping problem in the hydraulic system. Their sales
increased by 30% compared with the same period. The boss was very satisfied with
his procurement work.
The
rated flow setting of AAK hydraulic valve meets the flow requirements of each
system. Welcome to try an order!
At the beginning of this year, CATERPILLAR
received an order from African customer for excavators with a delivery time of
2 months, which means that all accessories must be in place within 1 month,
including 600 hydraulic cartridge valves. The production time for the factory
is a little more than 2 weeks. The purchaser Peter sent the order information
of the hydraulic cartridge valve to all the hydraulic valve manufacturers he
contacted before at the first time. More than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers said
that they could not complete the order of the hydraulic cartridge valve in such
a short time, and it would take at least 3 - 4 weeks. His supervisor was not
satisfied with this delivery time and asked him to find a new hydraulic valve
manufacturer. After the email was sent, there was basically no sound. Peter was
very helpless and worried.
Peter asked Mark for help. Mark emailed AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE to ask if AAK could produce 600 hydraulic cartridge valves in 2
weeks and CC Peter, and joking at the end of the email that if AAK HYDRAULIC
VALVE could not complete the hydraulic cartridge valve order, then there is no
need to waste time on looking for a new hydraulic valve manufacturer.
According to the drawings they sent, AAK
technical department found that this was very close to the hydraulic cartridge
valve supplied to a Russian customer last year, so the time in the early stage
of the production of the hydraulic cartridge valve was saved. After the price
of the hydraulic cartridge valve was approved, the process data could be
configured on the computer on the same day and the production could be carried
out the next day.
2 weeks later, 600 hydraulic cartridge valves
were delivered on time, which was the first of all the accessories purchased by
Peter to arrive at the company's warehouse. Peter didn't expect that the
hydraulic cartridge valve he was most worried about was the first to be
completed.
Peter appreciated the advice from Mark and was
also surprised that AAK could complete this in 2 weeks, while his previous
hydraulic valve suppliers needed 3-4 weeks. Mark told Peter:
1.
AAK
is his most trusted hydraulic valve manufacturer. AAK can surprise him every
time when the hydraulic valve order is urgent.
2.
AAK has a large amount of data storage and
clear classification. For hydraulic valves with relevant data, they can use the
most advanced UG / SOLIDWORK software and finite element analysis method to
configure process data in 2 hours, which is 3-6 times faster than that of other
suppliers.
3.
AAK
is equipped with advanced machine tools imported from Swiss, coupled with their
own modified fixtures, the production speed is accelerated and man-made errors
are avoided at the same time.
After listening to the introduction from Mark,
Peter realized that only a good hydraulic valve supplier can make his purchasing
smooth.
CATERPILLAR successfully completed this urgent
order. The boss was very happy when he heard the news. For Peter, who was the
first to complete the purchasing, the boss affirmed his purchasing ability and
praised him at the meeting. Mark told me privately that Peter was very happy
because his boss gave him a promotion because of his excellent performance this
time.
AAK hydraulic cartridge valve has reliable
quality and guaranteed delivery date. We are a manufacturer good at and focused
on hydraulic cartridge valves only. Welcome to have a small try!
During
Power transmission and control technology exhibition in Shanghai last year (PTC
Asia), Italian ATOS company asked Richard to find a qualified hydraulic valve
block supplier from Chinese hydraulic valve block manufacturers through the
exhibition and supply for the branch in Malaysia. He spent a whole day at the
exhibition. He went into almost every booth of Chinese hydraulic valve block
manufacturers and selected more than 20 Chinese hydraulic valve block
manufacturers. He communicated with us AAK for more than half an hour, and took
some data with him. When he left, he said that AAK was the Chinese hydraulic
valve block manufacturer he spent the most time today. After the exhibition, he
would test samples of AAK hydraulic valve block. He would select 6 hydraulic
valve block manufacturers from the more than 20 Chinese hydraulic valve block
manufacturers he found.
1 week later, Richard
sent us the sample drawings and working condition requirements of the hydraulic
valve block. This hydraulic pump of ATOS should not only meet the international
standards of ISO6020 and 6022, but also have a peak pressure of 450bar. At the
same time, it has accuracy requirements for all surfaces of the hydraulic valve
block.
2 weeks later, Richard
received hydraulic valve block samples from 6 Chinese hydraulic valve block manufacturers.
In general, there will be news within 2 weeks after the sample is sent. We asked
Richard for feedback but just got reply of waiting for results. We thought it to
be no results any more. 1 month later, Richard emailed that the chief engineer
of the Malaysian branch advised that 3 of the 6 Chinese hydraulic valve block
manufacturers met the requirements, but the accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve
block was much higher than that of the other 2 Chinese hydraulic valve block
manufacturers. AAK reassured them.
The surface roughness
of AAK hydraulic valve block flange reached Ra0 3, which is 30% more accurate
than the other 2 Chinese hydraulic valve block manufacturers. At the same time,
the perpendicularity between the screw hole of the pipe joint and its external
fitting surface is Grade 8. The roughness of the mounting hole is Ra0 5, which
is also 30% more accurate than the other 2 Chinese hydraulic valve block manufacturers.
The surface roughness of O-ring groove is Ra1 5, while the other Chinese
hydraulic valve block manufacturers are Ra5.0-6.5. These data of AAK have been
benchmarked with their old hydraulic valve block suppliers in Germany. Richard
quickly made a report to the boss according to AAK quotation and production
time. The accuracy of the hydraulic valve block is comparable with that of the
original supplier, but the price is 20% cheaper, and the lead time is 30-40%
shorter.
Richard
wondered why among so many Chinese hydraulic valve block manufacturers, only AAK
benchmarked the German factory?
Before
processing, AAK uses German COMET flaw detector to detect the blank of
hydraulic valve block to ensure that the internal structure of the hydraulic valve
block is dense and free of interlayer, trachoma and other defects. This step is
generally ignored by other manufacturers. Then select the composite tool for
processing, and combine two or more similar or different hole processing tools
into one special tool. One tool can process the threaded bottom hole, 45°, 15°,
R0.1 chamfering and external counterbore at the same time, and it can complete
multiple processes such as drilling, expanding, reaming, spot facing and boring
in the process of one machining. We don't know whether there is a second
manufacturer mastering these technical essentials, maybe, maybe not.
The
boss was surprised that Richard found such a Chinese hydraulic valve block
manufacturer and asked him to test an order for 500 hydraulic valve blocks.
Richard asked AAK to guarantee on time delivery. The boss said that if it went
well, he would be given a promotion and a raise.
AAK is a trusted hydraulic valve block manufacturer in China. Welcome to
contact us for cooperation.
Chapman comes from a hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company in Italy. He has been in the company for 3 years and is
highly regarded by his boss. However, the hydraulic pilot relief valves purchased
at the beginning of the year has been in a big trouble, which makes his boss
more and more disappointed with him. They sold a batch of hydraulic power
units, and there was squeal or vibration. They judged that it was caused by the
abnormality of the hydraulic pilot relief valve. However, when they tested the
hydraulic pilot relief valve separately, the parameters met the standard, and
no abnormality was found. In a week, Chapman contacted different hydraulic
valve manufacturers online and offline, but it was fruitless. The original manufacturer
of the hydraulic pilot relief valve could not provide constructive suggestions.
The boss is urging the after-sales plan. Chapman has not found the root cause
of the equipment howling yet and has a big headache.
Chapman tried to source Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers
on Google. He was surprised that AAK's natural ranking in Google actually
ranked on the home page. He left a message to ask if AAK could solve the squeal
of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve. I didn't answer yes or no, but
only sent him two links about the squeal solution of the hydraulic valves. AAK
has solved the squeal of the hydraulic relief valves for 2 customers. 10
minutes later, Chapman sent the drawings of the hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve and the product pictures of the original manufacturer. Our engineer asked
him to separate the hydraulic relief valve into two halves along the axis of
symmetry, with partial drawing pictures.
The next day, I told him that it was not difficult
to stop whistling, it is better to make samples directly. After 50 days, AAK
sent 40 samples of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves for him to replace the
ones on the equipment complained by customers. Last week, Chapman sent a PO for
360 hydraulic pilot operated relief valves, and told that it had been 6 months
since AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valves have been used on the
equipment. There was no customer complaint about squeal or vibration, and the
customer was satisfied. His boss asked him to replace all the original
hydraulic pilot operated relief valves and only choose AAK.
Different
hydraulic relief valves have different causes of squeal, it needs a case by case analysis. Our engineer found that
the dynamic performance of this hydraulic relief valve was not very smooth, so he
set dynamic damping in its valve spool cavity. This damping and spring cavity
constitute a first-order inertial link. The turning frequency is higher than
the natural frequency of the second-order oscillating link of the valve spool,
which can form an inter stage dynamic pressure feedback, improve the dynamic
process, and effectively reduce the vibration of the dynamic process. The
greater the vibration, the stronger the damping effect.
AAK
hydraulic pilot operated cartridge relief valve, no squeal, no vibration, you
can also have a small try!
Donald,
a hydraulic valve customer from the United States, recently had an order for
hydraulic valve sleeve parts with an old supplier. It took more than 30 days to
adjust the approval sample of hydraulic valve sleeve for many times. The taper
of hydraulic valve sleeve always failed to meet the customer requirement of
0.3-0.5μm. The manufacturer can only give up the order, but this wastes
Donald's time. The trouble is that the customer is still urging the progress of
the modification of the hydraulic valve sleeve. Donald consulted more than 30
hydraulic valve manufacturers online, but none of them can guarantee that the
taper could reach 0.3-0.5μm. Only 2 manufacturers indicated that 1-2μm is the
limit that they can reach. Donald plans to give up this hydraulic valve sleeve
order, but he doesn't know how to talk to the customer.
While
Donald was worried, his colleague Smith gave him the contact information of AAK
HYDRAULIC VALVE. Smith had inquired about the hydraulic valve with AAK before.
Smith directly emailed us the inquiry requirements and the drawings of the
hydraulic valve sleeve, and CC Donald. He asked us to communicate with Donald directly
to see how to solve the taper requirements of the hydraulic valve sleeve.
After
our technical department had a meeting, they found that it was really a bit tricky.
At present, they are not sure to tell the specific accuracy of the taper of the
hydraulic valve sleeve. Except for the taper of the hydraulic valve sleeve, the
straightness and roundness can fully meet the requirements. We can study the
taper of the hydraulic valve sleeve while proofing. However, the specific
parameters still need to be determined until the final samples come out.
With
a try attitude, Donald asked us to start sampling the same day. A week later,
we sent out the samples of the hydraulic valve sleeve. A few days later, Donald
asked by email if we could try again to improve the taper accuracy of our hydraulic
valve sleeve from 0.8-1.2μm to 0.3-0.5μm to meet the customer requirement. AAK
technical department made modification and adjustment for 3 days and 2 nights,
and sent the modified sample of hydraulic valve sleeve on the 4th day. Donald
soon informed that the parameters of the second hydraulic valve sleeve sample
of AAK met the requirements. Donald is curious that more than 30 hydraulic valve
manufacturers can't achieve the taper accuracy of hydraulic valve sleeve. How
can AAK achieve it by making samples only in two times?
As
a precision part, the precision of hydraulic valve sleeve is guaranteed by
operators and equipment, especially precision grinding is very important.
For
most hydraulic valve manufacturers, the length of the grinder they used is
basically an extended grinder with a hole length of 120%. Although it can
repair and maintain the hole straightness, the accuracy of the hydraulic valve
sleeve can only be controlled at 1-2μm maximum. 3 years ago, AAK adopted a
grinder with a length of about 90% of the hole length, which can reach 0.5μm
taper, but not stable. The taper can only be improved to about 0.5μm until the
cylindrical grinder is explored to replace the extended grinder. Our proofing
master has been groping on the machine for more than 12 years. He has worked
out the process step by step and constantly corrected the operation method to
obtain the fixed process, so as to ensure the 0.3-0.5μm accuracy high
requirements of the hydraulic valve sleeve.
AAK
hydraulic valve has been pondering precision and never stopped. You can also
have a small try.
When I opened the mailbox this morning, I saw an email from Bruce, which
should be a re-order for the hydraulic relief valve, because he asked about the
durability of AAK hydraulic relief valve spool last week. Opening the e-mail, it
is indeed the need for purchasing a large number of 420 hydraulic relief valves,
and requiring 3 years of quality guarantee.
Bruce is a purchaser of Konecranes in Finland. 3 years ago, a customer of
his company complained that the crane was easy to depressurize during work,
resulting in the inability of the crane to bear the force. Especially after the
working temperature reaches 55 ° C, the pressure cannot go up. Field engineers
believe that this is a problem of the hydraulic system, such as low pressure
regulation of the hydraulic relief valve, wear of the hydraulic system, or oil
pollution. No abnormality was found after inspection. Finally, it was
determined that the fault occurred on the hydraulic relief valve. After
disassembling the hydraulic relief valve, it was found that the cone valve spool
was worn, affecting the sealing of the hydraulic system, so the oil pressure
could not rise. The customer does not understand why the valve spool of this
hydraulic relief valve is worn after less than 2 years of use. The customer
requested to replace with a batch of hydraulic relief valves with durability of
more than 3 years and use them on these 12 faulty cranes.
At that time, Bruce contacted more than 10 hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers and got reply that the warranty could not be achieved for 3 years.
Some hydraulic valve manufacturers replied that they only have 50% confidence.
This result embarrassed Bruce. The customer requirements for the hydraulic
relief valve could not be implemented, how he should explain to the boss.
I received message from Bruce on the company website of AAK (www.aakindusrty.
Com): "can AAK really provide a 3-year warranty hydraulic relief valve? I
replied directly: just give it a try then you will know. I can't make money
with the trial orders of several samples, and you can't lose money. Maybe Bruce
was stimulated and sent us the test order the next day for 4 hydraulic relief
valves. Bruce also frankly told AAK that two other hydraulic valve
manufacturers would also try the order at the same time. Their plan is that
each factory will be tested for 4 samples, with a total of 12 hydraulic relief
valves to meet the urgent needs of customer first.
About 2 years after the samples were sent, we received email from Bruce again
for another trial order of 8 hydraulic relief valves. I felt strange and thought
that they actually didn't have big quantity order for hydraulic valves. Until
last week, from his email, we learnt that they had tested the hydraulic relief
valves provided by AAK for 3 years. Indeed, 3 years later, AAK hydraulic relief
valves still worked normally, and the hydraulic relief valves provided by the
other two manufacturers had faults in less than 2 years.
According to the working conditions, we understand that the core of durability
of the hydraulic relief valve from Bruce is the valve spool, so we use the
bearing steel imported from Korea and use our brains in heat treatment. After
hot rolling, the steel is spheroidized and annealed, and then cold drawn. The
processed bearing steel has high hardness, high wear resistance and
hardenability. It is difficult to find other steels to benchmark it. Wear
resistance for 3 years is certain, and maybe there is no problem for 5 years.
AAK hydraulic relief valve,
impressed Bruce with its high durability. If you also encountered a hydraulic
relief valve failure, just contact us to give it a try!
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve is made of 100Cr2
bearing steel, with high hardness and high wear resistance. It also adopts distinctive
heat treatment process, to ensure that the hydraulic valve has no cavitation.
It takes only 2 weeks to solve the customer complaint and helps Erich out of the
dilemma.
Erich has been doing well in Linde company for
several years. Recently, he was under great pressure due to a complaint. A
hydraulic pump produced by Linde company went on strike after 8 months of use.
The customer complained directly to the boss, who asked the after-sales
department to find out the cause and solve it immediately. After inspection,
the engineer found that mechanical damage had occurred on the metal surface of
the pump, and the surface of the damage showed sponge like small holes, which
should be caused by the hydraulic impact formed by the internal hydraulic
system. At the same time, it was found that the hydraulic pressure control
valve used in the system was the most serious, and no problems were found in
other components. It was basically determined that the poor cavitation resistance
of the hydraulic pressure control valve led to the strike. The boss asked
Erich, who was responsible for the purchase of hydraulic pressure control
valves, to re purchase hydraulic pressure control valves for these inoperable
pumps within 20 days, to make sure no cavitation.
Erich contacted the original supplier of hydraulic pressure control valve
and informed him of the whole situation. The original supplier mentioned that
before production, Erich didn't inform the current working condition. To meet this
working condition, materials must be customized, which would not be allowed by
the time, because it would take at least 40 days. Erich also contacted a number
of hydraulic valve manufacturers and got the replies that they either could not
meet the quality requirements or the time would not be enough. This is
troublesome. It's too late for the 20 days of time frame given by the boss.
Erich thought of AAK hydraulic valve, because he had a hydraulic pressure
control valve sampled here last year, but didn't have any further contact due
to AAK quotation was high. Erich asked by email whether AAK can solve the
cavitation of hydraulic pressure control valve. According to the cavitation
picture of the hydraulic pressure control valve provided by Erich and verifying
the hydraulic working conditions, we replied that the materials used for this
hydraulic pressure control valve need to be treated. However, AAK has
inventory, because an American customer purchased similar hydraulic pressure
control valves last month, we can send 4 samples of hydraulic pressure control
valves within 14 days.
After Erich received the samples of hydraulic
pressure control valve, their engineers installed it for debugging and it can
work normally. Erich asked us to prepare materials quickly. His boss asked to
replace all the hydraulic pressure control valves in this batch to avoid
further complaints from customers. At the same time, he asked us to ensure that
the mass production should be stable and there should be no cavitation.
The most important factor to avoid cavitation
is the material selection of steel and the heat treatment of steel. According
to the customer hydraulic working conditions, A AK
selects 100Cr2 bearing steel and adopts carbonitriding heat treatment process.
It is carburized at high temperature of 820-830 ℃ for 13 hours, then oil quenched, - 60 ℃ to - 70 ℃ cryogenic treatment and 150 ℃ to 160 ℃ tempering treatment. The whole
molecular structure of the steel is uniform and the hardness can reach HRC68.
After such heat treatment, the comprehensive properties are very stable,
uniform hardness and good wear resistance. Wear resistance and high contact
fatigue strength ensure no cavitation.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve, no
cavitation, has the stability admired by customers, you
can also give it a try!
AAK
hydraulic directional control valve, which has been used for 2 years, is free
of rust and corrosion. It stands out from 3 hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Joseph finally received a large order for 1000 hydraulic directional control
valves from customer.
Joseph is the purchasing manager of a hydraulic pump company in Italy. Two
years ago, the company received a test order for a special chemical hydraulic
pump, which needs a hydraulic direction control valve. The customer requires
that after 2 years, if the hydraulic directional control valve is free of rust
and corrosion, it will have the opportunity to obtain a large order. The boss
asked Joseph to find a very professional hydraulic valve manufacturer.
Joseph knew that
relying only on the existing hydraulic valve suppliers is not enough to
guarantee the quality. He checked with all the hydraulic valve manufacturers he
had contacted before and the new ones searched online, and selected 16
hydraulic valve factories, including AAK Hydraulic Valve. He asked all hydraulic
valve manufacturers to provide 2 samples of hydraulic directional control
valves according to the drawing requirements of the customer for testing at their
headquarters.
According to the post
analysis to the drawing of hydraulic directional control valve from Joseph, we
found that there is no problem to meet the accuracy, sensitivity and durability
of this hydraulic directional control valve, except that the finish of the
outer surface of the hydraulic directional control valve must be free of abnormality,
rust and corrosion after 2 years of use, which is too uncertain.
We didn't receive email
from Joseph until 15 days after we sent out the hydraulic directional control
valve samples. According to their simulation test, only the hydraulic
directional control valves from 3 factories can be approved to send samples to
their customer. It would take 2 years for AAK to know if we can get the order
of hydraulic directional control valve. At that time, we were very surprised
that there were such strange customers.
We almost forgot the test order of this hydraulic
directional control valve 2 years ago. Last week, Joseph sent an email asking
about the production time and new price of 1000 hydraulic directional control
valves, and told us that the surface of the hydraulic directional control
valves from other two hydraulic valve manufacturers began to have scratches,
corrosion, fading and rust after more than a year of use, only the surface
gloss of AAK hydraulic direction control valve does not change.
In fact, when we sent out the hydraulic
directional control valve samples, we were not 100% sure to meet this special
requirement, because we used a new process to proofing. We know that the
conventional nickel plating, chromium plating, zinc plating, blackening and
other processes basically can not keep the same appearance after 2 years of use.
We adopted electroless nickel plating. The principle of this process is to
generate a coating on the metal surface by solution chemical reduction
reaction, and the coating is amorphous. After treatment, the surface of the
metal is smooth, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, and the coating film
has few pores and uniform thickness. At the same time, the hardness of the heat
treatment can reach HRC70.
After
confirming the order, Joseph privately reminded us several times that the
surface finish treatment of large goods should be careful. His boss said that after
this order was shipped smoothly, there would be more and more inquiries later,
and his salary was raised by 2 levels.
AAK hydraulic directional control valve is rust free
and corrosion free. It is still the same as the new one after being used for 2
years. Welcome to have a small try!
Erdmann has been a purchaser of German HAWE company
for 5 or 6 years and has been doing very well. Last month, the company had a
special hydraulic threaded cartridge valve to purchase. Because it is to be used
in the Arctic region, the corrosion resistance of hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve needs to be very high. The boss asked him to identify the suppliers and approve
the samples within 2 months. Erdmann felt that it could be completed within 20
days. He sent the drawings of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves to the
original hydraulic valve manufacturers. Only 2 weeks later, he received samples
of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves from one factory. The surface gloss of
these samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves was quite good. The
company tested them on the exploration drilling machine and delivered it quickly
to the customer.
3 months later, the customer complained that the
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve on the hydraulic pump was seriously
corroded, some threads were stuck, the equipment could not be started, and the test
run was unsuccessful. The boss thought that Erdmann was careless and ignored
the use scene of the Arctic region. The boss again asked him to make new
samples and do salt spray test inside the company. Actually, Erdmann emphasized
that the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is to be used in the Arctic region.
The original supplier said that their hydraulic threaded cartridge valves have
good gloss and corrosion resistance, and can be used in the Arctic region.
Erdmann communicated with the original hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve supplier again, and the reply was that most hydraulic
valve manufacturers just adopt the zinc plating process, and he used the nickel
plating process which is the highest level of corrosion resistance. Erdmann
realized the difficulty of corrosion resistance in the Arctic regions. Erdmann
emailed more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers who had been contacted
before, emphasizing that the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve must be in the
highly corrosive environment in the Arctic region, and the service life shall
not be less than 9 months. Only 3 hydraulic valve manufacturers said they could
have a try, but there was no response from other manufacturers. Erdmann was a
little flustered.
Erdmann saw AAK hydraulic valve on Google, who supplied
to hydraulic pump company in Russia. He felt that AAK might give him a glimmer
of hope. He emailed us to ask if we can produce hydraulic threaded cartridge
valves to be used in Arctic regions. We directly replied that the components of
the valve should be treated by special electroplating process in order to meet
the condition in the Arctic regions. After 20 days, AAK sent samples according
to his hydraulic threaded cartridge valve drawings. HAWE company conducted salt
spray test on samples from all 4 manufacturers, with the corrosion condition twice
that of Arctic regions.
More than 2 months later, Erdmann
informed us that AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve had no red rust after
more than 1500 hours of salt spray test. At the same time, the company's
engineers determined that AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve had no problem
to be used in the Arctic regions for 1 year. While the samples from other
manufacturers began to produce red rust in more than 120 hours, and there were
white corrosion products on the coating surface.
Erdmann hesitated to report to his
boss because the quotation of AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is 30%
higher than that of other suppliers. The surface electroplating process of AAK
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is zinc nickel alloy coating, which has high
requirements for steel heat treatment. It may be difficult to find a second
factory in Ningbo who can go through both of these two processes smoothly. In
addition, the process cost is more than 5 times higher, but the corrosion
resistance is more than 10 times higher than the general zinc plating and
nickel plating process. With these data, the communicated between Erdmann with
the boss is very efficient. The boss mentioned that for all those valves with
high standard and high working conditions, just to choose AAK hydraulic valves.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve will not corrode in the Arctic regions even after being used for 1 year.
Welcome to have a small try!
Brooke is the purchasing manager of the American company Vickers and has been working with AAK for more than 6 years. One morning last month, he emailed us that his job was finally saved. I was surprised how a veteran suddenly said that he had finally "saved his job". In private, I learned that it was because he had some disagreements with his boss and quarreled. The boss almost let him go. Because his boss is not satisfied with the price of AAK, sometimes the price of AAK for the same hydraulic valve will be more than 20% higher than that of other Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. At the cost meeting last month, the boss proposed to replace the Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer, but Brooke insisted that AAK is the most cost-effective Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer, so it is not recommended to replace it. On the contrary, he can only leave.
The year before last, the boss went to Shanghai PTC exhibition with him to develop suitable Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers for cooperation. They did get acquainted with many Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers at the exhibition, but after more than 2 years of testing samples and running in, Brooke found that there is really no second Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer that can compare with AAK in all aspects. AAK is not only reliable, but also has temperature, whether it is cooperation, delivery, quality, after-sales etc.
Brooke remembers the support and help from AAK hydraulic valve over the years. On one occasion, due to the urgent delivery time of a South African customer, Brooke could not find a factory with stock at that time and could only customize it. Most Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers said that the lead time from sampling to delivery should be at least 2 months. AAK stopped a production line and asked technicians to work overtime to speed up the production. Samples can be produced in 30 days and shipped in 45 days. It is precisely because of the temperature of AAK that Vickers has the opportunity to cooperate with this big customer in South Africa. Every time, AAK products can be successful at one time during testing. They are the best among all Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers in terms of accuracy, concentricity, fatigue resistance and durability.
Brooke's deepest memory is that one time, the South African customer mentioned that the hydraulic valve used for more than 2 years often stuck during work and asked for replacement. After receiving the news, AAK immediately told Brooke to ask the customer to return the goods. After inspection, it turned out that the hydraulic oil used by the South African customer was not clean and caused the problem. Later, AAK disassembled and cleaned the valve and sent it again, and asked the customer to change the hydraulic oil. Until now, no problem has been mentioned. If this happened to other Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, their reply must be that this has passed the warranty period.
After listening to Brooke's analysis, the boss instantly resonated. It is indeed too difficult to find another Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer like AAK, who can always put the interests of customers at the first place. Sometimes, even if it is 20% higher, it is still worthy. At the same time, it was made clear at the meeting that AAK would be the first choice for them among Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers in the future.
AAK is the most reliable hydraulic valve manufacturer in China. It can solve difficulties for customers at any time. Welcome to give it a try!
The opening and closing characteristics can reach
95% opening rate and 90% closing rate, the operating pressure swing is not
greater than ± 0.1MPa, and the design service life is more than 1 million
times. For this high precision, high stability and high durability 3-high hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve, Jacob is surprised that the AAK hydraulic valve is
successful in one-time sample, while most hydraulic valve manufacturers are not
able to do at all.
Jacob is a purchaser of Intermot
company in Italy. The company has a newly developed hydraulic motor, which
needs to use hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. This motor is a high-frequency
operation and has strict requirements for various parameters, especially for
the parameters of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, which has 3 high
requirements of high accuracy, high stability and high durability. The boss
asked Jacob to complete the procurement of this batch of hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves within 60 days. He selected 4 from the original hydraulic
valve suppliers to make samples. After installation, it was found that the
opening and closing characteristics of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves can
only reach 90% opening rate and 85% closing rate, which is 5% lower than the
parameter requirements. Even the operating pressure swing of some hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves exceeds 0.2MPa. In the last step testing, only 2 or 3
samples can be intact after 1 million durability tests. If all three
requirements should be reached at the same time, nearly none of the samples
meet the standard. Due to the limitation of equipment, the original
manufacturer said it was difficult to improve significantly. Jacob learned
about AAK hydraulic valve under the introduction of its peers. After browsing AAK
website (www.aakindustry. com), he felt that the AAK hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve might help him.
After receiving the parameter
requirements and drawings of his hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, we found
that the requirements of this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve are not
simple, but our technical team needs to chew this hard bone and gave reply to
Jacob that if it goes well, the samples of the hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve can be sent within 20 days. On the contrary, it needs more time for proofing.
Jacob hopes that AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve sample will be
successful, which just meets the delivery time required by the boss. After 15
days, AAK sent the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve samples successfully.
After installation and test by the engineer, all parameters of the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves are qualified and meet the 3 high requirements of
high accuracy, high stability and high durability. After 25 days, the shipment
of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve was delivered as scheduled.
The boss knew a series of frustrations that Jacob encountered
during this purchasing, and praised the 3 high standards of AAK hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve, not only because the quality of AAK hydraulic valve
is reliable, but also because of credit. Jacob wondered why AAK hydraulic valve
can achieve a 3-high hydraulic threaded cartridge valve with only one-time
sample, while most hydraulic valve manufacturers are helpless.
For the 3-high hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, AAK has Mikron GF
machining center imported from Switzerland. It has advanced thermal stability,
and the high precision is still stable in the long-time machining process. The Mikron
GF unique spindle omnidirectional anti-collision protection technology (MSP)
can prevent the spindle from collision failure, and integrate automatic
solutions to ensure the stability of precision parts. There are also experienced
technicians who have been in our factory for more than 10 years. Sometimes they
can judge the production status by listening to the sound of the machine only,
and each production link of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is engraved
in their mind. The craftsman hand will produce good products, which is the
strength of AAK. Integrity, sincerity, trust and credit are the way of
hydraulic valves that AAK has always adhered to.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve, strength to speak, sincerity to do things, welcome a small try!
Bauer is a purchaser of American PowerTeam company. In
recent years, the purchasing of hydraulic valves has been smooth. Last October,
PowerTeam received a test order for a hydraulic power unit from a South African
customer. The customer requires to receive the prototype in the shortest time.
If the prototype test is normal, there will be a series of orders later. The
boss attached great importance to it and asked the technical team to design and
develop it. What the engineers are most worried about is that the use frequency
of the hydraulic power unit is twice that of the conventional one. Therefore,
the durability of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve used should be at
least more than 2 million times.
According to the parameters and working conditions
of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, Bauer contacted more than 20 new and
old hydraulic valve manufacturers. After one-to-one communication, he selected 5
hydraulic valve manufacturers to make samples for testing. 20 days later, Bauer
received 6 samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves. After the engineers
installed and tested, none of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves could
pass the durability test for 2 million times. Bauer had a second round of
communication with the manufacturers, 3 of the hydraulic valve manufacturers
said they would re-sample the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. After the
second round of testing, although the durability of hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves has been improved, they have not reached 2 million times.
Bauer was embarrassed. He might have killed the big order. After communicating,
the manufacturer advised that there was nothing he could do. Bauer was very
worried and had to try his luck with a new hydraulic valve manufacturer. He
found AAK hydraulic valve on Google and searched AAK website (www.aakindustry.com).
After browsing, Bauer thought that AAK might be able to successfully sample
this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve.
After receiving the working condition requirements
and drawings of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve from Bauer, AAK engineer
made analysis and determined that they were more than 95% confident to make it successfully.
After 2 rounds of testing, the engineer defined the production process of
proofing and circled the technical difficulties. After 20 days, AAK sent the
samples of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. Unexpectedly, 2 months after
the samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves were sent, we received the
official order of 600 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves from Bauer. Bauer
said that the equipment commissioning of South African customer was successful and
the operation was stable, they were very satisfied with the quality of PowerTeam.
The boss was very satisfied that Bauer found such a great hydraulic valve
manufacturer and designated AAK as their exclusive supplier of hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves.
Bauer also knew why AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve can be successful at one time. There are not only professional engineers
to design the process, but also self-developed equipment to escort it. Most
hydraulic valve manufacturers do not have the equipment for durability test,
but many dimensions of this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve are
non-standard, so many non-standard calibers of this hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve should be tested separately. AAK has the independently
developed durability test equipment for hydraulic threaded cartridge valves,
which can be combined with NFPA / T2.6.1 standard to carry out fatigue test on
valves according to the specified requirements of customers. AAK durability
test equipment has 5 test stations that can work independently of each other.
Each test area is equipped with hydraulic and electrical sources that are
conducive to valve fatigue test, which can greatly improve the detection
efficiency of the equipment, so as to ensure that each hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve can be shipped after passing the test.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, with unique
testing equipment to ensure the success of each sample. You are welcome to have
a small try!
Richard is a
purchaser of ATOS company in Italy. Last September, ATOS received a complaint
from a South African customer that the starting pressure of the hydraulic pump
was often insufficient recently. The field engineer analyzed that the valve spool
spring of the pilot hydraulic relief valve of the hydraulic pump was deformed,
resulting in the unstable pressure of the hydraulic system. He tried to replace
the pilot hydraulic relief valve to solve the problem. The customer questioned
the stability of their equipment because it had been used for less than 1 year.
After learning about it, the boss asked Richard to solve the customer complaint
as soon as possible and replace this batch of pilot hydraulic relief valves.
Richard wondered
about the problem with the pilot hydraulic relief valve. This pilot hydraulic
relief valve was produced by an American company and was re purchased this
time. The original manufacturer replied that this pilot hydraulic relief valve
has been produced according to the standard. The strength limit and elastic
limit of the piano steel wire used meet the requirements. The problem should be
caused by improper use by the user. Of course, he can not tell the boss of such
results. The original manufacturer was unwilling to take responsibility.
Richard contacted nearly 20 hydraulic valve
manufacturers, including AAK
hydraulic valve. After several rounds of communication, Richard eliminated half
of the hydraulic valve manufacturers, and then asked the shortlisted hydraulic
valve manufacturers to send their own ready-made pilot hydraulic relief valves.
Their company conducted spring elasticity test. Finally, 5 manufacturers were
selected to send samples for the second round according to the drawing size of
his pilot hydraulic relief valve and improve the spring elasticity.
After
communicating with Richard, we learned that the service limit pressure of the
hydraulic pump is above 350bar and the service frequency is very high. Although
the piano wire spring used by Sun, the original American manufacturer, is
advanced, special materials must be used for this special working condition. We
started to test the special spring first. Richard has received samples of pilot
hydraulic relief valves from other 4 factories, but AAK hasn't sent them yet.
Richard pushed us several times and we advised that we are still in testing.
Richard may think AAK should not be able to do it.
AAK engineers
spent 3 weeks, 6 times replacing materials and 9 times proofing, determined the
special alloy steel spring as a trial, and sent the pilot hydraulic relief
valve 30 days later. We specially asked Richard about the test of the pilot
hydraulic relief valves from the other 4 manufacturers. Richard advised that if
AAK pilot hydraulic relief valve could not pass the test, he would need a new
round of looking for suppliers.
A month later,
Richard informed that AAK pilot hydraulic relief valve could still be opened
and closed normally after 1 million tests under high stress, with flexible
action and no deformation of the spring, while the samples from the other 4
manufacturers began to be unstable after 400,000-600,000 tests. AAK stands out
from more than 20 suppliers after 3 rounds of PK. The spring of hydraulic valve
is most afraid of fatigue damage,especially under high stress. The spring
of AAK pilot hydraulic relief valve adopts SiCr alloy steel. The spring has the
characteristics of high temperature resistance, high rigidity, high relaxation
resistance and long fatigue life.
Richard is
finally relieved. He asked us to provide two more pilot hydraulic relief
valves, to replace the pilot hydraulic relief valves produced by the original
American manufacturer Sun company, and then start preparing materials for mass
production
AAK pilot operated hydraulic relief valve is
unconventional and exceeds the conventional goods of Sun company in the United
States. You can also have a small try.
AAK
hydraulic valve blocks adopt MB Series Plug of KVT company in Switzerland, and
forms a solid sealing surface after metal extrusion in the way of expansion
bite, 100% avoiding oil seepage and oil leakage of hydraulic valve block, which
fundamentally solves the problem of high-pressure plugging of hydraulic valve
block, and the rated pressure can be as high as 450bar without pollution. Most
hydraulic valve manufacturers fail to seal the hydraulic valve block in place,
but AAK has become a long-term cooperative supplier of hydraulic valve block
for American customer.
The
vast majority of hydraulic valve manufacturers use the traditional sealing
method of inner hexagonal (or outer hexagonal) screw plug and sealing
combination gasket to process the hydraulic valve block. The service pressure
is basically in the range of 50-300bar, and the operation is simple and easy to
disassemble. The hidden danger is that there are requirements for tightening
torque. If the torque is not reached, it is easy to leak, and if it exceeds,
the thread is easy to be damaged, some hydraulic valve manufacturers even apply
anaerobic glue on the thread, which is easy to cause particles of anaerobic
glue to fall into the hole, resulting in oil pollution or valve jamming of the
hydraulic valve.
In
addition to the function of hydraulic logic control, some hydraulic valve
blocks also need to work for a long time in the environment of high-pressure,
high-frequency pressure impact and temperature impact. Therefore, the sealing
process of hydraulic valve blocks is very important. Declan, an American
customer, is a hydraulic friend of Blake. He recently encountered trouble in
purchasing the hydraulic valve block. The approval sample of the hydraulic
valve block provided by the original factory showed that the parameters were
completely normal in the first test, and there was slight oil seepage in the
second test. Declan thought it was something wrong with the hydraulic system. Declan
checked and tested the samples for the third time, the hydraulic valve block
began to leak oil. After communicated with the original manufacturer, Declan
was advised that this sealing process is common in the industry, he should
either accept the hydraulic valve block as is or cancel the order.
Declan
consulted more than 30 hydraulic valve manufacturers through B2B, Google and
other websites. Their hydraulic valve blocks all adopt the general sealing
process in the industry, and can not guarantee 100% sealing. After consulting
Blake, Blake suggested him contacting AAK and told him that AAK hydraulic
valves are not market goods and have some their own R & D processes.
Perhaps AAK does not adopt the general sealing process in the industry for the
sealing of hydraulic valve blocks.
According
to the hydraulic valve block drawings from Declan, we sent out the hydraulic
valve block samples a week later. 2 weeks later, Declan informed us that the
parameters of AAK hydraulic valve block were fully up to standard after 3
tests.
AAK
has introduced new sealing technology and MB Series products of KVT company in
Switzerland as early as 5 years ago, which fundamentally solves the problem of
high-pressure sealing of hydraulic valve block. This technology has low
requirements for process hole, is convenient, fast and flexible for installation,
and the rated pressure can reach 450bar. At the same time, it forms a solid
sealing surface after intermetallic extrusion by expansion bite, and has no
pollution. The hydraulic valve block with strong stability is the personal
bodyguard of high-quality hydraulic valves.
AAK
hydraulic valve block, is 100% sealed, free of pollution, easy to operate, you
can also have a small try!
The angle error of inner cone of AAK hydraulic relief
valve sleeve is controlled within ± 0.8 °, and the minimum axial grinding
tolerance of sealing circle is 0.075μm. At the same time, it is inspected by three
coordinate measuring instrument to ensure that the hydraulic relief valve is
100% leak free. After comparing more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers,
Backhaus determined that AAK hydraulic valve is the most reliable hydraulic
relief valve manufacturer.
At present, in the manufacturing
process of hydraulic relief valve, when grinding the conical surface inside the
valve, most hydraulic valve manufacturers just let the operator judges the feed
rate, angle control and grinding tolerance by experience completely. There is
no grinding amount detection link, and there is no precision detection of each
part in the valve. When this type of common quality hydraulic relief valve is
used on equipment with high requirements, troubles will come out.
Backhaus is a purchaser of a German
hydraulic pump company for less than a year. In the first half of the year, a
batch of hydraulic pumps of their company were complained by customers. After
the hydraulic pump is started, the system pressure begins to lose stability and
there is pressure drift. The engineer judged that there was a problem with the
hydraulic relief valve. After disassembly, it was found that there was a gap
between the valve sleeve and valve spool of the hydraulic relief valve. After
measurement, it was found that the error of the cone angle in the valve sleeve
of the hydraulic relief valve was too big and caused leakage of the hydraulic
relief valve. The only solution is to replace the hydraulic relief valve. It is
estimated that 30% of hydraulic relief valves need to be replaced. The boss
asked Backhaus to replenish the goods as soon as possible and solve the
customer complaints.
Backhaus contacted the original manufacturer
of the hydraulic relief valve. The manufacturer was willing to replenish. Backhaus
thought it would be all right after replacing the hydraulic relief valve. A
month later, the customer complained again, which is still the same problem.
This shows that the quality of the hydraulic relief valve from the old
manufacturer is not trustworthy, and it is urgent to replace the hydraulic
relief valve supplier. Backhaus contacted more than 10 hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers, including AAK hydraulic valve. The hydraulic relief valve is required
to be 100% leak free. AAK hydraulic valve and other 3 manufacturers are
required to send samples for testing according to his hydraulic relief valve
drawings and working conditions.
A month later, Backhaus asked us about the
production time of replenishing 30% hydraulic relief valve. It should be that AAK
hydraulic relief valve has been recognized by the customer. Backhaus frankly
told that there was slight leakage on several hydraulic relief valves from the
other 3 manufacturers, only AAK hydraulic relief valve had no leakage, and the
parameters of AAK hydraulic relief valve were the most stable in the 4
factories. At the same time, their engineers regarded that AAK quality was the
most trustworthy.
AAK designs a special CMM detection device according
to the structural characteristics of the valve sleeve, which can analyze and
control the detection error, so as to reduce the impact of the measurement
system error on the measurement accuracy. In the actual manufacturing process,
the detection device can quickly measure the relevant dimensions of the inner
cone of each valve sleeve, realize the full coverage and accurate control of
manufacturing error, and ensure that the final actual manufacturing error of
the inner cone angle is controlled with ± 0.8 °, and the minimum axial grinding
tolerance of the sealing circle is 0.075μm. Thus, each
valve can achieve 100% leakage free.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, is not the
market common quality, focused on details, 100% no leakage, you are welcome to
give it a try!
Taylor suddenly emailed us to ask
if we can deliver 110 hydraulic diverter valves within 20 days? As the
purchasing manager of Caterpillar, Taylor has cooperated with AAK for several
years, but since the last half year, there has been only inquiry and no actual
order. There must be a reason for this urgent hydraulic diverter valve order.
Taylor said that the customer complained that their excavator was weak. The
hydraulic diverter valves used in the excavator were abnormal. Their engineers
found that the valve spool of the hydraulic diverter valve was stuck, so they
had to re purchase new hydraulic diverter valves for replacement. The customer
asked them to replace these hydraulic diverter valves within 1 month. This time
was very tight, and Taylor didn't have any confidence about it at all.
The original manufacturer considered that the residues
in the valve were due to the unclean hydraulic oil used, and was unwilling to offer
free replacement for the hydraulic diverter valves. He only can accept to produce
the hydraulic diverter valves for another new order, but it would take 35 days to
complete it. After disassembling the hydraulic diverter valve, the Caterpillar engineer
found that there were a few fine metal particles left on the contact surface
between the valve spool and the valve sleeve, and no particles were found in
the hydraulic oil. These particles were caused by incomplete cleaning of the
hydraulic diverter valve after processing, but the original manufacturer still
denied it. Taylor had to contact other hydraulic diverter valve manufacturers, including
several local factories in the United States. Unfortunately, none of them were
able to complete the production of 110 hydraulic diverter valves in 20 days.
This is why Taylor emailed to AAK. He regretted to save 20% of the price,
resulted in the current embarrassing situation.
We don't know whether we can complete the production
of 110 hydraulic diverter valves within 20 days. One day later, we advised
Taylor that we are 90% confident that we can complete the production of this
batch of hydraulic diverter valves. This hydraulic diverter valve is just very close
to another one that we produced for a German company. We still have the stock
materials, but only need to adjust the size slightly. This can save some time.
After 20 days, the 110 excavator hydraulic diverter valves were successfully
delivered, and their company successfully replaced the hydraulic diverter
valves. The customer was very satisfied with their after-sales speed, and
Taylor was finally relieved.
AAK hydraulic diverter valve
strictly controls and tests each production process, especially the cleaning in
the valve is clean. We use the ultrasonic cleaning machine imported from Japan,
which converts the sound energy of the power ultrasonic frequency source into
mechanical vibration through the transducer, and radiates the ultrasonic wave
into the cleaning solution in the tank through the cleaning tank wall. Due to
the radiation of ultrasonic wave, the microbubbles in the liquid in the tank
can keep vibrating under the action of sound wave, destroying the adsorption
between dirt and the surface of cleaning parts, causing the fatigue damage of
dirt layer and be removed, and scrub the solid surface with the vibration of
gas bubbles to achieve 100% cleaning of each part without leaving any residue.
Although AAK hydraulic diverter valve is 20% more
expensive, you don't have any worries in use. Taylor also privately told us
that after learning about this, his boss suggested not to easily change the
hydraulic diverter valve supplier. AAK hydraulic valve is trustworthy.
AAK hydraulic
diverter valve, the cleaning inside the valve is absolutely clean and 100%
residue free. You are welcome to give it a try!
The
email from Draper this morning made me in a good mood all day. I had two bowls
of rice at noon. He said that 5 months have passed since AAK supplied the hydraulic needle valves in September last year, they have not received any
complaints from users. His boss finally accepted his suggestion: "AAK is
the preferred supplier for hydraulic needle valves, even if the price is 20% more
expensive". Draper, whom we met in 2019, is a purchasing veteran of Doedijns
company in the Netherlands. In 2019, he purchased 3 small batches of hydraulic needle
valves from AAK in 3 times. He was very satisfied with the quality and service
of AAK hydraulic valves, but in the recent two years of 2020 and 2021, he basically
just placed orders for the very difficult and small quantity of hydraulic valves.
Draper told the truth privately that he couldn't persuade the boss to place a
big order with AAK. The problem is the price. Sometimes the price of AAK
hydraulic valves is 20% higher than that of other manufacturers. Only the
orders that are out of the capacity other hydraulic valve manufacturers will be
placed with AAK.
Last
July, Draper sent us an email with the subject of "the production time of
1200 hydraulic needle valves". Because he had never sent an inquiry for such
a big quantity of hydraulic needle valves, I thought that he sent the email to
us by mistake. After communication, it was learned that he finally persuaded
the boss to place big order with AAK even if the hydraulic needle valve is 20% more
expensive, because they don't want to waste time on the after-sales for the
hydraulic needle valves.
In
the past 2 years, customers have complained more and more about the hydraulic needle
valves purchased by Draper. The complaints are basically about some small
details of the hydraulic needle valves. For example, the hidden burr of the
hydraulic needle valves in the hydraulic power system is not completely
cleaned, which affects the matching accuracy and assembly of various parts in
the system, as well as the tightness of the matching interface, resulting in
internal leakage. Some hydraulic needle valves are complained by users after
being used for even only 3 months. For many times, they needed to replace the hydraulic
needle valves for users with new ones, which wasted too much of time due to after-sales
and also interrupted the construction progress of users. The 1200 hydraulic
needle valves purchased from AAK this time are the repeat order for their old
customer. The customer said that they will not accept the repair of hydraulic
power equipment within 6 months for any reason. Draper once again suggested the
boss purchase the hydraulic needle valves from AAK, because in the past 3
years, there has never been any abnormal quality of any hydraulic valves
purchased from AAK within 12 months. After comparing more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers, AAK is his most trusted hydraulic valve manufacturer.
Perhaps his boss also knows that AAK hydraulic needle valve has never been complained.
Although the pre-sales cost from AAK is 20% more, sometimes the after-sales
cost of hydraulic needle valves purchased from other hydraulic valve manufacturers
may exceed 20%. The boss finally agreed with Draper’s opinion. This time, the
large order of hydraulic needle valves will be placed with AAK even if the
price is 20% more expensive. Also, in the future, AAK will be the first choice
for their hydraulic valves.
The
reason why Draper is not worried about the burr of AAK hydraulic needle valves
is that he knows that AAK has the unique burr removal process that most other hydraulic
valve manufacturers can't do. Firstly, the accurate position of the burr is
determined, and the burr is removed by high-pressure solution jet. Then, there
is one more step to re-check the residual burr that the other peers will not
do. The burr part is rechecked by endoscope C50. If there are still residual
burr, clean it again and recheck it again until it is completely eliminated.
This is a detail awareness lacked by other hydraulic valve manufacturers, and
also the reason why AAK can achieve 100% free of burrs. AAK endoscope equipment
uses the number of CCD pixels and optical fiber conduction to automatically
adjust the brightness during detection. It performs 360 degree detection on
each hole in the valve body and clearly grabs each hidden burr, so as to ensure
that each hydraulic needle valve is 100% free of burr residue.
AAK
hydraulic needle valve is unique in detail inspection. Welcome to have a small
try!
Last week, Eddy emailed me that after AAK hydraulic
check valves of the test order has been used for 3 months , the O-ring seal was
still free of wear. He was finally relieved. Eddy, who works at Terex company
in the United States, has successfully purchased hydraulic valves from China over
the years, and his boss is also very satisfied. At the beginning of last year,
a customer complained about the hydraulic equipment supplied by their company
for offshore oil field exploitation, which made him very passive. Some
equipment has the phenomenon that the drilling machine rises slowly or cannot
rise. Their engineer found that the hydraulic check valves used in the oil
circuit of the hydraulic equipment had internal leakage, the one-way oil
circuit could not be fully locked, resulting in the inability of the equipment
to rise. Their engineer can only replace the hydraulic check valves with the
previous spare ones and bring the problematic hydraulic check valves back to
the company. Eddy sent these hydraulic check valves to the original supplier.
The supplier replied that the reason for the leakage in the hydraulic check
valves was that the ambient temperature was too low. The O-ring seal of the
hydraulic check valves was hardened and worn quickly in extremely cold
conditions, which was difficult to solve. Eddy knows that if he can't give reply
to customer like this, he must find a manufacturer who is able to produce the
hydraulic check valves working at low temperature. Eddy contacted several
hydraulic check valve manufacturers, most of them reported that it was
difficult to achieve 100% leakage free under such extremely cold conditions.
Eddy was worried.
When Eddy contacted us, our engineer wanted to see
the real reason for the wear of the O-ring of his hydraulic check valves and
asked him to send the defective hydraulic check valves. After receiving the
samples, our engineer realized that even if the cold resistant O-ring is used,
it may not be 100% leak free, and the structure of the sealing ring needs to be
changed, because the internal structure of this hydraulic check valve is a
little complex. Eddy said that this is the only different reply he received. It
seems that Eddy still doesn't believe that AAK can solve the leakage problem of
the hydraulic check valves.
I told him that a Russian customer has purchased
hydraulic relief valves from us, and their hydraulic equipment is also used in
oil fields. The customer told us that under extremely cold conditions, the
service life of AAK hydraulic relief valve is more than 4 times that of its peers.
Three weeks later, we sent 4 pieces of hydraulic check valves of the test order
to Eddy. There was no news after 3 months. Until last week, we received email
from Eddy amazing that their engineers also admired our idea of adding retaining
ring to the O-ring of the hydraulic check valves.
I told Eddy that the installation of retaining ring
can play the role of axial fixation, reduce the gap between the O-ring and the
low-pressure side of the seal, and prevent the O-ring from being 'extruded'. At
the same time, the structure of O-ring added with retaining ring will bear much
greater pressure than when the O-ring is used alone, which reduces the wear of
the O-ring. Moreover, AAK uses PTFE retaining rings that
can withstand extremely low temperature and can be used for almost all media
without hardening and damage. The most important thing is that AAK engineers
can design and manufacture with strict tolerance according to the working
conditions of their hydraulic check valves. That is, not only the material is
good, but also the structure needs to be matched, but also the strict tolerance
manufacturing during processing.
In the hydraulic check valves, the quality of every part
is related to the durability of the whole valve, including the small retaining
ring. AAK can design and customize the hydraulic check valves according to the
actual working conditions of customers. The hydraulic check valves with PTFE retaining
ring can be used in extremely cold areas and ensure durability.
AAK hydraulic check valves, has unique tips on
designing the retaining ring, welcome to have a small try!
Walt placed an order for 1000 hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves at one time last week, which surprised me. Three years ago, I
met Walt from an American company at the Shanghai PTC exhibition. He communicated
with us at our booth for more than half an hour. After the exhibition, Walt
sent an email saying that his company happened to have a newly developed hydraulic
equipment, which needs to use hydraulic threaded cartridge valves. He asked AAK
to urgently provide 30 samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves according
to his drawings. AAK sent out 30 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves after 25
days. After this, there was no inquiry for any hydraulic threaded cartridge
valves from him. Half a year later, Walt sent a new test order of 40pcs for another
new hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. Same as last time, there is no further
news after delivery. In this way, we just received 2 test orders in about 2
years.
I thought that there should be a mistake on the
quantity of this large order of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve this time. After
several rounds of emails, we know the story for this hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve. Their company has only begun to purchase hydraulic valves from
China in recent 3 years. For the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves purchased
at the beginning, there are always complaints from customers after a period of
time, such as leakage or jamming, insensitive opening and closing or serious wear
and tear, etc. In the past 2 years, Walt also tried samples from more than 20 hydraulic
valve manufacturers. The same problems still occur after each replacement. Only
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves have not received a complaint.
Walt compared more than 20
suppliers for 2 years, and only AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves had no
complaints. This time, he strongly suggested his boss that the future hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves can only be purchased from AAK. His boss also wants
to know why AAK can ensure that there are no complaints about the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves.
AAK hydraulic valve not only has the CNC machining
center imported from Switzerland, but also has its own upgraded and refitted
independent fixtures, which eliminates man-made errors. At the same time, we
have accurately controlled every detail of the processing, production,
assembly, inspection and packaging of each hydraulic threaded cartridge valve,
which has surpassed the vast majority of domestic peers.
Firstly, AAK will divide the installed products into
several assembly units according to the structure and process characteristics
of the hydraulic valve, reduce the single parts entering the general assembly
as much as possible, and ensure the reasonable assembly sequence and specified
assembly accuracy of the hydraulic valve. All parts will be accurately
measured, strictly inspected and tested before and after the general assembly
of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve.
Secondly, AAK adopts the matching method for
assembly, which will divide the parts into several groups according to the
strict size range, and then assemble the corresponding matching parts together
to achieve the required assembly accuracy.
Finally, after assembly, check whether there is
surplus or lack of parts, whether each connecting part is loose and skewed, and
whether the residue of sealing belt on cone plug is removed. At the same time,
test each hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, including leakage, flexibility,
opening and closing performance, etc.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is free of
complaint. Welcome to have a small try!
At the beginning of last year, LIEBHERR customized a
high-power and high-pressure excavator for their customer. 6 months later,
customer complained about oil leakage. After testing, the engineer found that
there was no problem with the hydraulic relief valve. The leakage was
concentrated in the auxiliary valve, so it was locked as a sealing problem.
After disassembling the hydraulic relief valve, it was found that it was caused
by the serious wear of the sealing ring. David was responsible for the purchase
of hydraulic valves. After he contacted the original factory of hydraulic
relief valve, the manufacturer soon sent a new sealing ring. However, a similar
situation occurred again in 2 months, and the sealing ring of hydraulic relief
valve was replaced for 3 consecutive cycles. The customer was very dissatisfied
with this after-sales service and complained directly to the headquarters. The
boss asked David to come up with a thorough solution as soon as possible.
David was also surprised why the sealing ring of the
hydraulic relief valve had to be replaced in 2 months. The manufacturer informed
that the pressure and limit temperature of this equipment are very special,
especially for high-frequency operation. The service life of the sealing ring
of the hydraulic relief valve can only be guaranteed in 2 months, it has to be
replaced every 2 months, no other solution. David contacted many other hydraulic
valve manufacturers, most of them said that they could only replace the sealing
ring every 2 months, and some also suggested changing the whole hydraulic
system assembly of the excavator. After 1 year, David hasn't come up with a new
plan yet. The customer is unhappy and the boss keeps pushing him.
David browsed AAK website and asked directly by
email whether AAK has tips on the sealing ring of hydraulic relief valve or not.
After receiving the drawings and working conditions of the hydraulic relief
valve from David, we found that the pressure of the hydraulic relief valve is
550bar, the limit temperature is 180 ℃,
and it has very high-frequency operation. Even the high temperature resistant
fluororubber sealing ring is not suitable for this hydraulic relief valve.
After 3 days of thinking, AAK technical team jumped
out of the dead end of thinking about the material of the sealing ring. Can we
redesign the structure between the sealing ring and the valve? After the test,
it was found that adding "Glyd-ring" may solve the sealing problem of
the hydraulic relief valve. David asked us to design and make samples of the
hydraulic relief valve installed with Glyd-ring as soon as possible. After 30
days, their engineer installed AAK hydraulic relief valve for customer. 2
months later, the customer didn't call to complain. David felt that AAK might
have solved the sealing problem of the hydraulic relief valve that had plagued
them for more than a year. 6 months later, there was still no leakage. David was
relieved finally. The customer recognized this solution, and the boss was also
very happy. In particular, their engineers appreciated AAK design ability and
quality.
AAK newly designed
hydraulic relief valve is to open a small groove in the contact section between
the valve spool and the valve sleeve to install the dynamic seal of Glyd-ring. Most peers can't
think of such installation. Even if they think of it, there may be few
factories who can operate the process. Such a sealing system can ensure
high-frequency friction. The material has stable performance, the pressure
resistance range can be below 600bar, and the temperature range is - 30 ℃ - + 200 ℃. Through the dynamic deformation of the sealing ring, it can ensure
100% sealing and prevent the pressureless liquid leakage.
The sealing of AAK
hydraulic relief valve, may be thought of by peers, but it may not be possible
to do so. There are wonderful tricks in seal design. Welcome to give it a try!
AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valve adopts
diamond reamer technology, and the valve hole accuracy of hydraulic relief
valve is guaranteed to be within 3μm, the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2-0.4.
AAK hydraulic relief valve is sensitive and the valve spool is not stuck. It
exceeds 99% of its peers. Nick, who has cooperated for 6 years, still orders
back from AAK.
Nick is the buyer of John Deere company. He has
cooperated with AAK hydraulic valve for more than 6 years. The boss trusts him
very much. Recently, a batch of bulldozers they sold to South Africa were
complained that the hydraulic system was unable to start. The problem was that
the valve body hole roundness of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve was
poor and the valve spool was easy to get stuck. The boss felt very strange. In
the past 6 years of cooperation with AAK hydraulic valve, there was no
complaint about the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve. After checking, he
knew that Nick found a new supplier for this hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve, which is 17% cheaper than AAK. The approval samples of hydraulic relief
valve provided by the hydraulic valve manufacturer are qualified. Unexpectedly,
the accuracy of hydraulic relief valve shipment is uneven. The boss asked Nick
to contact AAK hydraulic valve, reproduce the hydraulic relief valves, and ship
them directly to South Africa.
We were a little surprised when we received an email
from Nick to purchase 100 hydraulic relief valves and ship them directly to
South Africa. Nick frankly told us that there were problems with the shipments
from the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer and needed the help of AAK
to solve the customer complaints together. The difficulty of customer is the
difficulty of AAK. We give priority to the production of this batch of
hydraulic relief valves. After 35 days, the South African customer of Nick
received the replacement of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves, and the
whole after-sales process satisfied the customer.
Nick sent an inquiry for a new hydraulic relief
valve a few days ago. He specially said that his boss asked him to take AAK as
the first choice for future hydraulic relief valves, because the quality of AAK
hydraulic relief valve has not had any quality complaints in the past 6 years.
Comparing the hydraulic relief valves produced by AAK with its peers, it will show
why AAK hydraulic relief valve is sensitive and the valve spool is not stuck,
which exceeds 99% of its peers. Nick, who has cooperated for 6 years, still
orders back from AAK.
For the machining of hydraulic relief valve hole,
most peers use rigid Boring Reamer or stepped reamer, which has high production
efficiency, but the hole accuracy is generally 7μm or above, it is difficult to
stabilize on one data, and the roughness is fluctuated at the range of Ra1.6-3.2.
AAK uses the diamond reamer to process the valve hole of hydraulic relief
valve. In the grinding process, the reamer moves regularly in circumference and
axis, and the metal is cut completely without trace with the micro edge of
diamond particles. The accuracy of the valve hole of the hydraulic relief valve
is guaranteed to be within 3μm, the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2-0.4, which
almost avoids the roundness and cylindricity errors of the valve hole, improves
the coaxial accuracy, and unifies the accuracy data. AAK hydraulic relief valve
is sensitive, and the valve spool is not stuck, exceeding 99%.
The 17% more expensive AAK hydraulic relief valve,
has its unique valve hole processing, incomparable quality. You are welcome to
have a small try.
William is a purchaser of a hydraulic equipment
company in the United States. At the beginning of last year, a South American customer
wanted to customize a drilling machine for geological exploration. The South
American customer promised to order this equipment for a long time if it has
excellent performance and stability. The boss asked the engineers to design and
test samples. According to the working conditions, the maximum pressure of the
hydraulic system is 450bar or above, which has a very high requirement on the pressure
resistance and stability of the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves.
When William received the task of purchasing this hydraulic
pilot operated pressure control valve, he felt a big pressure, because the
pressure resistance of normal hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve is
basically 250bar, and the maximum pressure resistance provided by previous hydraulic
valve manufacturers was also only 380bar. He asked all the hydraulic valve
manufacturers that he contacted before, they basically replied that according
to this working condition, their hydraulic pilot operated pressure control
valve can only ensure a service life of 3 months, but the customer asked for a
service life of 1 year.
William also contacted the local hydraulic valve manufacturers
in the United States. They told him that he could not promise a service life of
1 year for this hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve. They can only test
the samples first, then to know the service life. One of his other hydraulic
valve manufacturers in China introduced AAK to him. He told William that AAK shipped
a hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve for a working condition of
maximum pressure 450bar before, but the service life required by that customer
is 6 months.
After receiving the drawings of the
hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve from William, AAK technical
team found that the requirements of this hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valve were higher than those of our last shipment. The conventional No.
45 steel could not meet the requirements, so we had to find special steel.
Later, after 5 times of material selection and testing, 2 months later, AAK internal
sample testing was successful by using a German steel with high wear resistance
and high fatigue resistance. After sending the samples of hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve, we have been waiting for news from William.
William said that no news from customer is the best news.
Last month, 1 year after AAK samples
were sent, William emailed us that he would order 100 hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valves at one time. The quality standard is the same as that of the
hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves sent last year. Because the other
hydraulic valve manufacturers in China can only ensure the service life of 3
months, he did not request those manufacturers to make samples, but only asked a
hydraulic valve manufacturer in the United States and AAK hydraulic valve to make
samples for this hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve at the same
time.
The test result from their customer is that the
samples of hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves provided by the hydraulic
valve manufacturer in the United States needed to be treated after being used
for 12 months, while the condition of AAK sample is still normal after 1 year.
Therefore, they choose AAK as the supplier for this hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valve and think it is difficult to find a second one
The core of this hydraulic pilot operated
pressure control valve is material and heat treatment. AAK adopts 20CrNi2MoV
high carburizing bearing steel imported from Germany, combined with carburizing
pretreatment process, through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low
temperature tempering process, which is cooled to 650 ~ 700 ℃ and discharged after cooling to 450 ~
500 ℃. The micro hardness is 237 ~ 247 HV, and its wear
resistance and contact fatigue performance are increased by more than 3 times.
AAK customized hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valve, is suitable for high pressure working condition and durable,
welcome to have a small try!
Vasiliev is a purchaser from an oil
field production company in Russia. Although he has not been in office for a
long time, his purchasing is very smooth. Early last year, he purchased a batch
of hydraulic relief valves for the hydraulic system of drilling rigs for oil
exploration in Alaska. The testing on the hydraulic relief valve sample from the
original supplier was smooth, but the drilling machine was unable to start
after working for about 3 months. It was judged on site that the hydraulic
relief valve in the equipment was leaking. After further disassembling the
hydraulic relief valve, it was found that the O-ring in the hydraulic relief
valve was worn and broken.
Vasiliev contacted the original
hydraulic valve manufacturer. The manufacturer replied that the standard nitrile
rubber (NBR) O-ring used for this hydraulic relief valve has a service life of
at least more than 1 year. He asked Vasiliev to check the temperature of the
working environment. When he learned that it was extremely cold at - 50 ℃, the manufacturer said that the
sealing ring of the hydraulic relief valve can only be replaced once every 3
months, and there is no other alternative sealing ring. Vasiliev was helpless
and had to replace the sealing ring of the hydraulic relief valve to maintain
the start-up. Two months after the new O-ring was installed, the hydraulic
relief valve leaked again. The engineer complained that the hydraulic relief
valve purchased by Vasiliev was too unreliable.
Vasiliev has to find new suppliers.
He contacted with more than 30 hydraulic valve manufacturers, including we AAK
hydraulic valve. Nearly all manufacturers replied that under the extremely cold
condition of - 50 ℃, it is normal
for sealing ring to have a service life of only 2-3 months. Only a few
hydraulic valve manufacturers are willing to test new materials, but the lead
time is to be determined. After receiving the email, AAK just asked about the
quantity and delivery date, and told Vasiliev that our product quality can be
guaranteed for 1 year under the extremely cold condition of - 50 ℃.
Vasiliev may have realized the AAK hydraulic valve
is some different, and asked about 4 why and 3 how in a short email. We replied
that there is no need to make sample for this hydraulic relief valve, because we
produced a hydraulic relief valve for a North American customer that was used under
similar working conditions the year before last. It has been used for more than
1 year and there was no complaint about the leakage of the hydraulic relief
valve. Vasiliev was still rather in doubt about this, but he had no other
choice except to try AAK hydraulic relief valve, because other hydraulic valve
manufacturers either gave up or can not determine the lead time. After 30 days,
AAK delivered the hydraulic relief valve as scheduled. After the test was
normal, the original hydraulic relief valve was replaced.
6 months later, we asked Vasiliev
whether the customer complained about the abnormal hydraulic relief valve.
Vasiliev said that AAK hydraulic relief valve was in normal use. His boss was
surprised that AAK had done something that more than 30 other hydraulic valve
manufacturers could not do. Now the new project is to be developed, and the
boss requested that the hydraulic relief valve should be purchased from AAK.
AAK hydraulic relief valve uses ZnO / MAA reinforced
hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) O-ring.
The high temperature resistance of this O-ring is
130 ~ 180 ℃, and the cold resistance is - 55
~ - 38 ℃. Compared with the ordinary nitrile butadiene
rubber ring, silicon rubber, fluororubber, Polytetrachloroethylene O-ring, it
has better performance on cold resistance and radiation resistance, is more
suitable for extreme cold environment, and can greatly improve the service life
of O-ring. AAK hydraulic relief valve with specially treated hydrogenated
nitrile rubber (HNBR) O-ring can still be used for more than 1 year even under
the extremely cold condition of - 55 ℃, and this
Russian client don't want to find a second hydraulic relief valve supplier any
more.
AAK hydraulic relief valve has a service life of at
least 1 year under extremely cold conditions of - 55 ℃. Welcome to have a small try!
Compared among 20 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers,
none of them is able to do the hydraulic relief valve with 2 million times of durability.
AAK hydraulic valve finally achieved it after 3 times of sampling. Friedlich
worked in polar company for 4 years and was promoted and raised for the first
time.
At the beginning of last year, Polar company wanted
to develop a new paper cutter. It is expected that the production efficiency
will be increased by 50% on the original basis, and the hydraulic relief valve
in the hydraulic system is the key, especially the durability of the hydraulic
relief valve is required to be 2 million times. The durability of the hydraulic
relief valve they previously purchased is basically about 1.2 million times.
Friedlich was assigned to purchase this hydraulic
relief valve. He realized that this is a challenge and also an opportunity to
improve himself. First, he issued proofing requirements to the original
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, asked them to redesign a new production
process for the hydraulic relief valve and make samples for testing. After 20
days, Friedlich received samples of hydraulic relief valves from 3
manufacturers. After 1.5 million times, the valve spool or valve body of the
hydraulic relief valve was worn one after another, and none of the
manufacturers was successful. Friedlich asked the manufacturer with the best
durability to make new samples. The manufacturer advised that this is the best
durability that he can achieve at present. If a better sample is needed, it
takes time to study and try. Friedlich had to find a new hydraulic relief valve
supplier. He contacted more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers successively.
Some had no reply, and some were willing to make a sample for the durability
test of hydraulic relief valve.
At that time, when AAK received the drawings and
working condition requirements from Friedlich, our engineers were also not sure
at the beginning, because the durability test of the hydraulic relief valve was
more than 2 million times, which has a very high requirement for the material
selection. With the efforts of more than 2 months, after the selection, comparison,
test to the steel materials and 3 times of sampling, the new production process
of hydraulic relief valve was determined. Friedlich received the sample of AAK
hydraulic relief valve and conducted the durability test. 2 weeks later,
Friedlich asked about the production time of 420 hydraulic relief valves and
informed that although AAK was the last one among more than 20 hydraulic valve
manufacturers to provide samples of hydraulic relief valves, it was also the
only one to pass 2 million durability tests.
Last week, almost half a year after these hydraulic
relief valves were shipped, Friedlich thanked AAK by email that their paper
cutter was equipped with the hydraulic relief valve provided by AAK, it has no
any quality complaint and is now selling well. The boss is very satisfied with
his purchasing performance. He has worked for 4 years and is now promoted to
purchasing manager.
He wants to know why only AAK
hydraulic relief valve has such good durability. AAK selects 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot
working die steel, which can withstand huge mechanical stress in work. It not
only has high hardness, strength, wear resistance and toughness, but also has
good high-temperature strength, thermal fatigue stability, thermal conductivity
and corrosion resistance. At the same time, its high hardenability ensures that
the whole section has consistent mechanical properties. Thus, the hydraulic
relief valve is protected from erosion during the operation of the hydraulic
system, so as to ensure its durability.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, the
material is selected, designed and produced according to the needs of customers,
you are welcome to try a small order!
Andrew is the purchasing director of VIS Hydraulics
in Italy and an old friend of AAK. He has cooperated with AAK for more than 4
years. One morning in October, I received an email from Andrew with the subject
of "a big trouble". It is the first time that I received such an
emotional email from Andrew. After reading, it turned out that the pressure of a
hydraulic power system of their company was not enough, and the customer
complained. The root of the problem is that the hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve and hydraulic valve block does not match each other. The boss asked him
to solve the problem within a month.
After communication, it was learned that the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve and the hydraulic valve block purchased by Andrew were
not produced by the same manufacturer. Now both manufacturers do not admit that
it was their own problem. The hydraulic threaded cartridge valve manufacturer
said that the pressure of the hydraulic system was slow due to the processing
accuracy of the hydraulic valve block, while the hydraulic valve block
manufacturer said that the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve had leakage,
resulting in insufficient flow. Andrew failed to communicate for several times
and thought of AAK. During so many years of cooperation, only AAK hydraulic
valve has no complaint. He hopes that AAK can help him find out what the
problem is.
Andrew sent us the design drawings of the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve and hydraulic valve block. After analysis, AAK
engineers found that the probability is that the design of the hydraulic valve
block is unreasonable, the flow area of the through hole designed is not
enough, and the direction and position of the oil inlet and outlet are not
optimal, resulting in insufficient pressure of the whole hydraulic system.
Andrew asked the hydraulic valve block manufacturer to design and produce, but
the manufacturer needs 2 months to complete it, while the time given by his boss
is only 1 month. Andrew asked the fastest time that AAK can finish the
hydraulic valve block.
Our engineers are worried that there may be
deviation if design the hydraulic valve block alone. If combined with the
mapping of the valve, we can achieve 100% of the optimal design scheme. We
recommended Andrew to send us the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, too.
After receiving it, the scanning analysis was carried out, and the design scheme
was obtained 2 days later. After 20 days, the redesigned hydraulic valve block
was sent to Andrew. After installation and commissioning, the pressure of the
hydraulic system was normal. After the complaint was resolved, the boss was
also happy and asked Andrew to purchase both the hydraulic threaded cartridge
valve and hydraulic valve block from AAK in the future. Don't purchase them separately
any more.
AAK
engineers use professional automation studio version 7.0 software to
automatically generate simulated hydraulic valve block of the threaded
cartridge valve, scan and identify the external structure of each threaded
cartridge valve, which can directly drag and generate 2D schematic diagram and
3D manifold design drawing in the most intuitive, fastest and simplest way, and
then automatically generate the production drawing of hydraulic valve block
through the created 2D diagram, with effective and accurate layout of each channel
design. The generated data can be directly imported into the CNC machining
center system. Compared with the normal design, it can effectively shorten the
modification cycle, demonstrate with higher quality and improve the production
process, so as to realize the high-efficiency design and processing of
hydraulic valve block.
AAK hydraulic valve block is
designed by using advanced 3D simulation design software. It can be designed and
processed easily. Welcome to have a small try!
Malcolm is a purchaser from an American hydraulic
equipment manufacturer. He has purchased various hydraulic valves from AAK for
some years. We know each other very well. At the beginning of the year before
last, their company received an urgent order from a customer in South America.
The company required that the accessories of the whole hydraulic system must be
in place within 20 days. AAK is their long-term supplier of hydraulic valve
blocks. Malcolm estimates that if the hydraulic valve blocks are purchased from
AAK this time, including the transportation and customs clearance time, it will
be over 20 days. AAK is only required to offer the quotation according to the
hydraulic valve block drawings for their file and is informed that due to time
constraints, they will first purchase the hydraulic valve blocks from the local
hydraulic valve manufacturer this time.
About 8 months after our quotation, Malcolm asked by
email about what is the reason for the leakage of the hydraulic valve blocks. I
asked jokingly if leakage happened in the hydraulic valve blocks purchased
locally last time. He said that the customer initially complained that about
30% of the hydraulic valve blocks were leaking. The local manufacturer also
replaced the bad hydraulic valve blocks with new ones. However, 3-4 months
after installation, the customer reported that there was leakage fault of the
hydraulic valve blocks again. Now the customer is not satisfied with the
stability of the hydraulic valve blocks and needs the leakage problem of the
hydraulic valve blocks solved at one time. The trouble is that the local hydraulic
valve manufacturer in the United States does not cooperate to replace the
hydraulic valve blocks again.
We replied that if we simply look at the leakage
cause of the hydraulic valve block, the probability is that the surface
roughness of the hydraulic valve block is not up to standard, or the roughness
Ra value of the hydraulic valve block is unstable. According to the
requirements of these working conditions of your hydraulic equipment, if the Ra
value is stable at 0.4um, the problem of hydraulic valve block leakage will not
occur.
10 days later, AAK sent 12 samples of hydraulic
valve blocks for emergency first. After 20 days, the remaining 30% of the
hydraulic valve block was sent from AAK. Now, 12 months have passed, and no complaint
from customer. Malcolm mentioned 2 days ago that the customer was ready to
place an order again. This time, his boss said that no matter how urgent it
was, it was necessary to purchase from AAK, because AAK hydraulic valve block
was the most trustworthy, and the boss would communicate with the customer
about the delivery date.
Why can AAK achieve the surface roughness Ra value
of hydraulic valve block to 0.4um?
First of all, the Ra value of the hydraulic valve is
the cornerstone. The coarser the surface, the easier it is to wear. The
intermediate gap gradually increases during use, which ultimately affects the
sealing effect of the hydraulic valve block and the service life of the
hydraulic system. Secondly, a small Ra value is the key and the focus of
operation. After processing the hydraulic valve block, AAK will focus on the
detection of Ra value and use TYLYROND® 500 Pro Series ultra-high precision
profile measuring instrument, the most high-end in the world, from British
Taylor Hopson company, ensure the measurement accuracy and stability of Ra
value more than similar instruments. The Talym sensor, has an industry leading measurement
range of 4mm, and the measurement resolution is 16nm-0.3nm, which can measure in any attitude, whether horizontal or
vertical, and the measuring force remains unchanged. Thus, the surface
roughness of each hydraulic valve block can be accurately, stably and
efficiently tested.
AAK hydraulic valve block, is ingeniously operated
and processed, tested by high-end testing equipment. Our American customer has replaced
his local original manufacturer in the United States with AAK. You can also
have a small try!
When back from the Spring Festival, we received a reorder
for 120 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves from Echerle company. Dean has been
engaged in hydraulic parts purchasing in Echerle company for many years, and
has been doing very well. The boss also trusts him. At the beginning of last
year, the company developed a new hydraulic power unit, which has high
requirements for the accuracy of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve to be used.
Because of the high accuracy requirement, the original hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve manufacturer said that he was not able to achieve it. Dean used
a new hydraulic threaded cartridge valve manufacturer finally. After their
hydraulic power unit equipment has been sold for just less than 3 months, the
customer complained about insufficient power supply. Their engineers believe
that the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve was stuck and caused the problem. However,
the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve manufacturer believes that it is caused
by the uncleanness of hydraulic oil, but the engineer detected that the
hydraulic oil is normal.
The boss was not satisfied with such a hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve manufacturer and asked dean to find a new hydraulic
valve manufacturer and replenish goods as soon as possible. Dean left a message
on AAK website and asked, what are the reasons for the stuck of the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve? We estimated that he had encountered the complaint about
the stuck of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. After communication, we
learned that he was cheated by the new hydraulic valve manufacturer.
According to the hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve drawings sent by him, the accuracy requirements are high,
especially the dimensional accuracy requirement of the valve hole is IT7 ~ 4.
Among the hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo, there may be no more than 3 factories
that are able to meet it. We suggested Dean send the abnormal hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve to us. After receiving and disassembling the sample,
it was found that the cylindricity and coaxiality of the valve hole of the
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve had errors, that is, the accuracy was not
enough, the pressure in the matching gap between the valve hole and the valve spool
is not balanced, resulting in the limited flexibility and easy stagnation of
the valve spool in the valve body.
Dean asked whether we can produce hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves meeting valve hole accuracy requirements of IT7 ~ 4? We told Dean
that for the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, the valve hole accuracy is the
key point and also the difficulty of quality control process. It directly
affects the working performance, service life and stability of the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve. General hydraulic valve manufacturers surrender to
this accuracy. AAK has a precision honing machine imported from the United
States, which guarantees the finishing of the valve hole of the hydraulic
thread cartridge valve, and has the special machine operated by a specially
assigned person. After honing, the dimensional accuracy of the valve hole of
the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is IT7 ~ 4, and the surface roughness
can reach Ra0.32 ~ 0.04 microns.
Dean first placed a test order of 10 hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves to solve customer complaints. After 30 days, Dean
informed us by email that their engineer was very satisfied with all the data
detected from AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, especially the accuracy
of valve hole. After installing AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, the
hydraulic power unit restored. If there is no any problem after being used for 3
months, they will place another order for 120 hydraulic threaded cartridge
valves.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, the valve
hole accuracy is praised by the customer's engineers, and you can also give it
a try.
In the Spring Festival, I received a confirmed price
for a large quantity of hydraulic check valves from Stephen. The contact
between Stephen and I is only 2-3 times in the whole last year. It was noted at
the end of the email that he needs me to contact him as soon as possible to
discuss this hydraulic check valve. Stephen comes from American CASE company.
We met the year before last. After communication, it was learned that at the
beginning of last year, a bulldozer of their company needed to use hydraulic
check valve, the one that AAK had made samples at the beginning. Because the
price of AAK hydraulic check valve was 20% higher than that of his original
supplier, Stephen did not choose to purchase hydraulic check valve from AAK.
Some time ago, the customer complained that the hydraulic pump was damaged due
to the sudden increase of hydraulic system pressure.
Stephen communicated with the original hydraulic check
valve manufacturer and the manufacturer replaced the hydraulic check valve with
a new one, but 3 months later, the same problem came again. The customer was
very dissatisfied that this delayed the construction and needed the problem solved
at one time. Stephen went back to AAK and asked about the price of the hydraulic
check valve. He needed us to maintain the quotation offered last year. I asked
Stephen why he went back to AAK to purchase the hydraulic check valve. He told
that since the first complaint from the customer, their engineers retested the
original hydraulic check valve samples. The hardness of AAK sample was the
highest, and the material hardness of each part of the hydraulic check valve
was no less than HRC65.
I know why their hydraulic check valve went on
strike in 3 months. When we made the sample, we knew that the working pressure
was more than 450bar, which was a challenge for the hydraulic check valve. The
material hardness of each part of the hydraulic check valve is required to
reach more than HRC65. There may be no more than 5 hydraulic valve
manufacturers that can reach this level in Ningbo.
Stephen wondered why the material hardness of each
part of AAK hydraulic check valve can be over HRC65?
1.
Material selection
is the core. AAK adopts 20CrNi2MoV high carburizing bearing steel imported from
Germany for this hydraulic check valve.
2.
Heat treatment is
the key. Through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low-temperature
tempering process, it is cooled to 650 ~ 700 ℃ and put into the furnace. After cooling to 450 ~ 500 ℃, it is discharged from the furnace. The micro hardness is 237 ~ 247
HV.
3.
In
the later stage, point-to-point testing is the key. SonoDur3, a Rockwell
hardness tester imported from Germany, adopts the UCI hardness test method, and
the test program is fast and mobile to carry out nondestructive testing on the
hardness of each component of the hydraulic check valve efficiently and
accurately.
Stephen may understand that AAK has
extreme pursuit for the hardness of hydraulic check valve to meet the working
pressure above 450bar. Two days later, after the order of the hydraulic check valve
was confirmed, he said that the complaint about the hydraulic check valve that
had plagued him for half a year was finally solved at one time. We told him
that he only needs to wait patiently for the delivery in 40 days, and the rest
will be left to AAK.
AAK hydraulic check valve is exquisite in every
detail. Welcome to give it a try!
Smith
is the head purchasing of a hydraulic company from California. His purchasing
of hydraulic valves in recent years has been smooth. In the last hydraulic
valve block order, the parameters were normal when the hydraulic valve block approval
sample was tested for the first time, but there was oil leakage in the second test
on the hydraulic valve block. After rechecking, the oil leaked again in the
third test on the hydraulic valve block. Smith communicated with the hydraulic
valve block manufacturer for many times but without results. The manufacturer
said that this is the traditional sealing process of hydraulic valve block, Smith
should either accept it as is or cancel the order. Smith knew that the delivery
date confirmed with the customer was due in 1 month, so it was urgent to find a
new hydraulic valve block manufacturer to replace the current one.
Smith
checked the sealing process of no less than 20 hydraulic valve block manufacturers.
They all adopted the traditional sealing method of hexagonal plug combined with
and sealing gasket. Smith knew that although this sealing method is simple to
operate, it has very high requirements for tightening torque. When the torque
parameters are not up to standard, the hydraulic valve block is easy to leak.
In order to prevent leakage, some hydraulic valve block manufacturers apply anaerobic
glue on the threads. During operation, the particles of anaerobic glue fall
into the valve hole, causing oil pollution or valve jamming of the hydraulic
valve block.
The
delivery date is approaching day by day, but the new qualified hydraulic valve
block manufacturer has not been found yet. Smith is worried and asks around.
His friend Caleb gave him the contact information of AAK hydraulic valve. Caleb
is also our hydraulic valve customer in the United States. He suggested Smith contact
AAK, and told him that AAK hydraulic valve exports to European and American
markets all year round and has some unique R & D processes. Perhaps AAK
will be different in the sealing treatment process of hydraulic valve block.
Smith
directly sent us the hydraulic valve block drawing and required that the
traditional sealing technology should not be used. A week later, AAK sent the
hydraulic valve block sample successfully. Two weeks later, Smith informed AAK
by email that the parameters of AAK hydraulic valve block were fully up to
standard after 3 tests, and there was still no leakage after the 4th and 5th
tests.
Smith
is very curious about how the sealing process of AAK hydraulic valve block is
different from that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers?
The
vast majority of hydraulic valve manufacturers fail to seal the hydraulic valve
block in place because they stick to the rules in technology. 6 years ago, AAK was
eliminated by the customer due to the leakage of the traditional sealing
technology of the hydraulic valve block. After that, we decided to adopt the
new technology. AAK has introduced new sealing technology and MB Series plugs
of KVT company in Switzerland as early as 5 years ago. It mainly forms a solid
sealing surface in between the metal parts in the way of expansion, extrusion
and bite, so as to 100% avoid oil leakage of the hydraulic valve block, and
fundamentally solve the difficulty of high-pressure sealing of the hydraulic
valve block. At the same time, the pollution is small and the stability of the
hydraulic valve block is stronger.
AAK
Hydraulic valve block has the sealing technology comparable with Swiss technology,
is pollution and leakage free, you are welcome to have a small try!
Bill is a purchaser
of Manitowoc company in the United States. Two years ago, AAK received an
inquiry about hydraulic counterbalance valves from him, and there were few contacts later. Unexpectedly,
two years later, we received an email from him consulting about the problems of
the hydraulic counterbalance valves. After communication, we learned that a
batch of hydraulic counterbalance valves he purchased elsewhere had problems
and almost got into a big trouble.
Last summer, a crane shipped by their company, the
crane winch system lost control during construction and the hook slipped off.
Fortunately, there was no one under the hook at that time, otherwise there
would be great trouble. According to the analysis of the field engineer, it is
considered that the hydraulic counterbalance valve used in the crane winch
system is abnormal. After disassembling the hydraulic counterbalance valve, it
is found that there is a deviation in the concentricity between the valve spool
and the valve seat. The valve spool is affected by large eccentric hydraulic
force, so that the hydraulic counterbalance valve lost its function of balance
and the hook slipped off.
After knowing the reason, Bill contacted the
original hydraulic counterbalance valve supplier. The supplier replied that the
hydraulic counterbalance valves were indeed within the warranty period, he can
replace the abnormal hydraulic counterbalance valves with a new ones, but can
not guarantee that each hydraulic counterbalance valve had the same
concentricity and could be used for more than 1 year. Bill was worried about
the stability of the new hydraulic counterbalance valves. He didn't want to have
big trouble and had to find a new hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturer.
In crane hydraulic system, the performance of
hydraulic counterbalance valve is the cornerstone of winch system, and the
consistency of hydraulic counterbalance valve concentricity is the key. Bill
also asked other hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers. No factory
guarantees that the concentricity of the hydraulic counterbalance valve can be still
consistent after 1 year of use. Bill wants to know how about the concentricity
of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves after being used for 1 year.
We told Bill that perhaps having a try is the best
answer. He can detect the concentricity of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves
in an all-round way. After 15 days, we sent 4 samples of hydraulic counterbalance
valves according to his drawings. Seven days later, Bill informed us that the
concentricity test data of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves were indeed more
comprehensive than that of his original manufacturer. How to ensure that the
concentricity of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves is still consistent after 1
year of use?
For some manufacturers, when processing the
components of hydraulic counterbalance valves, there are discrepancies between
the specification parameters and design, the standard of normal distribution
cannot be reached, there are certain differences in between the structure of
components and the concentricity of grooves, which is difficult to detect. AAK
has Mahr cylindricity instrument imported from Germany. Through EasyForm
software, it can measure each part accurately and quickly, and obtain the measurement
results. With the help of computer, the work piece can be quickly adjusted and
aligned to improve the measurement efficiency, ensuring the concentricity of
each hydraulic counterbalance valve is 100% consistent to reduce wear.
More than half a year later, Bill sent an email
saying that another two hydraulic valve manufacturers that he recognized, also provided
samples of hydraulic counterbalance valves with AAK together last time. All the
hydraulic counterbalance valves were retested after 6 months of use. It was
found that the concentricity of the hydraulic counterbalance valves from
another two manufacturers changed compared with the data before use, but the
concentricity of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves did not change. The boss
asked him to list AAK as the most trusted supplier for their hydraulic counterbalance
valves.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves, are sophisticatedly
inspected, can be used without no trouble. You are welcome to have a small try!
Henry
is a purchaser of a hydraulic power unit manufacturer in the United States. He
almost lost his job when he purchased the hydraulic pressure relief valves in the first time after just joining the company. AAK
high-precision hydraulic pressure relief valves saved the job for him. Last
October, one of their African customers customized a batch of hydraulic power
unit equipment for use in African mining bases. The requirements of the
equipment for the hydraulic pressure relief valves used are that there is no
abnormality within 1 year.
Henry contacted
more than 10 hydraulic pressure relief valve manufacturers and screened 4
samples from each of 4 factories. A month later, the engineering department
debugged these hydraulic pressure relief valves. Almost all hydraulic pressure
relief valves from every factory have unstable hydraulic system pressure, but only
the proportion is different. At first, the engineer thought it was due to the
installation of hydraulic pressure relief valves or the problem of oil quality.
After several commissioning, it was found that the outlet pressure of hydraulic
pressure relief valves was almost equal to the inlet pressure. After
disassembling the hydraulic pressure relief valves, it is found that the
geometric tolerance is out of tolerance due to the accuracy of the main valve spool
and valve hole. After knowing this, the boss thought that Henry had a problem
on the communication with the hydraulic pressure relief valve manufacturers and
asked him to solve the purchasing of the hydraulic pressure relief valves with
the manufacturers within 4 weeks.
Henry has made
two rounds of screening for hydraulic pressure relief valve manufacturers and
emphasized the working conditions, but still no one can achieve that every
hydraulic pressure relief valve has no problem. He felt that he was cheated.
The water in the hydraulic pressure relief valve industry was too deep. Henry
found AAK hydraulic valve on Google and left a message on our website: Can AAK get
the geometric tolerance of each hydraulic pressure relief valve consistent?
After several rounds of e-mail communications, we learned about what happened
when he purchased hydraulic pressure relief valves for the first time. We can
only comfort him that he was misled by hydraulic pressure relief valve
manufacturers due to lack of experience. He can test the samples of AAK
hydraulic pressure relief valves. Three weeks later, AAK sent Henry 5 samples
of hydraulic pressure relief valves. Their engineer tested each sample 3 times,
and the hydraulic power unit equipment was normal. The boss praised his
emergency ability. Now Henry doesn't have to worry about losing his job.
We told Henry that
according to the working conditions and drawings of this hydraulic pressure relief
valve, the accuracy of each hydraulic pressure relief valve is required to meet
the standard and be stable, which needs to meet two points: one is the
selection of materials, the other is the control of machining accuracy and the
error correction of accuracy in machining, which is the key. AAK use the
GILDEMEISTER turn milling compound machining center imported from Germany.
During the machining process of various parts of the valve body, the central
encoder can be used to measure the position and compensate the errors caused by
tool wear. The worktable adopts the static pressure guide rail with pure static
pressure load, which has strong bearing capacity. At the same time, it has the
c-axis position detection technology with double reading heads that is not
available in general equipment. The positioning accuracy of c-axis can reach 5
arc seconds, while at present, most hydraulic pressure relief valve
manufacturers do not have this kind of equipment.
AAK hydraulic pressure
relief valves are produced by high-precision advanced equipment. Welcome to
have a small try!
Mathias,
a Dutch hydraulic customer, urgently needed to purchase a batch of hydraulic
valve blocks matching the German brand from China at the end of last year. He
asked more than 10 old hydraulic valve block manufacturers. They all said that
the accuracy of this hydraulic valve block was too high for their technology
and equipment. Mathias had a hunch that nine times out of ten, the order for
this hydraulic valve block would fail, because he knew that most hydraulic
valve manufacturers just have CNC machine tools. But his boss attached great
importance to this customer and asked him to implement the hydraulic valve
block sample within 30 days. Within a week, Mathias consulted nearly 20
hydraulic valve block factories online and offline, almost all of them just
have CNC lathes. Only two of them said that they have Japanese high-precision
CNC machine tools. They can try to make samples but are not 100% sure. Two
weeks later, Mathias tested the hydraulic valve block samples from 2 factories,
and there was still a parameter error of 10% - 13%. Mathias suggested the
factory re-make samples, and both factories surrendered.
Time
has been wasted for 3 weeks. It's only 2 weeks from the deadline required by
the boss. Mathias is anxious and has no direction. While chatting with old
friend Andy, Mathias revealed his dilemma. Andy is a veteran in the hydraulic
valve industry and has cooperated with AAK hydraulic valve for 5 consecutive
years. Andy told Mathias that the accuracy of this hydraulic valve block
requires not only high-precision machine tools, but also old operators who
understand the equipment. Most hydraulic valve block manufacturers are
difficult to meet these two requirements at the same time. He suggested Mathias
try AAK, who likes to overtime difficulties on high-precision hydraulic valves,
and most operators have more than 5 years of experience in operating imported
equipment.
The
subject of Mathias's first email to AAK hydraulic valve was that I was
introduced by Andy. He said that the accuracy of this hydraulic valve block can
only be produced in AAK. Opening his hydraulic valve block drawing, AAK
engineers have 90% confidence. I replied to him directly that if it goes well, we
can send the hydraulic valve block samples before the Chinese New Year holiday.
Jan 28th is our last working day before CNY and the last day to send samples.
Our team was great to send the samples on Jan 28th.
When
we came back from the Spring Festival holiday, we received an email from
Mathias. Their technical team tested the accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve blocks.
Each parameter met the accuracy required by the drawing, and almost every
parameter was 30% higher than that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers. AAK
is also the only hydraulic valve block manufacturer that can match the German
brand among all the hydraulic valve manufacturers he contacted. He can finally
make a report to his boss. Next, the order confirmation process of hydraulic
valve blocks is very smooth.
Mathias
understood why Andy is optimistic that AAK can achieve the accuracy of this
hydraulic valve block. AAK introduced Demage five axis machining center as
early as 2 years ago. The allowable rotation range is 115 ° (- 5 ° / + 110 °),
which can carry out negative angle machining up to 20 ° and high-precision
machining, which can not be achieved by many imported machine tools. At the
same time, the torque can reach 1800Nm, the Y-axis stroke can be increased from
1250 to 1600mm, and the maximum speed of milling spindle can reach 8000r/min, while
the maximum of conventional CNC can only reach about 5000r/min. As long as the
operator is familiar with the performance of the equipment, the hydraulic valve
block similar complicated to that of Mathias is successfully proofed at one
time.
AAK
hydraulic valve block is praised by Mathias that it is the only one that can
match the German brand. Give it a try!
The hydraulic valve blocks designed and produced by
AAK not only has high reliability and small pressure loss to ensure that there
is no oil running between the channels, but also has compact structure, small
occupied space, simple oil circuit and easy pipe layout, so as to ensure the
high efficiency requirements of different actions of various actuator elements.
The valve block can control the valve, which is easy to adjust and operate. AAK
hydraulic valve block was designed and proofed successfully at one time within
1 month, which impressed the engineers of Samhydraulik company.
The vast majority of hydraulic valve block
manufacturers blindly proofed according to customer drawings, ignored working
conditions, and did not understand the internal structure and working principle
of hydraulic valve block. It is easy to cause hidden dangers in the hydraulic
system, and the problem cannot be found.
Justin left a message on AAK
website (www.aakindustry.com) asking is the power insensitivity of the
hydraulic system related to the hydraulic valve block? We replied that this is
difficult to judge because it is a system problem that needs to be checked one
by one. Justin emailed us the next day then we understood why he left such a
message.
Justin is from Samhydraulik in Italy. The power unit
of a hydraulic system developed by his company needs a hydraulic valve block.
Their engineers mentioned that the sensitivity of the power unit is the key and
that all components need to cooperate closely. Justin thought that as long as
the hydraulic valve block manufacturer strictly controlled the accuracy
according to the drawings, it could be easily done. After the hydraulic valve
block is finished, it is installed to test the hydraulic power unit. After the
oil pump is started, the instantaneous pressure supply at the oil outlet of the
power unit does not come up, and it just supply normal pressure after a few
minutes. After checking each component one by one, it is suspected that there
are hidden dangers in the hydraulic valve block. After detecting the hydraulic
valve block, there is no problem in the oil passage and channel of the
hydraulic valve block. Justin contacted the original hydraulic valve block manufacturer
for analysis and solution. The manufacturer said that the hydraulic valve block
was completely produced in accordance with the drawings of Samhydraulik company,
and the accuracy was within the required range, and the reason for problem was
unknown. Justin contacted several other hydraulic valve block manufacturers,
they all said that they could match the drawings, but not sure about the
problems of the hydraulic valve blocks.
We asked Justin to tell us
the working condition of the whole hydraulic system and the picture of the oil
circuit running direction of the hydraulic valve blocks of the original
manufacturer. AAK engineers have ideas after 3 aspects of comparative analysis.
We told Justin that if your engineer determines that the problem lies in the
hydraulic valve block, we will send you two samples of our hydraulic valve
blocks to test your hydraulic system. Three days after receiving the samples, Justin
informed that the instantaneous pressure supply at the oil outlet of the power
unit was normal with AAK hydraulic valve blocks. Their engineers were surprised
that AAK completed the design of the hydraulic valve block within 30 days and
successfully proofed at one time.
The problem of the hydraulic valve block lies in the
high integration of the valve block design and the tortuous oil circuit, which
will lead to high pressure loss and slow rise of system pressure. AAK engineers
improved the design of the hydraulic valve block. The newly designed hydraulic
valve block has no oil running between the channels, compact structure, small
occupied space and optimized oil circuit piping, which not only has high
reliability but also small pressure loss. AAK chief engineer has more than 20
years of technical experience. He is good at cross-sectional view, measurement
and perspective of hydraulic valve block design system, multi angle observation
of design process, hole connectivity, oil circuit optimization, and the escort
of MDTools 3D solid design and virtual manufacturing software and
high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland. Many manufacturers
do not know the problem of the hydraulic valve block. AAK can improve the
design and make a successful proofing at one time within 30 days. I think this
is the difference between AAK hydraulic valve block and its peers.
AAK hydraulic valve block, not blindly based on drawings,
but focused on the working principle, you are welcome to have a small try.
Connor is a
purchaser from a Russian hydraulic company. There has never been oil leakage
due to sealing in his previous purchases of hydraulic valve blocks. Some time
ago, a rated pressure up to 450bar hydraulic valve block let him suffer due to
the oil leakage of the hydraulic valve block. He communicated with the original
manufacturer for many times and debugged for 3 times, but the oil leakage
problem still cannot be solved. He then asked his other hydraulic valve block
suppliers, they all suggested Connor giving up, because the current sealing
technology cannot meet the pressure rating of 450bar hydraulic valve block.
Connor also
communicated with some new hydraulic valve block manufacturers online, and
gradually understood the shortage of sealing technology. The 90% of hydraulic
valve block manufacturers use the conventional sealing method of hexagon socket
plug and sealing combination gasket, which is suitable for hydraulic valve
blocks with rated pressure of 50-350bar only. For any over 350bar, this sealing
method does not work and they have to give up.
Can the sealing
problem on a hydraulic valve block with 450bar rated pressure really not be
solved? Connor still didn't give up. He found AAK hydraulic valve on B2B and came
across an article about AAK hydraulic valve block using Swiss sealing
technology to solve the oil leakage of hydraulic valve block. He left a message
on our website: can you really solve the problem of oil leakage of hydraulic
valve block with rated pressure above 450bar? Seeing this message, I realized
that he should have been cheated by other manufacturers before, so he doesn't
believe in the new hydraulic valve block manufacturers easily. We replied to
him, no matter how much we said, maybe you don't believe it. Simply put, you
directly order 1pc of hydraulic valve block according to your drawing. If the hydraulic
valve block produced by AAK still leaks oil, we will directly refund you the
fee of this testing order.
Maybe Connor has no
other choice or he sees hope, he agreed our suggestion. 14 days later, he
received AAK hydraulic valve block. 2 days later, the test result came out.
Their engineers deliberately pressurized it to 550bar, and no hidden danger of
oil leakage was found in AAK hydraulic valve block. He wondered why AAK
hydraulic valve block had no problem with even a rated pressure at 550bar?
The reason that AAK
hydraulic valve block can operate normally in the hydraulic system with the
pressure of 550bar is because of the introduction of new sealing technology and
MB Series Plug of KVT company in Switzerland. This plug mainly forms a solid
sealing surface after intermetallic extrusion in the way of expansion and bite,
so as to 100% avoid oil leakage of hydraulic valve block, fundamentally solve
the problem of high-pressure sealing of hydraulic valve block. At the same
time, it reduces pollution, so that the hydraulic valve block is more stable.
This is also why Connor recognized the quality of AAK hydraulic valve block.
AAK hydraulic valve
block, superior sealing, zero leakage, you can also have a small try.
Dimon
is a new buyer of a hydraulic equipment manufacturing company in the United
States. In the second half of last year, he purchased 100 hydraulic needle
valves from an old supplier. After receiving the goods, the hydraulic needle
valves were installed on the equipment. A few months later, some users
complained that the pressure supply of some equipment was insufficient. Their
technicians judged that the radial jamming of the valve spool of the hydraulic needle
valve resulted in no flow regulation, which would lead to the failure of the
power unit. The hydraulic needle valves need to be replaced with new ones as
soon as possible to eliminate user complaints. His boss is not very satisfied that
problem happened on even such a small number purchasing of hydraulic needle
valves.
Dimon
is confused why the hydraulic needle valve supplier who had cooperated for 2
years would have such quality problems. He sent some problematic hydraulic needle
valves back to the factory. The manufacturer replied that the accuracy of these
hydraulic needle valves met the standard, but a small deviation in the size of
the valve spool was caused by the deviation of the assembler. At that time,
several valves were assembled at the same time in the assembly workshop, and a
few deviations were difficult to avoid. Dimon realized that even the original
manufacturer replaced the hydraulic needle valves with new ones, it still can
not solve the problem of the radial jamming of the valve spool for 100%. He was
afraid that if there were more user complaints, could he keep his job during
the probation period?
Dimon decided to find a new supplier of hydraulic needle
valves. He left a message on our website: Can you solve the problem of radial
jamming of the valve spool of hydraulic needle valve? At first, it was hard to
answer this question. After several rounds of communication, we learned the
story of his purchase of these 100 hydraulic needle valves. After reviewing the
working conditions and drawings of hydraulic needle valve from Dimon, as well
as the pictures of hydraulic needle valves from the original supplier, AAK
suggested him trying samples directly. 20 days later, AAK sent 10 samples of
hydraulic needle valves made per his requirements.
Two months later, Dimon sent an email to us saying
that he selected 5 factories from more than 20 hydraulic needle valve
manufacturers to make samples. Only the samples from AAK and another factory
did not have the problem of radial jamming of valve spool during the test. Their
engineers suggested that AAK should be selected to replace the 100 hydraulic needle
valves with potential quality problems, because the parameters of AAK hydraulic
needle valve are the most stable. The boss knew that he dared to develop new
suppliers and solved the hidden quality problems, although the probation period
is not over yet, Dimon was approved to become a regular in advance. He told us this
story privately.
To do this hydraulic needle valve well, it needs not
only high-precision equipment, but also need to avoid personal assembly errors.
AAK has technical workers with more than 10 years of operation and production
experience, combined with advanced high-precision honing machines, CNC machine
tools and other production equipment, as well as advanced three coordinate
instrument, cylindricity instrument, profilometer and other testing equipment.
The most important thing is that AAK has specially assigned personnel to
control the assembly process of hydraulic needle valves, so as to avoid partial
mixture wrong assembly caused by cross assembly by multiple people, especially
in the assembly process of similar valve bodies. Many factories arrange cross
assembly in order to save personnel and improve efficiency, resulting in wrong
assembly of accessories. This assembly process of AAK hydraulic needle valves
is unique in the industry. Maybe there is no second factory in Ningbo, the
hometown of hydraulic valves to do this like us.
AAK hydraulic needle valves, no radial jamming of
valve spool problem, welcome to have a try!
AAK
uses the DMG five axis machining center imported from Germany, which improves
the stability and accuracy by 30%. Less than 5% of the hydraulic valve block manufacturers
in the domestic industry are equipped with this set of equipment. After
suffering losses elsewhere, an American customer went back to AAK after 45 days
to place the order for hydraulic valve blocks.
Last
December, I received an inquiry from American customer Joshua about a hydraulic
valve block. At that time, I was a little surprised to see the accuracy
requirements of the hydraulic valve block. The accuracy was 5% higher than that
of HydraForce series. This was not a small challenge, but I was still
confident. The next day, I sent quotation to Joshua directly. Joshua then said
that it was 12% higher compared with other hydraulic valve block manufacturers,
he could not place an order with AAK. After 45 days, Joshua asked us whether
the last quotation of hydraulic valve block was still valid. If the original
price is maintained, he will place the order for the hydraulic valve block.
For
the sincerity of cooperation, Joshua also frankly told why he moved the
hydraulic valve block order to AAK. The original hydraulic valve block
manufacturer made samples for two times, and the parameters of each hydraulic
valve block were not very stable. Some hydraulic valve block sample had very
good accuracy, while others were very poor, which wasted 3 weeks of time.
Joshua also checked with other manufacturers. All of them are not confident to
achieve the accuracy that is 5% higher than that of HydraForce series. Another
2 weeks were wasted again. The customer was very angry that the order has been
placed for 5 weeks, but the sample of the hydraulic valve block still could not
be approved. Joshua felt that only AAK can make the sample successfully at one
time. Even if it is 12% more expensive, it is acceptable. Aware of Joshua's
dilemma, we specially spare a high-precision DMG five axis machining center
lathe to arrange the proofing of this hydraulic valve block. A week later, AAK
sent the hydraulic valve block samples. After 10 days, there was still no feedback
from Joshua about the hydraulic valve block samples. We asked Joshua to know
that he was also waiting nervously.
Until
Joshua's email last week, we know that his customer was very surprised that the
accuracy of this hydraulic valve block sample not only exceeded 5% that of the HydraForce
series, but the parameter stability of AAK hydraulic valve block was also more
than 30% higher than that last time. Frankly, we were not surprised by this
data, because more than one customer was surprised by the accuracy parameters
of AAK hydraulic valve blocks.
The
reason why the accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve block exceeds 5% of HydraForce
series is that it firstly benefits from the continuous updating of the
equipment. When the vast majority of hydraulic valve block manufacturers update
from CNC lathe to domestic Mazak machine tool, AAK introduces DMG five axis
machining center produced in Germany. The domestic Mazak machine tools have
weak rigidity, poor stability and low precision after long-term processing. The
lathe of DMG five axis machining center is equipped with transverse sliding
seat of stiffened cast iron column, which provides the machine with high
precision and high rigidity. It adopts the latest numerical control technology DMGEROline
® control panel, 19" display and 3D software, and guarantee the maximum
working speed, accuracy and reliability.
AAK
hydraulic valve block, high precision, advanced equipment, you can also have a
try!
Andy
is our old hydraulic valve customer in the United States. The hydraulic
cartridge valves he purchased from AAK in previous years always has a standard
of machining surface roughness around 0.8μm. In February last year, Andy sent
an email to inform us that in the future, the machining surface accuracy of their
hydraulic cartridge valves will be improved to within 0.3μm. AAK engineers
believe that based on the current equipment system, it is very difficult to
improve the machining surface accuracy of hydraulic cartridge valves to 0.3μm. It
is also very difficult to find such a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer in
Ningbo.
I
know that AAK has only two options, either give up the business of his
hydraulic cartridge valves or accept his accuracy standard. This is the first
time I have faced the choice of "standing in line" since I joined the
hydraulic valve industry. The cooperation with Andy has always been trustworthy,
pleasant and efficient. AAK doesn't want to give up such customers. After two
rounds of communication internally, AAK technical team has not reached a
consensus. I have to call my retired master and hope to hear his opinions.
My
master told me that this is a rare opportunity to catch up with and surpass the
accuracy of international hydraulic cartridge valves. The roughness of the
working surface under 0.3μm is rare in China, but some European hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers have this strength. AAK must first start with the
equipment, and then select the most experienced operators from the factory for
special aircraft training, so as to have the opportunity to compete with those
top European hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. American HARDINGE
precision CNC lathe is worthy of a try. At present, none of the domestic hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers have this equipment.
After
contacting the equipment manufacturer, AAK technical team took the hydraulic
cartridge valves produced for Andy before to the equipment factory, and asked
the engineer of the equipment manufacturer to go directly to the machine for
proofing. A week later, we sent the hydraulic cartridge valve samples to Andy
and asked them to test the accuracy parameters. Two weeks later, Andy informed that
the previous hydraulic cartridge valve accuracy test was completed twice. This
time, AAK hydraulic cartridge valve was tested 4 times, and the accuracy fully
met the standard. At the same time, he told me that after receiving the
accuracy improvement notice, the other 3 domestic hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers directly gave up, and only AAK dared to test the sample and
succeeded in one test. He was very surprised.
The
machine tool to be introduced by AAK has advantages in accuracy. The parameters
of the machine tool: spindle speed up to 6000r/ min, spindle radial run out ≤ 0.0008mm, positioning accuracy (X/Z) ≤ 0.005mm/0.008mm, repeated positioning
accuracy (X/Z) ≤
0.003mm/0.005mm, and machining surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.3μm. Turning roundness ≤ 0.4μm. Turning cylindricity ≤ 0.1μm. The spindle is a spring collet
to clamp the workpiece, with large clamping area and stable processing. It is
equipped with FANUC21i-T numerical control system with high precision.
Now
this HARDINGE machine tool is almost the special equipment for the orders from Andy.
The order volume that Andy awarded to AAK has also increased by nearly 60%. He
said that AAK hydraulic cartridge valve has surpassed many European factories
in terms of precision.\
AAK
hydraulic cartridge valves, with precision surpassing that of Europe, you are
welcome to have a small try!
Cuenca is a senior purchaser of AGRIA
company in Spain. The boss is very satisfied with his purchasing work. Two
years ago, AGRIA company developed a hydraulic equipment, and there were
complaints after sales for more than half a year. The main problem was that the
starting force of the hydraulic system would be insufficient, which was caused
by the increase of internal leakage of the hydraulic check valves in the
equipment. After Cuenca contacted the original hydraulic check valve
manufacturer, the manufacturer said that some hydraulic check valves may have
deviation during assembly, and he was willing to replace the hydraulic check
valves with large leakage with new ones. Cuenca thought it was completely
solved after replacement, but what surprised him was that less than a year
after the new hydraulic check valve was replaced, the same problem occurred
again. The boss was very disappointed with his purchase of hydraulic check
valves this time.
The
manufacturer of the original hydraulic check valves still said that except for replacing
the hydraulic check valves, there is no other way. Cuenca began to worry that
if the same problem happened a third time, it would be too shameless. To be
safe, he began to look for a new supplier of hydraulic check valves and began
to test samples. At the same time, he also wanted to know why the hydraulic
check valves produced by the original manufacturer leaked. In this way, Cuenca contacted AAK hydraulic
valve.
After several rounds of communication
with Cuenca, we learned the story between him and the original manufacturer of
hydraulic check valves, and suggested him to send us the hydraulic check valves
with problem and provide us the drawings of hydraulic check valves at the same
time. AAK engineer disassembled the hydraulic check valves of the original
manufacturer and found that there were wear marks on the sealing line on the
surface of the poppet valve. When the pressure oil reversely enters the
hydraulic check valve, the cone cannot strictly seal the oil and cause leakage,
and some oil flows out of the oil inlet. After receiving AAK's analysis, Cuenca
asked us to make 4 samples of hydraulic check valves according to his drawings.
Our engineers designed a new hydraulic check valve
according to the service frequency and working conditions of the equipment,
replacing the cone valve with the ball valve. The cone valve is prone to
fatigue creep deformation and wear after working for a long time, resulting in
a gap between the valve sleeve and the cone, resulting in leakage. The outer
circle of the ball valve can contact the inner taper ring line, and the
connecting hole can be closed to reduce the leakage caused by wear. Cuenca was
surprised that AAK dared to take the initiative to modify the drawings of their
hydraulic check valves, and expected to see the sample performance of AAK
hydraulic check valves.
Two months later, AAK sent samples
of the newly designed hydraulic check valves. A year later, Cuenca said that
the hydraulic equipment equipped with AAK hydraulic check valves had no
complaints about startup. He was glad that the original hydraulic check valve
manufacturer replaced it again and again, which could only guarantee the
service for half a year, but AAK solved the problem one time. In only 2 months,
AAK helped solve the problem of leakage in the hydraulic check valves that
plagued Cuenca for nearly 2 years. Cuenca would rather give up the original supplier
who has cooperated for many years than choose AAK hydraulic check valves.
AAK hydraulic check valve, valve spool
design is unique and different, welcome to have a small try!
Last Friday, we received 3 emails from Niki, they
are all the order for a same hydraulic check valve, but only the ship to
address is different. It is the first time for their company to place the orders
of 1,500 hydraulic check valves at one time. Niki is a purchaser of a Dutch
hydraulic equipment company. Last year, a boarding bridge equipment needed
hydraulic check valves. At that time, he planned to purchase from old
suppliers. Unexpectedly, after dozens of hydraulic check valves from the
initial samples were installed on the boarding bridge and tested for less than
a month, the boarding bridge will slowly decline automatically. The engineer
judged that the hydraulic system did not maintain the pressure, and it is
likely that some hydraulic check valves leaked. However, after disassembling
and inspecting the hydraulic check valves, it was found that the matching clearance
accuracy of the valve spool and valve sleeve was within the normal range, and
there was no jamming.
Niki contacted the hydraulic check valve
manufacturer, and manufacturer also didn't know why the hydraulic check valve
leaked, so they could only replace those leaking hydraulic check valves. Niki
is a little worried that if the leakage source of the hydraulic check valve is
not found and replaced blindly, there may be a bigger problem later. Niki was
not satisfied with the old supplier and had to start looking for new
manufacturers of hydraulic check valves again.
AAK received message from Niki on our website: what are the reasons for the leakage of
hydraulic check valves? I realized that there was a leak in the hydraulic check
valves purchased by Niki, but he hasn't found the root cause. After receiving
the drawings of hydraulic check valve and the working conditions of boarding bridge
equipment provided by Niki, we still can't 100% determine what caused the
leakage of hydraulic check valve. We suggest him send us one of the previously
leaked hydraulic check valves for analysis. After dismantling, our engineer is
90% sure to understand the root cause of the leakage, but still need to try
sample to make it 100% sure. Niki is also willing to allow AAK to make samples according
to his hydraulic check valve drawing.
One month later, we sent 12 samples of hydraulic
check valves to Niki and told him that the leakage of the hydraulic check
valves from original manufacturer should be caused by poor details in
production. There will be a certain gap between the cap and the thread of the valve
sleeve of the hydraulic check valve. How to seal this gap is not only the
detail but also the key, especially for the equipment with high working
conditions. AAK uses thread anaerobic adhesive, which can completely fill the
gap, enhance the sealing or retention force of mechanical connection
components, prevent thread loosening and leakage due to vibration between the
cap and valve sleeve of hydraulic check valves, and protect the joint from
corrosion. Few hydraulic valve manufacturers can operate in this detail of gap sealing. Niki learned about this
analysis, and replied that among more than 20 hydraulic check valve
manufacturers he contacted, only AAK analyzed the sealing details. He expected to
test the function of AAK hydraulic check valve samples.
The 3 consecutive emails for orders last Friday
should be indicating that the samples of AAK hydraulic check valves have passed
the test. Niki specifically stated in the email that the reason why he chose AAK
was that every detail of AAK hydraulic check valves was perfect and there was
no leakage, so he placed big orders.
AAK hydraulic check valves, focused on every detail,
you are warmly welcome to have a small try!
This morning, Robert sent an email asking about the
production time of 1,200 hydraulic check valves, which surprised me a little,
because in the past 2 years, he normally just placed small quantity trial
orders of hydraulic check valves. Robert is a purchaser of John Finlay company
in Australia. We met 2 years ago. A batch of hydraulic tamping machine
equipment of their company began to receive complaints again and again from the
previous year. After inspection, it was found that the hydraulic check valve in
the equipment did not maintain pressure. Robert contacted the original
hydraulic check valve manufacturer to find a solution. The manufacturer advised
that the working pressure and working frequency of the hydraulic tamping
machine may be too high, resulting in frequent collision between the ball valve
and valve seat of the hydraulic check valve, affecting the sealing effect. The only
solution is to replace the leaked hydraulic check valve. Although replacing the
hydraulic check valve is a heavy workload, Robert has no choice but to accept.
The trouble is that 6 months later, the same problem happened again. The
customer was very unhappy. The boss asked Robert to find a new supplier of
hydraulic check valve immediately.
Robert suggested purchasing hydraulic check valves
from AAK to replace those unqualified ones, because the durability test of AAK
hydraulic check valves was the most lasting among all of the samples from
different manufacturers at the beginning. At present, there is an equipment installed
with AAK hydraulic check valve, which has been used for 1 year but without any
abnormality. The boss thought that the price of AAK was more than 20% higher
and unacceptable, and asked Robert to look for a new manufacturer of hydraulic
check valves.
In the process of continuous screening, Robert selected 5 hydraulic check
valve manufacturers to try their samples. Basically, after half a year, these
hydraulic check valve samples had similar problems one after another. Robert
was at a loss. He once again suggested to the boss to purchase AAK hydraulic
check valves. After comparing so many hydraulic check valve manufacturers, none
of their samples can be used for more than 1 year under this working condition,
but the equipment installed with AAK hydraulic check valve has been used for
nearly 2 years, and there has been no failure to maintain pressure. If the
hydraulic check valve needs to be replaced every 6 months, the after-sales cost
is too high, which has far exceeded the 20% higher cost of the hydraulic check
valves. More importantly, it brings the reputation of unstable equipment
quality to users. After listening to Robert's analysis, the boss approved AAK
as the preferred supplier of their company for hydraulic check valves.
It took Robert 2 years to persuade his boss to place a large order with
AAK. He knew that the durability of AAK hydraulic check valve was more than
twice that of other suppliers, and the after-sales cost was also low. How can AAK
hydraulic check valve be durable under high pressure and high frequency use?
According to the working condition requirements and working frequency of their
company's equipment, AAK uses silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic ball as the ball
valve, which has twice the hardness than steel, lower thermal expansion
coefficient than steel ball, good roundness and small friction coefficient. It
can resist the corrosion of most chemicals and can still not be worn under the
condition of high pressure and high frequency use. The vast majority of
hydraulic check valves are steel balls. Because the price of silicon nitride
(Si3N4) ceramic balls is more than several times higher than that of ordinary
steel balls, it will not be considered for cost saving. However, AAK uses
special materials for special needs in combination with working conditions and
use frequency, especially what most hydraulic check valve manufacturers are
unwilling to do, but AAK likes this challenge most.
AAK hydraulic check valves, focused on meeting customer needs. You can
also give it a try!
Duden is from Lukas hydraulic
equipment company in Germany. We have cooperated for more than 2 years on hydraulic
check valves and hydraulic throttle valves. The order volume is small each
time, but the parameter requirements are very high. AAK never despised it because
of the small order quantity of the hydraulic check valves or hydraulic throttle
valves. At the end of last year, their company developed a new hydraulic unit.
Due to time constraints, Duden purchased hydraulic check valves and hydraulic throttle
valves from local hydraulic valve manufacturers in Germany. The technicians
found the original design defects after installing the integrated valve into
the equipment. The position of the hydraulic throttle valve next to the
hydraulic check valve is high, accounting for a little position of the motor,
which makes it difficult to install the motor.
Lukas engineers are a little
depressed. If the position of the hydraulic throttle valve is changed, the
whole oil circuit layout needs to be changed, but the power supply of the
hydraulic system will be affected after changing the oil circuit. What is more
troublesome is that there is not much time to redesign and proofing. The Engineers
asked Duden to contact some local hydraulic valve manufacturers to check if the
design size of the hydraulic throttle valve could be slightly adjusted so that
the motor could be installed.
Duden checked with several local
hydraulic valve manufacturers, all of them were not willing to make samples
because of small quantity of the hydraulic throttle valves. Duden tried to
purchase small-size hydraulic throttle valves from China to solve the
installation problem of the motor. Some Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers
said that they could make samples according to the requested size of their
hydraulic throttle valves, but the time needed was more than 30 days. Duden
couldn't accept this time and was more worried about the quality of hydraulic throttle
valves from these factories. Duden sent an email to AAK asking if we could make
several samples of hydraulic throttle valves in 5 days. In the past, the sample
time gave by Duden was usually flexible with more than 2 weeks. After asking, I
learned that their designers are facing embarrassment.
It is also too tight for us to make several
hydraulic throttle valves in only 5 days. I suggest Duden give us the overall
layout of the integrated valve block. Maybe our engineer has a solution.
According to the hydraulic schematic diagram provided by Duden and the specific
use of the hydraulic integrated valve block, AAK engineers analyzed it step by
step. Finally, it was found that if the hydraulic throttle valve and the
hydraulic check valve were designed in parallel, the functions of the two
valves were combined to form a hydraulic throttle check valve, which was
installed at the position of the hydraulic check valve, and the installation
hole of the hydraulic throttle valve was blocked with a plug. This not only
saves the redesign time of the hydraulic integrated valve block, avoids the
embarrassment that the motor can not be installed, but also has no impact on
the pressure supply of the hydraulic system. Their designer was surprised that
AAK used this idea to solve the pain point. He hoped that we could make the
samples to test as soon as possible.
AAK sent the newly designed
hydraulic throttle check valve to Duden. After installing the hydraulic throttle
check valve into the integrated valve block, the results were as described by AAK,
and the test was successful. The design engineers of Lukas company admire AAK
unique design scheme and production capacity greatly.
AAK hydraulic throttle check valve can efficiently
and timely solve problems for customers. Welcome to give it a try!
This Monday, Arthur sent an email to purchase 1,600 hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves at one time, which was a little unexpected. Arthur
came from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing company in Italy. He met with us at
the PTC exhibition in Shanghai 3 years ago. At that time, he communicated with
us for about half an hour. Then there were several inquiries for hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves and several trial orders for hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves. Last October, he suddenly sent an email saying that he had a client
in Ningbo who wanted to visit AAK hydraulic valve factory. We introduced in
detail a series of production links from raw material inspection and
warehousing to rough machining, finishing, process inspection, assembly of
valve body and spool, testing, packaging, warehousing, marking and shipping of
each part of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. After the visit, Arthur's client
said they were satisfied with the scale, equipment and management of AAK
factory and left. I wondered if this was really Arthur's client.
More than a month later after visiting the factory,
Arthur said that his company has developed a new hydraulic equipment, which
requires high-precision hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. AAK needs to quote
and make samples for testing as before. AAK sent 16 samples of hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves after 30 days. I still think that this one will be
the same as that one year ago, no big waves. I didn't understand that I made
the mistake of "I thought" until receiving the large order of 1,600
hydraulic threaded cartridge valves yesterday.
Today, I learned by email that it was not his client
who came to visit the factory last year, but his assistant who often stayed in
China. Before the company developed this hydraulic equipment, his assistant ran
to more than 30 hydraulic valve manufacturers in China, especially for this
special hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. AAK hydraulic valve has its own
advantages in equipment and extension of equipment and on-site detail
management. In particular, the component testing room of AAK is constant
temperature and humidity for 24 hours, which is very helpful for hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves with high precision requirements.
Because of the particularity of this hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve, the accuracy inspection of each component should be
completed in a specific environment. Some quality problems of the products of
many hydraulic valve manufacturers are just due to the deviation of the test
results caused by the instability of the test environment. In the view of many
factories, this may be a small detail, but AAK has done extremely rigorous
testing. His assistant has not found a second one in Ningbo who pays so much attention
to detail. That's why Arthur chose AAK to produce this big order of hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves, with much attention
on details, high standard and high inspection. Welcome to try a small order!
Logan
has been a purchaser of a hydraulic company in the United States for several
years, and the purchasing of hydraulic valves in China is also very smooth. But
recently, a high-precision hydraulic relief valve order worth more than $30,000
wasted him a lot of time. The original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer made
the samples twice, but was still not approved by the customer. His customer
understood that the original manufacturer was unable to meet the requirement of
0.3mm finish size allowance, and asked him to change the hydraulic relief valve
manufacturer to make samples for the third time. If the hydraulic relief valve sample
for the third time still cannot be approved, the customer can only cancel the
order. This order attracted the attention of his boss, who asked him to solve
the problem and get the sample of hydraulic relief valve approved at one time
within 20 days.
Five
days later, Logan consulted many hydraulic relief valve suppliers, and most
manufacturers said that they could not meet the standard of 0.3mm finishing
size allowance. Logan is a little worried. He looks for hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers everywhere on the Internet. He left a message on our AAK website:
how can we guarantee the finishing dimension allowance? All such messages are
basically for difficult problems encountered in the purchase of hydraulic
valves. After some communication, it is understood that the Logan was stuck on
the sample approval process of the hydraulic relief valve order, and he has
contacted many hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, but no solution has been
obtained.
I
suggested Logan try our sample directly, and let the test data to speak for
itself and this also saves time. Logan
doesn't seem to have a choice but to expect that maybe AAK hydraulic relief
valve can pass the test. A week later, AAK sent out 3 hydraulic relief valve
samples. Logan did not dare to send the samples to the customer directly after
receiving them, so he had to find a third party for testing before sending them
to the customer. Without incident, the customer approved AAK hydraulic relief
valve samples. His boss was also surprised that how a hydraulic relief valve
manufacturer found by Logan this time can solve the problem so quickly at one
time.
The
heat treatment process in the early stage is the first step of finishing the
size allowance. Most hydraulic relief valve manufacturers adopt local
quenching, so the heat treatment process of the workpiece is not easy to
control and may be deformed. As early as 6 years ago, AAK adjusted local
quenching to overall quenching. At the same time, vertical flow treatment must
be required for the hoisting mode in the process of quenching and tempering, so
as to minimize the influence of tissue stress and thermal stress on deformation
during workpiece heat treatment, so as to meet the requirements of dimensional
allowance for finishing.
Logan
cancelled the order with the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer without
hesitation and confirmed the order with AAK hydraulic valve in two rounds.
Logan privately told us that his customers like the hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers such as AAK very much. The customer pointed out that AAK should
be as the priority supplier for future inquiry of hydraulic relief valves. His
boss was also very satisfied with his ability to quickly solve problems this
time, and put higher and higher expectations on him.
AAK
hydraulic relief valves, strictly controls the size allowance of finishing to
ensure the accuracy of products. You can also have a small try!
Erik compared more than 20 hydraulic pilot pressure
control valve factories. No manufacturer can do the hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valves which can be used under high pressure above 450bar for more than
one year. AAK hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve passes the test
at one time, and there is no abnormality after one year of use.
Erik is from a German hydraulic equipment
manufacturer. In the first half of last year, the company needed to purchase a
special hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve with a working pressure
of more than 450 bar, a service life of more than one year and a durability of
more than 2 million times. The boss realized that it was some difficult to
purchase the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve this time, and asked
Erik and his colleague to purchase at the same time. Whoever successfully
purchased the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve first will be
promoted and raised. Erik is full of energy and keeps looking for hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve factories online and offline. He contacted more
than 20 new suppliers, including AAK hydraulic valve.
Most of the hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valve manufacturers replied that they need to be customized from the
beginning of materials, and it takes 25 days to sample this special hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve. Erik chose two factories to test the samples.
A month later, Erik received the samples and asked the engineer to test them.
The results failed, but the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve
obtained by his colleague passed the first test, which made Erik very
depressed. Fortunately, this is just in the test stage, the final effect depends
on the test results of the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve one
year later. Erik contacted AAK for the second time. He clearly informed that
the samples of hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves he selected in
the first round failed. For the first time, he did not choose AAK because AAK
needed 35 days. This time, he only asked AAK to make samples. Whether he can
win or not, he can only count on AAK. Because the material selection and
internal test of hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves need time,
Erik also understands the difficulties of making the samples. After 35 days, AAK
sent 6 samples of hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves.
Last week, almost a year after the hydraulic pilot operated
pressure control valve samples were sent, Erik sent an email to inform that AAK
hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve was the only sample that passed
2 million tests, and there was no abnormality after one year of use. Although
his colleague's sample passed the early test, it could not withstand the high
pressure above 450 bar for enough time, it leaked in less than a year. A few
days ago, the boss praised Erik's purchasing ability at the company conference,
and his dream of promotion and salary increase has also been realized.
Erik was surprised that why AAK hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve was normal after 1 year of use, while other
manufacturers surrendered early? The core of this hydraulic pilot operated pressure
control valve is material and heat treatment. AAK adopts 20CrNi2MoV high
carburizing bearing steel imported from Germany, combined with carburizing
pretreatment process, through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low
temperature tempering process, which is cooled to 650 ~ 700 ℃ and discharged after cooling to 450 ~ 500 ℃. The microhardness is 237 ~ 247 HV, and its wear resistance and
contact fatigue performance are increased by more than 3 times. After heat
treatment, the thermal stability and compressive strength of the material have
long been far ahead. Most manufacturers may choose right materials, but they
may not be able to do a good heat treatment.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated
pressure control valve, select and use good materials. You are welcome to have
a small try!
At the beginning of last year,
Lawrence sent an email to ask for help. He is a purchaser of a hydraulic
equipment company in Italy and has cooperated with AAK for 2 or 3 years. Almost
all of the orders are a small number of hydraulic check valves with high
requirements. When encountering problems, he always asks for help from AAK, and
AAK is also happy to help him. After several rounds of email communication, it
turned out that the power unit for controlling the hydraulic lifting column
produced by their company had a customer complaint 3 months after sales. Their
engineers found a leak on the valve block of the power unit, that is, around
the valve hole equipped with the hydraulic pilot operated
check valve. It is preliminarily judged that the
leakage should be caused by the wear of the seal of the hydraulic pilot operated
check valve. However, after dismantling the hydraulic pilot operated check
valve, it is found that the sealing ring is intact.
After Lawrence communicated with the
original manufacturer of hydraulic pilot operated check valve, they both
thought that there should be no problem with the hydraulic pilot operated check
valve or valve block, because the test data before shipping were qualified. The
leakage problem should be caused by the wrong operation of the installation
personnel of their company. Lawrence seemed to understand because it is true
that the test result of the hydraulic pilot operated check valve originally shipped
was OK. Lawrence asked their engineers to reinstall it. As a result, it worked
normally and everyone thought the problem had been solved. But 3 months later,
the same problem happened again, and the customer could not accept and
requested to return goods. The boss was very angry and asked Lawrence and the
engineer to completely solve the leakage problem of the hydraulic pilot operated
check valve. This is why Lawrence emailed to AAK for help.
AAK engineers analyzed according to
the valve block integration diagram and the drawing of hydraulic pilot operated
check valve provided by Lawrence. There is an assumption that the frequent
vibration of the power unit of the hydraulic lifting column affects the stability
of the installation of the hydraulic pilot check valve. Following this idea, it
is found that the hole depth of the threaded socket integrated with the valve
is not enough, which leads to the loosening of the jack position of the hydraulic
pilot operated check valve. This problem can only be solved by adjusting the
depth of the jack, increasing the thread torque of the hydraulic pilot operated
check valve and increasing the bonding area between the valve and the hole. The
next day I emailed Lawrence the idea of our engineer's. If we want to verify
this idea, we can only make samples. One month later, AAK sent the redesigned hydraulic
pilot operated check valve and integrated valve block to Lawrence.
Last week, Lawrence sent an email saying
that after the hydraulic pilot operated check valve and valve block redesigned
by AAK were installed on the equipment, so far, the hydraulic lifting column
has been used without abnormality. The customer was very satisfied that they
finally solved the leakage problem of the hydraulic pilot operated check valve
at one time. His boss also appreciated Lawrence for helping the company solve
the after-sales problem.
AAK hydraulic pilot
operated check valve is cleverly designed to easily solve the leakage problem.
Welcome to have a small try!
On the first day of March, Chris from an industrial solar energy company
in the United States sent an inquiry about the hydraulic check valves. This is
the first email from Chris to AAK. I'm not sure where she learned about AAK and
got the email address. After further communication, we knew that she wanted to
purchase total 1,100 hydraulic check valves of two styles. The next day, she sent
the detailed drawings and working condition requirements of the hydraulic check
valves to be purchased.
Chris needed us to quote urgently. She has contacted many hydraulic check
valve manufacturers, but the lead time can not meet her requirements, she hoped
that AAK hydraulic valve can ship as soon as possible. AAK engineer analyzed
her hydraulic check valve drawings and working condition requirements, and soon
matched the production procedure in AAK database. Coincidentally, this is the
same as the hydraulic check valve purchased by one of our Indian customers, but
only the sealing ring is different. Every time, the Indian customer always needs
goods urgently, and the quantity is sometime large and sometime small, so we
often produce some flexible stocks to meet the immediate demand of this Indian
customer.
After receiving her hydraulic check
valve drawings and working condition requirements, AAK offered the price and
7-day delivery time on the same day. Unexpectedly, Chris sent us the bank slip
for the full payment. In addition to surprise, we realized that this customer
were in urgent need of this batch of hydraulic check valves. We arranged to
send approval samples immediately, but the customer said that it was not necessary
to send the samples for approval, because the drawing parameters of the
hydraulic check valve provided by AAK were consistent with their needs. She
hoped that we can change the sealing rings and air freight the goods via TNT as
soon as possible at her expense. It is our principle that if customers treat us
with A, we will reward them with A + +. Our workshop organized people to
replace the sealing rings of hydraulic check valves immediately, and purchased
the master cartons as soon as possible, and shipped it in 3 days. When we sent
the shipping photos and airway bill of the hydraulic check valves to the customer,
she used 3 thanks to end the purchasing of the hydraulic check valves.
Without seeing the samples, but advance the full payment directly when
quote is just received, which is the first time I met. Although it is only a
small order of more than 5,000 US dollars, behind it is the customer's trust in
AAK hydraulic valve. In this era, the most expensive thing is not gold and
diamonds, but trust. Once the problem of trust is solved, business is a natural
thing. All things that can enhance trust should be done more and desperately,
which is what AAK hydraulic valve has always insisted on doing. If you do
something to enhance trust, you don't worry about having no customers.
AAK hydraulic valve builds confidence in good times and combs quality in
bad times. The more we face uncertainty, the more we should insist on doing the
right thing and try our best to enhance trust.
AAK hydraulic check valve is not only fast, but also stable. You are

Yesterday morning, a colleague
complained to me that he couldn't stand the Indian hydraulic valve customer.
After communication, I learned that this old customer had to bargain every time
when he placed the reorders, and he had asked for price reduction for 3 times.
This time, this colleague couldn't bear it. There is an old Chinese saying that
there is no need to bear it anymore. It seems to explain the legitimacy of the
actions: I can't stand it. I have to do so. In fact, what you do when you can't
bear it, whether it's right or wrong, good or bad, you shouldn't do it.
What is the goal of AAK hydraulic valve?
Isn't there more and more choice in the hydraulic valve industry? Specific to
everyone of AAK hydraulic valve is to avoid making themselves have no choice.
To be unbearable is to admit that you have fallen into a state of no choice.
Think about my colleague carefully. Why
didn't he have a choice? People often ask: is effort more important or choice
more important? It is said that when you have a choice, choice is more
important. If my colleague can insist on marketing like other colleagues and
has more than 3 old customers of hydraulic valves, is there a better choice? And when
you have no choice, hard work is important. In terms of specialty, adhere to
the output of professional contents in hydraulic valve, and move towards the
direction of technology and process; In terms of service, stick to the
direction of trust. Combine the two, you don't need to worry about having no
choice. In fact, there is another extension of this answer, that is, what is
the purpose of efforts? Just to make yourself more selective. What is the AAK
hydraulic valve effort for? In order to make ourselves have more choices to do
a good job of hydraulic valves.
AAK hydraulic valve
adheres to the choice of subdivided target customers, and serves customers well
with AAK hydraulic valve's distinctive advantages or distinctive technical
features. AAK hydraulic valve adheres to a group of people, a lifetime and one
thing, so that each user can make good use of AAK hydraulic valve. AAK
hydraulic valve adheres to the principle of integrity, does a good job in the
business of AAK hydraulic valve, and sincerely treats every customer who
purchases hydraulic valves from AAK. Let more customers use good hydraulic
valves with real materials without wasting money.
I told my colleague
that you should treat the client as your girlfriend. For example, she offered
to break up with you today, and you gave her your last speech. If she
understands your mind, she will come back. If she doesn't come back, it means
she's not suitable for you.
He sent an email
to the Indian hydraulic valve customer: when you asked a price reduction of
this hydraulic valve for the first time, and I gave you 5%. AAK treats the
quotation of each hydraulic valve in good faith, and does not falsely quote the
price, and does not arbitrarily quote the price, which is an expression of
dishonesty in itself. For the second time you reduced the price of this
hydraulic valve, I gave you 2%. This 2% is my business commission, that is to
say, for the second order of hydraulic valves, I serve you free of charge. I
gave you another 2% of your third hydraulic valve order. I told the finance
that I would pay for the 2% price difference myself, because I had to complete
the annual business key performance indicators (KPI). Your 4th order of
hydraulic valve will cut my price again. I not only don't earn a penny, but
also pay for the keeping of an unprofitable business. I have to eat, too. I
have no food to eat. How can I serve you? I hope you can take care of me to eat,
so I have the confidence to serve you well.
Surprisingly,
today, this Indian hydraulic valve customer placed an order at the original
first price.
AAK hydraulic
valve is not only different, but also miracles. You can also have a try.
AAK
introduced HARDINGE precision CNC lathe, and the machining surface accuracy of hydraulic
relief valves was improved to 0.3μm, which can not be reached by nearly 95% of
hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo. After comparing the parameters of different
factories, a German customer found that only AAK meets their requirements for PO
confirmation.
Fred,
a hydraulic valve purchaser from Brandenburg, Germany, is in urgent need of
purchasing a hydraulic relief valve for a forklift recently. This hydraulic
relief valve has a very high precision requirement. The machining surface
roughness of conventional valve is generally around 0.8μm, but this one needs
to reach 0.3μm, the precision of which is nearly 3 times higher. Fred contacted
all his hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, but none of them could achieve an
accuracy of 0.3μm. It is difficult for Fred to find a solution.
Fred
decided to try through B2B. He contacted nearly 10 hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers online. Two said they could try it, but they are not sure for
100% success, because they had never made such a high-precision hydraulic
relief valve. It seems that Fred has no good choice and asked them to try
samples. Three weeks later, due to the insufficient accuracy and stability of
the hydraulic relief valve, the customer did not approve the samples from these
two manufacturers and asked Fred to re-proofing. Fred had to find other new
manufacturers of hydraulic relief valves.
Fred
saw AAK hydraulic valve on B2B and left a message on our website (www.aakindustry.com):
can you make the hydraulic relief valves with accuracy of 0.3μm? I noticed that
he browsed AAK website for about half an hour. He should have encountered
problem on accuracy. We reply that it depends on the parameter index of the
hydraulic relief valve and the working condition requirements. After receiving
his drawing, our engineer confirmed that we can reach the accuracy of 0.3μm of
this hydraulic relief valve and there may be no 3rd factory who can
meet this requirement in Ningbo. If any doubt, we can make samples to test directly.
Fred
accepted AAK suggestion and paid a sample fee of $1,300.00. Two weeks later, AAK
sent the samples of the hydraulic relief valve. After testing, Fred informed that
AAK hydraulic relief valve was praised by the customer. Not only did the
accuracy of the machined surface meet the standard, but the upper and lower
deviation was also very small. While the samples of hydraulic relief valve from
last two manufacturers are not stable, some with 0.3μm, some with 0.4μm, or
even 0.6μm. Only after comparison, the customer realized that AAK hydraulic
relief valve is really high precision, so they have to admire it.
The
roughness accuracy of the machined surface within 0.3μm is always the hard
index of AAK. We have introduced the American HARDINGE precision CNC lathe,
which gives us the most powerful support in terms of accuracy. The spindle
speed of the machine tool is up to 6000r/min, the radial runout of the spindle ≤ 0.0008mm, the positioning accuracy
(X/Z) ≤
0.005mm/0.008mm, the repeated positioning accuracy (X/Z) ≤ 0.003mm/0.005mm, and the roughness of
the machined surface Ra ≤
0.3μm. Turning
roundness ≤ 0.4μm. Turning cylindricity ≤ 0.1μm. At the same time, we upgraded its fixture,
with large clamping area and stable processing. Although there are no 2
identical leaves in the forest, there are 2 hydraulic relief valves with the
same precision in AAK.
AAK
hydraulic relief valve with accuracy up to 0.3μm, you can also have a small
try!
Over the past 2 years,
Peter, who is from ST hydraulic equipment manufacturing company, has been very
smooth in purchasing hydraulic valves in Ningbo. He and I often have some communication
via emails, but there is no cooperation yet due to the high price. A batch of hydraulic
directional control valves he purchased last year had problems. Six months after
shipment, the customer found that the hydraulic system could not operate
because the valve spool of the hydraulic directional control valve was stuck,
and asked ST company to solve it within 30 days. Peter communicated with the
original manufacturer of this hydraulic directional control valve but no gain.
The manufacturer thought that the hydraulic oil was not clean or there were
problems in installation, because their hydraulic directional control valves
passed the test before shipping.
The boss asked Peter to
check with other manufacturers and be sure to solve customer complaints within
30 days. Most manufacturers advised that they have no existing stocks that are
exactly same as this hydraulic directional control valve, and they are also not
willing to produce it especially for such a small quantity. Some manufacturer
advised that they can customize it for Peter, but it will take more than 50
days and also costs a lot. Two weeks passed but still no solution, which makes
Peter haggard.
Peter thought of AAK
and emailed us to ask if there was a hydraulic directional control valve of the
same model, and the faster the delivery, the better. After reading this email,
I understood that there was a problem with the hydraulic directional control
valves purchased by Peter. After further communication, I learned that the
valve spool of the hydraulic directional control valve he purchased this time
was easy to be stuck and complained by customer. According to Peter's drawings
and working condition requirements, AAK engineers conducted comparative
analysis, and later found that the control principle and size of this hydraulic
directional control valve are consistent with one of AAK's existing stock, except
that the design method is different.
I immediately answered
Peter that AAK had 100 hydraulic directional control valves in stock. At the
same time, I emailed the drawings of AAK hydraulic directional control valves
and asked Peter and his engineers to verify whether AAK hydraulic directional
control valves met their requirements. The next day, Peter said that their
engineers thought AAK hydraulic directional control valve could not be used
because some designs were fundamentally inconsistent. I suggested to him: if you
want to solve the customer complaint within 30 days, perhaps purchasing this
hydraulic directional control valve is the best choice. To believe in the
analytical ability of AAK, you should try our hydraulic directional control
valves first. If it really cannot be used, AAK shall bear all expenses for
goods return. Peter has no choice and asked AAK to send 24 hydraulic
directional control valves.
A week later, Peter
said that the hydraulic directional control valves sent by AAK was not only
easy to install, but also fully met the working requirements of their company's
hydraulic equipment. Their engineers said twice in a row: incredible,
incredible. His customer is very satisfied with this quick after-sales. Peter
spent 2 weeks looking for the hydraulic directional control valves, but no gain.
Why did AAK finish it 1 week after analysis? That's because:
AAK hydraulic
directional control valve has two absolute advantages and has already surpassed
its domestic counterparts:
1. AAK has a
high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland and various
independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by itself, which eliminates human
errors and avoids valve spool stuck and other faults.
2. The independent
professional R & D team, combined with unique R & D technology, has
realized the personalized customization demand of hydraulic directional control
valve, which can not be achieved by 95% of domestic peers in China.
Peter told me privately
that his boss asked him to send samples of their other hydraulic directional
control valves previously purchased elsewhere to AAK for quotation. Even if the
price is a little expensive, they should still choose more stable hydraulic
valves from AAK. They not only admire AAK professional analysis ability, but
also AAK ability to solve difficulties for customers in time.
AAK
hydraulic directional control valve is professional and attentive. It can solve
problems for you in time. You can also have a small try.
Some time ago, an old customer in the United States
needed us to sign a confidentiality agreement to develop a new hydraulic relief
valve. The drawings of the hydraulic relief valve were sent 1 month after the
confidentiality agreement was signed. The customer requested that if we were
not able to develop it, they would witness us destroy the drawings and
documents of the hydraulic relief valve by video. It's the first time for this
customer to be so formal.
After receiving the drawings of hydraulic relief valve,
we knew that it was to match with a set of aerospace equipment developed by a
world top 500 enterprise in the United States. AAK engineers reviewed the
drawings for 3 days and still didn't write the sample program. This hydraulic
relief valve is not only small in size, but also has material requirements,
machining accuracy requirements and use frequency requirements that exceed the
parameter requirements of the hydraulic relief valves we have seen. We
estimated that the overall development cost will not be less than 20,000 US
dollars, and the success rate will be about 10%.
When we mentioned the development cost and
difficulty to the customer, the customer's answer is: now I'll give you 30,000
dollars and give you 1 year of time. If the development is successful, you can
wait for the order of hydraulic relief valve. If the development fails, this
$30,000 will be deducted from the payment for AAK in the future. That’s to say
that the customer will prepay for the development cost of the hydraulic relief
valve, but if it fails, we will need to refund it by deducting from the future
payment gradually.
I did not hesitate to reply to the email and was
willing to try to develop this hydraulic relief valve. Our engineer joked that
next, it is estimated that he will lose a layer of skin. If it fails, it may be
not only a waste of tens of thousands of dollars in development costs, but also
the loss of his own job. I told him that the success of the hydraulic relief
valve development would be counted as the contribution of the technical team, and
the failure would be counted as mine, because I can't fail to live up to the
customer's support for our development.
Some people in AAK can not understand how this could
be a kind of support. Maybe he didn't think about a question, that is, what
would the mentality of the technical team be without customer support? Behind
these are two completely different ways of thinking. One is that if you haven't
done it yet, think about failure first, think about whether there is a bottom
plan first, and if not, don't do it. There is also a way of thinking, which is
to think about how to start first. If conditions permit, start working first.
The difference between these two ways of thinking is
not just the difference between conservative and radical, but whether people
are the key factor to create value. With the starting money, the hard work of
the technical team and the best logistics support of AAK, the probability of
successful development of hydraulic relief valve may be high.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, no matter how difficult
it is, just do it first. You are welcome to give it a try.
Over the past year, Jerome has
purchased more than 20 batches of different types of hydraulic valves of test
orders from more than 10 hydraulic valve
manufacturers in Ningbo, including AAK. Finally, he
chose to place the large order of hydraulic flow control valves with AAK, because
the packaging details of AAK made him think that the quality of AAK hydraulic
flow control valves is the most reliable.
Jerome is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Italy. He sent an email last week to purchase 2,500 hydraulic flow control
valves. I was surprised because Jerome always purchased small orders before.
After e-mail communication, it was learned that Jerome has purchased more than
20 batches of different types of hydraulic valve test orders from more than 10
hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo in the past year. There are always some
problems, such as time delay and communication delay, especially the packaging
of the test order was criticized by his boss.
The quality defect of the hydraulic
flow control valves purchased last time was complained to the boss by the
company's installation engineer. During the assembly process, the installation
engineer found that several hydraulic flow control valves could not be screwed
into the socket at all, mainly due to obvious bumps at the threads of the
hydraulic flow control valves. Jerome requires the original hydraulic flow
control valves to be replaced. The manufacturer believes that each hydraulic
flow control valve has been pressure tested before leaving the factory and shipped
only after it is qualified. The bump was caused by the carelessness of their
installers. The installer showed the boss of the damaged package photos to
reveal the reason. Some of the packing boxes of the hydraulic flow control
valves are deformed, some are broken, and even some of the inner packing poly bags
are broken. Those hydraulic flow control valves with bumps were improperly
packaged and protected during transportation. Jerome is helpless because of the
factory's prevarication. Fortunately, this is just a trial order.
Jerome thought of the packaging details
of each trial order of AAK. Only the packaging of AAK was different from that
of other hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo. At that time, it was only the
trial order that he didn't pay attention to the packaging details of AAK. Now
he saw the problems caused by improper packaging during transportation from
other hydraulic valve manufacturers. He realized that only each trial order of
AAK, the packaging received was intact.
Later, I told him that because the quantity of
trial orders was small, most of them were delivered by express, and it is
unavoidable that the parcels will be bumped. AAK will inspect each hydraulic
flow control valve separately when leaving the factory. Only the qualified
hydraulic flow control valves are put into the bubble bag and then into the
corrugated box with the right size, so that there is no extra room for the
hydraulic flow control valves to move in the inner package. Then put several
small cartons into customized 5-layer corrugated cartons, so that there is no extra
space around, which can not only save the transportation cost of customers, but
also avoid the collision of hydraulic flow control valves during the
transportation. Then, the outer box is reinforced with herringbone packing
belt, and pasted with the mark of fragile and handle with care to remind the
express personnel. For express delivery exceeding 10kgs, wooden boxes are used
for protection. Usually, it is difficult for peers to think of these small
details in the packaging of the trial order, and AAK has always pay attention
to even the small details of all links of the hydraulic flow control valves.
AAK hydraulic flow control valves, care about
every small detail, you are welcome to give it a try!
George comes from a
hydraulic valve company in Germany. He likes to choose old suppliers to place
orders. Some time ago, he placed an order of hydraulic pressure control valve
with machining allowance of 0.3mm with an old supplier. After 3 proofing, his
customer still did not approve the samples of the hydraulic pressure control
valve. George was very angry. Before ordering this hydraulic pressure control
valve, he confirmed the parameters with the manufacturer several times,
especially the machining allowance of 0.3mm. The manufacturer guaranteed no
problem. Unexpectedly, the accuracy error of the hydraulic pressure control
valve sample was 10% higher, and even after revising samples for 3 times, it
still can not meet the machining allowance of 0.3mm.
George has to face
the technical shortcomings of the old manufacturer, the sample pushing of the
customer, and the situation of no suitable hydraulic pressure control valve
manufacturer to make samples. He contacted the all the hydraulic valve
manufacturers cooperated in the past, but none of them was able to make a
hydraulic pressure control valve with a machining allowance of 0.3mm. He kept
looking for a new hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer online and came
across AAK hydraulic valve on B2B. George left a message on our website I saw
AAK article introducing the hydraulic valve with machining allowance of 0.3mm.
We have a hydraulic pressure control valve requiring machining allowance of
0.3mm. Can you sample it?
For those customers
who directly require to make samples like this, basically, they encountered the
sample failure from other hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturers. After
communication, we know that his old supplier has failed to deal with the 0.3mm
finishing hydraulic pressure control valve samples for 3 times. After checking
George's hydraulic pressure control valve drawings and various parameter
descriptions, AAK engineers confidently informed that the sample could be
successful at one time. George may think that only AAK can help him solve the
problem. He directly paid a proofing fee of $1,200.00 and asked us to send the
hydraulic pressure control valve samples within 3 weeks. We appreciated
George's frankness and asked the workshop to cooperate fully. After 15 days, we
successfully sent the samples of hydraulic pressure control valves. On the
third day after George received the samples, he told us that the machining
accuracy of AAK hydraulic pressure control valve not only met the requirement
of machining allowance of 0.3mm, but also increased by 5%, which made him
admire very much.
In order to ensure
the accuracy of finish machining size allowance, the heat treatment process is
the most critical step. At present, most hydraulic pressure control valve
manufacturers adopt local quenching, the workpiece heat treatment process is
not easy to control, and most of them are easy to deform. As early as 6 years
ago, AAK adjusted local quenching to overall quenching. At the same time,
vertical flow treatment must be required for the hoisting mode in the process
of quenching and tempering, so as to minimize the influence of the tissue
stress and thermal stress of the workpiece heat treatment on the deformation,
so as to meet the dimensional allowance requirements of finish machining.
The next day,
George decided to cancel the order of the hydraulic pressure control valves
with the old manufacturer and told me that AAK hydraulic valve is his old
supplier now. Maybe he meant to tell me that his hydraulic pressure control
valves will be purchased from AAK in the future.
AAK hydraulic
pressure control valves, the finish machining accuracy is 5% higher than the
requirements of German customer. You can also have a small try!
One morning last month, Antonio emailed us that there
was a problem with AAK hydraulic directional control valves purchased some time
ago, and a problem was found in the factory commissioning of the bending
machine. The starting pressure of the hydraulic system of the bending machine
will suddenly increase. Their engineers think it is caused by the instability
of the hydraulic direction control valves and ask us to replace it. I'm totally
confused. Because this hydraulic directional control valve is produced and
inspected in full accordance with the parameters provided by Antonio, and the
parameters of the hydraulic directional control valve are approved in the
commissioning stage of the bending machine.
Antonio is from Prada Nargesa company in Spain. He
has cooperated with AAK on hydraulic directional control valves for several
years. This is the first complaint from him. In the sample stage, Antonio
informed that this hydraulic direction control valve was used in the hydraulic
system of the bending machine produced by his company. It was noted that the
bending tonnage was required to be 400 tons, the maximum bending length was 6
meters, and the bending accuracy was +/- 0.3°. The pressure and accuracy
requirements of the hydraulic direction control valve were very high. After our
internal discussion, we found the problem strange.
AAK engineer asked Antonio to send a video of the
working condition of the hydraulic system of the bending machine for us to
check what the problem is. Through the video, we found that there was a problem
about the installation position of the needle valve of the integrated valve
block of the hydraulic system and the position of the hydraulic directional
control valve. It was preliminarily judged that the pressure regulation mode of
the hydraulic system of the bending machine is not correctly designed, and this
hidden danger will come out after more than 8 hours of continuous test run. But
the designers of their company didn't agree with our proposal and thought we
were shifting the responsibility.
I suggest Antonio give us 30 days to redesign the
integrated valve block. If there are still problems after installation, AAK is
willing to bear all costs. Considering that these bending machines are in a
hurry to ship, it will take longer time if purchasing new hydraulic directional
control valves, moreover it is not guaranteed that the new hydraulic directional
control valves will be no problem, Antonio reluctantly agreed with AAK
proposal. After 25 days, AAK sent out the integrated valve block with hydraulic
directional control valve, which was installed and debugged for more than 8
hours. Everything of the bending machine was normal, and their designers had to
affirm it.
AAK professional engineers designed the pressure
regulation of the hydraulic system of the bending machine as a modular type,
and rearranged the position of the needle valve and the hydraulic direction
control valve, so as to provide the proportional regulation function. At the
same time, the unloading circuit is simple and reliable. The safety pressure
valve is connected in parallel in the lower chamber of the oil cylinder to form
a double safety circuit to prevent the abnormal rise of the oil pressure in the
lower chamber from damaging the oil cylinder and pipeline, so as to ensure the
safety of the equipment.
Antonio told us privately that a similar situation
happened the year before last. The hidden danger of the original design of the
equipment is simply considered to be the problem of the supplier's hydraulic
directional control valve. Even they changed 3 manufacturers of hydraulic
directional control valves, problem was still not solved.
AAK hydraulic directional control valve can give
technical support that peers can't give. You are welcome to have a try!
Recently, the PO quantity of AAK hydraulic pressure
regulating valves has suddenly increased. Whether it is the trial order or the
daily order of wholesale customers, after the delivery date of the hydraulic
pressure regulating valves is determined, the customers begin to pay. Brooke is
my old customer. We have cooperated for more than 1 year. Most of his orders
are hydraulic pressure regulating valves. Yesterday, Brooke placed a new test
order and advanced the full amount. I asked him why he chose to give it to AAK.
Brooke replied to us as follows:
1. AAK gives as much as it promises, unlike other hydraulic
valve manufacturers who over promise but can't fulfill the commitment.
2. In the technology of hydraulic pressure
regulating valves, I trust AAK most.
3. In terms of service details, AAK is the best in
my current hydraulic valve supply system.
My first business with Brooke was also the hydraulic
pressure regulating valve. The first PO was a small order for the hydraulic
pressure regulating valve. The second time, there was an inquiry for a large
number of hydraulic pressure regulating valves, and we also made samples, but
Brooke told me that because the price of AAK was 17% higher than that of
another hydraulic pressure regulating valve manufacturer in Ningbo, so he
purchased it from another factory. I remember that I joked: if there is no
problem with the hydraulic pressure regulating valves you purchased, I will admire
you. At that time, he needed a hydraulic pressure regulating valve with high
pressure parameters. There may not be a third hydraulic pressure regulating
valve manufacturer in Ningbo who can meet this parameter.
As expected, Brooke said in an email last month that
he was trapped by another manufacturer of hydraulic pressure regulating valves
in Ningbo. After the goods arrived, the workshop technicians installed the
hydraulic pressure regulating valves and began to increase 20% of the rated
pressure for pressure test. After 24H, some hydraulic pressure regulating valves
leaked. However, in the approval stage, the samples of hydraulic pressure regulating
valves from this factory were up to standard. Brooke contacted the manufacturer
of the hydraulic pressure regulating valves, but manufacturer replied that there
was no stock to replace them. Brooke replaced the hydraulic pressure regulating
valves with samples from AAK originally, and there was no leakage problem under
the same working conditions. Finally, AAK adjusted the production schedule
specially and produced new goods for him, which completely solved the leakage
problem of the hydraulic pressure regulating valves.
I told Brooke that to meet the requirements of this
high-pressure working condition, special attention needs to be paid on not only
the material selection, but also the material heat treatment and workpiece
processing accuracy. More importantly, each hydraulic pressure regulating valve
should pass the high-pressure test bench. AAK has a self-developed high-voltage
test bench, which can accurately test each hydraulic pressure regulating valve to
ensure 100% qualification. There may not be a third one like us in Ningbo. In
the hydraulic valve industry, customers who leave due to price may still come
back. Most customers who leave due to service will not turn back, and customers
who leave due to quality will never come back. AAK hydraulic pressure
regulating valves have so many repeat customers up to now, it is precisely
because AAK always puts the quality requirements at the first place, strictly
controls every detail, and does not ship until it passes inspection 100%.
AAK hydraulic pressure regulating valves, the
parameters are guaranteed to meet the standard, pay close attention to service
details. You are welcome to have a small try!
Mateo comes from a
Canadian company specializing in food hydraulic equipment. The hydraulic relief
valves he needs are not to be used in traditional machinery or equipment. He
pays special attention to the cleanliness of the hydraulic relief valves.
Last week, he sent an email saying that he would order 2,000 hydraulic relief
valves at one time, because the customer placed a large order for the equipment
newly developed by his company at the end of last year, and his boss repeatedly
stressed that he must purchase from AAK only.
Mateo gave AAK a
trial order of 20 hydraulic relief valves in the second half of last year, and
specifically noted that the parameters of this hydraulic relief valve should
not be careless, because it is related to the sales of their new equipment. At
the same time, pay attention to the cleanliness of the hydraulic relief valves,
because this equipment is used in the food assembly line. I replied to him at
that time that you can rest assured of the quality of AAK hydraulic relief
valves. You can compare with several manufacturers at the same time, and let
the results to speak. Several months after the samples of hydraulic relief
valves were sent, Mateo didn't reply. During this period, we also sent several
emails to follow up, but no any news, it's like a stone sinking into the sea. At
that time, I thought he found a better manufacturer than AAK hydraulic relief
valves. I didn't expect that 6 months later, Mateo immediately placed the big order
of the hydraulic relief valves, which really surprised me.
I asked Mateo why
your boss decided to place such a big order for AAK hydraulic relief valves.
Mateo said that during sample stage for the hydraulic relief valves, they
selected 6 manufacturers and started installation and commissioning after
receiving the samples. Except for one hydraulic relief valve manufacturer, the
parameters of the other 5 manufacturers were qualified. They decided to choose
a hydraulic relief valve with the lowest price to test the machine. The
hydraulic relief valves stuck in 3 months, affecting the operation of the
equipment. After disassembling the valve body, the engineer found that there was
fine sand like dirt on it, which should be caused by dust pollution on the
hydraulic relief valves. The manufacturer believes that the dust pollution on
the hydraulic relief valves is caused during transportation, which has nothing
to do with them. The engineer suggested using AAK hydraulic relief valves to
test the machine instead.
In more than half a
year of debugging, there was no stuck problem. The boss said that although the
price of AAK hydraulic relief valves was a little higher than that of other
factories, the details of their dust-free packaging were amazing. Compared among
6 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, only the packaging of AAK surprised
everyone.
When we know the
equipment is to be used in the food production line, we know that the cleanliness
of the hydraulic relief valve is strict. We did these things:
1. The components of hydraulic relief valves are
cleaned with ultrasonic cleaning equipment after processing;
2. In the assembly workshop, automatic induction
setting is adopted for the entrance and exit, and workers are not allowed to go
in and out unless necessary, so as to avoid dust pollution of the packaging
site.
3. After the hydraulic relief valves pass the
quality inspection, put each one into a single layer thickness of 0.12mm
polybag and seal it.
4. Put it into the injection molded PP plastic box,
and then in inner packaging and outer packaging. 100% dust free protection
during transportation.
AAK hydraulic relief valves,
dust-free packaged, used in food equipment, welcome to have a small try!
Carter comes from an
excavator manufacturing company in Italy, and the purchase of hydraulic needle valves has
been smooth in recent years. At the beginning of last year, an excavator sold
by their company for less than 6 months was complained by customer. The boom of
the excavator falls too fast due to its own weight, which is easy to cause
danger. Their technician found that there was a problem with the hydraulic needle
valve of the hydraulic system. There were obvious wear marks at the contact
point between the valve spool and valve seat of the hydraulic needle valve,
which was easy to leak. The leakage of the hydraulic needle valve will cause
the oil saving and speed limiting circuit of the hydraulic cylinder to be
uncontrollable. The boss was very angry that the equipment sold for only half a
year was complained and asked Carter to find out the cause of the hydraulic needle
valve problem and solve it.
Carter contacted the original manufacturer of the hydraulic needle valves
and requested to replace the hydraulic needle valves. The manufacturer said
that the service life of hydraulic needle valves under 450bar working condition
is basically 6 months. The only way to solve this complaint is to replace the
hydraulic needle valves every 6 months. Such reply made Carter speechless,
because his customer would not accept the high-frequency replacement of
hydraulic needle valves, which not only brought a bad user experience, but also
the after-sales cost was not cheap. Carter contacted all of his hydraulic needle
valve suppliers, and they all replied that they were not sure to achieve a
hydraulic needle valve with a service life of 1 year under the working
condition of 450bar.
When browsing the
website, he found AAK and left a message on the website: How
long is the service life of hydraulic needle valves with pressure resistance of
450bar? We replied directly for 1 year or more. The next day, he told the
problems encountered in purchasing hydraulic needle valves at the beginning of
last year in detail. After receiving the drawing of the hydraulic needle valve,
we found that the hydraulic needle valve needed by Carter has much higher requirements
than the ordinary hydraulic needle valves. We replied that AAK will select
specific materials for samples, which can ensure that the hydraulic needle
valves can be used for more than 1 year under normal conditions. If possible, he
can directly test the samples.
One month later, AAK
sent 24 hydraulic needle valve samples. A year later, Carter sent an email
saying that the excavator with AAK hydraulic needle valves still have not
encountered boom problem yet. Among all of his hydraulic needle valve suppliers,
only AAK has a service life of more than 1 year.
The surface treatment
of the valve body of AAK hydraulic needle valves adopts electromagnetic
induction heating. Its main advantages are fast heating speed, light oxidation
and decarburization of the workpiece surface, and the surface hardening layer
can be adjusted according to needs, which is easy to control. The hardened
layer has fine martensite structure and high hardness, strength and toughness.
After surface quenching, the surface of the workpiece has large compressive
internal stress, and the fatigue breaking resistance of the workpiece is high.
Using induction heating surface quenching, the number of fatigue cycles under
design load is about 10 times higher than that with ordinary quenching and
tempering treatment.
AAK hydraulic needle
valves, special material selection, high pressure resistance and durability,
welcome to have a small try!
AAK, as a manufacturer of producing hydraulic valves, has been doing ODM hydraulic valves for 10 years for 3 of the world's top 500 in the industry. In the years of labeling these big brand hydraulic valves, the overall quality of the factory has improved significantly. The operation of each workshop is standardized, the quality control process of hydraulic valves is strict, and the self-implementation is more strict than the ISO certification system, being meticulous in making hydraulic valves. All of these are valuable assets for big brand ODMs.
In cooperation with these big brand hydraulic valves, AAK has formed a strict process flow, because of them, there is the growth of AAK hydraulic valves. The strength of the factory has improved, and it is natural for the market to respond. I still remember that 10 years ago, I participated in the Ningbo hydraulic valve industry seminar. An old engineer said at the meeting: "It is easier for factories to succeed in making more difficult hydraulic valves". This seems to be in line with our traditional experience: No cross, no crown. That sounds right, but it's not true. Because there is also a contrary saying called "follow the trend". If a hydraulic valve manufacturer does the right thing, it is not only easy to succeed, but also not difficult.
The experience of AAK hydraulic valves over the years is the same. If some styles of hydraulic valves are easy to do, you do not feel particularly difficult and can get help everywhere, they are more hopefully to be successful. I think that if you put the difficulty and success of the hydraulic valves together, and want to find the causal relationship between them, this idea itself has a problem. If you put the difficulty of hydraulic valves and the growth together, it may be right. The success of making a hydraulic valve with appropriate difficulty is not certain, but it will lead to our growth for sure. If we make this hydraulic valve, it will be helpful to our technological growth, and AAK will do it without hesitation.
Ten years ago, China's hydraulic valves were almost supplied to some domestic manufacturers of mechanical equipment, perhaps because of the simple process or the trend of hydraulic valve manufacturers. At that time, AAK hydraulic valves began to be tested by HydraForce. At that time, it was difficult to find a third manufacturer who could understand English hydraulic valve drawings in Ningbo. Five years ago, international equipment manufacturers, industrial manufacturers and hydraulic valve brands began to purchase hydraulic valves from China. AAK hydraulic valve was the first to try tomato.
AAK hydraulic valve has been doing ODM hydraulic valves for 3 of the world's top 500 in the industry for 10 years. The quality control process of hydraulic valves is strict, which is more strict than the ISO certification system. It is meticulous in making hydraulic valves. However, AAK hydraulic valve has never relaxed its requirements, stuck to details and increased research and development, because we know that when the growth of hydraulic valve customers exceeds that of AAK, AAK hydraulic valve will be abandoned slowly. Therefore, we must run in front of customers, lead customers, and then help customers make money.
AAK hydraulic valve, the choice of international hydraulic valve brands, you are also welcome to have a small try.
Hudson is an old purchaser of LARZEP company in Spain. He cooperates with us on are some non-standard hydraulic sequence valves, and often discuss some difficult and miscellaneous problems of hydraulic sequence valves with us. In the second half of last year, their company developed a machine tool hydraulic system, which uses the hydraulic sequence valves to implement the device of positioning first and then clamping. In order to save development time, Hudson purchased directly from Spanish hydraulic sequence valve manufacturers. According to the hydraulic sequence valve drawings provided by Hudson, the factory delivered 20 hydraulic sequence valve samples in 30 days. After the test run, it was found that the positioning clamping device reacted slowly after the machine tool was started. Check the oil circuit and components of the whole hydraulic system one by one, and there is no abnormality. Their engineers speculated that there was a problem with the hydraulic sequence valves.
Hudson contacted the original factory. The manufacturer fed back that the samples of hydraulic sequence valves were completely produced according to the drawings provided by LARZEP company, and the dimensional accuracy met the requirements. Their engineers tested the hydraulic sequence valves separately and there was no abnormality. Hudson's team explored for 2 days and determined that there was a problem with the design of the hydraulic sequence valves. Hudson contacted AAK because the hydraulic sequence valve problems encountered several times before were solved by AAK. According to his fault description, drawings of hydraulic sequence valve, working parameters of hydraulic system of machine tool and video of test run, AAK engineer did find the problem in the design of hydraulic sequence valve.
AAK engineer's suggestion is to change the design mode of the hydraulic sequence valve to maintain a minimum "pilot pressure" in the starting circuit and "fully open" when it is higher than the set pressure. This feature can effectively reduce the throttling loss of the system under the working pressure and make the clamping and positioning system of the machine tool sensitive. Hudson team had to stop the machine test and let AAK immediately test the sample according to AAK design recommendations.
After 30 days, AAK sent 20 hydraulic sequence valve samples and provided our working schematic diagram. Hudson team installed and commissioned the machine tool after receiving it, and the machine tool was continuously tested for 48H. The reaction of the positioning and clamping device of the machine tool has always been normal. Hudson emailed us that AAK newly designed hydraulic sequence valve was more reliable than their native Spanish ones, and their engineers were surprised by AAK design ability. Thanks to the help of AAK, they succeeded in the test run.
Hudson privately told us to wait for the email for the annual order of the hydraulic sequence valves, their team is confident that this machine tool will sell well. His boss is very satisfied with their performance in promoting the new equipment this time.
AAK hydraulic sequence valve helps customers make money. You are welcome to give it a try!
Patrick and I know each other at the PTC exhibition in Shanghai. He has worked in HAENCHEN hydraulic equipment company in Germany for a long time. The first thing he said when he saw me was that “I was attracted by the slogan "Hydraulic valve manufacturer of the world's top 500 companies" on your AAK booth”. We talked about the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves for more than half an hour, especially introduced the difference of AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves on the specific details. He was surprised that the details of AAK had caught up with his local hydraulic valve manufacturers in Germany.
Shortly after the exhibition, Patrick emailed us a hydraulic threaded cartridge valve with high parameter requirements. In particular, the durability of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve should be more than 2 million times. All quality details should be compared with their local suppliers in Germany. The drawings attached to the email indicate the detailed data and working condition requirements. AAK is required to send 12 hydraulic threaded cartridge valve samples within 4 weeks. After analysis and comparison, AAK engineers found that this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is not only durable for more than 2 million times, but also has high accuracy requirements. In particular, the internal leakage requirement of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is 2drops / min, which is 60% higher than the international general standard. Although the requirements are high, we are still confident. 4 weeks later, AAK sent 12 hydraulic threaded cartridge valve samples.
A month after the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve samples were sent, Patrick emailed that AAK did make him realize that it was different from other hydraulic valve manufacturers. At that time, he emailed to 4 Chinese hydraulic threaded cartridge valve manufacturers and a local manufacturer in Germany. Two of the 4 Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers gave up directly. Only AAK and another hydraulic thread cartridge valve manufacturer confirmed to make samples. They tested and compared the sample parameters of the three factories. AAK's accuracy and durability are not only much higher than those of its Chinese counterparts, but also benchmarked with their local manufacturer in Germany. Although the quotation of AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is much higher than that of its Chinese counterparts, it still has advantages over the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve purchased locally in Germany. Purchasing from AAK is the best embodiment of cost performance.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve has three absolute advantages and has already surpassed its domestic counterparts.
1. AAK has a high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland and various independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by itself, which eliminates human errors and ensures the first step of accuracy.
2. AAK engineer team with more than 10 years of technical experience, independent professional research and development, combined with unique research and development technology, to select the raw materials and components according to the working conditions of customers' actual needs, realizing the personalized customization demand of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves, which can not be achieved by 95% of domestic peers.
3. AAK has been OEM for 3 Fortune 500 companies for 10 years. The quality control process is strict, and it is stricter than the ISO certification system. It never relax their requirements, stick to the details and increase R & D. Ensure that the valve spool and valve sleeve of each hydraulic threaded cartridge valve have low friction, anti-fatigue, long service life and high precision.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve has surpassed its domestic counterparts and benchmarked the local manufacturer in Germany. You are welcome to give it a try!
HIGINSON company plans to develop a new plunger hydraulic cylinder, which needs to purchase the supporting hydraulic directional control valves. Helen, who had just joined the company, stumbled when purchasing the hydraulic directional control valves. Helen has no hydraulic valve supplier and can only purchase from the original hydraulic valve manufacturer of the company. Half a month later, the engineer and technician of the company installed the hydraulic directional control valves purchased by Helen for commissioning, and the plunger hydraulic cylinder dropped intermittently with vibration and noise. The technician pointed out that the hydraulic directional control valves needed to be replaced.
Helen contacted the original manufacturer of hydraulic directional control valve. Per the manufacturer, the delivered hydraulic directional control valves met the requirements of Helen's parameters, and the accuracy also fully met the standard. As a novice, Helen was helpless, and the technician did not specifically say why to replace the hydraulic direction control valves. She tried to contact the new hydraulic directional control valve manufacturer to solve the problem.
Helen left a message on AAK website: why is the plunger hydraulic cylinder equipped with hydraulic directional control valve noisy? At this moment, we can't tell the reason. After communicating with Helen, I learned the process of purchasing this hydraulic directional control valve and the judgment of technician in their company. AAK engineers are not 100% sure that where the problem is according to the hydraulic directional control valve drawings sent by Helen, the shipment sample of the original manufacturer and the video of their technician's machine test. We are thinking if Helen, as a novice, has mistaken the type of hydraulic directional control valve? The hydraulic directional control valves can be divided into internal leakage type and external leakage type. Combined with the working conditions, this plunger hydraulic cylinder just reverses the oil outlet chamber, and the back pressure is high. If the internal leakage hydraulic directional control valve is used, there will be abnormal phenomena such as vibration or noise.
We told Helen our thinking. She really did not note to the original manufacturer that the hydraulic directional control valve is internal leakage or external leakage. I told her that AAK has ready-made samples of the external leakage hydraulic directional control valve. It is recommended to test the machine with AAK hydraulic directional control valve to see if there is still vibration or abnormal noise. A week later, Helen sent an email saying that AAK hydraulic directional control valve was installed and there was no abnormality in the test run.
Helen said privately that she contacted many manufacturers of hydraulic directional control valves. AAK was the first hydraulic valve manufacturer willing to help solve the problem in time. With the help of AAK, she passed the probation period smoothly. AAK is her first trusted Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer.
AAK hydraulic directional control valves, do something you trust, welcome to have a small try!
Philip comes from a hydraulic equipment company in Italy. He has purchased hydraulic pressure reducing valves in China for several years. He is also an old customer of AAK. At the beginning of last month, Philip emailed that there was a problem with the hydraulic pressure reducing valves he purchased elsewhere at the beginning of last year, and the company had to pay a lot of money after sales. The boss had big disagree opinion on him. After further communication, we learned that in order to reduce the purchase cost by 17%, he did not choose AAK and purchased hydraulic pressure reducing valves from another factory.
The crane sold by Philip’s company suddenly increased the load of variable displacement pump during operation, resulting in the control failure of the whole hydraulic system. Under normal circumstances, the hydraulic pressure reducing valve of the variable displacement pump as the emergency safety valve is in the normally closed state. This time, the pressure of the variable displacement pump cannot be released due to the jamming of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves, resulting in the collapse of the system. The customer requests to replace the hydraulic pressure reducing valves on the equipment and compensate the cost of work delay on the construction site.
Philip asked the original manufacturer to replace the hydraulic pressure reducing valves. The manufacturer said that the hydraulic pressure reducing valves have been used for more than half a year. The problem of the valve spool sticking is caused by sundries in the hydraulic oil used by the user. At present, this model of hydraulic pressure reducing valves is not in stock, and it will take at least more than a month to re produce. I asked Philip to send me the model and parameters of this style of hydraulic pressure reducing valves. After analysis, AAK engineers found that the hydraulic pressure reducing valves needed by Philip was exactly the same as that ordered by one of our Russian customers last time. We have it in stock. The next day, AAK sent 20 hydraulic pressure reducing valves to Philip by air express. After receiving them, he asked the after-sales engineer to replace it on site. As a result, everything was normal and the crane could operate smoothly.
A week later, Philip sent an email saying that thanks to AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves, which saved the company a compensation. The boss also appreciated AAK for its help and suggested Philip list AAK as their preferred supplier of hydraulic pressure reducing valves. The price of AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves may be a little higher than that of its counterparts in Ningbo, but you have no worries when using it. AAK knows that the hydraulic pressure reducing valve is the soul of this crane. Therefore, AAK controls the production quality of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves strictly, so that customers can buy it at ease and use it at ease.
AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves have two absolute advantages and has already surpassed its domestic counterparts.
1. AAK has a high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland and various independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by itself, which eliminates human errors and avoids valve spool sticking and other faults.
2. The independent professional R & D team, combined with unique R & D technology, has realized the personalized customization demand of hydraulic pressure reducing valves, which can not be achieved by 95% of domestic peers.
Peter told me privately that his boss asked him to send samples of the other hydraulic pressure reducing valves previously purchased to AAK for quotation. Even if the price is a little expensive, they should also choose AAK hydraulic valves which are more stable. They not only admire AAK's professional analysis ability, but also AAK's ability to solve difficulties for customers in time.
AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves, professional and whole-hearted, help customers solve problems in time. You are welcome to have a small try.
German
customer David has been purchased hydraulic relief valves in Ningbo in a same
factory. At the beginning of last year, David purchased a batch of hydraulic
relief valves for crane system in AAK because the original supplier was not
able to meet the delivery. He sent an email last week saying: "with AAK
hydraulic relief valves, the stability is 8% higher than that of the original
supplier, and there is almost no external leakage". This surprised him.
The use experience of AAK hydraulic relief valves has benchmarked with their
previous local hydraulic relief valve manufacturers in Germany.
The
vast majority of hydraulic valve bodies are made of nodular iron, vermicular
iron and gray iron and cast with resin sand as the molding medium. Therefore,
there is sticky sand in the casting, which is easy to pollute the oil system
and block the valve and filter, which is the key factor affecting the stability
of hydraulic relief valves. Most of the common sand cleaning methods of
hydraulic relief valves used in the industry are shot blasting and
electrochemical sand cleaning, all of which have limitations.
1.
Shot blasting can not completely remove the sticking sand from the valve hole
with complex structure and small oil passage, which is easy to affect the
tightness and product accuracy, and is not conducive to the stability of the
hydraulic relief valves.
2.
Electrochemical sand cleaning can relatively remove the sticky sand in the
narrow oil passage, but it has high energy consumption, high operation
intensity of workers, easy to have human errors, can not completely remove the
sticky sand, and is not conducive to the stability of the hydraulic relief
valves.
Improving
the quality of hydraulic parts processing process, improving the cleanliness
level and ensuring the stability of hydraulic relief valves has always been the
hard index of AAK hydraulic relief valves. Auxiliary processing of hydraulic
parts mainly includes: sand cleaning of valve body, deburring or residue
treatment of parts and cleaning of hydraulic parts. How does AAK do the sand
cleaning of hydraulic relief valves?
AAK
technical team has continuously improved the sand cleaning process of hydraulic
relief valves after years of technical improvement. For the sand cleaning of
small complex castings, AAK has its own unique AAK sand cleaning 5 methods,
namely: artificial aging - Pickling - rinsing - rust prevention - ultrasonic
cleaning. Artificial aging is used to reduce the binding force between the
casting and sand, acid pickling is used to remove the oxide skin at the joint
between the sand and the casting to peel the sand from the casting, and then
the explosion of compressed air during ultrasonic cleaning is used to peel off
the sand, so as to achieve the purpose of sand cleaning.
AAK
has its own unique advantages of AAK sand cleaning 5 methods: (1) it is less affected
by the casting structure; (2) it is carried out before machining and does not
affect the arrangement of machining process; (3) although it has a certain
impact on the environment, antifogging agent is added during pickling to reduce
the impact. At the same time, corresponding corrosion inhibitor is added during
pickling, and rust prevention treatment is carried out immediately after
rinsing to ensure the stability of hydraulic relief valves. This is also the
reason why the stability of AAK hydraulic relief valves is more than 8% higher
than that of other manufacturers.
The
stability of AAK hydraulic relief valves comes from AAK unique and efficient
sand cleaning methods. You are welcome to try an order!
Davis is an old customer from Germany. We met 3
years ago and he purchases hydraulic valves from AAK every year. In the second
half of last year, Davis suddenly asked me: can AAK hydraulic valve blocks be
as stable as the hydraulic valves? I feel that there is a problem with the
hydraulic valve blocks he purchased from other manufacturers. According to the
hydraulic valve block drawings sent by Davis, AAK engineers found that this
hydraulic valve block is indeed difficult after review. In particular, the oil
passage width of the hydraulic valve block is more than 2 times smaller than
that of the conventional one, and some valve spool holes are multi segmented
structure, which has high requirements for hydraulic valve block processing and
iron filings cleaning. I told Davis that you will see the results in 40 days.
One month later, AAK sent 5 samples of hydraulic valve blocks as scheduled.
Strangely, 2 months later, there was no news from Davis about this hydraulic
valve block.
After a lapse of more than half a year, that is, last
week, Davis sent an email to purchase 1,000 hydraulic valve blocks at one time.
The stability of the hydraulic valve blocks must not be lower than that of the
samples sent half a year ago. More than half a year has passed since proofing,
suddenly, an order of such a big quantity for hydraulic valve blocks have been
placed, which makes us happy and surprised.
Davis informed that the hydraulic valve block
samples provided by AAK have been tested internally. Half a year later, their
engineers thought that the hydraulic valve block samples provided by AAK had
passed the test, so they placed a large order of hydraulic valve blocks today. In fact, this is not their new order, but moved from
the original hydraulic valve block manufacturer to AAK. The original manufacturer
started shipping 2 years ago, but during these 2 years, users always complain
that the burr of the hydraulic valve blocks pollutes the oil. Sometimes the
burr of the hydraulic valve blocks causes the hydraulic valves to jam, which
makes their after-sales personnel very embarrassed. They also tried to ask more
than 20 new manufacturers of hydraulic valve blocks for solution, but none of
them can guarantee 100% free of iron filings. They can only continue to
purchase this hydraulic valve block from the original manufacturer. The boss
was very unhappy and gave Davis half a year. If the burr problem of the
hydraulic valve blocks cannot be completely solved, they can only purchase domestically
from Germany in the future, even if the price is more than 60% expensive.
AAK hydraulic valve blocks have withstood the test
for half a year and Davis also completed the task given by the boss. Davis was
also surprised. Later, he asked me: Why can't the original manufacturer solve
it for 2 years and more than 20 manufacturers can't guarantee it 100%. How can
AAK hydraulic valve blocks be 100% burr free?
1. AAK adopts German Alma ultrasonic, which is a
sharp deburring tool. Its instantaneous high pressure can effectively remove
the burr of the inner hole of the hydraulic valve blocks.
2. Then use the
industrial endoscope to check all the hydraulic valve block channels again to
ensure that there are no dead corners.
3. Then observe the inner hole of
each hydraulic valve block with a high magnification microscope to ensure that
it is 100% free of burrs and other impurities before packaging.
AAK hydraulic valve blocks have
unique skills in deburring. You are welcome to give it a try!
For the leakage in the pilot-operated pressure control valves less than 2drops /min, Howard from Accupress in Canada, contacted more than 30 Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. Only AAK pilot-operated pressure control valves met the standard and replaced his local factory in the United States. Last year, the hydraulic shearing machine they listed sold well. The boss decided to mass produce it in Suzhou, China. However, the pilot-operated pressure control valve to be used in the hydraulic shearing machine was originally purchased in the United States, and the internal leakage is less than 2drops / min. If the pilot-operated pressure control valve is purchased from China, it will save money and time. While contacting some old suppliers, Howard is also looking for new manufacturers of pilot-operated pressure control valves.
We also received Howard's inquiry. The email subject is: can you supply pilot-operated pressure control valves with internal leakage less than 2drops / min for our Suzhou factory? We thought it was a domestic purchase, so we politely refused. Until Howard's second email told us why he wanted to ship to Suzhou, and he contacted more than 30 Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, only two of them replied that they could try to make samples of pilot-operated pressure control valves with internal leakage less than 2drops/min, and there was no any reply from the other manufacturers.
Howard asked if AAK pilot-operated pressure control valves could meet American factory standards? If not, the sample is meaningless. I told him directly that AAK had tested samples of pilot-operated pressure control valves with internal leakage less than 2drops/min for a German company some time ago. The pilot-operated pressure control valves can be refunded in full if our samples do not meet the standard. One month later, 30 pilot operated pressure control valves were sent to Accupress's Suzhou plant.
Four weeks later, Howard sent an email saying that their engineers tested the pilot operated pressure control valves of AAK and two other manufacturers, and only AAK samples met the standard. Some parameters were higher than those of the original American factory, and those of the other two manufacturers did not meet the standards. In particular, AAK pilot operated pressure control valves caught up with and surpassed his American factory, which surprised him.
AAK pilot operated pressure control valves can meet such requirements because of two reasons:
1、For the pilot operated pressure control valves, the matching clearance accuracy between the valve spool and the valve body directly determines the internal leakage of the whole valve. AAK has German Nagel precision honing machine. After honing, the dimensional accuracy of the cone plating of the valve spool and valve body of the pilot operated pressure control valve is IT7 ~ 4, and the surface roughness can reach Ra0.32 ~ 0.04μm, which can not be achieved by most of hydraulic valve manufacturers.
2、After assembly, AAK uses a special air pressure tester to detect the leakage of each pilot operated pressure control valve. Within the set pressure and time range, AAK judges the internal leakage according to the number of bubbles. However, most factories use the oil pressure test method. As I have known that there may be no more than three factories that can use special air pressure test.
Howard told me privately that his boss appreciated his quick finding a supplier who could replace the pilot operated pressure control valves produced in American factory. Now his purchasing authority has been improved.
AAK pilot operated pressure control valves, the internal leakage is less than 2drops /min. You are welcome to have a small try!
Back from the three-day holiday, the director of the machine tool workshop sent a production report of TRV-08 hydraulic direct acting relief valve for an Indian customer early in the morning.
The first paragraph is like this: "the programmers in our workshop made a low-level mistake and compiled the leakage of 2 drop / min in the hydraulic direct acting relief valve into a production process of 5 drop / min. I didn't check it out because I was anxious to go back to my hometown for the holiday".
Seeing this production report of TRV-08 hydraulic direct acting relief valve, I was angry, not because the hydraulic relief valves produced has to be wasted, but because the workshop director indicated it as a low-level mistake in order to whitewash it. In every production link of hydraulic valves, error is error. There has never been any low-level error or high-level error. As long as you make a mistake, it's either bleeding or dying.
I replied to him:
1. Re-produce TRV-08 hydraulic direct acting relief valve and work overtime continuously to make up for the the production progress delayed for 3 days. The produced parts of hydraulic relief valves shall be put into the waste warehouse and registered.
2. In the production of hydraulic valves, if you will make a mistake that no one has ever made, you can be promoted from workshop director to production director.
The thought of predecessors is the ladder of future generations. To experience the pain of bleeding from mistakes, you can grow. No matter the production programming of hydraulic direct acting relief valves or other production links of hydraulic direct acting relief valves, we should not be careless.
AAK hydraulic relief valves, it doesn't matter if there is a mistake. First recognize the mistake, then correct yourself, and then protect customers. You are welcome to try an order with AAK.
Last October, Henry had planned to go to Hawaii with
his family for a vacation. The day before he left, he was informed that a
customer complained about the vibration problem of his company's hydraulic
power unit during low-speed operation. The boss asked Henry to solve the problem
immediately. As the purchasing manager of the company, he had to cancel the
annual leave. The engineer tested the hydraulic system on site and
preliminarily judged that the hydraulic counterbalance valve was abnormal. The
engineer disassembled the hydraulic counterbalance valve and failed to find out
the reason. The hydraulic counterbalance valve was tested separately, and each
parameter was up to standard. Henry began to contact the local hydraulic counterbalance
valve supplier and wanted to solve it as soon as possible, but there was no
reply.
Henry found the original hydraulic counterbalance
valve manufacturer. The factory said that he OEM the hydraulic counterbalance
valve completely according to their hydraulic counterbalance valve drawings. He
also specially retested the hydraulic counterbalance valve in stock, and its parameter
basis was qualified. Henry was embarrassed to face such a situation. Henry
thought of AAK because we helped him solve the difficult problems of hydraulic counterbalance
valves several times before.
We received Henry's email and understood that neither
the original manufacturer nor the local manufacturer provided solutions.
According to the working video of the pressure unit provided by Henry, our
engineers recognized their preliminary judgment that the hydraulic counterbalance
valve was abnormal. The function of the hydraulic counterbalance valve is to
balance the "negative load force" opposite to the required movement
direction, which makes the hydraulic motor easier to control. The vibration
problem in the complaint is that the hydraulic counterbalance valve affects the
control ability of the balance circuit to the load. This is just our first
guess about the fault. The specific situation needs to be determined in
combination with the actual hydraulic counterbalance valve samples.
Henry sent us the hydraulic counterbalance valve
samples the next day. After our engineers disassembled it, we are 90% confident
that our judgment is correct. The check valve throttling groove of their
hydraulic counterbalance valve is a traditional design. According to the
working condition of their pressure unit, the design of double triangular
throttling groove of hydraulic counterbalance valve has a little influence on
the stability of valve spool. The hydraulic counterbalance valves we shipped to
a Russian customer 2 years ago also encountered similar problems. I suggest
Henry redesign the structure of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. A month
later, AAK sent out 10 samples of hydraulic counterbalance valves, Henry
installed the equipment for commissioning, and there was no vibration problem.
AAK engineers changed the design of the check valve
throttling groove of the hydraulic counterbalance valve from double triangular
throttling groove to independent triangular throttling groove. The overflow
area of the throttling groove, the internal fluid flow of the check valve spool
and the dynamic characteristics of the balance circuit were compared and
analyzed. Finally, it was determined that the triangular throttling groove had
a much smaller impact on the stability of the valve spool and the system than
the double triangular throttling groove.
Henry sent me photos of a happy vacation in Hawaii
and thanked AAK for solving the problem professionally. His boss was very
satisfied with his quick solution to the problem and specially gave him two
more days off. He was very happy.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves, your problem
today may be the road I walked yesterday. You can have a small try!
Since the epidemic, many work forms have changed.
Whether working at home or in 3 + 2 mode, it tells us that the future
organization will be a new mode, and the manufacturers of hydraulic valves are
no exception. My understanding of the future factory is that the factory is a
factory, only a limited production department. Just like our hydraulic valve
factory in Cixi, it has only one function - producing hydraulic valves, which
is the "1" in the "6 + 1" industrial chain.
For hydraulic valve industry, "6" in the
"6 + 1" industrial chain refers to: 1) hydraulic valve design and
innovation, 2) procurement (raw materials, or semi-finished products), 3) warehousing
and transportation, 4) order processing, 5) hydraulic valve sales, 6)
after-sales and service; "1" refers to the production of hydraulic
valves. A few years later, our hydraulic valve factory is no longer crowded.
The hydraulic valve workshop is either the sound of machine tool cutting metal,
or 2-3 masters who give machine tool instructions or maintenance.
Small bosses shouldn't care about the
macro-economy, which has nothing to do with you and me. Just like me, you can
focus on a subdivided field of hydraulic valves, and it is enough to achieve
the top 1% in this field. Please note, it is not Top 1. AAK has always focused
on the single product of hydraulic valves. It works online for 4 hours a day,
which is 7,300 hours in 5 years. It has reached the top 1% of the subdivided
field of hydraulic valves. If your enterprise can't reach the top 1%, add
another 2 years and reach 10,000 hours in 7 years. You must be the top 1%.
Seven years is a watershed for many enterprises.
Seven years later, if your enterprise is still "poor", there must be
problems in your cognition, thinking and method. The "conspiracy
theory" on the Internet makes those with simple brains look less simple.
Online "knowledge fast food" makes those who never "think deeply"
look like they can "think deeply". This is not a good way to do the
hydraulic valves.
Online, our circle is no longer restricted by the
actual conditions and regions, and it is easier for those with similar
interests to gather together. Although you may be in completely different
industries, or even you and I are far from each other, the same combination of
"cognition" and "Three Reviews" makes you attract each
other. AAK hydraulic valves adhere to our three views and the top 1% of the
industry.
AAK hydraulic valves
adhere to a group of people, a lifetime and one thing, let each user use AAK
hydraulic valves without any trouble. AAK hydraulic valves adhere to the
principle of integrity, does a good job in the business of AAK hydraulic valves,
and sincerely treats the customers who purchase each hydraulic valve. Let more
customers use good hydraulic valves with real materials without wasting money.
AAK hydraulic valves, top 1%, welcome to give it a
try.
Last
Friday, I received an email from Shikha, an Indian hydraulic directional valve
customer. I was depressed all weekend and didn't even want to reply to the
email. In July last year, Shikha placed a trial order for a hydraulic
directional valve. Three months later, Shikha asked the price of the hydraulic
directional valve to be reduced by 40%, on the grounds that the order quantity
of the hydraulic directional valve is bigger now. At that time, we only reduced
the price by 5%, but Shikha forwarded the email of other manufacturer accepting
the price reduction to me. It means that if AAK hydraulic valve can not accept
the price reduction, the order will be placed with other hydraulic directional
valve manufacturer. It turned out that he tried the order at AAK and another
manufacturer at the same time last July.
Last
week, Shikha contacted AAK again and asked us to accept the same price as last
time. I felt that the hydraulic directional valves he
purchased from other manufacturer was not smooth, then he turned back to AAK,
so we insisted on the original quotation and got his weird email on Friday:
"Why does AAK have to make money to make this hydraulic directional valve?
Don't many manufacturers in China make a few points of profit?"
Indeed,
there are hydraulic directional valve manufacturers doing market common
products. The only thing they can do is to compete with low price, and then
make small moves under table in production. This is the involution of the
hydraulic valve industry. AAK does not want to accept such orders for hydraulic
directional valves, nor does it want to contact such customers.
No
matter what enterprise, if it doesn't make money, it can't find its mission,
vision and values. If an enterprise deliberately creates its mission, vision
and values, it is illogical. If the enterprise doesn't make some money first,
where will these things come out of the mind? No matter how small an enterprise
is, it may not realize the value of the enterprise until it has a net profit of
at least one million yuan. For example, in what aspects has AAK hydraulic valves
created value for customers and brought additional benefits to customers, as
well as benefits that can not be given by hydraulic valve peers, not to mention
the R & D cost of hydraulic valves, production process upgrading cost and
equipment renewal cost. On the way of making money continuously, the
enterprise's mission, vision and values will be clearer until the enterprise's
mission, vision and values are slowly found and what the enterprise really
wants to say and do.
In
the past few years, the conversion rate of AAK online inquiry is 17%. Does this
17% seem not high enough? But AAK never does business for poor enterprises. Our
customers are concentrated in European and American brand hydraulics, and their
operation is standardized. As long as the quality of your hydraulic valves is
stable, it is really easy to discuss the hydraulic valve project, rather than
forcing the manufacturer to accept the low price of hydraulic directional valves
like Shikha.
AAK hydraulic valves,
a group of people, a lifetime, one thing, let each user use the hydraulic valves
without trouble. Do a good job in the business of AAK hydraulic valves and
treat each hydraulic valve purchasing customer sincerely. Let more customers
use good hydraulic valves with real materials without wasting money.
AAK hydraulic valves,
whose customers are concentrated in European and American brand hydraulics. You
are welcome to try the order.
Lucas is from a
Canadian hydraulic equipment company. He found AAK hydraulic valves online last
September. His first inquiry was the hydraulic pilot-operated pressure control
valve. After 3 rounds of email communication, he placed a trial order for 20 pcs
of hydraulic pilot-operated pressure
control valves. I received the order so smoothly,
but I didn't expect that AAK would almost take the blame for others in the
first cooperation.
At the beginning of last month, Lucas informed by
email that there were problems with all 20 hydraulic pilot-operated pressure
control valves provided by AAK. When the equipment was installed and debugged,
the hydraulic system went on strike. This is the first time I have encountered
such a complaint. AAK will do various tests on each hydraulic pilot-operated pressure
control valve before leaving the factory, and deliver it only after it is
qualified. I asked the engineer and the workshop to verify. It was proved that
the programming and production of the hydraulic pilot-operated pressure control
valves are completely consistent with the drawings provided by Lucas, so I can
ensure that the samples of AAK hydraulic pilot-operated pressure control valves
are qualified.
Our engineers
speculate that there may be a problem with the oil circuit design of the valve
block system, but Lucas engineers believe that AAK is shirking the
responsibility. So I suggest Lucas try the hydraulic pilot-operated pressure
control valves of other manufacturers to debug. If the hydraulic system is
still abnormal, our guess is right. Two weeks later, Lucas frankly told us that
there should be a problem with the oil circuit design and asked us what good
methods we had?
The next day, Lucas sent
us the video of equipment commissioning. Indeed, during the operation of the
equipment, the speed increases when the cylinder of the hydraulic system is
lowered, which is equivalent to the increase of flow, and the original set
pressure of the hydraulic pilot-operated pressure control valve will also
increase, resulting in the instability of system pressure. Therefore, it is
inferred that the instability of pressure is caused by the thin oil passage of
the hydraulic valve block in the system. We suggest that he send us the
schematic diagram of the hydraulic system. After analysis, AAK engineers
believe that the oil circuit design cannot match the working conditions of the
equipment.
AAK plans to design
and process a new hydraulic valve
block, and then installs the AAK hydraulic
pilot-operated pressure control valves to debug the equipment. If it is not
successful, AAK will not charge any fee for the hydraulic valve block. A month
later, AAK sent out the newly designed hydraulic valve block. Lucas sent an
email 3 days after receiving AAK hydraulic valve block. He informed that after
installing the AAK designed hydraulic valve block and the hydraulic pilot-operated
pressure control valves, the hydraulic system was normal and the equipment
operated smoothly. Their engineers also admire AAK professional analysis
ability and problem-oriented ability to design and production.
The failure of a
hydraulic valve is not a point problem, but a system. Everything should start
from the principle. The average working experience of AAK engineer team is 11
years. Among the hydraulic valve peers in Ningbo, it may not be possible to find
the third hydraulic valve manufacturer as such.
Lucas privately told
us that his boss suggested that in the future, not only the hydraulic pilot-operated
pressure control valves should be purchased from AAK, but also the hydraulic manifolds, because
AAK specialty conquered his boss.
AAK hydraulic pilot-operated
pressure control valves, professional analysis, efficient design, maybe there is
no 3rd manufacturer like us in Ningbo, you can also have a small
try!
At
the weekly meeting of hydraulic valve sales, I always ask our business team to
study the production process of hydraulic valves with heart, observe the production of hydraulic valve at the workshop with
heart, and think about customer emails with heart. Last month, someone asked me
what is with heart? I was speechless for a moment.
Recently,
I saw an explanation in a book. The difference between using your heart and not
is whether you are accepting the world as it is or observing how such a world
will affect you? I think the explanation about the difference is in place and
hit the nail on the head. Reading the email from hydraulic valve customer, word
by word, and even forcibly reciting the whole email, which is still not called
reading it carefully with heart.
Reading
with heart means thinking about these questions repeatedly in the process of
reading:
1. What question is the customer
asking or requesting about the hydraulic valves?
2.
Do we have any problems with
these hydraulic valves? If not, how to convince customers that we don't have
these problems.
3.
Is the answer we are going to
provide persuasive? How can customers trust AAK hydraulic valves with the least
amount of time?
4.
These hydraulic valve problems
raised by customers broaden my vision? If it is widened, what is the problem
with my original frame about hydraulic valves?
5.
Have I understood the customer's
needs and emotions? If not, what's my problem?
When you read the emails with
these questions, you will find that we are not reading the emails, but
observing our changes through external stimulation, and even receiving the
customer's emotion. This is called reading the emails carefully with heart.
AAK team works hard on the
hydraulic valves with heart, and understands the needs of
each customer with heart. This is our eternal direction!
Whenever there is a new sample of AAK hydraulic valves, I must put it on the desk for a few days. Take a look at the hydraulic check valve with the same attitude of appreciating works of art, and taste a cup of coffee. The work is so simple.
The parameters of AAK hydraulic check valves have surpassed most of the domestic hydraulic valve counterparts, and the appearance is also beyond what the 10-year-old hydraulic check valve manufacturers are able to keep pace with. AAK hydraulic valves have no quality complaints for 6 consecutive years. In 2019, AAK hydraulic check valves were used on aircraft by a Russian customer, which is a witness of good quality.
AAK hydraulic check valve, how good is it? See the visual comparison in the picture below. Only from the appearance, the hydraulic check valve produced by 10 years old factory has lost. Not to mention meeting the parameters of hydraulic check valve using in aircraft, they may not dare to think or do it.
AAK hydraulic valves is an ODM manufacturer for international first-line hydraulic valve brands. It is difficult to find the third one in Ningbo, the hometown of hydraulic valves. You can also have a small try.
Nicholas is from an Italian hydraulic company. Last year, a batch of hydraulic equipment needed to use the hydraulic check valve urgently. Due to tight time, Nicholas purchased in Italy. After installing the local hydraulic check valve, the equipment commissioning was normal, but 3 months later, some users complained that the pressure of the power unit was insufficient. It was found that the hydraulic check valve was stuck on site, resulting in weak pressure supply of the system.
Nicholas contacted the original hydraulic check valve supplier and the supplier replied that the jamming was caused by unclean hydraulic oil. The on-site personnel found that the hydraulic oil was polluted, so they could only disassemble and clean the stuck hydraulic check valve. After replacing the hydraulic oil of the whole system, the equipment returned to normal. But a few months later, the same problem happened again, and Nicholas's after-sales personnel operated again as last time. The boss felt that the problem should be solved fundamentally after he knew it. Such after-sales cost is too high. Their engineers fed back that they could only install the filter screen at the inlet of the hydraulic check valve, but the original design of the equipment did not consider the position of the filter screen. It will cost more to refit the whole set of equipment.
The boss asked Nicholas to contact more local hydraulic check valve manufacturers to brainstorm. After knowing the problem with this hydraulic check valve from Nicholas, and the hydraulic oil is inevitably polluted, combining with their equipment working conditions and installation drawings, I told him that we can only find hydraulic check valve with filtering function. AAK has similar hydraulic check valve with automatic filtering function. Nicholas doesn't believe that AAK can provide such a hydraulic check valve. After receiving AAK sample and installing it, the equipment works normally. Nicholas asked us how long AAK hydraulic check valve with filter screen can work? We told him that there would be no users to apply for repair within 1 year.
Nicholas asked why we are so confident. I told him that a Canadian customer had the same problem last year. We developed this new hydraulic check valve. Within one year, Canadian customer has not reported that there is a problem with this hydraulic check valve yet. Half a year later, Nicholas sent an email saying that his customers had never changed the hydraulic oil after using AAK hydraulic check valves.
At that time, in order to save the installation space of filter plug-ins for the hydraulic system of Canadian customer, not to use bulky filter containers, and keep the system clean and extend the service life of hydraulic check valves, AAK designed a hydraulic check valve with filter embedded into the body, that is, the filter screen and the hydraulic check valve are installed in the valve block together. The filter made of 304 stainless steel can effectively remove the fine particles in the hydraulic oil, and it is no longer necessary to change the hydraulic oil once every 3 months.
AAK hydraulic check valve with filter screen saves money and worry. You can also have a small try!
AAK unique 5 steps sand
cleaning method replaces the traditional method commonly used by peers, and
completely solves the problem of valve stuck or filter blockage of hydraulic relief
valves caused by hidden danger in sand cleaning. The American customer placed
an order for the hydraulic relief valves to AAK 3 days after the test run.
Most of the bodies of the hydraulic relief valves
are made of nodular iron, vermicular iron and gray iron and cast by sand
turning with resin sand as the modeling medium. Therefore, there is sticky sand
in the casting, which is easy to cause valve jamming and filter blockage. Most
of the common sand cleaning methods of hydraulic relief valves in the same
industry are shot blasting and electrochemical sand cleaning. These methods
have limitations and are not conducive to the stability of hydraulic relief
valves.
Gabriel is a purchaser
of a hydraulic company in the United States. In previous years, he purchased
the hydraulic relief valves in the United States. Recently, there is an order
for hydraulic relief valves. The production of the original domestic
manufacturer is full schedule, while the other hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers dislike the small quantity and are unwilling to accept the order.
The company asked him to check with Chinese hydraulic relief valve manufacturers.
Among several hydraulic relief valve manufacturers recommended by his colleagues,
Gabriel chose 3 of them to send samples after a round of comparison. After 20
days, the samples of these 3 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers were
generally stable and prone to valve jamming or filter blockage. The root cause
was the incomplete sand cleaning process of the hydraulic relief valves.
When browsing B2B websites,
Gabriel saw that AAK website www.aakindustry.com introduced the 5 steps sand
cleaning method of hydraulic relief valves. He left a message on our website: Can
AAK make the hydraulic relief valves not stuck or the filter not blocked? We
replied him directly: AAK hydraulic relief valves with 5 steps sand cleaning
method have been recognized by German customers. You are welcome to try the
order. Gabriel subconsciously approved AAK hydraulic relief valves but was still
some concerned because of no cooperation before, so he asked for samples to
test first. According to the draft of hydraulic relief valves sent by him, we
sent samples in 2 weeks. Gabriel issued official PO on the 3rd day after
receiving the hydraulic relief valve samples for commissioning, and requested
that the bulk goods to be 100% sand cleaned thoroughly.
AAK adopts more
efficient sand cleaning method and has its own unique 5 steps sand cleaning
method for small and complex castings, namely: Artificial aging - Pickling - Rinsing
- Rust prevention - Ultrasonic cleaning. Artificial aging is used to reduce the
binding force between the casting and sand, acid pickling is used to remove the
oxide skin at the joint between the sand and the casting, so as to peel the
sand off the casting, and then the explosion of compressed air during
ultrasonic cleaning is used to make the sand fall off, so as to achieve the
purpose of 100% sand cleaning. Gabriel issued the PO in 3 days after receiving
AAK hydraulic relief valves for testing. This is a witness of AAK unique sand
cleaning methods.
AAK hydraulic relief
valves do not block the valve or filter, which is due to AAK unique 5 steps sand
cleaning method. You can also have a small try.
The XX hydraulic manufacturing company in Germany
has been rooted in the hydraulic system equipment of the airport for many
years. A batch of hydraulic pressure reducing valves purchased by the novice
Carla at the beginning of the year were repeatedly complained by the airport,
which brought a lot of losses to the company's after-sales service and alerted
the boss. In the first half of last year, Carla’s company sold hydraulic power
units to Malaysia, which is used to supply emergency fuel to aircraft at the
airport. The equipment was reported for repair after running for about a month.
The after-sales engineer handled it at Kuala Lumpur Airport and locked the
abnormality of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves according to the fault
code. Finally, it was found that the sealing ring of the hydraulic pressure
reducing valves was corroded, affecting the operation of the equipment.
The engineer asked Carla to mail the new sealing ring
to the site within 2 weeks. The manufacturer of the original hydraulic pressure
reducing valves learned that the sealing ring was seriously corroded and was
willing to replace with fluororubber sealing rings, which have the best
corrosion resistance, for free. The manufacturer also reminded Carla that when
she placed the order, the medium used in the hydraulic pressure reducing valves
was not specified, so the conventional nitrile rubber sealing rings were
equipped. Considering that Carla is a novice, he is willing to offer
replacements for free.
Carla thought that the abnormal hydraulic pressure
reducing valves were solved in this way. Unexpectedly, the same problem
occurred only two months after the replacement. The customer was angry and said
that if the second after-sales service still couldn't solved the problem at one
time, all the equipment would be returned. Carla went to the original
manufacturer of hydraulic pressure reducing valves again, and the manufacturer gave
up, because the fluororubber seal ring was their best choice. Now Carla was
worried and had to turn to her purchasing director for help. The director asked
her to contact AAK hydraulic valves first. If AAK still cannot solve it, there
will be no need to waste time on Chinese hydraulic pressure reducing valve
manufacturers and can only purchase from Germany.
After receiving the email, AAK replied that she
should not worry. According to the drawing parameters of her hydraulic pressure
reducing valve, it matches a hydraulic pressure reducing valve used in aircraft
completely that AAK produced for a Russian customer reorder some time ago. We
still have some quantity in stock, and can ensure that AAK hydraulic pressure
reducing valves will not be reported for repair for at least one year. The next
day, AAK sent 10 hydraulic pressure reducing valves to Kuala Lumpur Airport.
Carla emailed us a few days ago that after using AAK
hydraulic pressure reducing valves, the equipment has been running smoothly for
6 months, while the ones from the original manufacturer were reported for
repair in 2 months. She was surprised by the sealing ring of AAK hydraulic
pressure reducing valves.
AAK can't be careless in details. Like the original manufacturer,
not to check the use medium of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves, but ship
order blindly, this is zero tolerance for AAK. The aircraft hydraulic system
uses highly corrosive aviation blue oil. Even the fluororubber sealing ring
considered as the best by most manufacturers is still not suitable for this
medium. Three years ago, AAK tested for many times and found that EPDM seal
ring is the most suitable for aviation blue oil medium. Its special molecular
structure is highly chemically stable, especially the anti-aging property is
several times that of fluorine rubber. This is also the reason why Russian
customer has been reordering the hydraulic pressure reducing valves on aircraft
from AAK.
AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves have tips on sealing
rings, which can be used in the airport. Peers can't think of it. You are
welcome to give it a try!
Yesterday, a person of the same export trade of hydraulic
valves came to my office. He
lamented that it was too difficult to do the export of hydraulic valves. I
thought he met someone who blackmailed him.
He said that the export of hydraulic valves is B2B
business. Because the hydraulic valve industry is too professional, he can't
contact the decision-makers. From the first hydraulic valve inquiry from buyer to
the final shipment, the whole delivery time is long, and it's too difficult to
complete an order.
This seems to be a common problem of B2B business. I
suggest him read the book "the life that has not been destroyed".
There is a sentence in the book: the real great is life. After being destroyed
so many times, it is the most meaningful to live and die, and to have a bright
future. Every time we are confused, it is the hidden willows and bright flowers
that life gives us.
AAK hydraulic valves, every product is exported to overseas.
Whether it is the test order of hydraulic valves delivered by express, the
urgent air shipment of hydraulic valves or the big sea shipment of hydraulic
valves, it is the result of customers' trust in AAK. The hydraulic valves have
strong professionalism, long delivery time, high amount and complex
decision-making process, which requires the direct decision-making of senior
management and even the boss. It's really difficult to break through layers and
open the door of a hydraulic valve order. AAK is not in a hurry to close the
deal of hydraulic valves, but regards it as a process of slowly accumulating
influence, which is suddenly enlightened.
AAK hydraulic valves have
invested a lot of money in equipment upgrading, a lot of people in technical
iteration and a lot of time in output content. Our ultimate goal is only to
influence. Moisten things silently. Day after day, insist on using high
stability hydraulic valves, high-quality content and high return rate of
reputation to open the door of decision-makers of large companies. AAK
hydraulic valves, with tolerance, planted a seed called "AAK
influence".
Many times, slow down the heart but work diligently and
silently, until one day, when you meet a stranger offline, after greeting, he
said to you: I already know you. I've read your content. It's really good. At this
time, you will succeed. AAK hydraulic valves are just going this way.
AAK
hydraulic valves only appear in the time and space you urgently need.
Today's weather is
fine and I'm in a good mood, too. It took us 6 months to finally send the
samples of the hydraulic counterbalance valves used in the sandstorm to Leonard. Their company has
operated hydraulic equipment in Italy for more than 30 years. Leonard has been
successful in purchasing hydraulic valves. AAK is their old supplier of
hydraulic valves, but he has not purchased hydraulic balance valves from AAK
yet. In the past, I asked why there was no inquiry or sampling of hydraulic counterbalance
valves. He advised that their hydraulic counterbalance valves were purchased from
another supplier who had cooperated for many years.
At
the beginning of last year, Leonard sent an inquiry for the hydraulic counterbalance
valves. At that time, I was a little surprised. I estimated that he had trouble
purchasing hydraulic counterbalance valves from the original manufacturer.
After communication, it was learned that their company had a batch of hydraulic
equipment sold to the Middle East in previous years, and the hydraulic counterbalance
valves used had to be replaced almost every 6 months. The customer was not very
satisfied with this high-frequency after-sales service. The original
manufacturer said that the hydraulic counterbalance valves used in other places
do not need to be replaced for 1 or 2 years. There is often haze or sandstorm
weather in the desert areas of the Middle East, and the solid particles will
virtually cause corrosion to the exposed surface of the hydraulic counterbalance
valves, resulting in a high replacement frequency of the hydraulic counterbalance
valves, and there is no good way to solve it at present.
Leonard
contacted AAK to improve their after-sales service. Try AAK hydraulic counterbalance
valves to see if they can be used for more than 6 months in a sandstorm
environment. According to the hydraulic counterbalance valve drawings from
Leonard, the parameter requirements are of medium grade. The core is to select
the stainless steel with the best corrosion resistance as the external parts of
the hydraulic counterbalance valves. I suggest Leonard ask his customer to send
the particles in the worst weather to AAK, analyze the PH of the environment,
and then increase the PH by 30% to test the service life of different steels.
Three
months later, Leonard asked about the progress of the hydraulic counterbalance
valve samples and joked that if AAK development is successful this time, all
their future hydraulic counterbalance valves will be purchased from AAK. Another
three months later, a special steel produced by ArcelorMittal group from
Luxembourg was successfully tested by AAK technical team. Using this special
steel as the external part of the hydraulic counterbalance valves can ensure
corrosion resistance for at least 1 year. It took us 6 months to finally send
samples of the hydraulic counterbalance valves used in sandstorm to Leonard. We
also told Leonard that the production cost of hydraulic counterbalance valves
made of special materials has been increased by 40%. Leonard said that if AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valves are durable for more than 1 year, even if it is
40% higher, it is cheaper than using the original manufacturer's hydraulic
counterbalance valves that need after-sales service twice a year. Last week
Leonard emailed that the customer reported that AAK hydraulic counterbalance
valves had been used for 9 months and there was no corrosion trace on the
surface. The headache corrosion problem should be solved.
Leonard
privately informed that AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves still have a
three-month test period. If there is no customer repair report within 1 year, AAK
will be their hydraulic counterbalance valve supplier in the future. I think
this is the best return for AAK R & D ability.
AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valves, which can't be achieved by peers, you can also
give it a try!
William comes from a
Canadian hydraulic equipment company and has purchased hydraulic valve blocks in
Ningbo for several years. AAK also supplies several difficult hydraulic valve
blocks to their company. Although the quantity is not big, AAK service makes
William very satisfied. In the second half of last year, William emailed an
inquiry for a big quantity of order for hydraulic valve blocks. William said
that the quotation was 40% higher than that of other hydraulic valve block
manufacturers. I'm not surprised at all that he advised that the price of AAK
hydraulic valve block is 40% higher.
According to the
hydraulic valve block drawing provided by William, AAK engineers found that
according to the working condition requirements of the hydraulic valve block
and the minimum wall thickness between two adjacent parallel holes (including
installation threaded holes) in the middle of the valve block designed on the hydraulic
valve block drawing is less than 4mm, the 6061-T6 Aluminum material marked in
the drawing is not suitable, because this wall thickness can not bear the
pressure of 350bar at all. During the operation of the equipment, the hydraulic
valve block is likely to be broken down because it cannot withstand high
pressure, that is, the materials used for the hydraulic valve block must be
changed, rather than blindly follow the original hydraulic valve block drawing.
AAK uses 7075-T6 aviation aluminum, which is the root cause of 40% higher
price. A week later, William replied that he also sent the inquiry to the old hydraulic
valve block supplier and more than 10 other hydraulic valve block
manufacturers, but none of them suggested change the aluminum materials. He wondered
whether AAK deliberately changed the materials for more profits. This large order
of hydraulic valve blocks had been placed with the original supplier. Then I
replied with a few words: good luck.
Two months later,
William sent an email saying that he regretted that he had not followed AAK
suggestion at the beginning. The hydraulic valve block sample from old supplier
was debugged 3 days after the equipment was installed. The manufacturer of the
hydraulic valve blocks said that the sample was completely in accordance with
the drawing and the development cost could not be refunded. The equipment
commissioning time was wasted. The boss was very unhappy and asked William to try
AAK samples even if the price was 40% higher, and asked to send the hydraulic
valve block samples as soon as possible. AAK uses 7075-T6 aviation aluminum to
make samples by soonest. After 30 days, AAK sent 2 samples of hydraulic valve
blocks.
Last Monday, when I opened
the mailbox, I saw the unread email of hydraulic valve blocks from William. I
knew that AAK hydraulic valve blocks passed the test of equipment commissioning.
After opening, as expected, he placed a large order of 800 hydraulic valve
blocks at one time. He also felt sorry to mistake AAK professional suggestion
for deception.
The 6061-T6 material on his
hydraulic valve block drawing is only suitable for hydraulic valve blocks with
a pressure below 220bar and a wall thickness of more than 5mm. Compared with
6061-T6, 7075-T6 aviation aluminum material has high strength, high hardness,
more precision, good toughness, can be pressed or impacted for a long time, is
not easy to deform, and has excellent wear resistance and fatigue resistance.
It is the aluminum alloy with the highest strength at present.
AAK hydraulic valve block is highly
professional and cost-effective. You can also have a small try!
According to the financial dept
this morning, there was a sample fee for hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves.
I knew it was from ROQUET company in Spain. One year ago, Domingo in their
company had a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve that needed AAK to make
samples, but was unwilling to pay $2,000 of the sampling fee. The original factory
didn't need them to pay, so they chose that factory to produce this hydraulic pilot-operated
relief valve. Last week, Domingo came to me again to ask if there was time for sampling
and they would pay the sampling fee.
After communication, it was learned
that the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves shipped by the original factory
were used in the hydraulic power unit. Less than half a year, it was reported
for repair by the customer. It is easy to have insufficient power supply of the
hydraulic system during the construction process. The after-sales engineer
found that the wear of the valve spool of the hydraulic pilot-operated relief
valves led to leakage. He had to use the alternative pilot-operated relief
valves first and asked Domingo to contact the original manufacturer to solve
the problem. The original manufacturer reported that the hydraulic pilot-operated
relief valves had not been worn for more than 1 year previously. The working
pressure is more than 450bar this time. The domestic hydraulic pilot-operated relief
valves can only have a service life of half a year. If you want to find a
hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve with a service life of more than 1 year,
you can only buy it from HAWE in Germany. They are the best manufacturer of
hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves with high pressure resistance in the
world, but the price is estimated to be more than twice that of Chinese
manufacturers.
Domingo was a little helpless and
asked the boss whether to purchase directly from HAWE in Germany or continue to
look for hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve manufacturers in China. Because
the alternative hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves were used on the
construction site, they still had a 6-month buffer period. The boss asked him
to look for the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves under high pressure at
the same time. At this moment, he thought of AAK. When I told him that the key
point of the service life of this hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve is to
resist high pressure, AAK has an engineer who has worked in HAWE Shanghai factory
for 8 years, our production of high-pressure hydraulic valves is just to benchmark
with that of German HAWE company, he seems to realize that perhaps AAK can
sample a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve with a service life of more than
1 year this time.
AAK replied that it could complete
the samples of 12 hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves within 1 month, and
the warranty was more than 1 year. Domingo remitted the sample fee of US$2,000
the next day. I asked him why he was unwilling to pay last time, but this time
he immediately paid the sample fee of the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves.
He was frank about two points. First, AAK mentioned the key points for the success
of the sample. Second, AAK high-pressure hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves
benchmarked with German HAWE company.
The reason why AAK can tell the key
points and why it can benchmark with German HAWE company is that there are two
key points of AAK pilot-operated relief valves. It may be difficult to find the
second manufacturer of hydraulic valves in Ningbo.
1. The valve spool of AAK pilot-operated
relief valve is ETG100 produced by STEELTEC company of Switzerland, which is
easy to cut and has high strength. It is suitable for high-speed CNC
processing, and the strength of each section inside and outside the material is
consistent. After the valve spool is processed into shape, the strength will
not be affected.
2. AAK has a
high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland. After the
engineers set the program, they can control the steel processing efficiently
and without mistakes. Not only the strength is not affected, but also the
accuracy is guaranteed.
AAK hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve is used for working pressure
above 450bar. You can also have a small try!
Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, the number of exports in the past 2 years is slowly
increasing, which also seems to indicate that the quality of Chinese hydraulic
valves has been recognized. Ten years ago, almost all
Chinese hydraulic valves were supplied to domestic equipment manufacturers, and
AAK began to provide samples for HydraForce. AAK hydraulic valves have indeed
made a lot of progress in manufacturing / R & D in recent years, especially
the export of high-pressure hydraulic valves. According to the data of Ningbo
customs, AAK hydraulic valves account for more than 68%.
The rapid growth of AAK
hydraulic valves is due to the strict ODM, operation specification and quality
control process for these big brands, which is more strict than the ISO
certification system. When we communicate with any hydraulic valve customer, we
don't care much about the specific PO amount of a hydraulic valve, but focus on
the cooperation opportunities with him, the supply relationship of common
destiny, especially the market prospect.
AAK hydraulic valves
have surpassed many peers in the market and research and development in recent
years, but in the part of the market, especially in the mature developed
market, there is a weakness in the market experience. Using AAK hydraulic valves
manufacturing and R & D capabilities, combining with customers' industry
experience and business creativity to jointly build a hydraulic valve supply
chain system is our direction. It must be admitted that the way of thinking of
European and American people in many commercial parts is worthy of our reference
and learning. Therefore, AAK hydraulic valves expect to establish a business
relationship of the community of common destiny with real hydraulic valve
customers.
Today, the new
generation of hydraulic valve practitioners in Europe and the United States has
been separated from manufacturing for decades. Their difficulty is how to find
a healthy, sustainable, guaranteed and common fate hydraulic valve supply chain
and effectively realize the actual commercial delivery. Perhaps, China's small
and medium-sized hydraulic valve enterprises and European and American small
and medium-sized hydraulic valve enterprises will find a better combination of
interests, and then jointly create new users, which may be a new trend of
globalization in the future.
COVID-19 is impeding
the development of globalization, but the globalization of hydraulic valves can
not stop itself. The globalization of Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers
will not only stay at the level of hydraulic valve manufacturing and export. AAK
is more concerned about how to make effective use of the favorable position of
AAK hydraulic valve manufacturing and R & D, and then combine the business
experience of the local market of developed countries to resort out and shape
the innovative hydraulic valve business model, such as the software service
module or platform of a hydraulic valve supply chain system.
If AAK uses our
hydraulic valve manufacturing and R & D capabilities and customers use
their own industry experience and business creativity, such a combination must
be 1 + 1 greater than 2. Know + do = get. 99% of people didn't get it in the end
because they didn't do it at all. Why not AAK hydraulic valves to do it? Here
we are coming.......
AAK hydraulic valves,
just change for you, with temperature from AAK hydraulic valves
Kayden, from AH Garner company in
the UK, has successfully purchased hydraulic valve blocks in Ningbo in recent
years, and has cooperated with AAK on some high requirements hydraulic valve
blocks for many years. He sent an email at the end of last year: I need AAK’s
help. After communication, we learned that a new hydraulic equipment of their
company was complained by customers about oil leakage in about 3 months. After
inspection, their after-sales personnel found that when the equipment is
switched with high-speed and high-frequency action under high pressure, the
small O-ring of the cover plate of the hydraulic valve block is prone to oil
leakage. The engineer asked Kayden to find the original supplier to replace the
hydraulic valve blocks or cartridge valves. Unfortunately, Kayden purchased the
hydraulic valve blocks and threaded cartridge valves from two factories. The
manufacturer of the hydraulic valve blocks replied that the thread size
accuracy of the cartridge valves did not meet the standard and caused oil
leakage, while the cartridge valve manufacturer said that the accuracy of the hydraulic
valve blocks did not meet the standard.
The hydraulic valve blocks and
cartridge valves have passed the inspection. How can there be a problem as soon
as they are assembled on the equipment? Kayden suspected that the design of the
hydraulic valve block was flawed, but the engineer thought the design drawing was
in line with the principle. The customer didn't receive the solution, and
complained to the boss, who asked Kayden to completely solve the oil leakage problem
of the hydraulic valve blocks within 30 days. Now Kayden was stumped and didn't
have a clue.
I asked Kayden to send us the
drawings of the hydraulic valve block and cartridge valve, and system
principles. AAK engineers found no problems after analysis. Our engineer asked
Kayden to provide the video after the equipment was started up. Combined with
the system schematic diagram and equipment fault video, our engineer judged
that the position of installing O-ring at the interface of hydraulic valve
block and cartridge valve was inappropriate. If the position of the O-ring is
lowered, and the cover plate O-ring is completely free of oil, install and
fasten the cartridge valve cover plate, and produce the hydraulic valve block
and cartridge valve in a same factory, the oil leakage problem of the hydraulic
valve block may be solved completely. Kayden seems to have seen the dawn and
asked AAK to make samples.
After 25 days, AAK sent out the integrated
hydraulic valve block sample. A few days ago, Kayden emailed us that it has
been 3 months since the hydraulic valve block was replaced with AAK samples, the
equipment works normally without oil leakage. Kayden told me that AH Garner engineer
admired AAK’s strictness in details. It is so obvious, why didn't he find such
an obvious problem?
In order to make sure that the integrated
hydraulic valve block is 100% free of oil leakage, it is not only necessary to be
strict on the position of the O-ring, but also the installation of the O-ring
on the hydraulic valve block. On the premise of ensuring the reasonable
compression of the O-ring, it is necessary to avoid oil in the annular sealing
surface of the O-ring, and any displacement of the O-ring will be in an
oil-free lubrication state, so as to improve the displacement resistance.
Kayden privately told us that the
boss praised his quick and thorough solution to the problem, and asked him to
purchase integrated hydraulic valve blocks from AAK in the future.
AAK hydraulic valve blocks, be
strict in every detail, you are welcome to have a small try.
Zero from Italy
often purchases hydraulic valve blocks. In previous years, his customer gave 95
days for delivery date. Some time ago, the customer had an urgent order for 1,200pcs
of hydraulic valve blocks, and there was only 60 days from the sample of
hydraulic valve blocks to delivery. For non-standard hydraulic valve blocks,
the lead time is less than 30 days from drawing design, sample, service life
test, production and delivery. Zero consulted all hydraulic valve block
manufacturers in cooperation. They all said that it would take 60 days to
complete the urgent order of 1,200 hydraulic valve blocks only for production,
and the lead time in 90 days is necessary. Zero can't refuse the customer
directly, so he has to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks.
Zero also understands
that it is not easy to find a reliable manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks.
Moreover, this is an urgent order, and the processing of hydraulic valve blocks
is also complex. There was no reply from all the manufacturers he contacted on
the Internet. Occasionally, he mentioned this urgent order of hydraulic valve
blocks with his friend Caled. Caled introduced him to try AAK hydraulic valves.
Caled is a customer that I have worked with for several years on integrated
valve blocks. Caled told Zero that AAK helped him solve several urgent orders
for manifolds, and the quality was guaranteed.
Zero said frankly
that he was introduced by Caled and hoped to get our help. According to the
drawing sent by zero, the hydraulic valve block has long and thin channels and
complex oil circuit design, which is unbearable for general processing. AAK
technical team first arranged the production procedure and calculated the daily
output of hydraulic valve blocks. It would take 30 days to complete this urgent
order. While Zero was pleased, he seemed a little worried about the quality of
AAK hydraulic valve blocks. Three weeks later, their engineers tested AAK hydraulic
valve block samples. The overall accuracy parameter of the hydraulic valve
block is 5% higher than that of the original manufacturer, which proves what
Caled has mentioned that AAK quality mentioned is guaranteed.
After working
overtime for 30 days, AAK successfully completed the urgent order of 1,200
hydraulic valve blocks for Zero, which is half less than the 60 days of lead
time required by peers. Zero was surprised how AAK achieved it?
AAK adopts the
machining center of compound tools to combine two or more similar or different
types of hole machining tools into one special tool. In the process of machining,
reduce the tools required for machining X, Y, V and U partial views, and
complete the process combination of multiple processes such as drilling,
reaming, spot facing and boring. At the same time, one tool can simultaneously
process threaded bottom holes, 45 °, 15 °, R0.1 chamfer and outer counter bore,
which greatly improve the processing efficiency and have the characteristics of
high efficiency, high precision and high stability. This is the reason why AAK completed
the urgent order of these hydraulic valve blocks in only 30 days, while most
hydraulic valve manufacturers can't control the processing technology of compound
tools.
AAK hydraulic valve
blocks, processed with compound tools, are not only with high precision but
also high stability. Welcome you to have a try.
Petrov is an old purchaser of Hydrosila Group in
Russia. He cooperates with AAK on some non-standard hydraulic pilot operated relief
valves and often discusses some difficulties and complications of hydraulic pilot
operated relief valves. In the second half of last year, they needed to purchase
a hydraulic pilot operated relief valve to test an agricultural machinery equipment. Due to urgent time, Petrov purchased from a Russian
hydraulic relief valve manufacturer, who delivered 30 hydraulic pilot operated
relief valves in 30 days. During the test run, the hydraulic pilot operated relief
valves screamed at about 1.5MPa before opening, as well as at the start and
stop. Petrov contacted the manufacturer of the hydraulic relief valves, and the
manufacturer replied that the non-standard customization was completely based
on the drawings provided, and the dimensional accuracy also met the
requirements. Their engineers independently tested the hydraulic relief valves
and found that there was really no abnormality. The boss was dissatisfied with
the one week of delay due to the test run and asked Petrov to repurchase the hydraulic
pilot operated relief valves.
Because the hydraulic relief valve problems encountered
before were solved by AAK, Petrov emailed me again. AAK engineer preliminarily
judged that there may be problems in the design of the hydraulic pilot operated
relief valve according to his fault description, the drawings of the pilot operated
relief valve, the working parameters of the hydraulic system of agricultural
machinery, and the video of the test machine. Knowing that he still has one
month of flexibility, AAK can modify the original design of the hydraulic pilot
operated relief valve and send 12 samples within 30 days. Four weeks later, AAK
sent 20 samples of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves, which were installed
and debugged without screaming, and the hydraulic power unit was started or
closed for many times still without screaming.
Petrov was surprised
that AAK engineer found and solved the problem of hydraulic relief valveS at
one time, while the original Russian hydraulic relief valve manufacturer can do
nothing?
Because the scream of pilot
operated relief valve is often generated by high-pressure oil through damping
hole or valve port, AAK engineer added inclined hole of valve seat and
vibration elimination cavity in the original design. In this way, the dynamic
and static characteristics of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve can be
improved, the screaming can be eliminated, the noise can be reduced, and the
pressure control accuracy can be improved at the same time. AAK strong
engineering team not only has the concept of German HAWE, but also has the
experience of Italian Oil Control,the problem can be found at one time.
After the successful test
run, Petrov privately told us that the boss was very satisfied that he found a
strong manufacturer of hydraulic relief valves this time, which not only solved
the problems that the original Russian manufacturer could not solve, but also
made the price 30% cheaper. AAK will be his first choice for the test order of
hydraulic relief valves in the future.
AAK hydraulic relief
valves, super technical team, you can also have a small try!
Last Friday, James emailed that he would place an
order for 1,200 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves for his last inquiry. This
is the PO he sent to AAK after visiting 6 China hydraulic valve factories. It
is a little surprised the first cooperation is 1,200 hydraulic threaded
cartridge valves. James is from Spain. At the beginning of last year, he was
assigned by the headquarters to the Guangzhou office to be responsible for the purchasing
from China hydraulic valve factories. In early March, James sent an email
saying that the epidemic policy of Ningbo can accept visitors. For the
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve quoted last time, the headquarters asked him
to visit the China hydraulic valve factories before placing an order. He
planned to visit China hydraulic valve factories in Ningbo a few days later. AAK
hydraulic valve is his first stop. Three days later, James came to AAK hydraulic
valve and asked to visit the workshop directly instead of the office.
I took James to visit the whole production line of AAK
hydraulic valve, from the first raw material inspection to the processing of
hydraulic threaded cartridge valves, including heat treatment of semi-finished
products, rough machining, finishing, cleaning, inspection of parts, assembly,
inspection, packaging, warehousing and other processes. We also introduced the
equipment and processing advantages and characteristics of AAK hydraulic valves.
He looked the fixtures modified by ourselves for a long time. Two hours later,
James said he would go to other China hydraulic valve factories and left AAK.
I'm not sure how many days he stayed in Ningbo and
visited how many China hydraulic valve factories. I didn't know about his trip
to Ningbo until his email last Friday. He visited 6 China hydraulic valve
factories. I asked James why he chose AAK hydraulic valve to place an order
after visit 6 China hydraulic valve factories and placed such a large order
directly to AAK suddenly.
James replied that AAK is the most distinctive China
hydraulic valve factory in China he has seen, mainly including the following
details:
1、AAK advanced Swiss imported CNC machine tools, honing machines, CNC
precision automatic lathes and pressure test bench impressed him deeply,
especially those modified fixtures, which have not been seen in other China
hydraulic valve factories.
2、AAK has 6 senior engineers in the industry, especially the hydraulic
valves in the high-pressure category, with the concept of German HAWE, which
makes him feel at ease about quality. AAK inspectors used a strong spotlight to
check the valve hole, which made him refreshing. In particular, a few of those
whose finish does not meet the requirements are picked out, which shows that AAK
is harsh on quality. He has never seen such detailed inspection in other China
hydraulic valve factories he visited.
3、Although the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve of AAK is about 10 ~ 20%
more expensive than the other 5 China hydraulic valve factories, he believes
that the service life of AAK hydraulic valves is 1 ~ 2 times longer than that
of them.
China hydraulic valve factory, AAK has a cleanliness
obsession in quality, which is even more QC than QC. You can also have a small
try!
At 05:10 this morning, I was listening to music and
browsing emails. Billy, who had no news in 9 months, sent an email. Without reading
the email, I could guess that the hydraulic check valve developed by AAK for 3
months last year had a result. Opening Billy's e-mail and it is an annual order
of 5,000 hydraulic check valves at one time, with about 500 hydraulic check
valves delivered every month. Billy is from a hydraulic equipment company in
the United States, he has purchased a small number of high-pressure resistant
hydraulic check valves from AAK in the past. At the beginning of last year, his
company received complaints from a customer that its high-power bulldozers were
prone to weak starting of the hydraulic system after being used in less than
half a year. The after-sales engineer found that the hydraulic check valves
leaked and can not maintain the pressure and caused the problem.
Billy contacted the original manufacturer of the
hydraulic check valves, and manufacturer advised that the system pressure of
the high-power bulldozer exceeded 450bar, and the opening and closing frequency
was also high. When the hydraulic check valve was in the high-pressure state
above 450bar, the valve spool was worn quickly, and the service life could only
be guaranteed as 1 million times. Therefore, it was normal to replace the
hydraulic check valves every half a year. If you want a hydraulic check valve
with a service life of 2 million times, you can only purchase it from German HAWE.
Billy has no choice but to make do with the hydraulic check valves of the
original manufacturer first, but the after-sales cost every half a year is
really unbearable. Maybe other manufacturers can offer hydraulic check valves
with service life more than 1 million times. Billy began to contact other factories,
including AAK.
After receiving Billy's email, AAK engineers had reached a conclusion according
to the hydraulic check valve drawings and bulldozer working parameters. In
order to exceed the service life of 2 million times of the hydraulic check
valves, we can only test new high-pressure resistant materials. We replied
Billy at that time that according to the existing steel options of AAK, what
your original manufacturer said was right, it can only guarantee the service
life of 1 million times of the hydraulic check valves. However, we are
confident to develop the one of 2 million times, because we have our own R
& D experience in anti-high pressure.
Billy replied directly that AAK would be given 3
months to sample the hydraulic check valves with pressure resistance above 450
bar. He also frankly informed that two other hydraulic check valve
manufacturers were also making samples. If all manufacturers fail, they can
only buy high-pressure hydraulic check valves from German HAWE. Three months
later, AAK successfully sent 20 hydraulic check valve samples to Billy. Nine
months later, the email came from Billy today. Billy noted the sample testing results
in the email. The bulldozer equipped with AAK hydraulic check valve was still
normal after 9 months, while the hydraulic check valves from another two
manufacturers were eliminated in the 6th and 8th months.
AAK hydraulic check valve has a pressure resistance
of more than 450 bar and a service life of more than 2 million times, because:
1. AAK has engineer who have worked in the
Shanghai factory of German HAWE for 11 years and has experience in high pressure
resistance.
2. We have tested more than 20 kinds of steel and selected the most suitable
35CrMo steel to produce the valve spool of this hydraulic check valve.
3.
Good materials also
need good processing. The heat treatment method adopted by AAK for 35CrMo alloy
steel is 845 ℃ annealing, 860 ℃ quenching (oil quenching) and 200 ℃ low
temperature tempering. After this special heat treatment, its hardness and wear
resistance are increased by at least 50%.
AAK hydraulic check valve, can resist pressure of
more than 450bar, you can also have a small try!
This morning, Joselito sent an email asking about
the production time of 1,000 hydraulic manifold blocks, which surprised me a
little, because in the past two years, Joselito has basically placed orders for
just hydraulic valves only, but very few for the hydraulic manifold blocks.
Joselito is a purchaser of BEZARES company in Spain. We met 2 years ago. After
communication, it was learned that he encountered problem on the hydraulic manifold
blocks purchased this time.
A batch of hydraulic winch equipment of their
company was complained by some users that the winch was often weak. Their after
sales found that the hydraulic manifold block was leaking. Because of the
purchase cost limitation, he disassembled the hydraulic manifold blocks and purchased
them separately from 3 hydraulic valve manufacturers. Now the leakage problem
of the hydraulic manifold blocks has come, all 3 manufactures prevaricate and
are not responsible for the oil leakage of the hydraulic manifold blocks, they
thought that the problem was caused by the unreasonable design or the wrong
installation method of the hydraulic manifold blocks. The engineer checked the
hydraulic manifold blocks one by one and found different problems, some sealing
ring was broken, some gasket at the interface was worn, and some has iron
filings in the valve hole. In the past year, a lot of money, labor and maintenance
costs were spent on the after-sales for the hydraulic manifold blocks. Now the
customers are not satisfied with their after-sales performance, and the boss is
not happy to spend the after-sales money indiscriminately. Joselito has a big
headache.
AAK suggests that Joselito should purchase the whole
hydraulic manifold blocks in one factory as much as possible, because each
hydraulic valve manufacturer has different quality positioning. AAK has now
received more and more inquiries for hydraulic manifold blocks, including Skyjack,
a Canadian listed company, and Brevini, a top company in the field of
transmission.
Joselito finalized the purchase
contract of the hydraulic manifold blocks with AAK in two rounds, and required
that AAK hydraulic manifold blocks should not be reported for repair within 1
year. It is not only the hydraulic valves and hydraulic manifold blocks
produced by AAK with quality assurance, but also 3 points that are difficult
for peers to do well:
1.
AAK shall deeply
clean the hydraulic manifold blocks before assembly to ensure that it is 100%
free of iron filings, dirt and other impurities.
2.
Only technicians
with more than 10 years of experience are qualified to assemble, check the
matching between the duct and the hydraulic schematic diagram, and test the
accuracy of each duct to ensure that the sealing ring of the hydraulic valves
will not be damaged. After assembly, use the test bench to debug the hydraulic manifold
blocks for many times, including pressure test and function test, to ensure
that the action function of the circuit is accurate and reliable. Such
technicians and such operation procedures may not be found in the 3rd hydraulic
valve manufacturer in Ningbo.
3.
AAK
technical team has engineers from the world's top 500 hydraulic manifold block enterprises.
They have their own experience in material selection, production drawing design
and production line quality control.
AAK hydraulic manifold
blocks are not only professional, welcome to have a small try!
AAK hydraulic valve
blocks are processed with compound cutting tools, and the production efficiency
is nearly 50% higher than that of peers. At the same time, the precision of
hydraulic valve blocks is also improved by 5%. AAK completed the urgent order
of 1,000 hydraulic valve blocks in only 30 days, while most hydraulic valve
block manufacturers can't control the processing technology of compound cutting
tools. German customers are also attracted by it.
It's a little
strange that since the second half of last year, many inquiries about hydraulic
valve blocks have an urgent delivery date. They need to be shipped within 20
days or finished within 30 days. For non-standard hydraulic valve blocks, from
production drawing design, sample, life test, production to delivery, the vast
majority of hydraulic valve block manufacturers need 45-60 days. But this is
desperate for the customers with urgent order of hydraulic valve blocks, and
Bach in Germany is one of them.
Bach wanted to
purchase 1,000 pcs of hydraulic valve blocks a few weeks ago. His customer
requested that the goods be delivered to Germany in 50-60 days, but the
quotation of the local factory in Germany exceeded his budget. He could only
find the manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks in Ningbo, that is, goods need
to be shipped in 30 days. Bach contacted nearly 20 hydraulic valve block
manufacturers, but none of them can complete the production of 1,000 hydraulic
valve blocks in 30 days.
A few days ago, we
received Bach's message on AAK website (www.aakindustry.com): I saw an article
on B2B that "AAK processes hydraulic valve blocks with compound cutting
tools, and the delivery time is 30 days faster than peers". Can AAK
complete non-standard hydraulic valve blocks in 30 days? After communication, I
learned that Bach was troubled by the delivery date of hydraulic valve blocks.
I directly told him that the 30 days of lead time for 1,000pcs of hydraulic
valve blocks is enough for AAK.
AAK adopts the
compound cutting tool processing technology that most hydraulic valve block
manufacturers can't control, that is, combining two or more similar or
different types of hole processing tools into a special composite tool. In the
process of machining, reduce the tools required for machining X, Y, V and U
partial views, and complete the process combination of multiple processes such
as drilling, reaming, spot facing and boring. At the same time, one tool can
simultaneously process threaded bottom holes, 45 °, 15 °, R0.1 chamfering and
external counterbore, which greatly improve the processing efficiency and have
the characteristics of high efficiency, high precision and high stability. This
is the "trump card" of AAK to improve the production efficiency. The
production efficiency is nearly 50% higher than that of its peers. At the same
time, the precision of hydraulic valve blocks is also increased by 5%.
Five days later,
the hydraulic valve block sample was successfully sent out. Less than a week
later, Bach told AAK that the test results of the hydraulic valve block made
him admire. The technical parameters of AAK hydraulic valves have caught up
with the local factory in Germany, but the price is 30% cheaper, and the
delivery is more than 30 days faster. The sample was approved for mass
production at the first time, and the hydraulic valve blocks were shipped
smoothly after 30 days.
AAK hydraulic valve
blocks, processed with compound cutting tools are not only fast, high precision
but also stable. You are welcome to try the order.
Isacco
compared more than 10 hydraulic manifold factories. No manufacturer can achieve
the light hydraulic manifold with pressure resistance of 450MPa, and AAK successfully
completed the sample at one time. At the beginning of last year, Isacco’s
company developed an aviation hydraulic power unit, which is the first time for
SICMI company to try aviation equipment. Their customer specially mentioned
that the hydraulic manifold should withstand a high pressure of more than
450MPa, especially pay attention to the weight of the hydraulic valve block,
because the aviation equipment has strict restrictions on the weight of each part,
and this hydraulic valve block must be made of ultra light aluminum.
Isacco got the purchase list of hydraulic manifolds.
First, he contacted the current hydraulic manifold manufacturers. Only 3
manufacturers agreed to try samples, and other manufacturers gave up. 1 month
later, Isacco successively received the hydraulic manifold samples. After
installation and commissioning, the high pressure resistance test of the
hydraulic manifolds from 2 factories failed. Although the pressure resistance
test of the hydraulic manifold of the 3rd factory was successful, its weight
was more than 20% higher. Isacco asked the 3rd hydraulic manifold manufacturer
to re-sample, but the manufacturer advised that 7075 aviation aluminum is the
lightest material. Isacco had to look for new hydraulic manifold manufacturers
again. He contacted more than 10 hydraulic manifold manufacturers successively,
but there was basically no feedback.
Isacco left a message on AAK website: Does AAK have
lighter materials than 7075 aviation aluminum to produce hydraulic valve
blocks? With this message, we understand that this hydraulic manifold should be
used in aviation, not only light, but also resistant to high pressure above
450MPa. According to the hydraulic manifold drawings and working condition
requirements provided by Isacco, frankly speaking, our engineers have no ideas,
because 7075 aviation aluminum is the preferred material for our production of
high-pressure hydraulic valve blocks.
AAK hydraulic valve just likes the development
instructions given by customers, which are not involved in AAK before. We are
willing to cooperate with Isacco to crack a hard nut of this hydraulic manifold.
AAK spent more than 2 months comparing aluminum materials for 12 times and
selecting a material lighter than 7075 aviation aluminum after trying samples
for 3 times. Isacco received AAK hydraulic manifolds and conducted pressure
test. One week later, Isacco asked about the production time of 600 hydraulic
manifolds and told us that AAK was the only hydraulic manifold manufacturer
that passed the test, with a pressure of 450Mpa and a weight that met the requirements.
Why only AAK can achieve hydraulic manifolds with
high pressure resistance and light weight?
1.
AAK hydraulic valve has
an engineer who has worked in the Shanghai factory of Germany HAWE for 11 years
and has unique experience in high pressure resistance.
2.
AAK has material
engineers who is specially responsible for screening, comparison, testing and
docking with the Research Institute.
3.
This material is
independently developed in China, a patented high-strength multi-element
microalloyed cast aluminum alloy. It has light texture, strength up to 480-540Mpa
and hardness ≥ HB140. It is the preferred
material for the core components of aviation equipment.
Last week, Isacco privately informed that the
customer has a very good sales and would place a big order again. His boss was
very satisfied with his last procurement performance. After working for 3
years, he was finally promoted to procurement manager.
AAK hydraulic manifolds, can be used in aviation,
you can also have a small try!
This morning, Mason sent an email asking about the
production time of 2,000 hydraulic relief valves, which surprised me. Usually,
he just places small trial orders of hydraulic relief valves. He is going to
place a large order this time. Mason is a purchaser of BRACEBRIDGE company in
Canada. We have known each other for 2 years. After communication, it was
learned that a batch of their hydraulic pipe laying rigs had been complained
about the frequent leakage in the hydraulic pump since the previous year. The
after-sales engineer found that the cavitation was caused by the oil passing
through the hydraulic relief valves for a long time, resulting in the pressure loss
of the hydraulic cylinder. Mason contacted the original manufacturer of the
hydraulic pressure relief valves to find a solution. The manufacturer advised
that such a working environment can only replace the hydraulic relief valves
with cavitation. The trouble is that the same problem happened again half a
year later. The customer was very unhappy with this frequent after-sales, and
the boss asked Mason to replace the manufacturer of hydraulic relief valves.
Mason told his boss that there is no reliable
manufacturer of hydraulic relief valves to replace the present one. For the
sake of safety, AAK hydraulic relief valves should be selected. Because there
was equipment installed with AAK hydraulic relief valves when testing samples
at the beginning. Now 1 year later, there is still no cavitation on AAK hydraulic
relief valves. But the price of AAK hydraulic relief valve was 17% higher than
that of other manufacturers and was not selected. The boss rejected again and
asked Mason to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic relief valves. During the
continuous screening process, Mason selected 3 hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers to test samples. Basically, after half an year, these hydraulic
relief valve samples successively had similar faults.
Mason was at a loss what to do. He once again suggested
to his boss to purchase AAK hydraulic relief valves. After comparing so many
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, none of their samples can be used for
more than 1 year under this working condition. In this way, the hydraulic
relief valves need to be replaced every 6 months for after-sales. Not only the
after-sales cost is high, but the customer is also not satisfied. The boss
seems lost faith completely in other hydraulic relief valve manufacturers and
agreed with Mason to regard AAK as their preferred supplier of hydraulic relief
valves.
It took Mason 2 years to persuade his boss to choose
AAK hydraulic relief valves with 17% higher price, because he knows that the
durability of AAK hydraulic relief valves is at least twice that of other
manufacturers. Under complex working conditions, how does AAK ensure that the
hydraulic relief valves have no cavitation and its durability is more than
twice that of other manufacturers?
1. AAK hydraulic relief valve sleeve orifice
processing, the opening adopts conical hole, not cylindrical hole of other
manufacturers. Most hydraulic relief valve manufacturers do not have this ability
to process conical hole.
2. The chamfering, deburring and polishing process
is added at the orifice to further optimize the control edge, so as to reduce
the cavitation caused by the flowing oil, and at least eliminate the cavitation
within 2 years. Most hydraulic relief valve manufacturers did not expect that AAK
has such a unique skill.
3. Devils are in the details. Most hydraulic relief valve manufacturers will
ignore small details. Even if some factories think of them, they can't control
the technology.
AAK hydraulic relief valves, pay attention to every small
detail, you can also have a small try!
Christopher
is from Italian hydraulic company Hydr-app S.p.a. and responsible for the
procurement of Beijing office. At the beginning of last month, he wanted to
purchase a batch of hydraulic
flow control valves urgently from AAK,
because they had a batch of hydraulic power units sold to Southeast Asia that
needed to replace the hydraulic flow control valves. At the beginning of last
year, considering the cost and supply, his boss purchased the hydraulic flow
control valves from China, which were originally purchased from Brevini locally.
At the beginning, AAK also participated in the sampling of hydraulic flow
control valves, but was cancelled because the quotation of AAK was more than
25% higher than that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers. Half a year later, they were complained several times
that the hydraulic flow control valve leakage led to the unstable pressure of
the hydraulic power unit. The original manufacturer replaced some hydraulic
flow control valves, but 6 months later, similar complaints happened again,
that is, the stability of these hydraulic flow control valves was only 6
months.
Christopher
found that the AAK hydraulic flow control valve samples have been normal for
more than 1 year, which is as stable as the Brevini hydraulic flow control
valves they purchased before. He persuaded the boss to buy from AAK. Although
the price was more than 25% higher than other hydraulic valve manufacturers, but
it was about 30% cheaper than that of Italy Brevini. More interestingly, the
stability of AAK hydraulic flow control valves were not only more than twice
that of its peers, but also benchmarked Brevini.
Christopher
wants to find out why the hydraulic flow control valves of every factory samples
are qualified at the beginning. Six months later, except AAK, all other
hydraulic flow control valves will leak and affect the stability. The leakage
of hydraulic flow control valves after half a year is mostly due to the wear of
parts, that is, the unstable surface hardness of materials during heat
treatment. Most manufacturers adopt conventional heat treatment, which has
advantages in processing cost. How does AAK do it?
1. AAK hydraulic valve has its own heat
treatment plant, which can adopt different heat treatment methods in quenching,
carburizing and nitriding according to different contents of steel. AAK can
achieve the aging temperature of 420 degrees, heat preservation of more than 10H,
and can also obtain the material hardness of 65HRC.
2. The core component materials of AAK
hydraulic flow control valves use the industry's most advanced EFD Induction Sinac
heating power supply for induction heat treatment, with less oxide scale and
small deformation. The workpiece is quenched and locally heated accurately to
make the surface hardness of each processing element consistent.
3. In the later stage, AAK test the hardness of each
part of the hydraulic flow control valves point-to-point. SonoDur3, a Rockwell
hardness tester imported from Germany, is used to perform nondestructive
testing efficiently and accurately.
The Italian customer
said that the stability of AAK hydraulic flow control valves was benchmarked
with Brevini. You can also give it a try!
This morning, I received the order of 2,000 hydraulic
needle valves from Charlotte. At first, I thought she sent the email by
mistake, because Charlotte had no cooperation with AAK, we just discussed the
inquiry for her hydraulic needle valve with pressure resistance of 450bar for 3
times. It is the first time I met a hydraulic
valve customer who placed a big order after 3 times of communication. I asked her
directly why she gave AAK such a large quantity of hydraulic needle valves order
in only the first cooperation. Charlotte said that this hydraulic needle valve
was purchased from HAWE in Germany 3 years ago, because HAWE is the best
manufacturer of high-pressure hydraulic valves in the world.
Charlotte is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Spain. Last month, their company tried to purchase this high-pressure hydraulic
needle valve from Ningbo, which is the hometown of hydraulic valves in China. She
has a hydraulic valve supplier who has cooperated for 5 years and has high
mutual trust. Due to the special requirements and urgent delivery date of this
hydraulic needle valve, the original hydraulic valve supplier was unable to bear
it, so he suggested Charlotte contact AAK, and joked that if AAK could not complete
this hydraulic needle valve, she should not waste more time in Ningbo, but go
back to HAWE to purchase the high-pressure hydraulic needle valves.
I received the drawings and working condition
requirements from Charlotte. This customized hydraulic needle valve is applied
to aviation equipment. The working condition pressure is required to reach
450bar. It is required to be delivered within 50 days. The quality needs to be comparable
to that of HAWE in Germany. Just like Ningbo counterpart said, in Ningbo, there
may not be a second manufacturer who is able to produce this high-pressure
hydraulic needle valve except AAK hydraulic valve.
Charlotte was curious about why the Ningbo
counterparts recognized AAK high-pressure hydraulic needle valves so much, and
AAK was also so confident in its own high-pressure hydraulic valves. What is
the strength of AAK high-pressure hydraulic needle valves? Like horse racing,
if you want to win the gold medal, then a good horse should be equipped with a
good saddle and a good rider. What are the good horses, saddles and riders of AAK?
If you need to meet the following 3 points at the same time, you may not be
able to find a second hydraulic valve manufacturer in Ningbo to produce
high-pressure hydraulic needle valves, except AAK hydraulic valve.
1. Good horses: AAK has high-precision machine tools imported
from Switzerland, Mikron GF high-precision CNC machining center and
GILDEMEISTER turn milling composite machining center.
2. Good saddles: AAK has full-time material
engineers in material selection, who are specially responsible for screening,
comparison, testing and docking with the Research Institute. According to the
working conditions of the hydraulic valves, the suitable materials are matched
pertinently, not to use the general materials in the market.
3. Good riders: special personnel shall be assigned
to operate the special machine in key processes. Only technicians who have
worked in the workshop for at least 5 years can take up the post. There are
engineers from Shanghai factory of Germany HAWE, who have worked there for 11
years. They know all the production and processing technologies of HAWE factory
back to front. They can fully benchmark HAWE factory in terms of material
selection, process formulation, production line control, quality inspection and
other processes.
Charlotte can’t refuse the 3 unique advantages of
AAK high-pressure valves and confirmed the PO in 2 days with AAK. A single
flower does not make a spring. The improvement of products may not just due to market
competition, but also the improvement of the level of the whole industry. AAK
leads Ningbo hydraulic valve manufacturers to jointly face the high-pressure
hydraulic needle valves.
AAK high-pressure hydraulic
needle valves are recognized as a leader in the industry by counterparts.
Welcome to have a small try!
Jone is a hydraulic customer from the United States.
His company has recently developed a hydraulic relief valve suitable for
machines with high impact and high load. Because of the high requirements of
working conditions, the steel used for the hydraulic relief valve has not been approved
yet. They have been testing in the local hydraulic relief valve manufacturers
in the United States for several weeks. Due to the high cost of proofing in the
United States, they want to turn to Chinese hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers for sampling and testing.
Jone compared more than 10 hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers and selected 3 to make samples. After receiving and testing the samples
of hydraulic relief valves, none of them can meet the requirements of service
conditions, and the test results are much worse than those of local
manufacturers in the United States. Although these 3 hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers changed the materials and improved the parameters, the toughness
and plasticity of the steel still did not meet the working conditions, and Jone
and his team were at a loss what to do.
His friend Tom recommended him to contact AAK
hydraulic valve for a try. Jone sent us an email with a try attitude. According
to his hydraulic relief valve drawings and the working conditions with large
impact force and high load, our engineers were not 100% sure, but were 90%
sure, giving 2-3 weeks.
Two weeks later, AAK successfully sent 6 hydraulic
relief valve samples. On the 3rd day after Jone received the hydraulic relief
valve samples, we received an email that the samples of hydraulic relief valve passed
the performance test. AAK spent 2 weeks to try over 10 kinds of steels, and
finally determined to replace 40Cr with 35CrMo steel. The high toughness and
plasticity parameters of 35CrMo well match the working conditions of this
hydraulic relief valve. At the same time, 35CrMo has high static strength, impact
toughness and high fatigue limit, and the long-term working temperature can
reach 500 ℃. Jone was surprised that the
samples of more than 10 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers in China were not successful.
Even if the local manufacturers in the United States spent 4 weeks but still
failed, how can AAK succeed in 2 weeks one time?
The reason why AAK hydraulic relief valves can do
what the domestic factories in the United States failed to do, because:
1.
AAK has full-time
material engineer who is specially responsible for material screening,
comparison, testing and docking with the materials research institute.
2.
Good materials also
need good processing. The heat treatment method adopted by AAK for 35CrMo alloy
steel is 845 ℃ annealing, 860 ℃ quenching (oil quenching) and 200 ℃ low
temperature tempering. After this special heat treatment, its hardness and wear
resistance are increased by at least 50%.
3.
AAK
technical team has engineers from the global top 10 hydraulic valve industry.
They have their own experience in material selection, production drawing design
and production line quality control.
AAK hydraulic relief valves,
high load and high impact resistance, you can also have a small try!
I've been working on hydraulic valves for 13 years, but I never say I've focused on hydraulic valves for 13 years.
13 years of hydraulic valve career, has been adhering to. I think no matter what you do, 10 years is a cycle, because only 10 years of persistence can make some small achievements, but they are only small achievements, which can't catch up with success. There must be compound interest in long-termism, but it does not mean that we should do it mechanically in the 10 years and then wait for the arrival of the cycle moment of the 10 years. It's impossible for me to stick to the industry for 10 years if without orders coming one by one in the daily working time, absolutely not possible. Therefore, long-termism is to produce hydraulic valve orders, while making hydraulic valve innovation at the same time. After 10 years of deliberate learning, pondering and imitating the major brands of international first-line hydraulic valves, we can make some small achievements at the time of the arrival of 10 years.
AAK hydraulic valve is not a big brand. I never imitate the words of "lyrical romance" of big brands. Instead, I insist on what benefits AAK hydraulic valve can bring to users, what problems have been solved and what pain points have been solved, that is, the difference of AAK hydraulic valve function and performance from its peers.
It has been 13 years since I started my business. 70% of the hydraulic valve customers come from the network and 30% of the customers come from the introduction of these 70% customers. My idea is like this:
1. Never burn money to advertise hydraulic valves. Almost all of them are free promotion at the cost of a lot of time and energy. There seems to be no holiday in a year. I have to work for about 12 hours every day. Because I'm stupid, I can only do a little every day, but I never stop.
2. Focus on the cartridge hydraulic valves, a single large category, which has been used in the hydraulic system in the fields of engineering machinery, agricultural machinery, field exploration and aviation flight. It is positioned for high-end customers who pay attention to quality and never produce the market common quality.
3. For the raw materials and semi-finished products, process and technology, production equipment and production line control of hydraulic valves, I dare not say I am proficient in these 4 parts, but at least at the level of assistant engineer. This is the basic skill and hard work of doing content.
4. Like to output the content of hydraulic valves, write the content that customers want to see and will see, so as to attract real hydraulic valve customers and help customers solve problems, even if they give customers a "so it is".
5. Mindfulness to be a man and to do things. I never believe in the concept of "treat the company as your family", which either cheat employees or cheat yourself. In my understanding, mindfulness is not to cheat, or make small movements under the table.
It is not difficult to improve the quality of hydraulic valves, and it is difficult for me to understand why some hydraulic valve manufacturers like producing market goods. As long as the cost of raw materials and semi-finished products is increased by 5 ~ 10%, the quality of hydraulic valves can be greatly improved. I don't know, why can't these bosses change? AAK hydraulic valve adheres to the top 1% of the subdivided market. At the same time, it aims at the global first-line hydraulic valve brands in terms of quality, first benchmarking them, and then surpassing them. With 13 years of long-termism and being the ODM factory of the global top 10 hydraulic valve brands for many years, AAK has been able to surpass the international first-line brands in terms of export quality and price.
AAK hydraulic valve, never cheating or doing small movements under the table
Some peers left a message after seeing the article "making mistakes is either bleeding or death. AAK hydraulic relief valve can't call mistakes as low level mistakes" on AAK hydraulic valve website: does AAK hydraulic valve never make mistakes? This is a good question. To err is human. Not to mention a multi person organization. AAK hydraulic valve can make ignorant mistakes, but it can't make arrogant mistakes.
What is the ignorant mistake? I haven't done this before. I don't know how to do it. I found that I made a mistake. If this error occurs in AAK hydraulic valve, we are willing to pay or encourage it. Why encourage mistakes?
1. Because you know you are ignorant, you won't invest too much in it. The cost of making ignorant mistakes is controllable.
2. You are ignorant this time, you will know next time. You will summarize and review. This is the process of learning. AAK hydraulic valve encourages employees to make ignorant mistakes and they grow up quickly.
AAK hydraulic valve can not make arrogant mistakes. What is arrogant mistake?
For example, engineer A said that I know too well about this hydraulic valve. I've been clutching my hand for a long time. It's all experience. Once it's this attitude, it's over. Because of A's arrogance, it's easy to take it for granted to do this hydraulic valve.
In the production process of AAK hydraulic valves, it has always been emphasized that the most grass-roots managers have the final say. I don't want the production director to have too much power, the production boss to have too much power, and the chief engineer to have too much power. Grassroots managers, who are immersed in the specific operating procedures of hydraulic valves, know how to do better than you. AAK senior managers of hydraulic valves discuss with them to provide some experience in the hydraulic valve industry and give them some suggestions.
For example, although I don't operate the hydraulic valves or specific things in the company, I like to make suggestions and ponder. If the suggestion I mentioned, the idea, can inspire them, then use it. If you don't think so, let it go.
In AAK hydraulic valve, if things are not done well, first admit your ignorance and don't be arrogant. What really causes us trouble is not what we don't know, but what we think we know. Only by maintaining a spirit of exploration can it become a biological tissue and grow freely. Only in this way, AAK hydraulic valve can have a future.
AAK hydraulic valve, zero tolerance for arrogant errors.
Rodriguez is a senior purchaser of a hydraulic
equipment company in Mexico. The boss is very satisfied with his work. In the
second half of last year, they needed to launch a new hydraulic equipment, which
needed to use hydraulic relief valves. The boss asked that the procurement cost
of the hydraulic relief valves should be reduced by 15% on the premise of
ensuring the quality. He contacted the original American hydraulic relief valve
manufacturer, and the manufacturer replied that it was impossible. In
desperation, he had to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic relief valves.
Rodriguez has participated in the
Shanghai PTC exhibition and collected some hydraulic relief valve manufacturers,
which have great advantages in terms of price. The quotation of some hydraulic
relief valve manufacturers is only half of that of American manufacturers, and
the quotation of some hydraulic relief valve manufacturers is 60% cheaper than
that of American manufacturers. He is a little surprised that there is such a
big difference in the quotation of different manufacturers for the same
hydraulic relief valve. They began to test the parameters of the hydraulic
relief valves from 3 manufacturers, but did not require AAK to send samples,
because the price of AAK was 20% - 30% higher than that of other manufacturers.
A month later, the hydraulic relief
valve samples from the 3 factories were tested and they all failed to meet the
indicators of American manufacturers. The pressure of some hydraulic relief
valves could not rise within a few days after the equipment was installed.
Rodriguez initially screened the manufacturers of hydraulic relief valves and
used the 3 factories with low prices. Maybe it proves that Cheapest is the
dearest. He changed his strategy and used the hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers with relatively high quotation to test the samples. AAK offers
the highest price, but it is still about 30% cheaper than American manufacturer.
At the same time, AAK promised that the quality could fully match that of
American manufacturer.
According to the hydraulic relief
valve drawings and working condition information provided by Rodriguez, AAK
sent the samples of the hydraulic relief valves after 25 days. A month later,
Rodriguez sent an email that AAK hydraulic relief valves passed the test, and
the parameters were benchmarked with those of the original American
manufacturer, and even some details and appearance were visually more exquisite
than those of the American manufacturer.
He would like to know how AAK makes
hydraulic relief valves that surpass American manufacturers?
1、AAK has a high-precision CNC machining center imported from Switzerland
and various independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by itself, which
eliminates human errors and avoids faults such as stuck valve spool of
hydraulic relief valves.
2、AAK adopts the ultrasonic cleaning machine imported from
Japan to scrub the solid surface through the vibration of gas bubbles, so as to
clean each hydraulic relief valve part for 100% without leaving any residue.
3、AAK test equipment has 5 pressure test benches that of
each can be operated independently, and each test area is equipped with
professional inspectors, so as to ensure that each hydraulic relief valve is
qualified before shipment.
AAK hydraulic relief valves, the details can surpass
those of American manufacturers. You are welcome to have a small try!
Elijah is from a Canadian hydraulic
equipment manufacturing company. At the beginning of this year, he encountered trouble.
A batch of excavators sold by his company to Southeast Asia needed to replace
the hydraulic directional valves. The main reason is that the hydraulic
directional valves have been used for a long time, and it is time to replace them.
The trouble is that these non-standard hydraulic directional valves from HydraForce
in the United States were out of stock at the end of last year, and Elijah did
not fill the inventory in time. Elijah urgently contacted the original
hydraulic directional valve supplier, because these hydraulic directional
valves are non-standard and were produced 2 years ago, the original supplier
has no inventory now. If they are customized again, 1,000 MOQ will be required,
and the production time will be 2months. Elijah fed back the information to the
boss, who was angry because 60% of their company's orders came from this
customer every year, and Elijah had a big headache.
In order to solve the problem of
time, Elijah tried to contact the hydraulic directional valve manufacturers
close to Southeast Asia. The hydraulic directional valve manufacturers in China
are his first choice. Elijah found AAK hydraulic valve on Google. After
receiving the email, we compared the hydraulic directional valve drawings
provided by Elijah. This hydraulic directional valve is not a conventional
product, but he only gave a delivery time of 30 days, and the quality of
hydraulic directional valve must be compared with that of HydraForce. We are
worried about not the quality requirements, but the production time. Due to the
particularity of this hydraulic directional valve, the process design and
programming need a lot of time to complete the matching. In addition, the heat
treatment and surface treatment of parts, assembly inspection and commissioning
and other processes all need time. Elijah had to bite the bullet and accept our
request for 40 days of delivery time.
Fortunately, the design and production
of this hydraulic directional valve were very smooth. 30 days later, AAK sent
50 hydraulic directional valves to Elijah's Southeast Asian factory. A few days
ago, Elijah sent an email to thank AAK. Fortunately, AAK hydraulic directional
valves helped him solve his urgent need. Elijah asked us how we did it. He
successively contacted more than 20 hydraulic directional valve manufacturers.
They all fed back that either the delivery time was too short or the quality
could not be benchmarked with HydraForce. AAK is the only Chinese hydraulic directional
valve manufacturer, who promised that the quality would be benchmarked with HydraForce,
and the delivery date is also within 30 days.
I told him that for this
non-standard hydraulic directional valve, AAK has 3 points that are difficult for
the other manufacturers to match with:
1.
AAK
is a supplier of HydraForce for 9 consecutive years, and the quality benchmarked
Hydraforce is the least worth mentioning guarantee.
2.
We have a
high-efficiency MIKRON machining center and AMEC sinking drilling and milling
cutter with central internal cooling, which allows faster cutting. In this way,
human errors are eliminated in accuracy and efficient production is ensured.
3.
AAK has been ODM
manufacturer for 3 Fortune 500 companies for 10 years, with strict quality
control process and self-implementation stricter than ISO certification system,
and never relax the requirements to ourselves, stick to the details and
constantly optimize the technology.
AAK hydraulic directional valve is the first choice
for customers in North America. You are welcome to give it a try!
There is a spread in the hydraulic valve industry: those
who can do a good job in hydraulic valves may not be able to do a good job in hydraulic
manifolds; those who do a good job in hydraulic manifolds, and basically can do
a good job in hydraulic valves. Baptiste is from DMH France. The hydraulic manifolds
purchased in Italy before was transferred to the hydraulic valve manufacturer who
has cooperated for 4 years. However, he suffered from the 4 times a year after-sales
of hydraulic manifolds. In the second half of last year, Baptiste purchased 30
hydraulic relief valves from AAK, which is the 4th time of purchasing in the
year, and the quantity is the same every time. It is a little strange. After
communication, I learned that a hydraulic equipment developed by them at the
beginning of last year has stains on the hydraulic oil every few months,
resulting in the jamming of the hydraulic relief valves. The replacement of 4
times a year keeps the customer complaining.
According
to Baptiste's description, the probability is that the hydraulic manifold
design is improper. I suggested that he send us the hydraulic manifold drawing
and system schematic diagram. Baptiste said that the hydraulic manifold drawing
and system schematic diagram are confidential documents and he must get
approval from boss before sending them to AAK. Three days later, Baptiste sent us
the hydraulic manifold drawing and system schematic diagram, requiring that they
should not be revealed to any other people. According to the analysis of the
drawings, AAK engineers found that when the hydraulic power is input and the
system does not start working, the hydraulic relief valve does not reach the
opening pressure and cannot relieve the pressure, resulting in the increase of
oil temperature and easy oil pollution. It is certain that the problem lies in
the design of hydraulic manifold.
I
suggest redesigning the hydraulic manifold. The idea is as follows: AAK will
change the 2 hydraulic relief valves on the hydraulic manifold block to use the
hydraulic directional control valve alone, and change the oil circuit design.
The principle is as follows: when the hydraulic system works, the hydraulic
directional control valve cuts off the oil circuit, making the high-pressure
oil enter the working branch. When the hydraulic system stops working, the
high-pressure oil directly returns to the oil tank after passing through the
directional control valve to realize zero pressure unloading. If the hydraulic manifold
designed by AAK is not improved, no fee will be charged. Baptiste was a little
interested after learning that. 45 days later, AAK sent a new hydraulic manifold.
4 weeks later, Baptiste informed by email that the hydraulic manifold of AAK
had been used for 1 month, the hydraulic oil had no pollution, the whole
hydraulic system was more sensitive, and the problem that had plagued them for 1
year was solved at one time.
AAK hydraulic manifolds had been tested for
first-line brands since 7 years ago. If meeting the following 3 points at the
same time, there may be no second hydraulic manifold manufacturer in Ningbo
except for AAK:
1. AAK technical team has engineers
from the world's top 500 hydraulic manifold enterprises. They have their own
experience in material selection, production drawing design, oil circuit design
and production quality control.
2. Before hydraulic manifold assembly, the valve block
shall be deeply cleaned to ensure 100% impurity free. Each valve shall be
tested.
3. Only technicians with more than 10 years of
experience are qualified to assemble the hydraulic manifolds. After assembly,
use the test bench to debug the hydraulic manifolds for many times to ensure
that the act function of the circuit is accurate and reliable.
Baptiste privately informed that
the boss was very satisfied that he found a reliable hydraulic manifold
manufacturer, solved the after-sales troubles of the whole year, and could be
promoted to the manager of the procurement department next month. Baptiste was
so happy.
AAK hydraulic manifold block is professionally
designed to save you worry and effort. You can also have a small try!
Last week, Grayson issued a reorder
for 120 hydraulic pressure reducing valves. Grayson is our Canadian customer.
He has been engaged in hydraulic parts procurement for many years, and his
colleagues trust him. In the second half of last year, their company developed
a hydraulic power unit, and the accuracy of the hydraulic pressure reducing
valve used is very high. Their original manufacturer of the hydraulic pressure
reducing valves reviewed but advised immediately that he was not able to meet
the requirements. Grayson later found a new manufacturer of hydraulic pressure
reducing valves, and the sample approval process was very smooth. Unexpectedly,
customers complained about the instability of the hydraulic system less than 3
months after the equipment was sold. After inspection, it was found that the
hydraulic pressure reducing valve was stuck. The manufacturer of the hydraulic
pressure reducing valves said that the hydraulic oil deteriorated, and the
viscous substances produced increased the resistance of the relative movement
between the valve body and the valve spool, causing the hydraulic pressure
reducing valve to be stuck, but their Engineer detected that the hydraulic oil
was normal. The hydraulic pressure reducing valve manufacturers did not
cooperate, and Grayson had to find other new manufacturers to replace those bad
hydraulic pressure reducing valves. Grayson contacted a number of hydraulic
valve manufacturers, but there was no reply. He was in a bad mood.
Grayson accidentally found AAK
hydraulic valve in Google. He left a message on AAK website and asked, what are
the reasons for the stuck of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves? I'm sure
he's in trouble. After communication, I learned that he was cheated by the new
manufacturer of hydraulic pressure reducing valves. The valve hole of hydraulic
pressure reducing valves is not only the key quality point in processing and
manufacturing, but also the processing difficulty. It can fundamentally affect
the working performance, service life and stability of hydraulic pressure
reducing valves. The hydraulic pressure reducing valve is stuck because of the
coaxiality error of the valve hole during processing, resulting in the pressure
imbalance in the matching gap between the valve hole and the valve spool, and
caused the stuck problem. The valve hole accuracy of Grayson's hydraulic
pressure reducing valve is required to be IT7 ~ 4. Most hydraulic pressure
reducing valve manufacturers can't do it, but AAK is willing to challenge the
high-precision hydraulic pressure reducing valves. Grayson saw the hope and asked
AAK to send 10 hydraulic pressure reducing valve samples as soon as possible.
After 30 days, 10 hydraulic pressure reducing valve samples were sent smoothly.
After the samples were sent out,
there was no comments from Grayson about AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves.
Nearly half a year later, Grayson sent the reorder of 120 hydraulic pressure
reducing valves, which proved that the previous 10 samples of AAK were up to
standard.
AAK has a MICROSTAR FSH
high-precision machine tool imported from Germany. The machining of the
hydraulic pressure reducing valve hole can be completed (expansion - boring - boring
- reaming - honing) with only one clamping. The final honing process adopts
ultrasonic vibration honing. Compared with ordinary honing technology, it has
the advantages of small cutting force, low cutting temperature, high cutting
precision, long tool life and easy treatment of chips. The dimensional accuracy
of the valve hole is IT7 ~ 4.
AAK hydraulic pressure reducing
valves have high precision and durability. You can also have a small try!
Marten
is an old customer from a Dutch hydraulic company. He is very cautious in the
business of hydraulic valves and never changes hydraulic valve suppliers
easily. AAK hydraulic valve reached the first cooperation of hydraulic relief
valves under the introduction of his friend. It has been 3 years,
and he orders 2 types of hydraulic relief valves with AAK every year. We have a
very good personal relationship, and often communicate about some hydraulic
valve technology.
Last
month, Marten had an order for a special hydraulic relief valve that requires a
surface roughness Ra of 0.1~0.2μm, which is more than 4 times accurate than the
normal standard. All the hydraulic relief valves of this series are
purchased from the hydraulic valve manufacturer that he has cooperated with for
5 years. This manufacturer has tried this hydraulic relief valve for 3
consecutive times, but the Ra value is still not up to
standard. Marten thinks of AAK hydraulic valve. In the email, he has
been emphasized that the surface roughness Ra value of hydraulic relief valve
must reach 0.1~0.2μm. According to the hydraulic relief valve
drawings sent by Marten, after discussion, AAK engineers expressed 90%
certainty that the Ra value could reach 0.1~0.2μm. Marten seems to
see hope, but also fear. He asked AAK TO try samples immediately. At
the same time, the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer was also requested
to continue the sampling.
AAK
arranged the most experienced technicians to operate the knife, first of all in
the rough turning stage, cutting depth adjustment to 0.8~1.5mm, feed to
0.2~0.3mm/r, cutting speed to 30~50m/min and so on, after the rough turning Ra
value is 12.5~6.3μm, while leaving 0.5~1mm as fine turning
margin; Secondly, in the finishing stage, the cutting depth is
adjusted to 0.1-0.3mm and the small feed is 0.05-0.2mm /r. At the same time,
the cutting speed is ensured to reach the moderate value and the roughness Ra
value is ensured to reach 0.2-0.16μm. AAK sent the hydraulic relief
valve samples 10 days later.
On
the 3rd day after receiving the samples of AAK hydraulic relief valve, Marten
informed us by email that the Ra value of the surface roughness was up to
standard. At the same time, he also informed that the original hydraulic relief
valve manufacturer also continued the sampling, but failed in 5 samples for 5
times, while AAK succeeded in one time. He asked us to catch time to
prepare material, he would discuss the PO of hydraulic relief valve with AAK
after he confirmed the order quantity and the delivery date with his customer.
For
high precision hydraulic relief valve roughness Ra value, in addition to use
high precision lathes, good technicians are the key, to be good at adjusting
lathe parameters according to different processing, for this hydraulic relief
valve, AAK technician advantages are reflected in:
1.
High speed and small cutting depth and feed are selected to reduce the residual
area and Ra value. When finishing, select
high-speed and small cutting depth and feed rate to reduce the residual area
and reduce the Ra value.
2.
Grinding the front and rear tool surfaces of the turning tool with engine oil,
can effectively reduce the Ra value of the workpiece surface.
3.
The 32 year old mechanic operating the machine tool, who can know whether the
Ra value of the hydraulic relief valve is normal or not by just listening to
the processing sound.
The
Ra value of AAK hydraulic relief valve is 4 times that of the conventional
standard and 2 times that of its peers. You can also have a small try.
An American IP left a message on our website: I saw your article "I regard quality as the highest principle of hydraulic valve manufacturing, why?". I want to know how AAK defines the quality of hydraulic valves. I specially checked the IP, which is an engineer from an engineering company listed in the United States.
I thought for half an hour. To define a category, it must be comprehensive. What are the total quality of hydraulic valves? How much do we understand the quality of hydraulic valves? First, don't check the encyclopedia, Google, or hydraulic valve academic, but focus on hydraulic valve common sense. In common sense, how do you understand the quality of hydraulic valves, because our users also understand the quality with common sense.
Friends who have read science and engineering know that there is a very famous management in Japan called total quality management. Of course, PDCA was invented by American Deming. What is carried forward is in Japan. The well-known Japanese enterprises implement total quality management. Almost all those engaged in manufacturing industry know total quality management, but few mention total quality. Some people say that total quality management has talked about total quality? Wrong, total quality management does not talk about total quality, only about management.
For the total quality of AAK hydraulic valves, I have defined 4 kinds of quality. The 1st is the manufacturing quality of hydraulic valves, the 2nd is the service quality of AAK, the 3rd is the functional quality of hydraulic valves, and the 4th is the performance quality of hydraulic valves.
The manufacturing quality of AAK hydraulic valves is now benchmarked with the international first-line brand, and the future is to surpass the international first-line brand. Especially in a subdivision field, such as high-pressure hydraulic valves, we should achieve top 1%.
1. AAK has been hydraulic valve ODM manufacturer for 3 of the world's top 500 for 10 years. The quality control process is strict and self-implementation is more strict than ISO certification system.
2. AAK has high-precision machine tools imported from Switzerland, Mikron GF high-precision CNC machining center and GILDEMEISTER turn milling compound machining center.
3. AAK has a full-time material engineer to check the selection of materials, which is responsible for screening, comparison, testing new materials connected with the Research Institute. AAK technical team has engineers from the world's top 500 hydraulic valve enterprises. They have their own experience in production drawing design, programming and production line quality control.
Service quality of AAK:
1. AAK provides 24-hour responses, 48-hour solution plans and 72-hour problem solved before, during and after sales. Our peers dare to think but dare not to do it.
2. Six international first-line brand enterprises imported from AAK, because of feel at ease, all the hydraulic valves with low MOQ, high precision and urgent delivery, were purchased from AAK, due to AAK’s mindfulness.
3. 3-year warranty. Most of our peers dare not think about it, let alone do it.
AAK hydraulic valve function quality and AAK hydraulic valve performance quality.
First, let's find out what the function is and what the performance is? For example, 8 years ago, our mobile phones could not take pictures, but now smart phones can take pictures. Taking pictures on mobile phones is a function; The quality of pictures is a kind of performance. AAK hydraulic valve is differentiated and different by function and performance, especially in the field of high-pressure and high-precision subdivision, absolutely different.
AAK hydraulic valve function quality:
1. The complete function of hydraulic valves is the least worth mentioning guarantee of AAK.
2. Each batch of materials shall be subject to heat treatment and never cut corners. Each hydraulic valve shall pass through the hydraulic table, with test reports and video records. Each hydraulic valve shall be tested 3 times and the test results shall be archived.
3. 3 design patents, 4 proprietary production and processing technology, and the technicians in the core posts have been experienced for more than 8 years. Their proficiency is like a ruler. The old mechanic who has been in the factory for more than 10 years can sometimes judge the production status by just listening to the sound of the machine, and each production link of the hydraulic valves is engraved in his mind.
Performance quality of AAK hydraulic valve:
1. The hydraulic valve with 3-year warranty has no vibration, no noise and high pressure resistance.
2. The machining surface accuracy of hydraulic valves is improved to within 0.3μm, the internal leakage can be less than 2drops / min.
3. Hydraulic valves with pressure resistance above 450bar and service life exceeding 2 million times, AAK hydraulic valve, Any valve, Any one, Any time, Any Where, just safety.
Maybe I read too few books. I can tell you that almost no master, marketing master or management master has said the subject of total quality. At least, the concept of "total quality" has not been put forward in the hydraulic valve industry. I said a little more narrowly. For the definition of hydraulic valve quality, AAK is the first person to define the hydraulic valve quality with 4 aspects of total quality.
AAK hydraulic valves, Any valve, Any One, Any time, Any Where, just Safety!
Someone asked me, you are not a mechanical professional. How can you guide AAK engineers to solve some difficult and complicated problems of hydraulic valves? Now the hydraulic valve industry has entered the stage of vertical specialization. Unprofessional may be a problem.
Although specialization is the standard way to professional knowledge, it may not be a good thing from the perspective of creativity. Because sometimes professional knowledge is a double-edged sword. If you are too professional in hydraulic valves and have too much professional knowledge of hydraulic valves, you may not notice those distant associations. I have always insisted that the solution to the problem is to cast a big net first.
Sitting next to the computer at 4:30 in the morning, I have 3 hours of association and quiet time. This is the darkness that does not belong to anyone. People usually wake up at 7:30, I have enough calm and patience to associate with the hydraulic valves and daydream at will.
To do something creative, many people say that we should jump out of the box and think, but I think we should do the opposite and learn to think in the box. I often advise my engineers not to create the function of hydraulic valves by imagination, but to innovate on a certain basis of hydraulic valves. Ten years ago, we bought some representative hydraulic valve standard parts and some novel non-standard hydraulic valves from the top 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers in the world from the United States and Europe, comprehensively dissected these big brand hydraulic valves, refined the selling points of technical parameters, and then innovated on these basis. Only then did we have 3 domestic patents and processes and 4 proprietary technologies of AAK hydraulic valves, and AAK hydraulic valves were exported to more than 20 countries, 6 international first-line brand customers have placed orders for 5 consecutive years, and re-buy rate of AAK hydraulic valves from old customers is no less than 62% every year.
What you think is right and what you can accept is basically wrong. What you think is wrong and what you can't accept are basically right. I read about 30 pages of books that are not related to the hydraulic valves every day. In the process of reading, I set aside a little time for daydreaming. For example, an idea in the book aroused my curiosity. I need to pause to connect my brain with this curiosity. Sometimes my brain will unconsciously link to the hydraulic valves.
Every coin has two sides, depending on the angle we look at. For a half a glass of water, what some people see is: Alas, there's only half a glass of water left; What some people see is: Wow, still have half a glass of water. Pessimists are often right. I admire the pessimists' comments on the real world. Really, they are right, but most of them are losers. Simple minded optimists may not succeed, but they often live a good life.
When I encountered the problem of hydraulic valves and couldn't find the answer after thinking hard, I found that sitting at my desk was almost a waste of time. Write out the hydraulic valve problem and knock it in the computer document, preferably on paper. Many people don't write it out, but trap the problem in their brain, which may not awaken their subconscious mind. Then, I will stay away from this hydraulic valve problem. Sometimes, when taking a bath or walking, the rudiment of the answer may come to mind. It's so wonderful. Turn off the music, stay away from the mobile phone, stay away from distractions, and let the brain unconsciously look for associations between different ideas. There may be surprises.
Insist on getting up early, reading and exercising, because if you can't persevere, you won't get anything. Those who have not been engaged in the production of hydraulic valves for more than 10 years can hardly have a comprehensive understanding of hydraulic valves. Both enterprises and individuals should stick to their commitments to others, especially to themselves.
I have no confidence in anything readily available, improvised and fast, but I believe in the power of stability, peace and long-term flow. Still water runs long. Any hydraulic valve manufacturer should be practical. I never believe that hydraulic valve manufacturers who lack self-discipline and self-growth will have a beautiful future. For example, in life, talented people are easy to bring traffic, but can't bring trust. The builder of self-discipline may not surprise people in a short time, but will gain long-term respect. This may be the cornerstone of trust.
AAK hydraulic valves, no trickery, only daily self-discipline construction.
We
have an old hydraulic valve customer in South America. He has only two
hydraulic valve suppliers in Ningbo, one is AAK hydraulic valve and another one
is some hydraulic valve manufacturer. According to his description, AAK
accounts for 70% of his purchase of hydraulic valves in Ningbo. In
fact, I am very satisfied with this share and will not strive for 80% or 100%.
Let him always use AAK hydraulic valves to compare with other hydraulic
valve manufacturers, and feel the advantages of AAK
hydraulic valves at all times.
Recently,
He had a brainwave and wanted to purchase all hydraulic valves in one factory.
In his email, he asked AAK to give some feedback on the quality positioning,
industry reputation and price performance of another hydraulic valve
manufacturer. To be honest, this request is very difficult for us, because as a
mature hydraulic valve manufacturer, I am unwilling to answer such questions.
Before
answering this question, what is the sign of personal maturity? There is a good
word called "suspended judgment". To put it bluntly, we are not in a hurry
to stand in line. Let's see, hang up the judgment we should have first and
don't let the boots fall to the ground. When a man is mature and faces any
situation, he takes many factors into account. There is no simple right and
wrong in his world.
In
today's digital age, we always try to turn people's vague attitude into a clear
number. You have to give “likes” and “dislikes”, either fans or passers-by. In
this context, most people's personality maturity slows down and is digitally
trained to be eager to make a statement. Under the digitization, for those who
are not easy to express their position, such people are out of the control of
digitization. Such people are not only mature, but also have more advantages.
AAK
hydraulic valve only sticks to its own research and development, technical
transformation, quality control and service, and never pays attention to the
trend of local hydraulic valve peers. I don't know his quality, reputation and
price. In fact, I don't want to know. Because I never pay attention to the
hydraulic valve counterparts, and only focus on the international first-line
hydraulic valve brands. AAK hydraulic valve, never commenting on its peers,
only targets the international first-line hydraulic valve brands, and gradually
surpasses those international brands. In particular, AAK quality is rooted in
the top 1% of the subdivided field of hydraulic valves.
AAK
hydraulic valve, only go the right way, never afraid to go long way.
Early March this
year, Austin from Canada left a message on AAK website: AAK hydraulic valves
have been used in aviation field, can you produce hydraulic relief valves with
the valve body produced by nickel titanium alloy? For similar messages, I
basically reply that if there is a need, I will directly sampling the hydraulic
relief valves. Whether it can meet the standard is not determined by mouth, but
by data. After communication, it was learned that their company has a power
unit used in the aviation hydraulic system, and the customer requires that the
test run be completed within 3 months. Austin contacted an old supplier of
hydraulic relief valves with the best quality, and the supplier promised to
deliver 20 samples of high-precision hydraulic relief valves within 40 days. After
20 days, the manufacturer of the hydraulic relief valves can't bear it. In
particular, the valve body of the hydraulic relief valves is made of nickel
titanium alloy. During processing, the cutting tools were changed for 5 times,
and 80% of the products were still scrapped.
Austin had to find a new
manufacturer of hydraulic relief valves.
He contacted some new manufacturers in a few days, they either have no
confidence in the hydraulic relief valves used in the aviation field, or no reply
at all. Austin saw in Google that AAK hydraulic valve supplied to military
enterprises and aerospace equipment, and realized that maybe AAK can help solve
the dilemma of hydraulic relief valves. According to the hydraulic relief valve
drawings and working condition requirements emailed by Justin, AAK engineers
found that this hydraulic relief valve is just similar to the one supplied to
Russian customer last year. The difference is the valve hole size. It only
needs to make small modifications to the process procedure, and 20 hydraulic relief
valve samples are sent out after 15 days.
Two months later, Austin informed
by email that the commissioning of the equipment was very smooth with the use
of AAK hydraulic relief valves. AAK was the only one of more than 10 hydraulic
relief valve manufacturers he contacted, who dared to make samples directly and
completed the non-standard hydraulic relief valves in 2 weeks. Their engineers
were surprised to have such a magical hydraulic relief valve manufacturer.
The non-standard
hydraulic valves were completed in 2 weeks, which most hydraulic valve manufacturers
can't do unless there are similar procedures. AAK has a number of non-standard
hydraulic valve procedures. The key reason why AAK hydraulic relief valves can
be supplied to military enterprises and aerospace fields is the following 3
points. There may not be a second hydraulic relief valve manufacturer in Ningbo
that can meet the 3 points at the same time.
1. AAK technical team has engineers from the world's top 500 hydraulic
valve enterprises. They have their own experience in material selection,
production drawing design, oil circuit design and production quality control.
2. AAK has a high-precision CNC machining center imported
from Switzerland and Kennametal combined tool imported from the United States.
This tool has the best cutting ability for NiTi alloy with very high toughness
and strength, and has high advantages in life, performance, efficiency and
stability.
3. AAK test equipment has 5 pressure test benches
that can operate independently of each other, and each test area is equipped
with professional inspectors, so as to ensure that each hydraulic relief valve
is qualified before shipment.
AAK high precision hydraulic
relief valves can be used in aviation hydraulic system. You can also have a
small try!
Last week Grossman placed an order for 1,500 hydraulic
cartridge valves at one time. I'm not surprised at all. At the Shanghai PTC
exhibition the year before last, I met Grossman from a Russian company and
talked for more than 30 minutes at the exhibition. After the exhibition,
Grossman informed by email that a newly developed hydraulic equipment of their
company needs hydraulic cartridge valves, and 20 hydraulic cartridge valves
from AAK were tested. This is a non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge
valve. After we delivered the goods, Grossman didn't send any email to feed
back the situation of AAK goods for half a year. A year later, Grossman placed
the reorder of 200 hydraulic cartridge valves of the same model, and there was also
no news after delivery. In 2 years, there were only two small orders of
hydraulic cartridge valves, but I have a feeling that Grossman is further deeply
testing AAK hydraulic cartridge valves.
It was not until last week when there was a large
order for hydraulic cartridge valves placed, Grossman then started to describe
the ups and downs of purchasing hydraulic cartridge valves in Ningbo. In the
past 2 years, Grossman found more than 20 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers
for sample testing and was cheated by some new hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers. The quality of the test order was OK, but the reorder was
complained by customer. For hydraulic cartridge valves purchased from some other
factories, there were always complaints after a period of time, such as several
leaks or jamming, insensitive opening and closing or serious wear etc.
The 2 batches of hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK
have not received any complaint in 2 years, which is why he decided to order
large quantities of hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK. After 2 years of
comparison among more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers, Grossman found
that only AAK hydraulic cartridge valves are 100% qualified. His boss also
agreed that the future hydraulic cartridge valves will only be purchased from
AAK.
No customer complaints with AAK hydraulic cartridge
valves, that is because AAK has 3 advantages. There may be no second
manufacturer in Ningbo who can have the following 3 points at the same time.
1. AAK hydraulic valve has high-precision CNC machining centers, machine
tools and other equipment imported from Switzerland, as well as various
independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by himself, which eliminates human
errors. At the same time, the management of every detail of the processing,
production, assembly, inspection and packaging of each hydraulic cartridge
valve has been accurately controlled.
2. AAK uses pneumatic measuring instrument to test
the accuracy of each processed valve sleeve, while most manufacturers use sampling
test. During the assembly of accessories, the accuracy of the fit clearance
between each valve spool and valve sleeve is tested again with a pneumatic
measuring instrument.
3. After assembly, carefully check whether the
accessories are complete, and test each hydraulic cartridge valve, including
leakage, flexibility, opening and closing performance etc.
AAK hydraulic cartridge
valves have conquered Russian customer with 3 facts leading domestic peers. You
can also try one order.
At the beginning of March this
year, Bartolomeo said in an email that he would like to make an appointment to consult
AAK about hydraulic manifold problems. Bartolomeo, from Italy, is the
purchasing manager of Italpresse Industrie Shanghai Branch. According to the
communication, their company developed a hydraulic die-casting machine at the
end of last year. The sales volume is just so. The general feedback is that the
equipment has high energy consumption and low production efficiency. Their engineers
pondered for more than 2 months, but couldn't find the reason, and the boss
also had a big headache. Bartolomeo felt that the hydraulic manifold design
dragged down the equipment and consulted the original hydraulic manifold
manufacturer. However, the manufacturer could not put forward constructive opinions
on the hydraulic manifold design.
Bartolomeo
thought of AAK, because AAK had proposed to modify the oil circuit when receiving
the inquiry about the hydraulic manifold. According to the design drawings and
system schematic diagram of hydraulic manifold provided by Bartolomeo, AAK
engineers closed the door and discussed for 3 days, basically found out the
direction, and it is 90% determined that there was a deviation in the oil
circuit design of the original hydraulic manifold on the hydraulic die casting
machine. There is an energy conflict between the original hydraulic manifold
oil circuit aperture and the hydraulic valve used, resulting in the slow
response of the hydraulic system and the need for additional energy to maintain
the operation of the system, resulting in high energy consumption and low
production efficiency. AAK can redesign the hydraulic manifold oil circuit and
send hydraulic manifold samples within 30 days. Bartolomeo was very happy that
AAK found the cause of hydraulic manifold problem at once. The situation was
fed back to the boss, who immediately paid for AAK to redesign and test
samples.
A
month later, AAK sent out the whole newly designed hydraulic manifold. Two
weeks later, Bartolomeo emailed to order 20 hydraulic manifolds first to
replace those ones on the equipment complained by customers. I was surprised
that there was no comment on AAK hydraulic manifold samples but received the
urgent order first. Bartolomeo advised that according to the comparison of
their engineer’s on-site test run, the die casting machine with AAK hydraulic manifold
has a sensitive response, the working efficiency is 11% higher than before, what’s
more, the energy consumption is reduced by 30%. Their boss asked to order some hydraulic
manifolds for emergency use first, and then replace all hydraulic manifolds on
the original equipment with AAK shipments.
AAK has professional engineers with more than 20 years of industry
experience from German HAWE company, they have unique experience in hydraulic manifold
design, especially in oil circuit design. Combined with the system principle,
through the change of the installation form and working area of the hydraulic
valves and the innovative and optimized design of the oil circuit of the valve
block, and the development and application of new materials, we can produce
high-efficiency, energy-saving and durable hydraulic manifolds. You may not
find a second such hydraulic manifold manufacturer in Ningbo.
The day before yesterday, Bartolomeo advised that the customer was very
satisfied with the die casting machine replaced with new hydraulic manifolds and
was ready to re purchase the equipment. The boss was very satisfied that he
spontaneously sought the hydraulic manifold manufacturer to solve the old
problems. The boss was going to promote him to take full charge of the work of
the Shanghai Branch.
AAK hydraulic manifolds make your equipment
efficient and energy-saving. You can also give it a try!
Hunter is an old purchaser of EAGLE PRO company in Canada. It
has been several years since he purchased hydraulic directional control valves from AAK. In the second half of last year, Hunter
emailed that he would become the general manager of Hangzhou branch in a month
and visit AAK. Hunter has been engaged in procurement for 5 or 6 years. This
promotion must be due to outstanding contributions. Some time ago, their
company developed a batch of hydraulic cylinders, which vibrated greatly during
commissioning. Their engineer thought that there was a problem with the
hydraulic directional control valve, but the hydraulic directional control
valve was normal when tested separately. The engineer was confused, and the
boss was also very anxious. He asked hunter to consult the manufacturer of
hydraulic directional control valves.
This hydraulic directional control valve is produced by a
local factory in Canada. After on-site analysis, the engineer of the original
factory thinks that the vibration is caused by the sharp change of oil port
pressure during the reversing of the hydraulic directional control valve. It
can be solved by changing the hydraulic manifold design. The engineer's scheme
is to connect two small adjustable one-way throttle valves in series on the
control oil circuit at both ends of the hydraulic direction control valve.
After 20 days, according to the plan of the original hydraulic directional
control valve manufacturer, there was no vibration. The boss was very happy and
let Hunter be promoted. Knowing that the installation of two throttle valves
has increased their cost by 20%, I wonder if there is any other scheme. After
getting their hydraulic direction control valve drawings, hydraulic manifold
drawings and the hydraulic schematic diagram of the system, AAK engineers began
to analyze.
Three days later, AAK's scheme came out. The shoulder of the
hydraulic directional control valve spool table was redesigned and a triangular
throttling groove was added to avoid the sharp change of oil port pressure
during reversing. This new design does not change the production cost of the
hydraulic directional control valve, that is, it solves the vibration at zero
cost. Hunter was a little incredible and asked AAK to immediately sample the
new hydraulic direction control valve. One month later, the hydraulic
directional control valve of AAK sample was sent out. After commissioning,
there is no vibration, but the cost is zero. Hunter's boss happily saved 20% of
the cost and asked hunter to always send inquiry for any hydraulic directional
control valves to AAK at the first time.
The design of hydraulic directional control valve runs
through the whole process of design, manufacturing, use and maintenance. A good
hydraulic directional control valve design cannot be separated from
manufacturing. AAK engineers consider not only manufacturing, but also the
function and performance of the hydraulic directional control valves, even innovation.
The innovation of this hydraulic directional control valve adds a new element
of triangular throttling groove on the original basis.
Hunter privately informed that the boss was very satisfied
that he solved the problem with 0 cost. He deserved the position of general
manager of Hangzhou branch, and he worked harder and harder.
AAK hydraulic directional control valve, advanced to solve
problems with 0 cost, you can also have a small try!
China's domestic large aircraft C919 is put into market at unit price of 99 million US dollars. Most of the performance indicators of C919 are the same as those of Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. In the future of China's manufacturing industry, labor-intensive factories will be eliminated. Instead, they will focus on manufacturers with certain technical content to benchmark or gradually surpass international first-line brands. This is also the trend for Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers.
China has numerous small factories with its own proprietary technology, such as Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers with its own unique technology. India, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries are unlikely to replace Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers within 30 years. Therefore, I am optimistic about the future of Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, especially those with their own proprietary technology.
The more high-tech, the easier it is to be eliminated. Because there is Moore's Law in the high-tech field, it will be upgraded in 18 months. However, Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers with their own proprietary technology do not have the curse of Moore's Law, so their vitality is extremely strong and can not be easily surpassed. For example, Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers such as AAK, it is difficult for their peers to copy and imitate, and even some international first-line brands cannot do so. AAK hydraulic valves have surpassed most Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers in terms of function, performance or quality.
1. AAK hydraulic valve pays attention to R & D and spends money on equipment, have high precision machine tools imported from Switzerland, Mikron GF high precision CNC machining center, GILDEMEISTER turning and milling compound machining center, and various independent fixtures upgraded and refitted by ourselves.
2. AAK technical team has engineers from the global top 10 of hydraulic valve industry, who have their own experience in material selection, production drawing design and production line quality control.
3. AAK has been ODM factory of 3 Fortune Global 500 companies for 10 years, and its quality control process is strict, which is more strict than the ISO certification system. As well as never relaxing the requirements for ourselves, we are constantly improving our technology by sticking to the details.
Don't say what Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers don't have, or how impossible, people can't think about things they don't know. These are the wisdom of laymen's ignorance, and the more ignorant, the wiser.
AAK Hydraulic valves:
1. The core technology, especially the production of core components, the assembly and final commissioning of hydraulic valves, is in our own hands. We never make small moves under the table.
2. The network marketing, grasps in own hand, every day outputs the difficult and miscellaneous problems of the hydraulic valves, solves the problem for the customers.
3. Free choice, positioning the quality of hydraulic valves, and positioning the customers of hydraulic valves at the same time, free choice of customers to cooperate with.
AAK hydraulic valve only aims to be the leader of Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, and benchmarking the international first-line brands.
Generally, "big factories", such as Alibaba and Google, have a special department called Research Institute. AAK hydraulic valve also has a similar department, but it is called bench department. This department has no short-term KPI and no KPI catch-up. Like an engineer's paradise, AAK hydraulic valve engineers dare to keep trying and optimizing with such an environment.
In AAK hydraulic valve, the sales department makes today's money, the production department makes tomorrow's money, and the bench department makes the day after tomorrow's money. Conversely, the bench department is wasting today's money, spending tomorrow's money to do development for the sake of AAK hydraulic valve strategy and the future of AAK hydraulic valve, although the future is not clear, in my mind, they are the "special team" of AAK hydraulic valve.
Making high-quality hydraulic valves can only be driven by technology. A combat team composed of several people can anchor and conquer a technical direction. The subdivided STG (Special Technology Group) focuses on innovative solutions for hydraulic valves. There has never been a shortcut or a fast track for the scientific research of hydraulic valves. Only when we settle down to do things, can we make every step steady. The reason why science and technology in this world can be developed is precisely because of the engineers' persistence, which is a long-termism and a bench spirit.
AAK hydraulic valve is used in aircraft. It sounds very powerful. But it's really hard to do. Sometimes you can't see the way. Sometimes, there are many roads in front of you. Fortunately, AAK hydraulic valve chose the right path. Even if the road is tortuous, even if the road is very hard. But the right way is never far away. The bench Department of AAK hydraulic valve has to make a hard hit on this road every day. Diligence is a way to explore talents and a necessary condition for success.
AAK engineers have experienced for many years. It is not difficult to combine, mutate and graft some hydraulic valve structures to create some new hydraulic valves. Instead of making some so-called patents that can't create any value for no reason, it's better to use your limited life to do something that can leave a mark on this beautiful planet. At that time, when I am old to die, on my deathbed, I will think that I have lived for so many years and made so many devices to run on the earth, which is enough to make me smile in the underworld.
Bless the engineers of AAK hydraulic valve. May you have the bench spirit to conquer one mountain after another. I also wish AAK hydraulic valve a happy journey.
AAK hydraulic valves, the right way, never afraid of far.
Alexandro is from a logistics
equipment company in Brazil. At the end of last year, they developed an airport
logistics equipment, which will be promoted at this year's exhibition. Unstable
pressure supply and slow response occurred in the commissioning stage, because
the inlet and outlet oil flow of hydraulic manifold is unstable. Test each
hydraulic valve in the hydraulic manifold separately, and there is no
abnormality. Their technical team did not have a solution, but only asked Alexandro
to re purchase hydraulic manifold. Alexandro knew that blindly re purchasing
hydraulic manifold was tantamount to changing the form but not the content.
After consulting the
manufacturers of the original hydraulic valves and hydraulic valve blocks, they
all said that they are unable to analyze the whole hydraulic manifold, but they
can ensure that their products have no problems. Alexandro is also consulting
other hydraulic manifold manufacturers. A week has passed and no reply has been
received. The boss also blamed Alexandro for the poor hydraulic manifold in
purchasing, and Alexandro was unable to say the suffering.
Alexandro accidentally browsed AAK
in Google and left a message: why is the pressure supply of hydraulic manifold
unstable? Such questions are not specific and difficult to answer. It is just
like the question, what is the cause of a child's fever? A blood test is needed
to determine whether it is a virus or a bacterial infection. According to the hydraulic
manifold drawings and video of commissioning provided by Alexandro. AAK
engineers judge that the problems lie in the design of hydraulic manifold and
the selection of hydraulic valves. I replied to Alexandro that AAK can redesign
the hydraulic manifold, but it takes 40 days and 6,000 US dollars of
development cost. If it fails, the fee can be refunded.
The promotion time is coming,
the boss is pressing, but he still can not find a new factory. Maybe Alexandro has
to only believe in the hydraulic manifold of AAK. After 40 days, AAK sent the
hydraulic manifolds. 1 month later, Alexandro informed that the hydraulic manifold
newly designed by AAK had been used for 3 weeks, and the equipment was normal.
Hydraulic manifold design runs through the whole process
of design, manufacturing, use and maintenance, especially affected by
manufacturing, that is to say, a good hydraulic manifold design cannot be separated
from manufacturing. AAK often receives some hydraulic manifold drawings that
cannot be processed directly according to the drawings. A good hydraulic manifold
designer must be able to analyze the whole manufacturing process. AAK hydraulic
manifold engineers consider not only manufacturing, but also the use, because
the design is for "use”, such as hydraulic manifold efficiency, energy
consumption, stability, service life, and maintenance methods. Innovation is
also needed in hydraulic manifold design. AAK hydraulic manifold innovation
means that each hydraulic valve is re combined into a new hydraulic manifold,
or some new elements are added to the old hydraulic manifold. New things are
generated in affirmation and negation, and negation and affirmation. Innovation
is just like seasoning. With such a little seasoning, the dish tastes more
delicious.
AAK hydraulic manifold runs through the whole process of design,
manufacturing, use and maintenance. You can also have a try!
Janice, from Canada, wants
to purchase 600 hydraulic relief valves. The core difficulty of this hydraulic
relief valve lies in the processing of valve elements. Most factories can only bemoan their inadequacy
for the valve elements with inclined holes and included angles. The American
hydraulic relief valve manufacturer who has been cooperating with Janice has
failed 4 times in 30 days and had to surrender. Janice found more than 20
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers online and offline, at home and abroad, but
they either replied that there was no time for sampling or no response. Janice
has been tossing about for a week and is a little frustrated.
Pablo,
an old customer of AAK, after learning about
Janice's procurement problems, suggested that she
send the hydraulic relief valve drawing to AAK
for a try. Pablo also specially wrote me an email to ask AAK to help Janice. I am willing to try to solve such
a difficult problem of hydraulic relief valve. Once it is solved, I have won
the admiration of two people at the same time.
According
to the hydraulic relief valve drawing sent by Janice, except for the valve core, other requirements are also
conventional. The valve core of this hydraulic relief valve is different from
the conventional straight hole valve core, which is marked in the drawing Φ4- Φ3.7mm
inclined hole, and the axis line of the Φ3.7mm hole forms an included angle of 60 ° with
the axis of the valve core parts. It is difficult and requires high precision
in the clamping and positioning process of hole processing. The hydraulic
relief valve manufacturers without
high-precision equipment and over 15 years old technicians will fail even if they try to make samples for 100 times.
AAK technical team
discussed for 2 days, and they were 70% confident that the sample would be
successful. Although Janice is a little disappointed, it is also the best news
she has received recently. She is in urgent need of this hydraulic relief
valve. AAK has been brainstorming for 2 weeks, constantly changing the material
of the hydraulic relief valve core, adjusting the process parameters, and
sending the hydraulic relief valve sample for the first time. After 5 days, Janice
informed that there was an error of 0.1% in the inclined hole of the hydraulic
relief valve spool. AAK carried out the second hydraulic relief valve sample
and optimized the process again on the high-precision turning milling composite
locomotive to improve the accuracy of the inclined hole. A few days after AAK's
second hydraulic relief valve sample was sent, Janice sent an e-mail. The
American manufacturer spent 4 weeks on this hydraulic relief valve, but all 4
samples failed. She tossed and turned for a week and failed to find a hydraulic
relief valve manufacturer that dared to make samples. However, AAK succeeded in
2 proofing within 2 - 3 weeks.
AAK
high-precision turning milling compound machine tool is the core of the success
of the sample. This machine tool is equipped with upper and lower tool towers.
The main shaft can be 360 ° indexed. The upper shaft is the milling main shaft,
with a rotation angle of 225° and 40 tools. At the same time, it can complete
the machining of axial hole, radial hole, inclined hole drilling and reaming,
inclined groove and tapping under one-time clamping. The key to the success of
AAK sample is our old technician, who has 32 years of practical operation
experience. With specially assigned person and special machine, AAK has unique
skills in turning and milling compound machine tools.
AAK hydraulic relief valve,
valve element with inclined hole and included angle can also be produced. You
can also have a small try!
Samuel is from OLEODINAMICA REVA
SRL company in Italy. He has purchased a non-standard hydraulic relief valve
from AAK for 2 years, and re-peat the orders 3 – 4 times every year. He didn't
expect that in order to save 20% of the cost, the hydraulic relief valves
purchased from a new manufacturer was complained by customer for insufficient
power within only half a year. This hydraulic relief valve is used in the top 3
hydraulic power unit they sell. There have been no complaints in the past 2
years. The root cause of insufficient power is that the main valve element of
the hydraulic relief valve is stuck, causing the pressure oil output by the
hydraulic pump to overflow back to the oil tank, affecting the power.
Samuel
contacted the new manufacturer of the hydraulic pressure relief valves. The manufacturer
replied that they can only guarantee the service life of more than half a year
for 450bar high-pressure working condition and high-frequency use hydraulic
relief valves. This hydraulic relief valve is benchmarked to German HAWE.
Perhaps only HAWE high-pressure hydraulic relief valve has a service life of
more than 2 years. The hydraulic relief valves produced by the new manufacturer
have only half a year of service life, and Samuel felt helpless.
The
boss can not understand why Samuel blindly changed the manufacturer without
knowing the service life of the hydraulic relief valve. This hydraulic relief valve
has been customized by AAK before. The equipment has been used for more than 2
years without customer complaints. Samuel had to contact AAK again and truthfully
told us that in August last year, another manufacturer provided a quotation of 20%
cheaper than AAK, so he moved the order of this hydraulic relief valve to the
new manufacturer. Now, those hydraulic relief valves need to be replaced, he
needed AAK’s help to produce 100 hydraulic relief valves quickly.
I immediately asked the workshop to produce 100
hydraulic relief valves at once. The workshop director said it was not worth
adjusting the production line for such a customer with low loyalty. But it is
the responsibility of AAK to solve problems for customers. At the same time, I
am grateful to this new hydraulic relief valve manufacturer. I believe Samuel
will never transfer orders from AAK again. After 3 weeks, 100 hydraulic relief
valves were successfully shipped from AAK. Samuel emailed a few days ago that
the power of the equipment was normal after AAK hydraulic relief valves were used.
AAK high-pressure hydraulic relief
valve can be benchmarked with German HAWE due to 3 key points. It may be
difficult to find such a second hydraulic valve manufacturer in Ningbo.
1. AAK hydraulic relief valve element
material is ETG100 produced by STEELTEC in Switzerland, with high strength. It
is suitable for high-speed CNC processing. After the valve element is processed
and formed, the internal and external cross-sections have the same strength and
can withstand high pressure above 450bar. Less than 1% of the manufacturers are
using ETG100 to produce valve element.
2.
AAK has a high-precision CNC
machining center imported from Switzerland. AAK old technicians can control
processing efficiently and without mistakes. This unique skill may only be in AAK.
3.
AAK technical team has engineers who have worked in HAWE
for many years and have unique experience in high pressure resistance.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, under 450bar high pressure, can be used for
more than 2 years. You can also have a small try!
Maverick comes from a hydraulic
equipment company in the United States. He has been very successful in the
purchase of hydraulic valves, but fell over on the hydraulic check valves
purchased last year. At the end of last year, the hydraulic system of a batch
of excavators shipped to Vietnam was prone to heat, and the output power was
insufficient and unstable. Users were very dissatisfied with such excavators.
According to the working conditions of the excavators, the after-sales engineer
judged that the hydraulic check valves were abnormal.
After disassembling the hydraulic check valves, it was found that the tolerance
of form and position of the valve spool and the valve hole is inconsistent, and
it was also found that the valve spool was stuck, causing the excavator to be
abnormal.
The engineer asked Maverick to
replenish 50 hydraulic check valves to solve user complaints. Maverick
contacted the original manufacturer of the hydraulic check valves, and the manufacturer
agreed. A week later, the engineer replaced the abnormal hydraulic check valves,
but 10 days later, another excavator had the same abnormality. At this time, Maverick
realized the problem. No one could accept the long-term and high-frequency
after-sales replacement, so he had to find a new hydraulic check valve
manufacturer.
Maverick left a message on AAK
website: can you ensure that each hydraulic check valve has no abnormal problem
within the warranty period? I replied, "I'll let you know if it's OK. You
can try it out.". The next day, Maverick placed a trial order for 50
hydraulic check valves and mentioned to avoid the hydraulic system heating. I
told him that the hydraulic check valve used to control the oil return in the
hydraulic system is connected with the hydraulic oil radiator and connected to
the outlet of the oil return filter element. If the hydraulic check valve is
stuck in the normally open position, the oil return radiator will not play the
role of heat dissipation. As long as it is not stuck, the hydraulic system will
not be easy to heat up.
6 months after the 50 hydraulic
check valves were shipped, I received an email from Maverick today. After
install the excavator with AAK hydraulic check valves, the excavator was still normal
after 6 months. The customer was very satisfied with their after-sales service to
completely solve the problem. I smiled and said that as long as there is no
artificial mistake, even after another 6 months, these excavators equipped with
AAK hydraulic check valves will not have complaints caused by hydraulic check
valves.
For the hydraulic check valves, the consistency of
the form and position tolerance between the valve spool and the valve hole is the
key to directly determine whether the whole valve will be stuck. AAK hydraulic
check valves can achieve 100% qualification. The most important reasons are as
follows:
1. AAK has Germany
Nagel precision honing machine. After honing, the dimensional accuracy of the
valve spool and valve body of the hydraulic check valves is IT7 ~ 4, and the form
and position tolerances are completely consistent, which is impossible for most
manufacturers.
2. Check the accuracy
of each hydraulic check valve spool and valve hole to ensure that the minimum
axial grinding tolerance is 0.075μm. Thus, each hydraulic check valve can
achieve 100% no jamming. Manufacturers with such precision control will not
exceed 3 in Ningbo.
3. AAK technical team has engineers
from the world's top 500 hydraulic valve enterprises, who have their own
experience in material selection, production drawing design and production line
quality control.
Maverick told me privately that his
boss appreciated that he could find such a reliable hydraulic check valve
manufacturer AAK this time, and the boss would give him a raise.
AAK hydraulic check
valves, the form and position tolerance is consistent without jamming, you can
also have a small try!
AAK hydraulic manifold design runs through the whole
process of design, manufacturing, use, maintenance and innovation. With such a
five-level thinking, there is no second such hydraulic manifold manufacturer in
Ningbo. A good hydraulic manifold design cannot be separated from manufacturing.
The more an excellent hydraulic manifold engineer knows about hydraulic manifold
manufacturing, the more helpful it is to improve the design level. The design
of hydraulic manifold is inseparable from experience. Of course, professional
experience can be learned from books, but it is difficult to leave a deep
impression in your mind if you do not output it. It is not easy to absorb the
experience of others without a foundation.
AAK often receives some hydraulic manifold drawings that cannot be
directly processed and assembled according to the drawings. It is common to
find problems during drawing review and process. There are many reasons, such
as the standardization of the drafter, the level of the reviewer, especially
whether the designer has a deep understanding of the hydraulic manifold
manufacturing process. AAK hydraulic manifold designer must be able to analyze
the whole manufacturing process of a hydraulic manifold drawing designed by
himself.
If a hydraulic manifold engineer only knows casting, forging, turning,
tongs, milling, planing, grinding and drilling, that is not enough. He must
subdivide them. For example, how to divide the mold during casting, how to
place the gate and riser, and what kind of casting defects may occur; For another
example, the cutting process should be able to be visualized in your mind. How
many knives are used in total, what rotation speed, feed rate, should be
selected etc., and even the shape and color of the chips, as well as the
sequence of each process. It does not mean that those engaged in hydraulic manifold
design must be able to play with lathes and milling machines. Instead, they
should know the characteristics of these operations and take them into full
consideration in the design. Such hydraulic manifold design can settle down. In
AAK, these are not enough, because technicians with more than 10 years of
service need to have more mature detailed plans. The only solution is to read
more books, communicate with old technicians and stay in the production
workshop.
The hydraulic manifold engineer should understand the interrelationship
between the transmission and devices of the whole machine, and the
interrelationship of each part. After understanding these, the drawing can be
drawn, and the drawing can have clear dimensional matching requirements and
geometric tolerance constraints. Instead of simply noting the machining
accuracy on the drawing, but cannot be realized in production. If the designed
hydraulic manifold can improve the added value of the equipment, optimize the
function, improve the performance and improve the stability, so as to meet the
high-end customers. The design made by a wordy person is a bit wordy, and the
design made by a stingy person is a bit stingy. The hydraulic manifold made by
an irresponsible person is just as irresponsible as that person's virtue.
What others have summed up is usually the result of painstaking efforts.
If we learn from problems, we can absorb the experience of our predecessors by
imitating and thinking more. AAK hydraulic manifold engineer will not say such
a stupid answer as "just ensure the concentricity", but the method to
ensure the concentricity, and even point out the mistakes of the predecessors.
At this time, the problems considered by AAK hydraulic manifold engineers need
to be raised to a higher level, because the design serves "use", such
as hydraulic manifold efficiency, energy consumption, stability and service
life.
If the hydraulic manifold design is not conducive to use, there will be
complaints. The use is also inseparable from maintenance. The hydraulic manifold
design cannot ignore the convenience of maintenance. Some large-scale hydraulic
equipment is maintained only once or twice a year, and the equipment cannot be
broken up every time. Otherwise, the eighteen kinds of weapons for the jack and
crowbar of the travelling crane and forklift are not enough, the loss resulted
from shutdown has exceeded the value of the hydraulic manifold itself.
Hydraulic manifold design should not only stand on the basis of
manufacturing, but also have innovation, and must learn to inherit. The
innovation of AAK hydraulic manifold means that each hydraulic valve is
reassembled into a new hydraulic manifold, or some new elements are added to
the old hydraulic manifolds. New things are all born from negation in
affirmation, and affirmation in negation. Innovation is like seasoning. With
such a little seasoning, the food tastes more delicious. If you can have your
own design concept and style, it is different. In this way, the hydraulic
manifold has a unique soul. A truly hydraulic manifold engineer needs at least
10 years, or even more than 15 years of hard work.
AAK hydraulic manifolds, engineers use design, manufacturing, use,
maintenance and innovation to define the design of hydraulic manifolds. It may
not be possible to find a second hydraulic manifold manufacturer with such a
five-level thinking.
Someone left a message on AAK hydraulic valve website: I saw that some hydraulic valve peers were imitating AAK articles and some hydraulic valve manufacturers were imitating AAK new products. He also attached a link to me. AAK colleagues asked me how to deal with these hydraulic valve peers?
I think so, I do my hydraulic valves, I write my articles. AAK hydraulic valve has been introduced to the public online, and its peers want to follow the flow. Perhaps several inquiries and even several orders for AAK hydraulic valves were taken away by them. But I know one thing very well. They are all fake AAK hydraulic valves. Sooner or later, their hydraulic valves will have problems. This part of the orders robbed by peers may return to AAK hydraulic valve.
On the contrary, these peers are still creating public praise for AAK hydraulic valve, because AAK hydraulic valve is authentic and its quality is benchmarked to international first-class brands. Those peers who counterfeit AAK hydraulic valve are making negative teaching materials for AAK hydraulic valve. The peers imitated the article of AAK hydraulic valve and let them to copy it. If someone can copy my 100 articles, I should make friends with him. Why? He adores me. Why not make friends.
Many times, for the same thing, our mentality and cognition are different. For example, when you see half a bottle of water, there are two kinds of mentality. A said: Oh, there is only half a bottle of water. B said: Wow, there is still half a bottle of water. Hydraulic valve peers copy my articles, I prefer to write every day, I am such an optimistic attitude. All the people who imitate me and copy me are creating public praise and negative teaching materials for me. I am grateful to them. At the same time, the business of AAK hydraulic valve will be better and better.
Peers are imitating AAK hydraulic valves, but the sales volume of AAK has not come down, which means that the imitation of peers has no impact on AAK hydraulic valves. Why do I care about the imitation of peers and take time to pay attention to this? It's absolutely unnecessary. I don't suggest that everything should be absolutely right and the secondary disasters also need to be considered. For example, there is a fly outside the window of the office. Dozens of us work here. In order not to let this fly fly in, we don't open the window all year round. It's certainly wrong not to open windows all year round. But now many people have this mentality and have this understanding. They always look at the world with a negative and pessimistic attitude. The pessimist is always right. What he says is right, but the optimists in this world often make money.
My peers copied my articles to imitate AAK hydraulic valve, and even the product names. This is similar to a fly outside the window. In order to contain a rotten man, delaying or ruining the great hydraulic valve business, which puts the cart before the horse.
AAK hydraulic valve always adheres to the right path, because the right path is not afraid of being far.
On Monday morning, I received an email from Whitney to order 2,000 hydraulic relief valves at one time. I am glad that Whitney's first order for the hydraulic relief valves to AAK was a big one. Whitney was introduced to AAK by Friedlich of Polar company, our old customer. The hydraulic relief valve she inquired about was similar to the hydraulic relief valve purchased by Polar company last time. Both of them were non-standard hydraulic relief valves.
In October last year, Whitney's newly designed hydraulic equipment needed a hydraulic relief valve. According to the requirements of equipment working conditions, the durability of the hydraulic relief valve should reach more than 2 million times. Because the equipment time was very tight, the boss asked Whitney to get the samples of the hydraulic relief valve in place within 6 weeks. Whitney knows that for non-standard hydraulic relief valves, the quantity of trial order is small, the time is tight, and the requirements are high. Most manufacturers are not willing to do it, and they can't do it well. Sure enough, Whitney sent emails to more than 20 manufacturers of hydraulic relief valves back and forth. They either replied that there was no time or no reply at all. This wasted more than a week but even the manufacturer was not determined. Whitney was very worried.
Friedlich in Polar company is Whitney's college classmate. After learning that Whitney had difficulties in purchasing hydraulic relief valves, Friedlich asked her to contact AAK, because AAK supplied them with 3 batches of hydraulic relief valves with durability of more than 2 million times in 2021. I received an e-mail from Whitney requesting that samples of the hydraulic relief valves be sent within 4 weeks for them to debug the equipment.
2 weeks later, I sent her the parcel tracking number. She was surprised that the non-standard hydraulic relief valve was sampled in only 2 weeks. I replied directly that most manufacturers could not get non-standard hydraulic relief valve samples with high requirements within 4 weeks. The reason why AAK can send it out in 2 weeks is that your hydraulic relief valve is similar to the one customized by Polar last time. We only need to modify a few dimension data in the program.
A week later, Whitney informed that the new hydraulic equipment was successfully commissioned with AAK hydraulic relief valves. At present, the durability of the hydraulic relief valves is being tested. I am confident to say that there is no need for your engineers to test the durability. I guarantee that more than 2 million times. Polar has purchased 3 batches of hydraulic relief valves from AAK within 1 year, that is to say that it has long been a fact that the hydraulic relief valves with durability of more than 2million times.
She also wanted to know why AAK hydraulic relief valve was so durable. I told her that it took more than 2 months and 3 times for AAK to make samples for Friedlich before and finally selected 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot work die steel. This steel can withstand huge mechanical stress in work. It not only has high hardness, strength, wear resistance and toughness, but also has good high temperature strength, thermal fatigue stability, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. At the same time, its high hardenability ensures that the whole section has consistent mechanical properties, so as to ensure that the hydraulic relief valve will not be impacted and eroded during the working process of the system, and achieve durable performance.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, it is very common to be introduced to new customers by old customers. You can also have a small try!
Half a year ago, David, an American customer, sent
an inquiry to AAK about 500 pilot operated hydraulic relief valves. This
hydraulic relief valve is difficult to process the inner hole. Our cost
accounting department gave a reasonable price. 3 days later, David informed AAK
that the price of the hydraulic relief valve was 16% higher than that of other
manufacturers and he could only place the order with other hydraulic relief
valve manufacturer. As far as I know, there are not many manufacturers who can
make this hydraulic relief valve. The price provided by AAK this time should be
very cost-effective. As David is our old customer, we never quote prices
indiscriminately. I always believe that it is also a sign of dishonesty to
quote prices indiscriminately.
Last month, David asked again whether the hydraulic
relief valve quoted last year could maintain its original price. I asked him
curiously, hasn't this hydraulic relief valve placed an order yet? David
truthfully told us that last time, the pilot operated hydraulic relief valves
purchased in another manufacturer were reported by the users that the stability
was poor and the valve was often stuck. They decided to get replacements. David
contacted the original manufacturer of the hydraulic relief valves, but the manufacturer
was unwilling to offer replacements. Because there were too many complaints,
David did not dare to ask the original manufacturer to re produce, so he
emailed AAK.
David was very cautious this time. He specially sent
us 5 samples of hydraulic relief valves from the original manufacturer. After
receiving and checking, we found that the inner hole of the hydraulic relief
valve has a taper, the processing size is not accurate, and the surface
roughness Ra is as high as 1.6μm. The root
cause of these problems is that the processing tool rotates improperly, which
also shows that the original manufacturer is not good at processing this
special inner hole. No wonder there are so many complaints. It is wise for David
to change the factory.
David was satisfied with our diagnosis of this
hydraulic relief valve and asked us to make samples as soon as possible. 1 week
later, AAK sent the samples of hydraulic relief valve, and David approved our
samples at one time. They specially compared AAK hydraulic relief valves with
that of the original manufacturer. Their engineers admired the inner hole
processing of AAK, which not only has no taper, but also has more than twice
the accuracy of the original manufacturer.
For the special inner hole of this pilot hydraulic
relief valve, AAK adopts CBN cubic boron nitride cutter from Sumitomo company
of Japan to replace the conventional ceramic cutter. Most hydraulic relief
valve manufacturers dare not use this cutter, which is not only costly, but
also exquisite in operation. After the program is set, the tool completely
avoids the taper of the inner hole. At the same time, for the machining of
inner holes, we also customized the CBN boring cutter of integral cemented
carbide steel, which can ensure the roughness value Ra below 0.8μm. Our
technicians deliberately adjusted the cutting parameters to: n=400r/min,
f=0.08mm/r, which improved the production efficiency and dimensional stability.
AAK has never been stingy with the cost to ensure the processing quality. For
the inner hole processing with high quality, AAK only uses the latest and most
efficient cutting tools in the industry.
AAK hydraulic relief valves most welcome customers
with high quality. You are welcome to give it a try and be repaid with AAK
unique skills.
Levi is from a
Canadian hydraulic equipment manufacturing company. He has purchased hydraulic needle valves from
AAK for several years. We often have some discussion about hydraulic valves. In
the second half of last year, they wanted to launch a new high-frequency four
column hydraulic press, but the test was not successful. The hydraulic oil
temperature is too high, resulting in unstable equipment running speed. Their
engineers checked each circuit and found no problems. No abnormality was found
in each hydraulic component, including the hydraulic needle valve. Levi
contacted the original hydraulic component suppliers and did not receive any
positive suggestions. A week passed without any progress, and the boss was
worried.
Levi thought of AAK.
Although this batch of hydraulic needle valves was purchased from American
manufacturer due to time constraint, some problems of the hydraulic needle
valves in previous times were solved by AAK. AAK engineers found out the
problem 1 day later according to the system schematic diagram, commissioning
video and drawings of core hydraulic components provided by Levi. The probable
reason is that the hydraulic needle valve has a problem. Levi doesn't believe
it, because the hydraulic needle valves come from an American factory, they
also tested the hydraulic needle valves separately, and there is no
abnormality.
AAK can redesign the
hydraulic needle valve and send samples within 3 weeks. If AAK hydraulic needle
valve can not solve the running speed problem of the equipment, we will return
the trial order fee. Levi thinks there is no risk. Maybe this is also hope. 3
weeks later, we sent out the trial order of 10 hydraulic needle valves. Their
engineers replaced the original hydraulic needle valves, and the four column
hydraulic press was continuously tested for 48h. Although the oil temperature
was also high, the speed of equipment operation was stable and the equipment
operated normally. Levi was surprised that AAK newly designed hydraulic needle
valve was more awesome than their American manufacturer. Their engineers
admired AAK for finding and solving problems.
Our customer in Belarus encountered
similar problems last year, so our engineers quickly found the problem. The use
frequency of this four column hydraulic press is twice as high as that of the
normal one. The equipment works at high frequency for a short time, resulting
in an increase in oil temperature and a decrease in oil viscosity. In this way,
the flow of oil through the small hole of the hydraulic needle valve increases,
which leads to a change in the originally set working speed and leads to the
instability of the equipment. If the flow area of the orifice of the hydraulic needle
valve is changed, the running speed of the equipment can be controlled by
reducing the flow.
Many times, most of the problems
encountered have been solved by someone, and the curative effect is good. We
only need to find this person or these people. The most stupid behavior of a
person is not willing to learn or use ready-made experience. AAK is willing to
solve every problem of hydraulic valves and has accumulated a large number of
cases.
Levi privately told me that the equipment running was smooth, the boss was in a
good mood, and was confident that the equipment pre-sale would be hot, and the
boss also looked him with new eyes.
AAK hydraulic needle valves, Levi
said that it is more powerful than that of the American manufacturer. You can
also give it a try!
Caspar is from Samhydraulik
S.p.A. in Italy, mainly responsible for the purchasing of hydraulic valves. In
March this year, Caspar requested AAK to sample 10 hydraulic pressure control
valves by soonest. This sample order was quoted half a year ago. There must be
a reason for him to be so anxious to place an order now. After several rounds
of communication, it was learned that Caspar was cheated by the original
hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer.
In the second half of
last year, their company developed a new hydraulic power unit, which requires a
high-pressure hydraulic pressure control valve, and the durability should reach
more than 2 million times. Caspar contacted more than 10 hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturers. Most of them are able to produce the hydraulic
pressure control valves with high pressure resistance and durability of more
than 2 million times. Only AAK hydraulic valve and other 2 manufacturers have quoted
prices. After receiving our quotation, Caspar said that the price of AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve was about 20% higher than that of other
manufacturers, and then there was no further news. Until today, 6 months later,
he was anxious to ask AAK to make samples immediately.
6 months ago, Caspar
selected another hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer to make samples.
5 weeks later, their new hydraulic power unit was successfully tested and the
equipment was expected to be popular. Caspar asked the original hydraulic
pressure control valve manufacturer to hurry up to prepare materials, but the manufacturer
wanted to raise the price by 40%. Because the valve spool material was hard,
the cutting tools needed to be changed constantly, the production cost was
increased, and the defective rate was also high. If without a price increase,
the manufacturer refuses to produce the order. Caspar felt very helpless.
The boss was very
dissatisfied with such a hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer who
raised the price at the last moment, and asked Caspar to find a new manufacturer.
Caspar suggested that AAK can make samples. If the original price of AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve can be maintained, 20% of the cost will be
saved. 1 month later, AAK sent 10 samples of hydraulic valve pressure control
valves. 1 week later, Caspar informed that the test was passed and 1,000
samples need to be produced immediately. Caspar also wants to know why AAK
hydraulic valve pressure control valve can maintain its original price in the
same 6 months, while the other manufacturer needs to increase it by 40%.
Most manufacturers of hydraulic pressure control valves
do not pay attention to some details in the processing at the drawing stage,
and only know after suffering in the sampling process. This hydraulic pressure
control valve has high requirements, especially the reaming of valve spool hole
is the key to the finished product. AAK does not need to constantly change the
tools, because the ingenious use of cutting fluid in the cutting process can
reduce the friction between the tool and the workpiece surface, reduce the
chip, and reduce the cutting force and cutting temperature. This is a unique
skill. AAK engineers with more than 20 years of production experience strictly
control the process, and select the best Castrol cutting fluid in the world.
With its high permeability and high adsorption efficiency, combined with the
control of our engineers, not only the cost is saved, but also the tool wear is
effectively reduced, and the surface quality of the workpiece is also high.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve is high-pressure
resistant and durable for more than 2 million times. You can also have a small
try!
Stephen is from Hi-Force
hydraulic equipment manufacturing company in the UK. In the second half of last
year, he was promoted to the purchasing manager of Kuala Lumpur Branch due to
his excellent work. Within a week of taking office, he met with complaints. A
batch of their hydraulic cylinders were noisy and vibrated seriously during
operation. The after-sales engineer failed to solve the problem within 3 days.
The user was not satisfied. Stephen was a little worried.
Stephen browsed an article of AAK on Google: "change
the design of the hydraulic directional control
valve, the vibration
disappeared, and AAK eliminated the Canadian factory at zero cost", and
left a message: how to solve the noise and vibration of the hydraulic cylinder?
After reading this message, I roughly judged that either the hydraulic
directional control valve used had problems or the original design had hidden
dangers. We asked Stephen to provide the hydraulic system schematic diagram and
design drawings, and AAK engineer judges that the working principle of the
hydraulic cylinder is reasonable, only by checking on site can we find out the
source of the vibration, and then no news from Stephen. 2 weeks later, Stephen
emailed that according to the last case that AAK solved the vibration of the
hydraulic cylinder, they also added a triangular throttling groove to the
hydraulic direction control valve, but after installation, the hydraulic
cylinder still vibrated. Their engineers said that AAK solution was a lie. I
was speechless and didn't want to explain anything, so I ignored him.
3 days later,
Stephen emailed us again, and sent a video of the hydraulic cylinder working
and asked our help to check. AAK engineers found that the hydraulic cylinder
will emit rhythmic noise and vibration whenever the load drops in the actual
work, and preliminarily judged that there is a problem with the hydraulic direction
control valve. AAK technical team discussed again according to the drawings,
the working principle diagram of the hydraulic cylinder and the working video
of the hydraulic cylinder, and confirmed that the problem lies in the hydraulic
direction control valve. I told him that AAK could redesign the hydraulic
directional control valve and asked him to send us samples of the original
hydraulic directional control valve. Stephen may have no choice but promised.
5
days later, we received the sample of the original hydraulic directional
control valve, which confirmed the judgment of our engineers that the internal
leakage and external leakage of the original hydraulic directional control
valve was reversed. 1 week later, AAK sent the newly designed external leakage
type hydraulic directional control valve. Stephen informed by email that the
noise and vibration problems of the hydraulic cylinder had been solved after using
AAK external leakage hydraulic directional control valve. In the past 4 weeks,
their engineers, from suspicion, disdain to admiration, wanted to know how AAK
engineers found and solved problems, and sent out new hydraulic directional
control valves in only 1 week.
When the load of the
hydraulic cylinder moves downward, the pressure at the oil inlet of the
hydraulic directional control valve is pushed higher due to the action of the needle
valve. At this time, the control oil inlet is still the original set pressure.
Under the action of the oil inlet pressure, the hydraulic directional control
valve will be closed. When the oil inlet pressure drops, the hydraulic
directional control valve will be opened again. The repetition of this process
leads to the vibration and noise of the hydraulic cylinder. That is, the reason
for the problem lies in the selection of hydraulic directional control valve.
It is only necessary to change the internal leakage hydraulic directional
control valve into the external leakage hydraulic directional control valve.
Just a while ago, a Canadian customer also ordered the same type of external leakage
hydraulic directional control valve, and we have existing samples, so they were
sent out soon. Their engineers have to sigh that AAK has too many customer
cases, which is true and can really solve the problem.
Stephen also privately informed us that his boss was
very satisfied with his attitude and spirit to solve the problem this time, and
his colleagues in Kuala Lumpur Branch admired him.
AAK hydraulic directional control
valve, no noise, no vibration, you can also have a small try!
Jimmy is from a hydraulic equipment company in the
United States. He has cooperated with AAK for more than 2 years and is very sticky
about the quality of hydraulic relief valves. At the end of last year, the hydraulic
pilot operated relief valve used in the hydraulic unit they developed could
only be purchased from local manufacturer because of tight time. Problems were
encountered in the hydraulic manifold installation. The existing hydraulic
relief valve of the American factory occupied a little position of the motor,
resulting in difficulties in the installation of the motor. If the position of
the hydraulic relief valve is changed, the manifold oil circuit will be changed
and the power supply of the hydraulic system will be affected. The manufacturer
of the hydraulic pressure relief valve has no time to adjust the size. Jimmy
had to look for other manufacturers of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves.
After a week, he found more than 10 local manufacturers of hydraulic relief
valves in the United States. Some of them were not willing to customize it due
to small quantity, while some gave no reply at all. Jimmy was very helpless.
Jimmy thought of AAK Hydraulic Valves in Ningbo and
asked how long it would take to produce 10 non-standard hydraulic pilot
operated relief valves? I felt his anxiety and asked if he had encountered any
difficulties in purchasing hydraulic relief valves. Only then did he tell me
the embarrassment he had encountered in domestic manufacturers in the United
States. According to the drawings and manifold schematic diagram of the hydraulic
pilot operated relief valve provided by him, AAK engineers also suggested that
the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve should be redesigned to reduce the
length of the hydraulic pressure relief valve by 35%. AAK can send 10 hydraulic
pilot operated relief valves within 30 days. Their engineers doubted this
innovation, because if the size is reduced by 35%, the load of the hydraulic
pilot operated relief valve will be affected.
We understood the concerns of their engineers. We would
see the result in a month. If AAK hydraulic relief valve can not solve the
problem of the manifold installation, we were willing to bear the loss. Jimmy was
waiting for the sample of AAK with worry. After the samples were sent out, we
soon received email from Jimmy. AAK newly designed hydraulic relief valve was
successfully installed into the manifold, and the equipment commissioning was
normal. Their engineers were satisfied. They were curious to know how AAK
hydraulic pilot operated relief valve was reduced by 35% under the condition of
ensuring parameter.
AAK adjusted the size of the spring
chamber of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, and used Smalley wave
spring which has smaller size and can be put into the smaller spring chamber of
the hydraulic relief valve. The wave spring adopts the winding process. It is a
thin circular springy metal element composed of several wave crests and troughs
along the circumferential direction in a sinusoidal form, can withstand large
loads even with a small amount of deformation, and the force is symmetrical.
Thus, the length of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve can be shortened.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve, has unique skills to solve the problem that American manufacturers can
not do. You can also have a small try!
Achilleas comes from a Greek hydraulic equipment company. One of their rollers was complained by users because of oil leakage. After sales personnel found that there was a large gap in the valve block used for hydraulic manifold, which was the root cause of oil leakage. After further disassembling the hydraulic manifold, it was found that there were cracks in the lower left and right corners of the valve block. They thought that the problem can be solved by replacing the valve block. However, after 2 months of construction, the old problem was happened again. The engineer asked Achilleas to consult the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer. The manufacturer was not sure why the valve block broke within 2 months. Achilleas was helpless.
Achilleas realized that he could only contact AAK for help, because he also sent the inquiry for this hydraulic manifold to AAK before. At that time, AAK proposed to modify the oil circuit and hydraulic valve selection, but it was not accepted by their engineers. I was not surprised to receive his email. At the inquiry stage last year, our engineers found that there was an energy conflict between the oil circuit aperture of the hydraulic manifold and the selected hydraulic valve, resulting in the frequent instantaneous pressure rise of the hydraulic system. In particular, the oil circuit wall thickness at the left and right lower corners of the valve block is not enough, so it is not surprising that the valve block is cracked. This time, Achilleas didn't go to their engineers to verify.
AAK redesigned the oil circuit, re selected each hydraulic valve, and sent the hydraulic manifold block sample after 30 days.
Last week, Achilleas sent an email saying that after replacing with AAK sample for such a long time, there was really no problem. Moreover, the total price was saved by 20% compared with the original one, and the customer feedback that the action sensitivity was also improved a lot. This time, even their engineer also suggested that the boss should give the design and production of the hydraulic manifold block to AAK in the future. He also wants to know why AAK is so good?
I told him that the most important thing in the design of the hydraulic manifold block is to determine the operating parameters of the hydraulic system, understand the requirements of the system for the maximum working pressure and maximum flow, and reasonably design the oil circuit. Secondly, the pressure drop of the valve must be considered to ensure that the pressure drop through the pressure valve, flow valve and directional valve is not too high, which will affect the load action and cause the pressure problem of the valve block.
AAK has more than 20 years of industry experienced professional engineer from German HAWE company, who have unique experience in the design of hydraulic manifold blocks, especially in the oil circuit design. Combined with the system principle, through the reasonable selection of hydraulic valves and the innovative and optimized design of the oil circuit of the valve block, the oil leakage caused by high pressure can be avoided, and an efficient, economical and reliable hydraulic manifold block can be produced. Maybe there is no such second hydraulic manifold block manufacturer in Ningbo.
AAK hydraulic manifold block is economical, efficient and reliable. You can also try it!
I have some insistence that some of my counterparts in the hydraulic valve industry think that it is strange and even unnecessary. For many things, I am quite soft, but once those insistences are touched, I immediately become as hard as steel.
The price of hydraulic valves: as a hydraulic valve manufacturing company for more than 10 years, we have inquiries from new hydraulic valve customers every week, they are mostly B2B customers. These buyers are particularly concerned about one thing: price. This seems to be nonsense. Everyone cares about the price. What I am talking about is not the level of prices, but the consistency of prices.
Once, a hydraulic valve customer from Chile made an inquiry through e-mail. After several rounds of communication, he asked for my social account. I was a little puzzled. He asked privately: are you sure that the price you gave me is the same as others? I know that my Chilean counterparts also purchase hydraulic valves from AAK. I said of course. The same hydraulic valve, the same quantity range, and our price are always the same. He still seems worried. I know this is your principle, but have your colleagues really made no exceptions? I said no. I insist on that.
He said that last year, he purchased a batch of hydraulic valves from manufacturer A. The price was very expensive and the quality was good. It was a purchase order specially approved by his boss. A few days ago, his boss met one of his counterpart and learned that his counterpart also purchased the same batch of hydraulic valves from manufacturer A in the same quantity, but the price was much lower. The boss felt that he had been wronged. When he came back, he flew into a rage and asked me if I had taken a rebate. That was wrong.
For AAK hydraulic valve, it would be great to have one more customer. However, if there is one more customer, it is at the cost of hurting another customer who once trusted you by using the "big data" method, this is too "expensive". I insist on not being manufacturer A.
I said, I see. Trust me. The next day, his hydraulic valve PO came.
The punctuality of AAK hydraulic valve: in my mind, there is no punctuality, either early or late. You choose by yourself. At first glance, it seems strange, right? But when I think about it, we often say the word "punctuality". What's the perspective? This is the other side's perspective. For example, when a meeting is held at 8 o'clock, the other party expresses the schedule. What about changing to your own perspective? What's on time? I have only two choices. Because this is important, because I respect this group of people, because I have to do something else. In short, a positive idea will choose to arrive early. In AAK hydraulic valve, only early, not late.
AAK hydraulic valve, there are still many more strange insistence.
For example, in the discussion on the development technology of hydraulic valves, we insist on not saying anything we don't agree with. For this reason, we have offended the customer's engineer and cancelled the order. For example, we insist on not giving rebates. Some buyers are willing to add a few more points to the PO, and then give them rebates. This makes it difficult for me to explain to his boss. These insistences, in my counterparts’ opinion, may be completely unnecessary or even totally wrong. But these are my insistence. Please don't touch, I insist. But what if one day, because of these insistences, the company goes bankrupt? Then go bankrupt.
I have always believed that no matter in business or in communication with people, there are 3 most important elements: the first is honesty, the second is frankness, and the third is trust. Business method can decide how high to fly, and business ethics can decide how far to fly. You might say, what if you can't be yourself voluntarily? If there is no way to do the right thing, at least not to do the wrong thing; if there is no way to tell the whole truth, at least not to tell lies.
The fundamental solution is to engage in the production of hydraulic valves, not to do evil, not to fabricate, not to be greedy, to do a good job in the manufacturing quality of hydraulic valves in a down-to-earth manner, and to give back to customers. When the company is faced with the difficult decision of performance and dream, what the company needs is a real crisis, so that all internal forces can feel the real crisis of death, the crisis of trembling performance, and the crisis of silence for all. Then the company can be reborn. For individuals, only by choosing integrity values can they go further and more steadily.
AAK hydraulic valve can only take a road that few people take and do difficult and correct things. All the difficult things will become simpler, and the simple things will become more and more difficult. Because the difficult road is never crowded.
Let's bless AAK hydraulic valve.
Mike
is a Canadian customer who has cooperated with AAK for more than 2 years, and
he has been very smooth in purchasing hydraulic valves. But in May this year,
he suffered a lot in purchasing this hydraulic pressure valve. The order for a hydraulic
pressure valve originally supplied by an American manufacturer, was not accepted
by the manufacturer due to capacity. He contacted some Chinese hydraulic
pressure valve manufacturers. To his surprise, most manufacturers offered 20%
more than the original American manufacturer, and two of them were about the same
price as the American manufacturer, however, the surface roughness and diameter
tolerance of the hydraulic pressure valve samples were not up to standard. Mike
was distressed that he couldn't find a substitute for the original American
hydraulic pressure valve manufacturer.
Mike
knows that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE is a manufacturer that pays attention to
quality, and its price will be higher than that of its domestic counterparts.
With regard to this hydraulic pressure valve, he emailed me and asked why most
manufacturers offered 20% more than the original American manufacturer? For
this abnormal situation, I told him directly that it must be due to the high
defective rate of processing. AAK is confident that the price is cheaper than
American manufacturer, and the quality is not inferior to American
manufacturer.
According
to the drawings of the hydraulic pressure valve issued by him, AAK technical team
found that the processing was really exquisite. It requires that the coaxiality
and roundness of the Φ8mm/Φ9mm hole should be less than 5μm, and the Φ15mm/Φ9mm
orifice should be free of burrs. To guarantee coaxiality and roundness
requirements of 5μm, and keep the inner wall of the hole at 0.6μm roughness, at
least 50% of valves should be scrapped according to the existing processing
technology. This confirms my guess that why the quotation of domestic
manufacturers is 20% higher than that of American original manufacturer.
Mike
was not calm after receiving the quotation of AAK hydraulic pressure valve. He
repeatedly confirmed with me whether the price was wrong? The price of AAK is
not only cheaper than that of domestic manufacturers, but also 30% cheaper than
that of American manufacturer. I told him that this hydraulic pressure valve
can only be drilled and reamed for many times by domestic peers, which not only
has a long processing cycle, but also is difficult to ensure the processing
accuracy. At the same time, the whole hole processing including tool change
time is at least 210 seconds, and most of the tool life is less than 500 holes,
which is time-consuming, money consuming, and what is worse, the qualified
products are very limited. Of course, the cost is high. Mike asked me to try
the sample directly. 2 weeks later, we sent the hydraulic pressure valve
sample. 5 days later, Mike’s team confirmed the quality of AAK hydraulic
pressure valve at one time, and the production time provided by AAK was less
than half of domestic peers.
For
processing this hydraulic pressure valve, we use integral cemented carbide
tools, and use 3 efficient tools to replace the original 9 tools. We also use
special guide strips and internal cooling design to maintain tool life and
improve cutting speed and machining accuracy. The number of inner holes can be
stabilized at 3000, which is 6 times that of peers. The internal leakage of the
whole machine has also been reduced from 1.6 to 1.1, and the processing and
tool change time has been reduced to 45s, which is only 22% of peers. Such
efficient and high-quality processing is not our temporary idea, but the result
of adhering to technological innovation. There may not be such a second
hydraulic pressure valve manufacturer in Ningbo.
AAK
hydraulic pressure valve is benchmarked to the quality of American manufacturer.
You are welcome to test an order.
Today, Eichendorff from Germany placed a re-order
for 500 hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valves and told us that his
boss was very satisfied with the quality of AAK. It has been more than 1 year
since the last purchase of hydraulic pressure control valves, and no customer
complained about unstable pressure supply. At the beginning of last year, one
of their hydraulic power units was complained by customers that the pressure
supply was often unstable after using a period of time. They judged that there
was a problem with the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve. After
the valve was replaced, the pressure supply of the equipment was normal.
Eichendorff sent the replaced valve back to the original hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturer. After inspection, the manufacturer found that the
parameters and functions were produced according to the requirements of
Eichendorff's company. He thought that they had moved the pressure regulating
screw of the hydraulic pressure control valve during installation. After
measurement, Eichendorff's engineers found that all parameters of the original
hydraulic pressure control valve could be benchmarked, but they did not change
the pressure regulating screw during installation.
Eichendorff contacted several local German hydraulic
pressure control valve manufacturers, and most of them were unwilling to
analyze. After browsing AAK website on Google, Eichendorff sent an email and
asked: what is the reason for the unstable pressure supply of the hydraulic
pressure control valve after using a period of time? AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE often
receives similar questions, and we are happy to solve these problems, because
this is the best source for accurate customers. Eichendorff sent us the
samples, drawings and hydraulic system schematic diagram of the hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve the next day. 1 week later, AAK engineers
disassembled the hydraulic pressure control valve and found 2 possibilities in
combination with various technical parameters. First, the design of the damping
hole of the hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve should be improved.
The ratio of the opening pressure to the set pressure is a little high, which will
cause too large pressure regulation deviation, thus affecting the stability of
the valve. Second, the type selection of the spring of the hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve is not suitable, and a spring with better
elasticity is required.
After receiving our diagnosis, Eichendorff hoped
that AAK could test the samples according to our ideas and was willing to pay
the development cost. AAK technical team spent 24 days and tried samples for 6
times, and found the most suitable pressure ratio, adjusted the original design
of the damping hole, selected 3 springs with good elasticity to compare, and
determined the special SiCr alloy steel spring as the spring of the hydraulic pilot
operated pressure control valve. After 30 days, 30 samples were sent.
3 months later, Eichendorff informed by email that
when AAK hydraulic pilot operated pressure control valve was used, no customer
complained about unstable pressure supply. I replied that according to previous
customer feedback, there will be no customer complaint about unstable supply
within 1 year. Eichendorff probably didn't believe it until 1 year later,
today, the reorder of the hydraulic pressure control valve came. Eichendorff
admired AAK service and professionalism from the bottom of his heart.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve is not only
professional, but also good at what peers are unwilling to do. Welcome to have
a try!
Oliver comes from a hydraulic equipment company in
Canada. At the end of last year, they planned to develop a hydraulic cylinder
that uses a hydraulic directional control valve. The parameter requirements are
high, especially the internal leakage should be less than 2drops/min. Oliver
inquired about more than 10 manufacturers of hydraulic directional control
valves. Only one supplier who had cooperated for 5 years told him that he was
90% sure. Other manufacturers surrendered. One month later, the hydraulic
directional control valve was installed with the oil cylinder. Less than 12
hours after startup, the hydraulic oil cylinder was unstable during
reciprocating motion. After disassembly, the engineer found that the hydraulic
directional control valve had internal leakage exceeding the requirement of 2
drops/min. Oliver was very helpless. He continued to look for new manufacturers
of hydraulic directional control valves, and they all basically replied that they
could not meet the requirement of internal leakage.
Oliver found an article on Google, "The
internal leakage index is equaled to the local manufacturer in Germany, but AAK
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve has better cost performance”, and left a
message on our website: can you customize the hydraulic directional control
valve with internal leakage of 2drops/min? At first glance, I knew that this
was an accurate customer consultation. Although the internal leakage of
2drops/min was difficult, AAK had mass production 1 year ago. We suggested him
send us the drawings and working condition requirements of the hydraulic directional
control valve, and AAK can make samples directly. If the internal leakage of
the hydraulic directional control valve does not meet the standard, 100% of the
development cost will be returned.
According to the development data provided
by Oliver, there may not be any other manufacturer that can provide guarantee except
AAK. After 30 days, AAK successfully sent 8 hydraulic directional control valve
samples. Three months later, Oliver informed that no abnormality of the
hydraulic directional control valve was found during the 3 internal
commissioning of his company. After the hydraulic cylinder was tried out by the
user, the feedback was also very good. Oliver is curious about the hydraulic
directional control valves surrendered by so many manufacturers. Why did AAK
samples succeed at one time?
AAK hydraulic directional
control valve has 3 absolute advantages and has already surpassed its domestic
counterparts:
1. The precision
honing machine imported from the United States is used to finish the valve hole
and valve spool of the hydraulic direction control valves for more than 3
times. The dimensional accuracy of the valve hole is IT7 ~ 4, and the surface
roughness can reach Ra 0.32 ~ 0.04μm, thus meeting the requirements of high
accuracy.
2. AAK
engineer team, select the raw materials and spare parts based on the
requirements of working conditions, and never follow the ordinary market. Especially
in the customization of high requirement hydraulic directional control valves, they
have rich experiences and cases.
3. AAK has been OEM factory of hydraulic valves for 3
of the world's top 500 companies for 10 years. The quality control process is
more strictly self-executed than the ISO certification system. It sticks to
manufacturing details, focuses on process innovation, and focuses on technology
research and development. Ensure that each hydraulic directional control valve
has anti fatigue, high precision and long service life.
AAK hydraulic directional control valve, 2drops/min
internal leakage, you can also have a small try!
Ernst is from a German hydraulic
equipment company. He has been doing well in recent years, and his boss is
optimistic about him. The hydraulic relief valves purchased this time has suffered
a big setback. In the second half of last year, the hydraulic power unit sold
by their company for less than 3 months was complained by customers. When the pressure
of the hydraulic relief valve was adjusted to 450bar, the equipment idled. The
engineer thought that it could be solved by changing the motor. As a result, after
the equipment started for a while, the same situation happened again. The
engineer checked each component, and it turned out that the spool of the
hydraulic relief valve was stuck. After the boss knew about it, he asked Ernst
to request the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer to solve the
problem and bear the motor cost twice. Per the manufacturer, the price of the
hydraulic relief valve is too low this time. Under the high pressure of 450bar,
it is difficult to avoid a few stuck occasionally, then there is no further news.
Ernst had no choice but to find new hydraulic relief
valve suppliers. Ernst contacted more than 10 factories and requested that the
hydraulic relief valve be 100% free of jamming within 1 year under the high
pressure of 450bar. Only two factories were willing to cooperate with the
samples, and other manufacturers gave up directly. Ernst still seemed worried
about wasting time. With the introduction of his friend Steven, who is our old
customer, he contacted AAK hydraulic valve. Ernst asked us to make samples
directly according to his hydraulic relief valve drawings and working
conditions. The key of this hydraulic relief valve is how long the service life
of the hydraulic relief valve is under 450bar high pressure? Actually, AAK has
already mass produced hydraulic valves with similar requirements.
Nine months later, Ernst informed by e-mail that the
hydraulic relief valve from one factory had been on strike because of its
stuck, and the other factory's, although still working, it was estimated to be
less than 12 months. After 9 months of use, the parameters of AAK hydraulic
relief valves are still stable and function normally. Ernst said that compared with
more than 10 factories, AAK high-pressure hydraulic relief valve has the most
stable performance and longest service life among all the manufacturers he
knows. Ernst estimated that he would not need to change the hydraulic relief
valve suppliers any more.
AAK hydraulic relief valve has 3 advantages and has
already surpassed its domestic counterparts.
1. AAK has a high-precision CNC machining center imported
from Switzerland and its own upgraded and refitted independent fixture, which
eliminates human errors. The high-precision control of component processing is
the key point to prevent jamming.
2. AAK has engineer team with over 10 years of technical
experience, independent professional research and development, with unique
research and development technology, select the raw materials and spare parts according
to the working conditions of customers' actual needs. The selection of
materials is the key to determine the service life of the hydraulic relief
valves.
3. Through EasyForm software, AAK can accurately and
quickly measure each valve component to ensure that the concentricity of each
hydraulic relief valve is 100% consistent and prevent jamming. Detection is the
final check on the quality control of the hydraulic relief valves.
AAK hydraulic relief valve is resistant to high
pressure and has no jamming. You can also have a small try!
Our hydraulic valve
customer Pablo from the Netherlands has an order for hydraulic relief valves.
Although the order qty is only 800, it requires very high precision of grooves.
He asked me for a quotation at the first time, but he thought that the
quotation of AAK hydraulic relief valve was 20% higher. I also agreed with him
to check with the price other hydraulic relief valve manufacturers. Pablo
consulted all the hydraulic valve suppliers on hand, and most of them said that
they could not achieve the groove accuracy of the hydraulic relief valve
drawing. Only 2 factories could have a try, but the price was at least 60%
higher than that of the conventional hydraulic relief valves. Moreover, only
after the sample was made, they could know whether the groove accuracy could
meet the standard. Pablo was a little confused. After wasting a week, he returned
to AAK Hydraulic Valve.
Pablo was surprised
that most manufacturers could not do the groove precision of hydraulic relief
valve, which seemed to be a very conventional process. I told him that the
cutting and processing area of this hydraulic relief valve was closed, with
high resistance of the cutting tools, fast wear and tear, and difficult chip
removal. The groove precision was even more difficult to ensure, that is, the
conventional processing technology was not feasible, which was also the reason
why so many hydraulic relief valve manufacturers gave up. At the same time, I
told him that the two hydraulic relief valve manufacturers who were willing to
try were 60% more expensive because they used high-speed milling to avoid tool
damage and improve groove accuracy. This technology is not only costly, but
also has very strict requirements for the entire processing system. Otherwise,
the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and most manufacturers cannot control this
technology.
Pablo was surprised
by our understanding of the industry. It seems that he can only choose AAK to
make the samples. Two weeks later, we successfully sent 6 samples of hydraulic
relief valve. Their engineers approved AAK hydraulic relief valve samples at
one time after receiving them. I fed back to Pablo that AAK adopted UG CAD
module to solve this processing problem. No hydraulic relief valve manufacturer
in Ningbo would think of using this technology.
This technical
point is imported from Germany. The CAD module of UG is used to model the
geometric parameters of the groove, and then the CAM module of UG is used to NC
program the machining of the groove of the hydraulic relief valve. The tool
path and cutting method are set by programming. The NC program thus obtained
can carry out the precise machining of the groove and solve the problem of chip
removal. The reason why AAK can effectively deal with the high-precision
machining of hydraulic relief valve groove is that after generating the tool
path of machined parts, the whole process is simulated by using the simulation
function of UG software. Our technicians can clearly see the processing path of
the processing tool, that is, turn the closed area into a visible area. After
the simulation, determine the tool direction through UG software, and then
import it into the file of the NC machine tool to generate the code for
executing the command.
AAK hydraulic
relief valve groove processing adopts simulation modeling technology, which not
only reduces the cost, but also ensures the accuracy. You are welcome to try
the order.
Giacomo is the purchasing manager of a German hydraulic equipment company. Last year, the hydraulic lifting platform designed by his company was very creative and needed to purchase a hydraulic pilot operated relief valve. It was originally planned to be promoted on the exhibition at the beginning of the year, but the test run was not smooth. There was vibration and loud noise during the lifting process. The problem was the hydraulic relief valve. Giacomo was confused because the valve came from an old hydraulic relief valve manufacturer who had cooperated for 5 years. According to the manufacturer, this hydraulic relief valve sample was completely made based on the drawing, and the accuracy, flow, pressure and other requirements fully comply with the original design. The engineer realized that there might be a problem in the design, and asked Giacomo to contact several hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, hoping to get some constructive suggestions. It has been a month, but no progress has been made.
Giacomo suddenly remembered that during the last communication with Gerrit of Caterpillar, Gerrit mentioned that AAK Hydraulic Valve has great design ability. With Gerrit's introduction, Giacomo told me about their current difficulties, and also sent the original drawing of the hydraulic relief valve and the video of the test run. After repeated comparison and several internal discussions, AAK technical team basically determined the cause of vibration of the hydraulic relief valve and the preliminary solution.
I told Giacomo that we are 90% sure, but AAK needs to redesign the hydraulic relief valve, which will take 6-8 weeks. Giacomo paid $2,000 for the development the next day. Six weeks later, AAK sent the newly designed hydraulic relief valve samples. A week later, Giacomo sent a video of the machine testing. The vibration and noise were gone, and the whole machine could rise and fall freely. Their engineers disassembled AAK hydraulic relief valve, only then did they know that AAK design was brilliant and had a sigh of "so it is".
AAK adds parts to the resonant cavity of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, which reduces the volume of the resonant cavity and increases the stiffness of the oil under negative pressure. According to the principle that the components with high stiffness are not easy to resonate, we have adjusted the internal design of the hydraulic relief valve, added a vibration damping sleeve and a vibration damping pad to the pilot valve, and set various damping holes on the vibration damping sleeve to increase damping to eliminate vibration. The vibration damping pad can cooperate with the resonant cavity and move freely. There is a throttling groove on the front and back of the vibration damping pad, and the oil can also produce damping effect when flowing to change the original flow.
Giacomo privately informed that after the successful test run, the whole team was very happy and their engineers admired him more and more.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, no vibration, no noise, you can also have a small try!
Nowadays, people's recognition of the quality of "Made in China" products is much higher than that of 10 years ago. In fact, this recognition is still lagging behind. For example, the Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers at the head can rank among the top 20% of the world's hydraulic valve industry only from the manufacturing quality of hydraulic valves. This is also an explanation for why Sun hydraulics directly import finished products from China. I believe that in 10 years, the hydraulic valves engraved with "Made in China" will account for more than 70% of the weight.
AAK Hydraulic Valves, 13 years ago, changed from a hardware enterprise to hydraulic valve production. We started with the manufacturing process and learned by doing. We paid a lot of tuition fees and accumulated the production technology and experience of hydraulic valves. Then slowly improve the technology according to their own production needs, refit some equipment and create some patents. Until now, the sales volume of hydraulic valves has gradually expanded, and AAK technology has gradually moved forward. At the same time, more resources have been invested in research and development to promote more basic and wider application of hydraulic valves. In a word, there is no strong hydraulic valve manufacturing, others are floating clouds.
In industrial manufacturing, there is no major technological innovation country in the world that did not start with a major manufacturing country (at least once). The advantages of China's hydraulic valve manufacturing industry chain have been self reinforcing in recent years, and continue to attract first-class hydraulic valve brands in the supply chain to set up factories in China. AAK has been OEM factory of hydraulic valves for 3 of the world's top 500 companies for 10 years. The quality control process is more strict than the ISO certification system. It sticks to the manufacturing details of hydraulic valves, focuses on process innovation, and insists on technology research and development. Ensure that each hydraulic valve has anti fatigue, high precision and long service life.
What I want to say to the domestic hydraulic valve counterparts is that 20% of the hydraulic valve manufacturers already have quality awareness. What should the remaining 80% of the manufacturers do?
Many domestic hydraulic valve peers lack concentration and patience, and specialization is to follow. Because in the past, when we set up enterprises, we could still make money by taking one shot at a time. The vast majority of hydraulic valve manufacturers are money worshippers, not technology worshippers. The vast majority are short-term, not long-term. In the past, they could survive and make money. However, after the construction of the national unified market and under the background of the globalization of industrial products, this kind of thinking will be completely over and impossible.
In Japan's manufacturing industry, there is a word called "life dedication", a whole life for one thing. This is the Japanese concept. In fact, the Germans are the same. They have focused on one category or variety for decades or even hundreds of years. This is also the reason why they both are top ones in cutting-edge manufacturing. This is also the direction of AAK Hydraulic Valves. A group of people only work on hydraulic valves all their lives.
There is another word in Japan called "one product into the soul". In order to make this product, the soul must be cast into it. To make a product, we should be attentive and soul-bound. I think that "life dedication " and "one product into the soul" constitute the core connotation of Japan's invisible champion. AAK is aiming at the invisible champion of Chinese hydraulic valves, and it acts the same.
AAK Hydraulic Valve always focuses on 3 directions, the first is focus, the second is innovation, and the third is internationalization. Globalization is a trend of historical development. Although there are some effects against globalization, the historical trend will not change after all and will not be transferred by people's will.
AAK puts "focus, innovation and internationalization" into the soul of the anti fatigue, high precision and long service life hydraulic valves. This is our way. The right way is not far away.
Last Monday, Yvonne ordered 1,000 hydraulic pilot
operated relief valves and stressed that all parameters should be in line with
the hydraulic relief valve samples of last year. It seems a little strange.
After we sent the samples last year, Yvonne said that the parameters were up to
standard, but the plan changed. She would no longer purchase this hydraulic pilot
operated relief valve. After several rounds of communication, it was learned
that Yvonne changed the manufacturer last year and had suffered a loss, so she returned
to AAK to make up the order.
Yvonne, from a Canadian equipment company, started
cooperation with AAK last year. At the beginning of last year, their company
planned to develop a hydraulic power unit, which needed to purchase a hydraulic
pilot operated relief valve. After a round of screening, Yvonne chose 3
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers to test samples, and AAK was one of them.
Finally, Yvonne placed the order with the hydraulic relief valve manufacturer with
lowest price. In more than half a year, customers complained that the hydraulic
pressure of the equipment was unstable. The pilot operated relief valve in the
system is used as a safety valve, but the valve spool and valve body are worn
and the coaxiality is deviated, resulting in abnormal valve opening and sharp
rise of system pressure, resulting in equipment failure.
According to the
feedback from the manufacturer of the original hydraulic pressure relief valve,
this hydraulic pilot operated relief valve needs to meet the high-pressure
working condition of 450bar and cannot withstand such high-frequency use. It
can only be guaranteed the service life of half a year, and has to be replaced
every half a year for after-sales service. The boss was not satisfied with the
half year service life of this manufacturer and asked to change the hydraulic
relief valve supplier. According to the records of the after-sales department, Yvonne
found that among the samples from 3 factories, only the equipment installed with
AAK hydraulic relief valve has no complaint record. The service life of the other
one was about 10 months, but AAK was normal after 1 year. I told Yvonne that
according to previous customer cases, the 18 month service life of this type of
hydraulic relief valve under 450bar high pressure is not a problem, because we
are benchmarking the service life of 2 million times of HAWE.
She also wants to know why the service life of AAK
hydraulic pilot operated relief valve is better than that of other factories?
The selection of materials is the key to resist 450bar high pressure.
Generally, AAK selects A+ material to replace the A material used by the
international top brands. For example, the 20crni2mov high carburized bearing
steel imported from Germany, is used as the valve spool of this hydraulic relief
valve, combined with the carburizing pretreatment process, through the
secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low temperature tempering process,
it is cooled to 650 ~ 700 ℃ and then discharged after it is
cooled to 450 ~ 500 ℃. The microhardness is 237 ~ 247
HV, and its wear resistance and contact fatigue performance are increased by
more than 3 times, so the wear of valve spool is no longer worried.
Yvonne privately told us that the
boss was very satisfied with her ability to quickly solve problems. AAK
hydraulic relief valve with a service life of 2 million times will be their
fixed supplier in the future.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, is high
pressure resistant, with 2 million times of service life, you can also have a
small try!
Edmund from Germany has purchased hydraulic
valves from AAK for more than 3 years. He emailed me a question this morning:
the SiCr alloy steel pressure spring is used in hydraulic pressure reducing
valves, and its durability can not reach 1million times or more? I asked him
why he suddenly asked so? He frankly told me that he had encountered problems
when purchasing hydraulic pressure reducing valves from Germany factory. At the
same time, he also saw an article of AAK that " For hydraulic pressure control valves that
German manufacturers were unwilling to solve, AAK used special spring to ensure
a service life over 1 year”, so he wanted to discuss it with me.
At the beginning
of last year, the hydraulic pump of the excavator they sold often had
insufficient startup pressure. The problem lied in the hydraulic pressure
reducing valve of the hydraulic pump. The pressure of the hydraulic system was
unstable because the pressure spring of the hydraulic pressure reducing valve
was deformed. Since this excavator has been in use for less than 1 year but the
hydraulic pressure reducing valves must be replaced. Edmund contacted the local
original manufacturer to replace several hydraulic pressure reducing valves.
The manufacturer replied that the hydraulic pressure reducing valve was
produced according to the standard, and the strength limit and elastic limit of
the piano wire used for the spring were in line with the requirements. The
problem was that the user's use frequency and working pressure were too high, problem
was caused by improper use. This time, they were willing to replace it for
free, and they would have to pay for it next time.
Edmund is aware
that if there is a complaint about one device, there may be a complaint about
the second one. This time, the replacement of the hydraulic pressure reducing
valve can only solve the current problem. Edmund began to contact nearly 20
manufacturers of hydraulic pressure reducing valves. Most of them said that the
spring made of piano steel wire was the best material. Edmund asked several
factories to provide samples for testing to simulate the high frequency and
high pressure of excavators. After more than 2 months of durability testing,
the durability of the spring failed to pass 1 million times, and basically
began to be unstable after 400,000-600,000 times.
I joked that he
found the right person to solve this problem. The spring of piano steel wire is
indeed a good material, but good materials do not necessarily produce good
finished products. We strictly follow 3 steps in the selection of spring. The
pressure spring of this hydraulic pressure reducing valve really needs better
materials to pass the durability of 1 million times. AAK Hydraulic Valve began
to innovate the pressure spring 1 year ago. At the request of the customer, AAK
technical team spent 24 days, tested samples for 6 times, compared 3 kinds of
springs with good elasticity, and selected the special SiCr alloy steel spring,
which can pass the durability of 1 million times. SiCr alloy steel spring has high
temperature resistance, high rigidity, anti relaxation and long service life.
It can be used for 1 million times under high stress conditions.
Edmund asked me
to send samples. According to his hydraulic pressure reducing valve drawings, I
told him that samples could be sent in 4 weeks. I also told him that using AAK hydraulic
pressure reducing valve with SiCr alloy steel pressure spring, he would no
longer have to worry about complaints.
AAK hydraulic
pressure reducing valve is protected by special SiCr alloy steel spring under
high stress, with a service life of 1 million times. You can also have a small
try!
Last week Logan said that he needs to order 1,000 hydraulic
check valves at one time and asked me to hurry up to prepare materials. After
reading this email, I felt very good. Logan comes from a Canadian hydraulic
equipment company. Two years ago, he found AAK Hydraulic Valve on the Internet.
The hydraulic elevator to be developed by their company needed to use special
hydraulic check valves. He asked AAK to make 20 hydraulic check valve samples
urgently according to his drawings, and promptly paid the development cost. According
to the drawing, the O-ring of the hydraulic check valve is a little special,
and each component needs to be customized. It took more than 2 months for AAK
to successfully finish and send 20 hydraulic check valves. Strangely, after samples
were sent, there was no news in 9 months until Logan's email last week.
Logan also frankly told us why we did not receive
the feedback until now. It turned out that their company had selected 3
factories to test the samples of this hydraulic check valve. In the first test,
the samples from all the 3 factories reached the standard, so they chose the
cheapest one to place an order. Six months later, they knew the trouble was
coming. The customer reported that the lift was unable to rise. After checking,
it was found that the hydraulic check valve leaked and did not maintain
pressure. The reason for the leakage was that the O-ring of the hydraulic check
valve was out of the groove and worn.
Logan contacted the original hydraulic check valve manufacturer,
and the manufacturer replied that the O-ring was a quick-wear part. If the
customer used it frequently, the quick-were part needs to be replaced every 6
months, and the O-ring replacements can be provided free of charge. However, in
such frequent after-sales, the sealing ring is a small amount of money, but the
after-sales cost is the big trouble. Moreover, the customer may not accept it.
Logan checked the original archived samples again to
verify the reliability of the O-ring of the hydraulic check valve, and found
that the O-ring of AAK was different from that of other manufacturers. He also
remembered that AAK was the latest one to deliver samples at that time. Their
engineers compared and tested the O-ring of the hydraulic check valves again, and
found that the O-ring of AAK was not only different in material, but also
different in structure.
How does AAK do it? The selection of O-ring should
not only be based on the working conditions of hydraulic check valve, but also
strictly control the size. With the special design of this hydraulic check
valve, the pressure on the O-ring comes from the inside. The outer edge of the
O-ring will contact the outer edge of the groove. The compression ratio can
only be between 1% and 3%. Considering that the shrinkage of the O-ring will
cause tolerance, AAK has customized samples for 8 times to determine the
allowable tolerance range of O-ring, which is 15% higher than DIN 3771 and ISO
3601/1 standards. Finally, the ultra wear-resistant PU polyurethane rubber
O-ring with reasonable size was selected, and it was guaranteed that the O-ring
would not fall out of groove and wear within 1 year.
AAK hydraulic check valve, with O-ring that does not
fall off groove and wear, you can also have a small try!
Margaret is from a
hydraulic equipment company in the United States. At the end of last year, some
of their drilling rigs were complained by customers that they were unable to
work. The problem was the leakage caused by the wear of the hydraulic flow control
valves. The original hydraulic flow control valve manufacturer said that due to
long-time high-pressure and high-frequency operation, the wear of the valve
body is difficult to avoid, so the hydraulic flow control valves can only be
replaced. After half a year, the fault occurs again, and it seems that the
hydraulic flow control valves can only be replaced once every half a year.
After the boss knew about it, he was not satisfied with this high frequent
after-sales service. He asked Margaret to find a new hydraulic flow control valve
manufacturer, and added the parameter requirements of high pressure resistance
in the inquiry.
In the first round, Margaret
contacted with more than 10 hydraulic valve suppliers that she was satisfied
with in the past, and only 3 said that they could have a warranty period of
half a year to 1 year under high pressure. Margaret should not be satisfied
with this reply either. After being introduced by one of our old customers, she
contacted me. I suggest that she use durability to measure the service life of
hydraulic flow control valves. After communicating with their engineers, she
requested that the durability of this hydraulic flow control valve be more than
1.5 million times.
AAK engineers judged
that according to their working conditions and pressure requirements, the
material selection of this hydraulic flow control valve is very important,
especially the valve body material. After 40 days, AAK sent 10 samples of
hydraulic flow control valves. More than 2 months later, Margaret emailed that
the durability tests of 3 factories and AAK hydraulic flow control valves had
failed. Before sending samples, our engineers tested each hydraulic flow control
valve, and the durability of 1.5 million times is unlikely to fail. After
checking with Margaret, it was learned that their boss specially asked the
engineer to increase the durability test from the original 1.5 million times to
2million times.
Margaret said that the
other 3 factories have given up re testing, and asked whether we are willing to
continue testing?
AAK is most willing to
do what its peers are unwilling to do. Three months later, the samples of the
hydraulic flow control valves were sent again. Last week, Margaret said in an
email that AAK hydraulic flow control valves passed the test and is the only
manufacturer that can adhere to the samples for half a year. Their teams are
convinced that AAK is obsessed with manufacturing quality. The boss was also
very satisfied that she found a professional hydraulic flow control valve
supplier like AAK.
Over the past 13 years,
AAK technical team has gained an experience that every customer thinks that the
problems they encounter are individual and unique. In fact, we have already
solved them here. Why do you have personalized questions? That's because none
of your peers can help you solve it, let alone promise. During the test sample
period, AAK engineers worked for more than 14 hours every day. After repeated
defeats, they finally determined 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot work die steel as the valve
body material and made special treatment on heat treatment. The mechanical
stress is more than 10 times that of other steels. The hardness, strength, wear
resistance, stability and thermal conductivity are completely consistent in the
whole material section, so as to ensure that the hydraulic flow control valves
can pass the test of 2million times under high pressure.

Friedlich, from Wirth company in
Germany, sold the drawworks of oil drilling rigs to the Middle East at the
beginning of last year. Six months later, the customer complained that the disc
brake controlled by the hydraulic cylinder of the drawworks was weak, resulting
in equipment shutdown. The reason was that the hydraulic flow control valve in
the hydraulic system was stuck. Friedlich wondered that the same batch of
drilling rigs and drawworks had been sold to Canada, Central Europe and other
markets for almost 1 year, and there was no such abnormality. The original manufacturer
of the hydraulic flow control valves is not sure why it is stuck for half a
year, but is willing to offer 30 hydraulic flow control valves for replacement and
send them to the Middle East. Friedlich was very worried about such solution
without knowing the cause of the stuck valve spool. Sure enough, a batch of
hydraulic flow control valves had to be replaced 6 months later. This frequent
after-sales service not only costs a lot, but also makes the customer
dissatisfied. The boss asked Friedlich to purchase new hydraulic flow control
valves with high temperature resistance and durability of more than 1 year as
soon as possible to replace the current ones.
Friedlich found AAK on the Internet and left a
message to us: why does the same hydraulic flow control valves have twice the
service life difference in different working scenarios? I was puzzled when I
saw this message. I learned the above story after communication. Our engineer checked
the drawing of hydraulic flow control valve sent by Friedlich, and there was no
problem from a technical point of view. The probability is that the high
temperature in the Middle East and the high-frequency operation of the drawworks
will lead to high hydraulic oil temperature and thermal deformation of the
valve sleeve, which will reduce the matching clearance between the valve sleeve
and the valve spool, affecting the movement of the valve spool until the valve spool
is stuck. Friedlich learned that when the drawworks work, the oil temperature
is above 70 ℃, while the oil temperature of the
normal hydraulic system is 30 ℃ -50 ℃. Friedlich seemed to agree with our analysis and asked AAK to send samples
of hydraulic flow control valves as soon as possible.
AAK engineers know that the core of this hydraulic
flow control valve lies in the material selection of the valve sleeve. It
depends on the job of our full-time material engineers. After 2 months'
efforts, 6 kinds of materials were tested, and a special hot work die steel was
determined as the valve sleeve for the hydraulic flow control valve. Its heat
fatigue resistance and toughness fully adapt to high-temperature hydraulic oil,
and the hardness and wear resistance of the material can also fully withstand
the wear of more than 1 year. Eight months after the samples of AAK hydraulic
flow control valves were sent out, Friedlich informed us that there was no
complaint of valve spool jamming when AAK hydraulic flow control valves were
used. I told him that within 12 months, if there was a complaint of valve spool
jamming, we would refund all expenses.
AAK has a full-time Material Engineer in the
selection of materials. He connects with the materials research institute and
university laboratories to master new materials at the first time. He is
specially responsible for screening, comparison and testing, and matching
suitable materials according to the working conditions of the hydraulic valves,
instead of general materials in the market., In the selection of raw materials
and spare parts, it is targeted from the requirements of working conditions and
never goes with the market trend. Especially in the customization of hydraulic
valves with high requirements, there are unique methods and cases.
AAK hydraulic flow control valve, under high
temperature, free of worry in 12 months, you can also have a small try!
Jone is a hydraulic customer from Canada. In recent years, his purchasing of hydraulic valves has been very smooth. However, an urgent order of 200 hydraulic valve blocks in his hand recently gave him a headache. The customer reported that 70% of the hydraulic valve blocks had large coaxiality deviation between the hole and the outer circle, which damaged the thread of the cartridge valve during assembly. The customer requested him to replenish half of the hydraulic valve blocks within 15 days, but the original manufacturer of the hydraulic valve blocks had to surrender. Although the lathe processing parameters were adjusted, and even the hydraulic valve block materials were changed, the hole position drift could not be solved, that is, the coaxiality deviation between the hole and the outer circle was large. Jone consulted more than 20 hydraulic valve block manufacturers before and after. Most of the manufacturers said that they could not completely avoid the drift generated during the drilling process of the hydraulic valve blocks, which could only be controlled between 1-2‰, but the customer's requirements could not be higher than 1‰. A week had passed, and Jone was still unable to give a plan for the aftermath, and his boss was not satisfied.
Jone, introduced by his friend Blake, who is also my old customer, sent me an email. According to his hydraulic valve block drawings and the layout of the holes, I told him that during deep hole drilling, there would be symmetry errors between the two cutting edges of the drill bit, or the sharpness of the drill bit would be inconsistent after wear, which would cause the hole position to drift. Under normal circumstances, for example, it is difficult to control the 100mm drift value at 0.1mm, that is, the error of 1 ‰. There are really not many hydraulic valve block manufacturers who can meet his customer’s requirement standard. Even if the hole is reamed after drilling, the hole position drift caused by drilling cannot be corrected. However, 3 years ago, AAK did not adopt this traditional processing method and matured the new processing technology. Jone asked me to help replenish the goods directly. The customer had no time to wait for the samples.
Three weeks later, AAK sent a replenishment of 100 hydraulic valve blocks and told Jone not to worry about the problem of hole drift that the original manufacturer could not solve. AAK hydraulic valve block is processed by using the outer circle to adapt to the inner hole, which is not only less than 1 ‰ of the error, but also has no deviation in the coaxiality between the hole and the outer circle. Here is how our workshop processes it:
(1) Blanking, with a total length allowance of 2mm.
(2) Lathing the left end face to be shiny, rough lathing the outer circle to be φ 35.5mm.
(3) Clamp the rough turned excircle at the left end and finish turning the right end face to ensure a total length of 80 ± 0.05 mm. Drill and ream φ 4.9 ± 0.05 mm through hole.
(4) Deburr the holes at both ends, and process φ 4.9 ± 0.05 mm holes at the two sharp tips, fine turning φ 34.9 mm outer circle.
(5) With φ 34.9 mm excircle as the benchmark to process other dimensions.
With φ 4.9 ± 0.05 mm holes machined first, and then φ 4.9 ± 0.05 mm hole is used as the benchmark to process the remaining dimensions of the hydraulic valve block so that the drift error in the processing of φ4.9 ± 0.05 mm hole was corrected in the subsequent processing, and the coaxiality between the hole and the outer circle of the hydraulic valve block was also guaranteed.
AAK hydraulic valve block valve hole, no hole drift, high coaxiality precision, you can also have a small try!
My friend recommended me to read a book. The title of the book is “courage to be hated”. It is said that it has dominated the first place in the sales list of Japanese books for 300 consecutive days. It's a set of great life philosophy: I have courage, so I'm not afraid of being hated. After reading it, I repeated it for a while. It's very interesting. Being hated may not be necessarily a bad thing. I was wondering, what would happen if a hydraulic valve manufacturer was also hated by its peers?
Some people say that being hated by others may also be a fortune. It is a very interesting point of view.
Last month, an Indian hydraulic valve customer privately said that a very strong hydraulic valve manufacturer in Ningbo hated AAK hydraulic valves. I was a little confused at that time. After reading the book "the courage to be hated", I was a little relieved. I think the other way around. A strong hydraulic valve peer especially hates AAK hydraulic valve, which actually sends a signal to AAK hydraulic valve. AAK must have something that he doesn't have, but he wants something. Therefore, I would like to thank this strong hydraulic valve peer. It is the peer's disgusting expression that helps AAK identify its own advantages. In fact, this peer also makes endorsement for AAK at the customer. Think so, why not be relieved?
I think human nature is usually like this, because he has done something I can't do, he has something I can't have, and this kind of thing also damages my sense of security, so I hate him. If others hate me, I need to ask myself, why do others hate me? This question seems very difficult to answer because you don't know the starting point of others. If you send it to yourself, you may find the answer quickly. For example, why do I hate someone? For example, a person always likes to show off his wealth, always exaggerates, always flatters the leaders, and so on. These are all things I secretly want to have, but they are difficult to do. Because of this, my sense of security has been damaged, so I hate him.
In AAK hydraulic valve, what have we done to annoy our peers?
1. AAK hydraulic valve dares to announce the chaos in the hydraulic valve industry, pointing out the problems existing in the hydraulic valve industry and the pain points existing in the hydraulic valve industry.
2. AAK hydraulic valve adheres to the manufacturing quality, focuses on the process innovation of hydraulic valves, and pays attention to the research and development of new types, new functions and high service life of hydraulic valves.
3. AAK hydraulic valve is promoted on the Internet every day. It says something that peers have not said or can not say every day, and also helps customers solve the difficult problems encountered on hydraulic valves.
In any case, whether the peers hate it or like it, AAK hydraulic valve only adheres to the right path, and then works hard, occasionally looking up at the sky. I know that those who are good at chess have no good skills. Take a road few people take and do something difficult and right. All the difficult things will become simpler, and the simple things will become more and more difficult.
The difficult road is never crowded. AAK hydraulic valve is always walking to the customers who are fastidious.
Giacomo
from Italy, an old customer of AAK, has been purchasing hydraulic cartridge valves
smoothly in recent years. At the beginning of last year, he told me privately
that he was a little annoyed recently. The hydraulic needle valves he purchased
at the beginning of last year was not corrosion-resistant enough, resulting in
a claim for their equipment, the four column hydraulic press. The boss has
criticized him 3 times. This hydraulic press is used in a chemical plant. After
a few months, the system pressure is abnormal. After disassembling the
hydraulic needle valve, it was found that the valve body was severely corroded,
and the wear was even more serious. The customer requests to replace the
hydraulic needle valves immediately and compensate for the delay cost. The
original manufacturer is also willing to replace the hydraulic needle valves,
but he can only ensure the corrosion resistance for 6 months. Moreover, this
batch of hydraulic needle valves is non-standard, and it takes 2 months to reproduce,
so Giacomo is not in a good mood because the hydraulic needle valve
manufacturer can not solve the problem completely.
I gave our engineers the drawings and working conditions
of this hydraulic needle valve. Coincidentally, this hydraulic needle valve is
similar to the one ordered by a Dutch customer just 1 month ago, they are both
a component of chemical hydraulic equipment. The only change needed is the size
of the throttle port. The next day, I replied to Giacomo that AAK would send 40
hydraulic needle valves in 2 weeks to solve the urgent needs.
Last week, Giacomo sent an e-mail to inform us that AAK
hydraulic needle valves had been used, and the equipment had operated for 9
months without any abnormality. The hydraulic needle valves had no corrosion.
The customer was very satisfied and his boss was even more satisfied that they
had saved a sum of work delay costs. Giacomo admires that AAK hydraulic needle
valves are not only delivered 4 times faster than the original manufacturer,
but also has a service life of more than 2 times. Giacomo also told me that because
of his performance of solving problems quickly this time, the boss also looked
at him differently, paid more and more attention to him, and his good mood came
back.
AAK hydraulic needle valve has 3 advantages in the
chemical industry, and the second manufacturer can not be found in Ningbo.
1. Hastelloy steel imported from the United States, as the
preferred material for the valve body of hydraulic needle valves, is suitable
for most corrosive media, with super corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
2. AAK hydraulic valve has a large amount of data
storage and many existing programs. With UG/SOLIDWORK software, the process
data of hydraulic needle valves can be configured in 2 hours, which is 3-6
times faster than that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers. AAK is equipped
with Swiss advanced machine tools and its own modified fixtures, which not only
has fast production speed, but also avoids human errors.
3.
The customer selects AAK hydraulic needle valves for
their chemical equipment, and has supplied 2 world top 500 chemical
enterprises.
AAK
hydraulic needle valve, the delivery is 4 times faster than peers, but its
service life is more than 2 times. You can also give it a try!
Leo
from Germany, who had been successful in the purchase of hydraulic valves,
recently lost confidence in an order for hydraulic relief valves. During the
test phase, when the pressure of the hydraulic relief valve sample is below
250bar, the system operates normally. Once it exceeds 250bar, the hydraulic
relief valve will leak oil and the pressure will be unstable. After several
debugging by their professional technicians, the oil will still leak when the
pressure is high. After disassembling the hydraulic relief valves, no
abnormality was found, but the O-ring was slightly scratched or the position
was slightly offset, which may be the cause of oil leakage. The original
hydraulic pressure relief valve manufacturer said that the O-ring material is
synthetic rubber with the best anti-aging and oil resistance. It is the most
suitable medium for this working condition. The assembly is also completed by 5
years of skilled workers. More new samples of hydraulic relief valves were
tested, but they still leaks when the pressure is high.
Leo
believes that the O-ring seal of the hydraulic relief valve is improperly
assembled, so it is urgent to find a reliable hydraulic relief valve
manufacturer to re-produce it, otherwise there is a risk of shipping by air. Leo
contacted more than 10 factories in 3 days, but none of them guaranteed that the
sealing ring will be 100% free of displacement and scratches after assembly.
The customer has been pushing for the progress of the approval samples, but Leo
hasn't even determined the manufacturer. How can he take it easy?
Leo
started to look for new hydraulic relief valve manufacturers on Google, and noticed
AAK hydraulic valve. He left a message to us: how should the synthetic rubber
O-ring be assembled to make sure that there is no displacement or scratch? At
the same time, it needs to make sure that when the pressure is above 250bar,
the hydraulic relief valve does not leak oil, and the pressure is still stable.
I told him that the disadvantage of the synthetic rubber sealing ring is that
it is easy to deform under strong force, and not installed in place. As soon as
the pressure is high, it will leak oil. Leo immediately sent the drawing of the
hydraulic relief valve to AAK to make samples. Because we have the existing
procedures for this hydraulic relief valve, 7 days later, the samples of the
hydraulic relief valve were sent. 2 weeks later, Leo told me that AAK hydraulic
relief valve had no oil leakage when it was pressurized to 300bar and tested
continuously for 3 days.
Most
of hydraulic relief valve manufacturers install the sealing ring by directly
pressing it with clamps. AAK suffered similar complaints 5 years ago. We have
been skilled in and improved the installation process of O-ring 3 years ago.
Apply lubricant to the long shaft of the valve first to ensure that the O-ring
slides without resistance. When passes through the external thread, we will use
the metal guide sleeve to guide it into the O-ring groove instead of forcing it
in. After the O-ring is put into the groove and the O-ring is restored to 100%,
check the gap to ensure that there is no displacement or scratch, and then
install it into the valve body. When it is installed in the valve body, it
should also be coated with lubricant to rotate and insert slowly, and the
O-ring will not be affected.
Yesterday, Leo sent a photo of him in the bar and told me
that this was the most relaxing time in the past month for him.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, O-ring is assembled with unique
skills, no oil leakage, you can also have a small try!
Connor is from a Canadian agricultural
machinery equipment company, mainly responsible for purchasing hydraulic
components. In the second half of last year, the sales of one of their rotary
tillers were poor. Users reported that the equipment was insensitive and
inefficient, and the fuel consumption was 10% higher than that of the same type
of equipment. The boss realized that there were hidden dangers in the hydraulic manifolds and
asked the engineers to check the causes. However, more than 1 month had passed
and there was no practicable plan. The boss was worried and asked Connor to
contact the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer to see if they could
provide technical support, but they were only good at producing hydraulic manifolds
according to the drawings. Connor also asked all his manufacturers of hydraulic
components, but none of them gave a plan. When Connor reported these to his
boss, he could only helplessly look at his boss shaking his head.
Connor browsed AAK website, saw the
display and introduction of hydraulic manifolds, and left a message: what is
the relationship between hydraulic equipment with high energy consumption and
slow response and hydraulic manifolds? I understood that Connor had a problem
with hydraulic manifolds, but it was difficult to answer. After several
communications, I learned that his boss was worried, and Connor wanted to solve
the problem that had plagued his company for nearly 3 months.
According to the hydraulic manifold drawings and the
video of rotary tiller work sent by Connor, AAK engineers had discussion. The
probability was that the hydraulic manifold design had hidden problems. From
the analysis of hydraulic manifold and system schematic diagram, there were
certain energy conflicts between the design of some oil circuits and the
selection of hydraulic valves. AAK could redesign the hydraulic manifold to
match their equipment. Connor also readily paid the development cost. 1 month
later, AAK sent the hydraulic manifold samples. 2 months later, Connor said
that after their rotary tiller was installed with AAK hydraulic manifolds, it
was responsive during operation. The operation was more than 20% higher than
before, and the fuel consumption was also reduced by 20%. The customer feedback
was good, and more and more customers came to try it out.
Connor told me privately that he had seen his boss's
long lost smile. The boss paid more and more attention to him. He will be promoted
to the management next month.
AAK hydraulic manifold has 3 advantages, and
there may not be a second one in Ningbo.
1. AAK engineers have experience in hydraulic manifold design, especially in oil circuit design. Ensure flow distribution as
required, eliminate bypass throttling loss and reduce energy loss. The
sensitive oil circuit control makes the equipment easy to control, sensitive
and efficient.
2. Hydraulic manifold material
selection and proportioning. The material selection of each component from the
valve block to the valve is based on the working conditions. The selection and
allocation of all valves in the manifolds must comply with the energy principle
under the condition that the system principle is met, without robbing energy or
wasting energy. Without more than 10 years' experience in hydraulic manifolds,
it is difficult to master its essence.
3. We make good use of MDTools software to design
hydraulic manifolds. From circuit logic to the functionality of each valve, we
can do personalized design and customized production of non-standard hydraulic
manifolds.
AAK hydraulic manifold makes the equipment flexible,
energy-saving and efficient. You can also have a try!
Chernychevsky is from a Russian
company specializing in medical hydraulic equipment. Last week, I received an
urgent order from him, urgently needing 30 hydraulic pilot operated relief
valves. He specially noted that the quality of the hydraulic relief valves
should be the same as that of the samples at the end of last year. I was a
little surprised because the hydraulic relief valve had no news after the
sample was sent last year. Today, it is an urgent order and the quantity is
small. Chernychevsky may have realized my surprise. He also frankly told me
that besides AAK, another hydraulic relief valve manufacturer also made the
samples last year. In the sample stage, both samples passed the test, but the
price of AAK hydraulic relief valve was 30% higher, so AAK was not selected.
But after receiving the mass production of hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve, the trouble began.
At the equipment assembly stage,
it was found that the precision of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve
was not up to standard, so he had to sort the hydraulic relief valves and
install it again. 6 months ago, there were several complaints about inaccurate
positioning or weak lifting of the hydraulic lifting system of the equipment.
According to the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer, the hole
accuracy of this hydraulic relief valve is IT7 ~ 4. This tolerance requirement
makes it difficult to ensure that each hydraulic relief valve has no error and
can only be replaced those ones. But after 3 months, the hydraulic pilot
operated relief valve still leaked. After the boss knew it, he criticized his
hasty purchasing behavior and was very disappointed with him.
Chernychevsky realized the
seriousness of the problem and could only replace with AAK hydraulic relief
valves, because he had cooperated with AAK for 3 years and had never been complained.
He regretted not choosing AAK hydraulic valve for the sake of 30% price
difference. After the 30 samples of AAK were sent, he privately told me that he
would no longer worry about the boss' looks. He was in a good mood and relaxed.
AAK hydraulic relief valve is 100%
qualified with high precision. It depends on the following 3 points, which few
factories can achieve:
1. The imported precision honing machine is operated by
a specially assigned person to ensure the precision machining of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve hole. After honing, the accuracy of the hydraulic
relief valve hole is IT7 ~ 4, and the surface roughness can reach Ra0.32 ~ 0.04
μM.
2. After processing, the Mahr cylindricity meter
imported from Germany is used to accurately measure each part through EasyForm
software to obtain the measurement results. At the same time, the workpiece can
be quickly adjusted and aligned to improve the measurement efficiency. Ensure
the concentricity of each hydraulic pilot operated relief valve is 100% consistent.
3. After
installation, pressure test should be conducted for each valve before packaging.
During the whole manufacturing process, the process should be strictly followed
and the details should be carefully checked to ensure that each hydraulic pilot
operated relief valve is qualified before shipment.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated
relief valve, you can rest assured of accuracy, and have a small try!
Patrick
is the purchasing manager of a hydraulic equipment company in Italy. At the
beginning of last year, they sold a batch of shield machines to Portugal, which
were complained by customers within half a year. During the operation of the
shield machine, the grease pump at the tail of the shield had no pressure. It
was found that there was leakage in the hydraulic counterbalance valve of the
shield machine. After disassembly, it was found that the fitting clearance
between spool and valve hole of hydraulic counterbalance valve was worn. The
original hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturer said that the wear of
hydraulic counterbalance valve was caused by the construction environment and
pressure requirements of shield machine, and the valve spool of hydraulic counterbalance
valve was made of 12L14 steel imported from the United States with good wear
resistance, which means there is nothing else he can do. Patrick was helpless,
and his engineers were not happy that he found such an irresponsible hydraulic counterbalance
valve manufacturer, requiring him to find a manufacturer that has hydraulic counterbalance
valves with a service life of more than 2 million times.
Patrick
contacted more than 20 hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers, and AAK
also received his drawings. Combined with the working condition information, if
the service life of this hydraulic counterbalance valve needs to be more than 2
million times, material selection, processing accuracy, durability testing,
these 3 aspects are indispensable. We told Patrick that we could test the sample
directly. If the sample failed, we were willing to return the development cost.
2 weeks later, Patrick paid $600 for the development and informed that 3
hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers were testing samples at the same
time. He would only choose 1 manufacturer as their sole supplier of this hydraulic
counterbalance valve.
After
45 days, we sent the samples of hydraulic counterbalance valve. 2 months later,
Patrick wanted to order 500 hydraulic counterbalance valves at one time. After
more than half a year of comparison, AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve was the
only one that passed the durability test of 2 million times. His boss was also
very happy to find such a manufacturer. Patrick wanted to know how AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valve did in terms of material selection, processing
accuracy and durability test?
By doing 3 points, AAK differs
from the peers, but also declares that there are no peers for hydraulic counterbalance
valve with a service life of 2 million times.
1. AAK adopts 20CrNi2MoV high
carburized bearing steel imported from Germany. Combined with carburizing
pretreatment process, through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low
temperature tempering process, it is cooled to 650 ~ 700 ℃ and put into the furnace. After
cooling to 450 ~ 500 ℃, it is discharged from the
furnace. The microhardness can reach 237 ~ 247 HV, and its wear resistance and
fatigue resistance are improved by more than 3 times.
2. The precision honing machine
imported from the United States, equipped with diamond reamers, grinds
20CrNi2MoV steel. The grinding is complete and traceless, providing a good
guarantee for finishing.
3. The hydraulic counterbalance valve durability
test equipment independently developed by AAK meets the NFPA/T2.6.1 standard.
It will be warehoused after 2 million times of fatigue test.
AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valve, German materials, American equipment, more than
2 million times of performance, you can also have a small try!
I always remember an unusual inquiry email about hydraulic relief valve from Ellenburger, a Russian customer, at the beginning of this year. The email subject was "Don't reply if without ability and confidence", he should have been in trouble at other manufacturers. The content of the email was about testing 20 hydraulic relief valves, with detailed part processing drawings and parameter requirements attached. That was a hydraulic relief valve with high requirements, and the accuracy of valve hole is required to be within 2μM, the material hardness of the valve spool is HRC68, and the surface of the valve body is galvanized nickel alloy, which must withstand high pressure of 450bar. In addition, the durability test of the hydraulic relief valve must pass 2 million times. The requirements in terms of manufacturing quality, function and performance for this hydraulic relief valve is all clearly indicated.
After more than 3 hours of discussion by AAK engineers, I replied to Ellenburger that AAK was able to produce this hydraulic relief valve at a development cost of 2,500 US dollars. After the email was sent, there was no reply, and I didn't follow up. Because I believe there are few manufacturers who can make this hydraulic relief valve. For example, in Ningbo, the "hometown of hydraulic valves in China", perhaps only 3 factories have this technical ability.
3 months later, Ellenburger suddenly asked our bank account number. He wanted to pay us to sample the hydraulic relief valve. I was also a little confused. After several rounds of communication, it was learned that the hydraulic relief valve had been developed for half a year, he found more than 20 manufacturers, communicated with more than 300 emails in total, and paid the development cost for 3 times, but all failed, and his mood was extremely bad.
Ellenburger said that when he saw AAK reply that we can produce this hydraulic relief valve, his first feeling was that the manufacturer who responded so quickly should not be very good, so he ignored us. He thought that AAK would certainly follow up by email within a week, but to his surprise, AAK didn't send any email for a month, so he began to pay attention to AAK hydraulic valve slowly. In AAK website, he saw the stories between AAK and many customers, and some cases made him admire AAK very much, therefore, he believes that AAK is the ideal manufacturer of his samples this time. I was also moved by him and promised him that if AAK sample failed, I would be willing to return the development fee. At the same time, I also reminded him that if AAK could not get the hydraulic relief valve done successfully, there was no need to find other hydraulic relief valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
After 45 days, 20 samples of hydraulic relief valves were sent after passing the internal test. Last week, Ellenburger informed us by email that AAK hydraulic relief valve samples passed the test, and each parameter met the requirements. Although 2 million performance tests have not yet yielded results, he believes there will be no problem, because from the test process, the hydraulic relief valve samples of the other 3 factories are not at the same level as AAK's.
For the hydraulic relief valve with high requirements, AAK 3 major advantages are admirable to Ellenburger, and I believe most customers can't achieve it.
1. AAK selects 100Cr2 bearing steel and adopts carbonitriding heat treatment process. It is infiltrated for 13 hours at a high temperature of 820-830 degrees, then oil quenched, cryogenic treatment from -60 degrees to -70 degrees, and tempering treatment from +150 degrees to +160 degrees. The hardness is guaranteed to be HRC68 or above. Wear resistance, high pressure resistance and durability have a good foundation.
2. AAK hydraulic relief valve uses ultra-high hardness diamond reamers for valve hole processing, especially good at hard material grinding, complete grinding, no trace. The accuracy of valve hole is guaranteed to be within 1-2μm, the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2-0.3, and the coaxial accuracy data is unified.
3.AAK has experienced technicians who have been in the factory for more than 12 years and have 30 years of industry experience. There are specially assigned personnel and special machines, and the operation is flawless.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, produced with American materials, Swiss equipment, German knives, and by 30-year technicians, you can also have a small try!
As the manager of AAK Hydraulic Valve, I have 5 cards in my hand, which are time, protection, encouragement, reward and punishment. Most of the time, the quality of the card is not important, the player is the core. What a bad hand is also a card. Maybe there is no "smash a good hand", because the biggest card in a hand is the player.
The first card is time. Time can only be given to growers. In the first year of our factory construction, an apprentice came. His qualification was average, but his attitude was very good. Once the blank was bad, he said, give me more time, and I will do better. Half a year later, he was one of the best lathe workers who entered the factory in the same period.
The 2 most common dimensions of people are attitude and ability. If I can only choose one, I choose "attitude". Because attitude can make a person take the initiative, have the space to cultivate and have the potential to grow. As long as one person is willing to grow, it is worth giving him time. In AAK Hydraulic Valve, I'm not worried about your ability. I'm only worried about your growth. Giving time to a lazy person who feels good about himself is a wrong deal.
The second card is protection. Protecting card can only be given to innovators. The innovation of AAK Hydraulic Valve needs to try and break through. It is inevitable to make mistakes. The protection at this time, is to protect the enthusiasm for innovation, and the possible innovation results. At the beginning of last year, a non-standard high-precision hydraulic valve from a German customer was developed at AAK, our chief engineer fell ill, and this job was temporarily transferred to Engineer Chen. He didn't go home for a week. He stayed in the factory to follow up all the processes, including design, technical transformation, computer operation and testing. Despite several technical improvements, one parameter still failed to meet the standard. Although the customer canceled the trial order, AAK did not criticize and encouraged him to continue the technical transformation, and the cost was paid from the financial expenses. 3 months later, the second sample was sent to the German customer at our cost. The customer not only confirmed all the parameters, but also marveled that AAK Hydraulic Valve did not give up the technical transformation.
Whether it's technological transformation or innovation, it's actually not difficult . The most important thing is persistence. Many people find it difficult when they encounter problems, but if they don't try and dare not break through, how about innovation. It is the cornerstone of the development of AAK Hydraulic Valve to protect people who are willing to try innovation and can persevere.
The third card is encouragement. Encouragement should be given to those who work hard. When the technicians of AAK Hydraulic Valve encounter technical problems, they can stay at the factory for a week in order to solve problems for customer as quickly as possible. Take a sleeping bag and sleep in the meeting room. In production, it is common for the workshop director not to go home for a week in case of emergencies. Last month, due to the epidemic, a batch of raw materials from Shanghai were not in place in time, and the delivery time of customer order would be delayed by 2 weeks. After the materials were in place, director Wang of the workshop mobilized the technicians to improve the production progress by working in two shifts of 12 hours. He was on duty for 24 hours and dozed off in the workshop for 2 hours when sleepy and worked hard for a week. Although it was still 3 days late, everyone was affirmed, encouraged and had an extra 2-day holiday at the production meeting of AAK Hydraulic Valve at the end of the month.
If possible, it's good for you to work harder. People who spend 100% or even 120% of their efforts to do something deserve to be encouraged.
The fourth card is a reward, which can only be given to the producer. Applaud for hard work and pay for contribution. AAK Hydraulic Valve is ability oriented, performance oriented and output oriented, and rewards the producers. I told AAK Hydraulic Salve staff that you don't have to think about whether you want to report today or whether you want to have an extra meal with me tomorrow. I don't care. I am more concerned about your performance and output. The reward card can only be given to those who have output. In the second half of the year before last, technician Xiao Wang successfully developed a hydraulic valve, which helped AAK successfully signed a strategic cooperation agreement with a Russian customer, the sales performance in the Russian market doubled year-on-year. At the annual meeting last year, I gave Xiao Wang 25% of the sales profit of this customer. Many colleagues were not surprised at all, because AAK only rewarded those who contributed.
The fifth card is punishment. Punishment should be given to violators. Those who violate the values of the process system should be punished. Hydraulic valve manufacturers without punishment will lose the bottom line and principles. We must punish when we should. Especially in the usual output assessment, we should look at two things at the same time: 1. Has the goal been achieved? 2. By what method? The first point is to look at ability and output. The second point is to look at the system and values. If someone violates the system and values, even if the result is good, he should be punished.
We have a sales Linda, who is mainly responsible for the Asian market. Her performance goal last year was not only achieved, but also increased by 50%. From the data, it is a good thing. However, as soon as the finance department checked, it was found that her quotation did not comply with the financial regulations. For example, two customers in India were gave different prices for the same purchase demand. Some large quantities of hydraulic valves are quoted to trade orders at the expense of the company's profits. I interviewed her and transferred her to another position. She is no longer in charge of sales.
AAK hydraulic valve gives growers time. Protect innovators. Give encouragement to those who work hard. Reward the producers. Punish the violator.
Pasternak is the purchasing manager of a Russian
hydraulic equipment company. The hydraulic equipment they sold 2 years ago
could not be disassembled after 1 year and was requested for after-sales
service. During the annual maintenance, it was found that the relief valve hole
on the hydraulic manifold was blocked, but the valve was just installed under
the motor, and the clearance was less than 3cm. It was difficult to disassemble,
so they had to contact the equipment supplier and complained about the improper
design of the hydraulic manifold, also unwilling to pay maintenance fees. The
after-sales engineer spent 2 weeks to complete the cleaning of the whole
hydraulic manifold. Pasternak thought of a customer complainted last month that
the hydraulic system pressure was abnormal, but the hydraulic components were
normal after inspection. Pasternak realized that there may be problems in the
design of hydraulic manifold. If it is not solved, there will be more and more
complaints later, and the unlucky one is still him. The original hydraulic manifold
manufacturer was not sure where the design deviation was. Pasternak asked more
than 10 hydraulic manifold manufacturers, and there was no substantive
feedback.
Pasternak saw an article about hydraulic manifold of
AAK on B2B: Innovative hydraulic manifold design and manufacturing, AAK has no
rival in use and maintenance. He sent an email directly
to AAK and provided their system schematic diagram and hydraulic manifold
design drawings. After analysis, AAK engineers found that the problem really
lies in the design of hydraulic manifold. The reasons are as follows: the
design of the oil passage direction increases the volume of the valve block,
and also causes the loss of oil circuit pressure pipe. At the same time, the
selection of hydraulic valves and their installation position on the hydraulic
manifold are not optimal. We can redesign the hydraulic manifold and test
samples to ensure that the system pressure is stable and the maintenance is
simple and convenient.
Pasternak realized that perhaps only AAK could help him
and paid $2,000 for the development. 1 month later, AAK sent 3 hydraulic
manifold samples. 2 weeks later, Pasternak said that the size of AAK hydraulic manifold
has been reduced, the installation is convenient, and the hydraulic manifold
function is not affected. Last week, Pasternak sent a new inquiry about
hydraulic manifold and told me that there had been no customer complaints about
unstable pressure in AAK hydraulic manifold samples. Now as long as it was an
inquiry about hydraulic manifold, he would email me at the first time. AAK
hydraulic manifold is not only smaller than the original design, but also
convenient to install, which solves the problem that plagued Pasternak for more
than 2 years. There are no complaints in use and maintenance. The customer is
satisfied and the boss is happy.
Do not
be even a little careless in hydraulic
manifold design. We first need to determine the selection of components
on the hydraulic manifold according to the hydraulic schematic diagram, and
draw the sub schematic diagram and three-dimensional model corresponding to the
valve block. Secondly, according to the requirements of hydraulic manifold pipe
laying, make the overall layout of each component, determine the optimal
positions of oil inlet, working port, oil return port, external leakage and
external control port, prevent the installation of more than 3 surfaces,
especially under the valve block, and determine the size of the valve block
according to the maximum overall dimension of the valve preliminarily. Finally,
the oil passage on the valve block is designed according to the size and
positioning size of the oil port on each valve, so that the internal oil passage
is optimally arranged and the pressure loss of the oil passage is minimized.
Pasternak told me privately that he would be promoted
to purchasing director next month.
AAK hydraulic manifold, innovative hydraulic manifold
design and manufacturing, AAK has no rival in use and maintenance, you can also
have a small try!
AAK hydraulic
pressure control valve has conquered Samuel with 2 million times performance,
within 3μm
accuracy and 1500H corrosion resistance, with 3 these high differences, winning
back the order from Samuel's 5-year old supplier. At the same time, we have
also reached a strategic cooperation on hydraulic valves and long-term supply
of supporting hydraulic components.
Samuel is from a
hydraulic equipment company in Italy, and he didn't have much cooperation with
AAK in the early stage. At the beginning of the year, they developed a
hydraulic cylinder for the solar thermal power generation system in Dubai, and
needed to purchase hydraulic pressure control valves. Samuel chose an old
supplier who has cooperated for more than 5 years. After 45 days, the hydraulic
pressure control valve samples were tested, and it was found that the flow
control was unstable. Red rust appeared after more than 500 hours of salt spray
test, while Samuel required at least 1,500 hours to adapt to the desert
environment of Dubai. The hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer said
that the accuracy is up to standard, and the unstable flow is related to the
design. At the same time, the hydraulic pressure control valve adopts the
surface treatment of white zinc plating, and the salt spray test should not
fail. Samuel was unhappy and had to start looking for a new hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturer.
Samuel asked more
than 10 manufacturers, but none of them had confidence in the hydraulic control
valve with 2 million times of performance used in the desert environment of
Dubai. He began to worry at this time, as can be seen from his email to me. He
said in his email: I know that AAK has hydraulic flow control valves that are
not afraid of high temperature and have been sold to the Middle East, as well
as hydraulic counterbalance valves that have not been corroded after a year of
sandstorm. I have a hydraulic pressure control valve used in Dubai. No
manufacturer is willing to take over. Can AAK make a hydraulic pressure control
valve with 2 million times performance used in Dubai? After communication, I
learned that the manufacturer he had worked with for 5 years surrendered, and
other manufacturers had no intention of accepting orders. I told him that in
order to make hydraulic pressure control valve with 2 million times performance
used in Dubai, the corrosion resistance of the valve surface must be solved first.
Samuel may realize that I have hit the point of the problem, and immediately
sent me drawings and other information.
Our engineer
partially optimized Samuel's original design of hydraulic pressure control
valve and told him that for hydraulic pressure control valve with 2 million
times performance, within 3μm accuracy and 1,500H corrosion resistance, if the sample of AAK
also fails, there is no need to try other hydraulic valve manufacturers in
Ningbo, he can just wait for our samples. 45 days later, AAK sent 30 hydraulic
pressure control valves. 2 months later, that is, last week, Samuel informed
that all the 3 performances of AAK hydraulic pressure control valves had
reached the standard, and it was also the only manufacturer that reached the
standard. Their team was very happy. Samuel cancelled the PO with the 5 years
old supplier and transferred it to AAK. At the same time, we have reached a
strategic cooperation on hydraulic valves and long-term supply of supporting
hydraulic components.
AAK hydraulic
pressure control valve can be outstanding with 3 high from peers, which depends
on 3 important cornerstones:
1. AAK technical team, adhering to
innovation and technical transformation, changed the design for 6 times, and
finally determined the optimal design of the inlet and outlet of the hydraulic
pressure control valve, that is, the optimal hydraulic control ratio. By means
of diversion, the relative balance of the pressure on both sides is adjusted to
ensure the smooth operation of the equipment.
2. AAK hydraulic pressure control
valve adopts zinc nickel alloy coating, the nickel content is more than 13%,
and the corrosion resistance is increased by more than 10 times. Most
manufacturers are unwilling to spend this high cost, and also not able to
control this special coating process.
3. AAK has produced ODM hydraulic valves for 3 of
the world's top 500 for 10 years, and the performance is benchmarked with the
international first-line hydraulic valve brands.
AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve, performance, accuracy, salt spray test, no
accident, welcome to have a try!
Andy
is one of our old customers of hydraulic valves in Germany. He purchases hydraulic
cartridge valves from AAK all year round. Recently, he suddenly asked me some
technical parameters of hydraulic valve blocks. I was a little surprised. After
further communication, I learned that he started to purchase hydraulic valve
blocks for the first time last year, but failed. Andy purchased a batch of
hydraulic valve blocks from a manufacturer who just produced hydraulic valves
for him in the past. Maybe this manufacturer didn't know enough about the
hydraulic valve blocks. After 100 hydraulic valve blocks arrived, there was a
problem after sales. According to the user's feedback, the pressure of the
hydraulic valve blocks could not meet the system requirements, and the pressure
was also unstable. Most hydraulic valve blocks were required to be returned.
The manufacturer also said that these hydraulic valve blocks had been tested
before leaving the factory. Now these hydraulic valve blocks are stacked in the
warehouse. Andy regretted it so much that he was sad all day long.
According
to the hydraulic valve block drawings, sample photos, and videos provided by
Andy, I told him that the processing accuracy of the hydraulic valve block
should still be flawed. Although the original manufacturer also did the
pressure test, he may not understand that there are 3 types of hydraulic valve
block pressure tests, or even he just completed the pressure test on the
pressure test bench. This is a common problem in pressure test of most
hydraulic valve block manufacturers, but AAK never tests pressure like this.
2
weeks later, I sent 10 samples of hydraulic valve blocks according to his
drawings. About 2 weeks later, Andy advised that when AAK hydraulic valve block
was installed, the pressure parameters were consistent with the system
requirements, and it was smoother and had more stable pressure debugging than
that of the original manufacturer. Users liked it very much. Andy disposed of
the hydraulic valve blocks in the warehouse and asked us to replenish 100
pieces as soon as possible to fill the inventory.
I
told Andy that the processing of AAK hydraulic valve blocks will not be
falsified in terms of accuracy first and finally in the pressure test stage of
hydraulic valve blocks will not be sloppy. The pressure test is carried out
directly in the hydraulic system, which is more consistent with the operating
conditions than the test on the pressure test bench. At the same time, the test
pressure is determined according to the working pressure of the system.
However, most manufacturers cannot directly test the hydraulic valve block in
the hydraulic system, and directly use the traditional process to test on the
pressure test bench.
The
pressure test of AAK hydraulic valve block is divided into 3 types of
standards. Peers may not be able to master the 3 types of methods, and blindly
use the test pressure of 1.5 times the working pressure to test whether the
pressure of the hydraulic valve block is stable or not. We classify it in this
way: for working pressure less than 16MPa, the test pressure is 1.5 times of
the working pressure; for the working pressure of 16MPa~25MPa, the test
pressure is 1.25 times of the working pressure; at the same time, for the working
pressure of 25MPa~31.5MPa, the test pressure is 1.15 times of the working
pressure. AAK uses 1.5 times, 1.25 times, 1.15 times to distinguish the only standard
1.5 times of its peers. This detail not only has demons, but also money. It
depends on whether you can dig it out.
AAK
hydraulic valve block, focus on details, more stable pressure, welcome to try.
Cristoforo is from an Italian hydraulic equipment
company. At the beginning of last year, the hydraulic station they sold to
South Africa was complained by the customer in less than half a year. The oil
temperature in the hydraulic station was abnormal, as high as 80 ℃, and the
efficiency of the whole hydraulic transmission was poor. The after sales
service found that the hydraulic relief valve was stuck, which affected the
load relief and caused the oil to heat up. The original hydraulic relief valve
manufacturer believed that the jamming was caused by unclean hydraulic oil.
After detecting the hydraulic oil, there was no abnormality. When disassembling
the hydraulic relief valve, it was found that the contact surface between the
valve spool and the valve hole was worn, which should be caused by the
coaxiality deviation between the valve spool and the valve hole of hydraulic
relief valve, resulting in the jamming. The original manufacturer agreed to
replace it, but half a year later, the old problem happened again, and
Cristoforo was criticized.
Cristoforo had to find
manufacturers with long service life of hydraulic relief valves. He contacted
many manufacturers and found that most of them were not able guarantee a
service life of over 1 year for the hydraulic relief valves with a maximum flow of
240L and a pressure of 450bar, but only 6 months. Finally, only 3 manufacturers
were willing to test samples, including AAK. AAK engineers determined that the
material selection was a key step according to the parameter requirements of
the hydraulic relief valve. After 2 months, 30 samples of hydraulic relief
valve were sent out.
Last week, we received the PO of hydraulic relief
valves from Cristoforo. He said that although AAK was the latest to deliver the
samples, in the service life test, the hydraulic relief valve samples provided
by the 3 manufacturers showed that only AAK had no abnormalities after a
service life of more than 1 year. For this kind of customized, high demand and
non-standard hydraulic relief valve, our 3 advantages are not available in most
manufacturers in Ningbo.
1.
The durability of hydraulic
relief valve mainly depends on the material selection according to the working
conditions. For this hydraulic relief valve, AAK selects 20CrNi2MoV high carburized bearing steel from
Germany, combined with carburization pretreatment process, through secondary
quenching + cryogenic treatment + low temperature tempering process, it is
cooled to 650 ~ 700 ℃ and then discharged after being cooled to 450 ~ 500 ℃.
The microhardness is 237 ~ 247 HV, and its wear resistance and contact fatigue
performance are increased by more than 3 times. The heat treatment of this
material is difficult to control, and most manufacturers cannot control it.
2. In terms of material selection of AAK
hydraulic relief valve, there are full-time engineers who use Brinell hardness
tester to compare and test various materials under the test conditions of
3000kg force and 10mm ball. Many manufacturers cannot do this kind of material
selection method.
3. AAK has a precision honing
machine, equipped with diamond reamers, to do a good job in finishing. After
honing, the dimensional accuracy of the valve hole of the hydraulic relief
valve is IT7 ~ 4, and the surface roughness can reach Ra 0.32 ~ 0.04 microns.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, high
pressure, large flow, with a service life of more than 1 year, you can also
have a small try!
Hannelore
came from Demag hydraulic company in Germany and started to work in Shanghai
branch at the beginning of the previous year. I don't have much contact with
the Shanghai office. Frankly speaking, I'm not very good at dealing with these
offices with Chinese people. These people are unprofessional and backseat
drivers, they also need kickbacks. I hate kickbacks in business. In August last
year, Hannelore asked whether AAK was willing to cooperate with them to develop
a high-precision hydraulic pressure control valve, and attached the drawings
and working condition requirements. After several rounds of email
communication, I learned that they were in big trouble with this hydraulic
pressure control valve, which made him irritable.
They
have a hydraulic injection molding machine to be promoted at the exhibition in
October. This high-precision hydraulic injection molding machine has very high
requirements for the accuracy of its core components. The accuracy requirements
for the hydraulic pressure control valve used have been strictly refined in 4
aspects. The boss asked Hannelore to find a manufacturer of hydraulic pressure
control valves with high quality. After a round of inquiry, only two factories
were willing to try samples, and the others said that the accuracy requirement
was unbearable. Two months later, the samples from the two hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturers were tested. Unfortunately, there was still a deviation
in the accuracy, but both manufacturer was unwilling to try again. In other
words, his busy more than two months were in vain, and the boss was already
very unhappy.
After
analyzing the drawing of the hydraulic pressure control valve, AAK engineers
found that the 4 accuracy requirements are more than twice that of the standard
hydraulic pressure control valves. At the same time, the diameter of the blind
hole in the valve body is only 5mm, but the depth needs to be 50mm long, it is very
thin and extremely deep. During the processing process, the tool cannot pass
through the hole completely, and the inner hole is easy to cause radial
deformation, and the axial taper requirement is 1:45, and the ovality cannot be
greater than 0.01mm, this accuracy is too difficult to control. No wonder all
of those manufacturers have surrendered. After 3 days of study and research, AAK
technical team informed that the samples of hydraulic pressure control valve
could be sent after 40 days. Hannelore emailed me the bank slip of the
development fee the next day, and stressed that AAK must find a way to deal
with it, otherwise he was very afraid of the boss's outbreak.
Two weeks after the sample was sent, his email came. AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve passed the accuracy test, and the test result on
the machine was good. Their team was confident that it would sell well at the
exhibition. After the exhibition ended in October, Hannelore placed the order
for 1,000 hydraulic pressure control valves. Hannelore privately informed that
the equipment had sold well, and the boss's cold look at him turned into a
happy face. After 4 months of anxiety, he could finally relax.
The reason why we did what our peers all surrendered is
that there are 3 points:
1. The
production process of hydraulic pressure control valve is set up with ingenious
tricks, including drilling, reaming, coarse reaming, fine reaming, hole
cutting, and calibration, changing the speed, adjusting the accuracy
coefficient, eliminating the bell mouth of blind hole and strictly control the
surface roughness.
2. Use the Swiss high-precision machine tool and the
bladed reamer to cut the hole, and the roughness of the blind hole reaches Ra
value of 0.2-0.4 μm. The ovality circle error is 0.01-0.02mm, the taper error
is 0.01-0.025mm, and the dimensional accuracy of the hole can be controlled
within 1μm.
3. Before machining, the accuracy of each axis
of the machine tool is tested, including positioning accuracy, repeated
positioning accuracy and reverse positioning accuracy. After obtaining the test
data, the accuracy is compensated. Most hydraulic valve manufacturers ignore
this small detail.
AAK hydraulic
pressure control valve, benchmarking the accuracy of international first-line
brands, you can also have a small try!
Ilona is from a hydraulic equipment company in Turkey. At the beginning of last year, less than 3 months after joining the company, he needed to purchase a batch of hydraulic pressure reducing valves for their new hydraulic equipment. Ilona placed the order with an old supplier of hydraulic pressure reducing valves that has cooperated for 3 years. After 45 days, the equipment began to be installed and debugged, but the pressure supply of the equipment was unstable. The problem lies in the leakage of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves. The specific problem lies in the error between the angle of the cone in the valve sleeve and the requirements. The engineer asked Ilona to replace the hydraulic pressure reducing valves. The manufacturer of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves said that the error control was already the limit. Ilona contacted several other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers and didn't get a reply. He was very helpless.
Ilona noticed AAK hydraulic valve online and left a message on AAK website: Can AAK produce the hydraulic pressure reducing valves with the angle error of ± 0.8 ° of the cone in the valve sleeve? At that time, I felt that it was a customer with high quality, so I became interested. Ilona also sent the technical parameter requirements and drawings of the hydraulic pressure reducing valve. Our technical team was aware of the challenge of this hydraulic pressure reducing valve. The error of the cone angle in the valve sleeve needs to be controlled within ± 0.8 °, and the maximum axial grinding tolerance of the corresponding sealing circle is 7.5μm. These two precision requirements are difficult for most manufacturers to achieve, but our engineers are confident.
50 days later, AAK shipped the trial order of 30 hydraulic pressure reducing valve. Two weeks later, Ilona emailed that AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valve was installed on their hydraulic equipment. The problem of abnormal pressure supply had been solved and the equipment operated well. Their engineers told Ilona that the measurement error of the inner cone angle of AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valve was only 0.06 °, which was 30% higher than the standard, and the measurement error of the axial dimension of the sealing circle reached 2μm. It is 3 times higher than the standard. Their engineers wanted to know how AAK achieved it?
The reason why AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves achieved what other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers can't, and the two error standards are increased by 30% and 3 times, is that AAK control the quality in 3 aspects: modeling, processing and detection, which most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers can't do.
1. Through the process analysis of the hydraulic pressure reducing valve, our engineers establish the manufacturing error model to control the change relationship between the internal cone angle error and the grinding amount, which is the core of doing a good job of error.
2. GILDEMEISTER turning milling compound machining center is adopted, which can compensate the errors caused by tool wear and other reasons during the machining process. At the same time, the double reading head c-axis position detection technology enables the positioning accuracy of c-axis to reach 5 angular seconds, so as to ensure the minimum error of the conical surface in the valve sleeve.
3. Then use the special 3 coordinate detection device to quickly measure the axial dimension of the sealing circle of the valve sleeve, so that the manufacturing error falls within the control range, and ensure that the inner cone angle and the axial dimension of the sealing circle of the hydraulic pressure reducing valve meet the standard.
AAK hydraulic pressure reducing valves, modeling, processing, testing, 3 checks for accuracy error, you can also have a small try!
In the field of industrial products, China has made rapid progress in recent years, with many proud scientific research achievements and patented technologies. In the hydraulic valve industry, Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers have also begun to export, in these two years.
Each hydraulic valve manufacturer has its own engineers and its own R & D department. What is R & D? Many hydraulic valve manufacturers confuse the concepts of "scientific research" and "innovation". Generally speaking, "hydraulic valve scientific research" is to convert money into hydraulic valve knowledge, which is a department that spends money, while "hydraulic valve innovation" is to exchange knowledge for money and create wealth for enterprises. They cannot be confused. Some scientific research institutions have only completed "scientific research", but rarely completed "innovation". It is a pity that some hydraulic valve manufacturers in the world have invested a lot of money in research and development, but they are only immersed in theory and have not become innovative pioneers in the industry.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, "scientific research" and "innovation" are two teams with different offices, rather than the same office and the same team as most hydraulic valve manufacturers.
If scientific research achievements cannot be combined with practice to create value for all walks of life, these theoretical achievements are like empty promises. It is undeniable that at present, the gap between Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers and international famous hydraulic valve manufacturers in terms of scientific research and technology needs generations of excellent hydraulic valve manufacturers to catch up, but AAK's most important thing is the innovation of hydraulic valves.
During walking, it's easy to forget the original intention. I often reflect on where AAK Hydraulic Valve focuses? The value of a manufacturing enterprise is not measured by the number of orders or output, but depends on its contribution to the industry. Just like a person, his fame or status is that the society has given you more trust and responsibility to promote social progress. Whether in the hydraulic valve industry or in society, try to be a person with feelings, temperature and style. How can it be satisfactory, but I want to be worthy of my heart. Make a supreme wish, enjoy a lower blessing, choose a high place to stand, and walk to a wide place.
Whether the manufacturing of hydraulic valves is difficult or not, AAK insists on traveling with innovation and dreams. Because we are lucky to catch up with the tide of development in the era of industrial products, appreciate the era and contribute to the industry.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, with innovation and dreams, is willing to walk with you together.
At
the beginning of this year, Hedwig sent an email asking for an ultra-high
precision hydraulic flow control valve, with drawings and working conditions
attached. Hedwig comes from an Italian hydraulic equipment company and has been
cooperating with AAK for some years. In the second half of last year, they
planned to bid for a power unit for aviation hydraulic system but was blocked
by the hydraulic flow control valve. The cylindricity of valve sleeve inner
hole should be within 1μm, and the leakage during operation is absolutely not allowed to
exceed the specified value.
Hedwig found
a hydraulic flow control valve manufacturer in Italy to test the sample. 1
month later, the equipment was debugged, but the accuracy of inner hole of
hydraulic flow control valve sleeve was not up to standard, and the leakage
volume exceeded the specified 30%. Hedwig contacted several non-standard
customized manufacturers, but the cylindricity of the inner hole could only be
in the range of 2-3μm. After more than 2 months, no progress had been made, and all
components were complete, except for the hydraulic flow control valve. The
bidding time was coming, and the boss was very unhappy. Hedwig was under great
pressure.
Hedwig
thought of AAK, because only AAK met the requirements of the previous hydraulic
valves with high accuracy. Later, I replied him that according to the drawings
and parameter requirements of this ultra-high precision hydraulic flow control
valve, AAK needed at least 45 days to complete the sample production. Hedwig
said it was acceptable. After 40 days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic flow control
valves. 1 month later, Hedwig emailed that thanks to AAK ultra-high precision
hydraulic flow control valve, the company won the bid.
Hedwig told me
privately that his boss was very satisfied with his purchasing work this time,
and said that he would double the year-end bonus this year. He also wanted to
know why so many manufacturers can't do it, but AAK can?
I told him that the cylindricity of the inner hole of
AAK hydraulic flow control valve sleeve was within 1μm by virtue of the following unique 3
points:
1. The process is the key and the technology is the
core of the processing of valve sleeve inner hole. AAK adopts 6 process steps:
deep hole drilling pre-holing, vacuum quenching, rough honing, semi fine
honing, artificial aging treatment and fine honing, while most manufacturers
can only do 3 steps.
2. AAK adopts American precision honing machine to hone
the inner hole for 3 times, including rough honing, semi fine honing and fine
honing, ensuring the cylindricity of the inner hole is in the range of 0.4-0.75μm.
3. Mechanic operation is also the most important, AAK
adopts dedicated person and machine, not to say that human-machine integration,
but at least as proficient as just like the left hand touching the right hand.
AAK hydraulic flow
control valve, can be used in aviation field. You can also have a small try!
Margaret,
from India, is an old hand in the procurement of hydraulic components,
especially good at price reduction, and has little cooperation with AAK,
basically small quantities of high requirement hydraulic valves. 1 year ago,
she wanted us to develop a high requirement hydraulic flow control valve and
promised that there will be big qty of reorders. After the trial order was
sent, there was still no reorder, and I didn't want to push. In her email last
month, she said that 160 hydraulic flow control valves tested last year were
needed, and the price was required to be maintained and the fastest delivery
time was required.
This
hydraulic flow control valve was used in hydraulic bending machine equipment,
and the early test run was very smooth. The equipment was sold very well.
Unexpectedly, 3 months later, customers complained about the weakness of the
hydraulic system of the bending machine. Some valve spools and valve bodies of
the hydraulic flow control valves were worn, causing leakage, resulting in the
weakness of hydraulic system of bending machine. The original hydraulic flow
control valve manufacturer believed that the bending machine was used with high
frequency, so a small proportion of wear was normal, but Margaret's supervisor
didn't think so. He predicted that there would be more and more complaints
later. In fact, what his supervisor predicted was right. Margaret had to change
the manufacturer. She contacted many manufacturers, but none of them was
willing to develop it because of the small quantity or they couldn't meet her
requirements. Margaret was worried at this time.
Until
receiving her email, I just knew that this hydraulic flow control valve had reorders,
but were not placed with AAK, she came to me this time because she had no way.
Frankly speaking, although AAK had existing procedures, I didn't want to
produce this order for 160 pcs of quantity. It was not until her boss found my
boss 3 days later that I gave a 1 month production time and a 50% increase in
the quotation. Margaret still approved our S/C. She was criticized by her boss
because they not only lost the payment to the original hydraulic flow control
valve manufacturer, but also undertook an additional 50%. I estimate that
Margaret will never dare to transfer the order of AAK again.
I
was thinking that if your hydraulic valve manufacturing quality and service
level are high, in the communication with customers, you can be polite and
dignified, neither humble nor overbearing, otherwise the customers don't take
you seriously. The business should be done standing. Although AAK price of this
hydraulic flow control valve has been increased by 50%, it has taught Margaret
and me a lesson. I sent out 160 hydraulic flow control valves in only 2 weeks.
Margaret was very grateful for my advance shipping, and we had mended the
fences between us.
It
took us 2 months to test the sample of this hydraulic flow control valve. We
knew its difficulties, and we solved it with 3 points:
1. The valve spool is made of
20CrNi2MoV high carburized bearing steel from Germany. Through secondary
quenching + cryogenic treatment + low temperature tempering process, the
molecular structure of the material is improved, the microhardness is 237 ~ 247
HV, and its wear resistance and contact fatigue performance are increased by
more than 3 times.
2. Swiss machine tools are used for processing,
coupled with AAK's own modified fixtures, human errors are eliminated.
3. We can achieve 3drops/min for this hydraulic flow
control valve, which is benchmarked with HydraForce, while most peers can only
achieve 5drops/min.
AAK
hydraulic flow control valve is not only wear-resistant, but also leak free.
You can also have a small try!
Shirley comes from a hydraulic
equipment company in the United States, who is an old employee of the company.
She rarely fails in purchasing, and her cooperation with AAK is tepid. It was
not until the cartridge hydraulic flow control valves purchased last year failed that she learned that AAK
Hydraulic Valve was different from other hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers, and now she is sending us more and
more inquiries.
At the beginning of the year before
last, Shirley’s company sold the hydraulic power unit for metal extrusion
equipment. Less than half a year, customers complained that the pressure of the
power unit was abnormal, and even went on strike. During after sales service,
it was found that the leakage was caused by the serious wear of the hydraulic
flow control valve sleeve, resulting in abnormal equipment pressure. The
original hydraulic flow control valve manufacturer replied that under the
high-pressure working condition of 450bar and high-frequency use, it is
unavoidable for the hydraulic flow control valve sleeve to be worn and the only
solution is to replace with new one for free, but 5 months later, the same
problem occurred again. The customer was not satisfied and complained directly
to the boss. The boss was surprised that an old hand like Shirley would
stumble. After investigation, it was found that this hydraulic valve
manufacturer who had cooperated for 5 years ignored the details of high
pressure and high frequency.
The boss asked her to change the
manufacturer and replace those severely worn hydraulic flow control valves as
soon as possible. Shirley thought of AAK, because at the beginning of the
inquiry, AAK mentioned that this hydraulic flow control valve had special
working conditions, if the material selection was not proper, it would be
impossible to use it for 1 year or more. After learning of Shirley's
procurement dilemma, AAK urgently produced 50 hydraulic flow control valves
within 1 month for them to replace the current ones. 6 months after the trial order
was delivered, Shirley informed us by email that the equipment installed with
AAK hydraulic flow control valve was working well without any abnormalities,
and I said there would be no abnormalities even in 1 year. Shirley admired the
confidence of AAK Hydraulic Valve in quality, and ordered another 300 hydraulic
flow control valves.
Under the high-pressure condition of
450bar, to get the hydraulic flow control valve used in high frequency a
service life of more than 1 year or 2million times, AAK Hydraulic Valve uses 3
advantages to exceed peers.
1. The valve sleeve of AAK
hydraulic flow control valve adopts 18Cr2Ni4WA high-strength alloy carburized
steel. During heat treatment, carburize at 900~920 ℃, temper at 600~650 ℃, and then cryogenic treatment. In
this way, the hardness of the valve sleeve is more than HRC65, and it is not
afraid under the high pressure condition of 450bar. The difficulty of this
material lies in heat treatment, while most of hydraulic valve manufacturers
can not control this technology.
2. AAK has independently developed hydraulic valve durability
test equipment, and carries out fatigue test on materials in combination with
NFPA/T2.6.1 standards to ensure that each hydraulic flow control valve is
qualified before shipment.
3. For the hydraulic cartridge valve
with a service life of 2 million times under 450bar high pressure, AAK has
customers who used them in aviation.
AAK hydraulic flow control valve,
durable under high pressure and high frequency use, you can also have a small
try!
Nancy comes from a
hydraulic equipment company in the United States. In October last year, they
developed a hydraulic power unit that used a hydraulic counterbalance valve.
Nancy purchased the standard parts of SUN hydraulics counterbalance valve
according to the model required by the engineer. During the commissioning of
the hydraulic power unit, the oil cylinder shook and made abnormal noise
shortly after the equipment was started. After checking the design principle
and installation method, the engineer judged that the problem probably lied in
the hydraulic counterbalance valve. They asked to replace it with a new
hydraulic counterbalance valve, but SUN after-sales personnel said that there
would be no problem with the SUN hydraulic counterbalance valve and were
unwilling to replace it. The engineer tested the hydraulic counterbalance valve
separately, and the parameters were also normal. The technical team was
confused. The promotion date of the new equipment was coming, but the machine test
was stuck now, and the boss was also very anxious.
Nancy tried to consult with different hydraulic counterbalance
valve manufacturers, but after a week, there was no progress. She found AAK on
Google and left a message to us: After using SUN hydraulic counterbalance
valve, the equipment commissioning was abnormal, but no abnormality was found
in the separate test of hydraulic counterbalance valve. At first glance, there
seems to be no solution. Our engineer suggested Nancy to provide working
condition requirements, hydraulic schematic diagram and equipment abnormal
video. After discussion, AAK technical team judged that there was a problem
with the flow selection of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. I told her that
the flow difference of the cylinder diameter ratio of their power unit was 2.3
: 1. Although this ratio could be used for the standard parts of SUN hydraulic counterbalance
valve, its stability was difficult to be guaranteed. This was the reason why
the oil cylinder vibrated and made abnormal noise during the test run.
Their engineers also
recognized the reasoning of AAK technical team and asked AAK to customize
standard two-way hydraulic counterbalance valves with appropriate flow. 45 days
later, AAK sent 20 hydraulic counterbalance valves for test order. 2 weeks
later, Nancy informed by email that the test run was successful with AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valves, and the oil cylinder jitter and abnormal noise
were disappeared, which could also catch up with the promotion of the
equipment. Purchased a hydraulic counterbalance valve with unsuitable flow, no
one in the company could solve the problem. It was solved by using AAK
non-standard customized hydraulic counterbalance valves.
Our engineers redesigned the hydraulic counterbalance
valve, converted the appropriate flow according to the cylinder diameter ratio,
adopted small cavity and small flow, and added bypass damping at the control
port of the hydraulic counterbalance valve to improve the control stability of
the valve, which can also completely solve the shaking and abnormal noise of
the oil cylinder.
Nancy privately told me
that the boss was very satisfied with her behavior. The problem that should
have been solved by the technician was solved by the purchaser. The boss not
only praised her in public, but also let her win double the year-end bonus.
AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valve, the non-standard customized design can replace
SUN, you can also have a small try!
Last Wednesday, there was a repeat order from Peppe for a hydraulic valve block, which was tested in the second half of last year. Peppe required that the repeat order quality should be 100% burr free as same as the hydraulic valve block tested samples last year. Peppe comes from a hydraulic equipment company in Italy. At the beginning of last year, the paper cutter equipment they sold would stop automatically and was complained by customers. It was found that the hydraulic relief valve was stuck on the site, and the after-sales servicer thought that there was a problem with the hydraulic relief valve. After the original hydraulic valve block manufacturer disassembled it, it was found that there were debris at the moving part of the valve spool. At the same time, foreign matters were also found in the hydraulic oil, so it was known that it was caused by the incomplete burr cleaning of the hydraulic valve block.
The original hydraulic valve block manufacturer also does not deny it. The burr cleaning of the inner cavity of the oil channel, the cross hole and the blind hole of this hydraulic valve block was indeed less than 100%. As long as the hydraulic oil can be replaced every 3 months, the problem can be solved. Peppe was very speechless and had to find a new hydraulic valve block manufacturer, and deliberately required 100% burr free. She contacted more than 10 hydraulic valve block manufacturers, they either gave no reply or could only have a try, but Peppe didn't have time to test, and began to worry.
Peppe noticed the introduction of "100% burr free hydraulic valve block" in AAK on Google, so she directly sent us an email. I told her, "according to your hydraulic valve block drawing, there are many inner cavities and cross holes in the oil duct, especially the burr cleaning at the blind hole is a difficult problem. The traditional abrasive flow deburring method to remove this hydraulic valve block has hidden dangers. AAK suffered from it 5 years ago, and it was not until we used the new deburring technology that we dared to ensure 100% burr free". Peppe asked us to make samples as soon as possible. A month later, AAK sent 5 hydraulic valve blocks.
6 months later, Peppe emailed us that the paper cutter installed with AAK hydraulic valve block has been working normally. I told her that AAK adopted an intelligent grinding processing system to replace the traditional abrasive flow process. If this hydraulic valve block is deburred with abrasive flow, and the blind hole is easy to form a dead corner. The intelligent grinding and processing system can realize automatic solution. In the grinding process of the hydraulic valve block, with continuous power support and stability, the main shaft of the equipment can swing 360 °, which can realize the grinding of any angle and any inclined plane. No matter in the fixture positioning, or in the automatic optimization compensation of the simulation path simulation of the hydraulic valve block structure, the intelligent grinding processing system has no dead corner. No matter the surface of the hydraulic valve body, or the inner hole, cross hole, blind hole of the hydraulic valve block, as well as the end face and inner and outer contour of the orifice, the burrs can be completely removed.

Last week, once a hydraulic manifold drawing was approved, the customer wired the full payment of more than US$50,000 US dollars at one time, and the delivery was 2 months later. This is a customized hydraulic manifold. It is the first order from an Italian customer. It is the first time for him to cooperate with AAK Hydraulic Valves. I think behind his action is his trust in AAK Hydraulic Valves. If we say what is the most important asset in the future, I think it is "trust". If what is the most terrible risk in the future, I think it is "lack of trust".
Some customers agree with the manufacturing quality of AAK Hydraulic Valves, know that AAK is the supplier of the first brand of hydraulic valves (HydraForce) for 9 consecutive years, and know that although AAK Hydraulic Valves are 20% more expensive than their peers, its service life is twice that of their peers, but they don't place orders. Why?
There are only 2 reasons: first, he is not a customer of AAK. Second, customers do not trust AAK enough, or AAK does not deliver enough trust. So trust is very important for the first order customers.
Is it your customer? This is a very interesting topic. One third of the customers and you are predestined, trust each other, and work with him at the same frequency, and feel not tired; One third of the customers have no fate with you. No matter what you do, there will be no reply after you quoted the price; One third of the customers need to be won over and moved.
This is what I think and do in regards of trust.
First of all, learn to trust others, but also learn to be trusted. Those who can trust others are lucky mountains. You dare to trust others, which proves that you need the help of the other party, and it also proves that you are willing to give your back to the other party, not afraid of being stabbed by him.
Then, expose yourself in exchange for more cooperation. If you always guard against others, there is no possibility of cooperation. Trust others and give my back to them. If you rely on others, others also rely on you. And the person who can be trusted is a powerful sea.
Yes, the customer of AAK Hydraulic Valves is lucky mountain, and AAK is the strong sea of customers.
Finally, it is the transmission of trust. If others want to cooperate with you as soon as they see you, because you can help others. If I help more people, it will be my motivation and responsibility.
For AAK Hydraulic Valves, the customer is mountain, we are the sea.
The guard told me
on Monday that there was an international parcel in the office. From the shipment
airway bill, it was a sample of hydraulic valve block from an old American
customer Zero. I was a little puzzled. Zero only purchases hydraulic cartridge valves
from AAK. I didn't know why he sent me the hydraulic valve block sample until I
read all the emails today.
Zero introduced in
the email that he purchased this hydraulic valve block from a friend, the
quantity was not big, just 100 pieces. The hydraulic valve block was easy to
leak after being used for a period of time. He didn't know the source of the
leak and asked me to help have a check. After the pressure test and inspection,
our technician analyzed that the leakage was serious and the pressure could not
reach the pressure value of the system. I told Zero that the original
manufacturer of this hydraulic valve block judged that the hydraulic valve
block was qualified without strictly controlling the data in the pressure test
stage.
For this kind of
hydraulic valve block, AAK did this in the pressure test stage, and this method
has been used since 5 years ago. After the production of the hydraulic valve
block is completed, start the pressure test. First, adjust the throttle valve
opening on the hydraulic valve block to the maximum, and at the same time,
adjust the pressure valve adjusting spring to a very loose state, and then
gradually increase the pressure. When the pressure reaches the required test
pressure, our pressure holding time is 10min, while the pressure holding time
of most hydraulic valve block manufacturers is 3min. The problem is easy to be
exposed if the pressure is maintained for a long time. If there is leakage
during the pressure maintenance, the source can be traced, and special
treatment of sealing glue can be added at the joint surface. At the same time,
after the test is completed, adjust the relief valve on the hydraulic valve
block to the set pressure value required by the system to achieve the internal
pressure balance of the valve block system. Few manufacturers do this step.
Zero realized that
only AAK could ensure that there was no leakage in the hydraulic valve block,
so he asked me to arrange 100 hydraulic valve blocks on the production line in
a hurry. The pressure maintaining test is the key to check the leakage, but to
produce a leak-free hydraulic valve block, AAK do these in production: first,
select the appropriate processing material according to the working conditions
of the customer's hydraulic valve block, and ensure that the internal
organization of the processed valve block material is dense, without foreign
objects, sand holes and other defects. If necessary, flaw detection will be
carried out on the blank material. Secondly, the control of machining precision
is also very strict, and the machining of all threaded holes on the valve block
is guaranteed to be above 7H; In addition, the perpendicularity tolerance
between the screw hole of the installation pipe joint and its external mating
surface shall be at least Class 8.
For picky hydraulic
valve blocks, production is the core and detection is the key. AAK strictly
controls these 2 processes to ensure that the hydraulic valve block has no
leakage. There are not many manufacturers who can achieve these 2 details. It
is not that they don't want to do it, but that they don't have enough ability
to control the details.
AAK hydraulic valve
block, no leakage, welcome to try!
Logan,
a German hydraulic customer, left a message on AAK Hydraulic Valves website
some time ago: Are you able to process the hydraulic relief valve with deep
cavity and precision hole? After getting his hydraulic relief valve drawing, it
is indeed difficult to process. Logan told us that he had contacted more than
20 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, and all of them said that they were
not able to process the “very deep cavity and very small hole". Five days
passed, even the factory was still not determined. The boss was very
dissatisfied, and he couldn't sleep at night.
According
to his drawing requirements: the deep cavity of the hydraulic relief valve is Φ
16mm, the depth reaches 40mm, and the small hole in the deep cavity is Φ (0.5 ±
0.02) mm, and the top of the small hole is with a convex sealing surface, with
an outer circle Φ 1mm, the diameter of the small hole is 0.5mm, the depth is
5mm, and the coaxiality between the deep cavity small hole and the convex
sealing surface is required to be Φ 0.01mm, and the verticality between the
convex sealing surface and the deep cavity is required to be 0.01mm. I told him
that this processing must be completed by clamping at one time without any
deflection, otherwise the accuracy is difficult to meet the standard. The
headache is that the ratio of diameter to length of the small hole in the deep
cavity of this hydraulic relief valve is 1:10, which belongs to deep hole
processing, and the small hole is inside the deep cavity. For such a
complicated hydraulic relief valve that is extremely difficult to process, if AAK
can't handle it, it is not necessary to try any other hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers in Ningbo.
Logan
asked me how confident AAK was that the sample would be successful. When he
learned that AAK was only 80% sure, he considered for a long time, and finally
decided to have a try, paid the development fee, and confirmed the trial order.
AAK technical team discussed and simulated for 2 days, and determined the
scheme of optimizing processing technology. After 4 weeks, AAK sent 5 samples
of hydraulic relief valves. Two weeks later, Logan's email came with admiration
and thanks. He didn't expect that AAK sample was successful at one time. The
precision of the deep cavity and small hole of AAK hydraulic relief valve
samples reached the standard, and all the parameter requirements were
completely consistent with the drawing requirements.
Logan
is curious that all other hydraulic relief valve manufactures were not able to
try this order, how does AAK overcome the difficulty of the deep cavity and small
hole accuracy? According to the requirements of precision parameters of deep
cavity small holes in the drawing, AAK has made 3 optimization points in
processing technology:
1.
Design the clamping setting of drilling tools to increase the rigidity of the
drill bit.
2.
Improve the drilling tool. In order to ensure the surface roughness
requirements of deep cavity holes, after rough machining with twist drill,
finish machining with reamer.
3.
The design is equipped with a drill sleeve to realize manual feed drilling.
Mechanical feed cannot feedback the cutting force. By manual feed, the feed
rate can be effectively controlled to avoid drilling deviation and meet the
parameter requirements. Of course, most manufacturers cannot master the details
of this operation.
AAK
hydraulic relief valve has unique skills in processing deep cavity holes. You
are welcome to try the order!
AAK hydraulic pressure control valves with pressure
resistance above 450bar and high frequency use for more than 1 year without
wear. After a year of trial, Romero reordered 800 hydraulic pressure control
valves last week.
Romero is from a hydraulic equipment company in Spain, and he
is an old hand in purchasing hydraulic cartridge valves in China. At the
beginning of last year, their company tested a hydraulic crushing hammer, which
needed a hydraulic pressure control valve. After first round of factory
comparison, Romero selected one factory to test the hydraulic pressure control
valves. One month later, the hydraulic crushing hammer sample was successful.
However, after 3 months of trial use, their customer found that the impact
frequency decreased by more than 30%, which should be due to the insufficient
power supply caused by the leakage of the hydraulic pressure control valves.
After disassembly, it was found that there were obvious impact wear marks at
the valve sleeve.
According to the feedback of the original hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturer, the working pressure of the hydraulic crushing
hammer is more than 450bar. If the frequency of use is too high, wear is
inevitable, but the customer is not satisfied with the service life of the
crushing hammer, and the purchase can be made only after the warranty of more
than 1 year. The boss was unwilling to lose the order for the equipment that they
spent several months to develop. Romero was asked to look for hydraulic pressure
control valves with a warranty of more than 1 year and high pressure
resistance, but nothing was gained after 2 weeks. Romero felt a big pressure.
From the inquiry email he sent me, I can feel his
helplessness. The requirements of this hydraulic pressure control valve are
different from those of standard parts, especially in precision and durability,
but AAK is confident to make it successful. After 40 days, AAK sent 30 samples
of hydraulic pressure control valves. During this period, Romero just informed us
that he had received the samples, and there was no further news within 1 year.
Until last week, he suddenly placed the reorder, and in the email, he thanked AAK
for providing a hydraulic pressure control valve with 1 year warranty, so that
they won the order back, and there was no after-sales service needed within 1
year.
For the hydraulic pressure control valves that can withstand
450bar high pressure and has no worries for more than 1 year, in Ningbo
hydraulic cartridge valve industry, AAK has no competitors. We use 3 advantages
to be different from peers:
1. In terms
of materials, the valve body is made of SCM415 chromium molybdenum steel alloy
steel from Japan, and its process and mechanical properties are more than 70%
stronger than those of similar materials. After carburization and heat treatment,
the hardness is more than HRC64, and the wear resistance and strength are also
increased by more than 3 times, ensuring no wear for more than 1 year. However,
the processing of this material is difficult to control, which is also the
reason why peers do not choose this material.
2. In terms
of equipment, GILDEMEISTER turning milling complex machining center imported
from Germany is used to achieve efficient and accurate processing. At present,
most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers do not have such equipment.
3. In terms of detection, after the hydraulic pressure
control valves are assembled, they are tested with the high-pressure test bench
and durability test equipment independently developed by AAK, the pressure,
flow and fatigue resistance of the valves can not escape from the eyes of
Monkey King, ensuring 100% qualification.
AAK hydraulic pressure
control valves, careful material selection, fine machining, fine inspection,
you can also have a small try!
AAK hydraulic pressure control valves with pressure
resistance above 450bar and high frequency use for more than 1 year without
wear. After a year of trial, Romero reordered 800 hydraulic pressure control
valves last week.

AAK hydraulic pressure control valves, careful material
selection, fine machining, fine inspection, you can also have a small try!
At the beginning of June, Trinidad, a Spanish customer, emailed
us a re-order for 600 hydraulic pressure control valves, which has been repeated
for 5 consecutive times since the sample was successful in the second half of
last year. The high-frequency repeat orders also mean that their equipment
sales are booming. Since using AAK hydraulic pressure control valves with 1μm
accuracy tolerance and opening and closing property of 1 second, their
equipment sales increased by nearly 40% year-on-year. Trinidad, the purchasing
manager, was also promoted to director.
In the second half of last year, Trinidad was
anxious to purchase a batch of hydraulic pressure control valves for hydraulic
swing milling and riveting machines. Because the equipment had high
requirements for the accuracy and opening and closing of hydraulic pressure control
valves, Trinidad spent 2 weeks looking for more than 20 hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturers, and none of them was 100% sure to be successful.
Trinidad selected the 2 most suitable manufacturers to make samples. 45 days
later, although the trial run of the riveter was successful, the working
efficiency of the equipment was not high and the sales were not optimistic. Their
engineer said that to change this situation, they must adopt the hydraulic
pressure control valves with accuracy tolerance and opening and closing
property of 1 second. Trinidad had a big headache due to this purchase.
By chance, Trinidad got into touch with me through the
introduction of AAK's old customer Burgos. After discussing the drawings of his
hydraulic pressure control valve, our technical team basically already knew it.
After 30 days, 20 hydraulic pressure control valve samples were sent out. 2
weeks later, Trinidad informed that the working efficiency of the equipment was
at least 20% higher than before, and the accuracy tolerance of the hydraulic
pressure control valve was controlled within 1μm, the opening and closing
performance is less than 1 second, which is great.
As early as 5 years ago, AAK had Japanese ultra-high
precision machine tools for processing in the military industry, which were
operated by specially assigned personnel. There are no more than 3 hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers who have such machine tools in Ningbo. To make sure that the
accuracy tolerance of hydraulic pressure control valve is controlled within 1μm,
the opening and closing performance is less than 1 second, valve hole
processing is the core, and AAK has 3 advantages to guarantee it:
1. On the equipment, the machining accuracy of our
machine tools for components can reach 0.1-0.8μm. , the valve hole accuracy of
each hydraulic pressure control is the same, while the valve hole accuracy of
most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers can only reach 1-3μm at most. That
is, the machining accuracy of AAK is more than 10 times that of them.
2.
In
terms of process, it realizes the personalized customization of the valve hole accuracy
of the hydraulic pressure control valves, and 95% of domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers
just make the general size of the industry.
3.
In terms of
detection, the German Diatest small pore diameter high-precision measuring
instrument is used to accurately measure each hydraulic pressure control valve
hole, and the minimum measurement accuracy range can reach 0.1μm.
Some time ago, Trinidad privately
informed that their equipment sales were becoming, more and more popular, and
he was promoted to purchasing director.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valves,
accuracy tolerance 1μm. Opening and closing for 1 second, it is difficult to
find competitors in Ningbo, you can also have a small try.
For
hydraulic pilot operated relief valve with machining accuracy below 0.5μm, and test
accuracy 0.05% FSO BFSL, Renzo found AAK only. Renzo comes from an Italian
hydraulic equipment company and has been engaged in hydraulic cartridge valve
procurement for many years. At the beginning of last year, they developed a
high-end hydraulic injection molding machine, which requires a hydraulic pilot
operated relief valve. Renzo chose an old supplier to make samples, and the
machine test run was also successful. The equipment began to be put into
production, but 3 months after sales, a customer complained that the
positioning of the injection molding machine was inaccurate, resulting in
product deformation. After troubleshooting, it was found that the flow of the hydraulic
pilot operated relief valve was unstable.
According
to the feedback of the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer, the accuracy
of this hydraulic pilot operated relief valve requires to be within 1μm, it is
difficult to guarantee this accuracy on each valve, and it can be replaced for free.
However, there are more and more similar complaints later, and the second batch
of injection molding machines will also be put into production. The boss was
very angry and asked Renzo to solve it at one time and find a hydraulic relief
valve manufacturer with stable quality. Renzo contacted more than 10 hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers, but most of them were not able to achieve the
accuracy within 1μm, Renzo was very anxious.
Renzo
began to source new hydraulic relief valve manufacturers online, and found AAK Hydraulic
Valves on Google. He requested that the machining accuracy of each hydraulic
pilot operated relief valve needs to be within 1μm. I replied to him that
unless accidental, the machining accuracy of AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve can be within 0.5μm, Renzo was relieved. One month later, AAK delivered the
first batch of quantity. Three months later, Renzo emailed that with AAK hydraulic
pilot operated relief valves, there was no customer complaint that the
positioning of the injection molding machine was inaccurate during operation,
and the processing accuracy was all within 0.5μm. The next day, his placed the
order for the second batch of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves.
AAK
can produce the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves that can be 100%
qualified, and the machining accuracy is within 0.5μm, it is mainly because
that we control both the processing and testing strictly, and the domestic hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers generally cannot control the details of the
process.
AAK
uses American Hardinge ultra-high precision machine tool to produce this
hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, and the machining accuracy can reach
0.1-0.5μm, ensuring that the valve hole accuracy of each hydraulic relief valve
is consistent. After processing, each hydraulic relief valve is tested. The
pressure test bench is equipped with BD SENSORS pressure sensor imported from
Germany, which has strong overpressure resistance. The range can reach 0 to
2200bar, and the test accuracy is 0.05% FSO BFSL. It is equipped with pressure
measuring equipment with digital display and power-saving output. During the
test, technicians can clearly see the test data, which is easy to operate, easy
to track, and no oversight.
AAK
hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, each product makes you feel at ease,
welcome to have a small try!
The more complex the oil passage of the hydraulic valve block is, the more difficult it is to remove the burr. If the burr is not completely removed, either the hydraulic valve block is scrapped or the whole hydraulic system is paralyzed. AAK is not only 50% more efficient than its peers in processing high-precision and difficult hydraulic valve blocks, but also 100% burr free.
Liam, from Canada, sold a batch of hydraulic shield machines. Because of the burr remained in the hydraulic valve block, it was needed to replace the hydraulic relief valves at a high frequency, which affected the construction. The customer directly complained to the boss and asked the problem to be solved completely within a month, otherwise he would need to charge for the loss of working time. The manufacturer said that because the oil circuit of the hydraulic valve block is complex, it is difficult to ensure 100% burr free. Liam had to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks. He kept sourcing for 5 days, but no factory was unwilling to complete the production of 20 hydraulic valve blocks with 100% burr free in 25 days. Liam had a big headache.
Liam got into touch with me directly under the introduction of his friend, and explained the above difficulties he encountered. According to his hydraulic valve block drawing, just from the perspective of processing, it is not difficult, but the burr removal of some holes needs unique skills, which is the reason why other manufacturers are unwilling to produce. After 20 days, 20 hydraulic valve blocks were produced at AAK, and they were finished in 20 days from drawing to shipping.
Three months later, Liam sent an email to say thanks to AAK. The hydraulic shield machine equipped with AAK hydraulic valve blocks, has been very smooth in construction, and no burrs were found. Liam was surprised how AAK completed the hydraulic valve blocks with complex oil circuit free of burr in such a short time? AAK finished the production of hydraulic valve block efficiently, and it is 100% burr free, lies in the following 3 unique skills:
1. In terms of equipment, the German HECHERT 630 horizontal machining center has 12000 spindles, 60 HSK100 high-speed tools, an XYZ travel of 1050-900-800, a moving speed of 65M, and a tool change time of only 1S. Combined with the Siemens 840D operating system, the machining accuracy can be guaranteed, and the machining efficiency is more than twice that of most machining centers.
2. Technically, AAK adopt the intelligent grinding to replace the traditional abrasive flow deburring technology. During grinding, the main shaft of the equipment can swing 360 ° at will, and there is no dead angle during grinding. No matter the surface of the hydraulic valve body, or the inner hole, cross hole, blind hole of the hydraulic valve block, as well as the end face and inner and outer contour of the orifice, the burrs can be completely removed.
3. In terms of detection, the German Karlstorz industrial endoscope is used. The probe can be bent and rotated, and detect the oil passage of the hydraulic valve block for 360 ° without dead angle, to ensure that the hydraulic valve block is free of burrs before shipment.
Last week, Liam sent us an inquiry for another hydraulic valve block. He told me privately that the boss now pays more and more attention to him, and gives him more and more business to handle.
AAK hydraulic valve blocks, high efficiency, high accuracy, no burrs, you can give it a small try.
What is the value of hydraulic valve manufacturers? How should I view the business of my company?
The starting point of all businesses is to benefit users. To benefit users is to provide "value" and "benefits" to users. When our R & D department wants to develop a new hydraulic valve, I ask them to know what function is very important, but also to figure out what users want, and creatively meet their needs.
The core responsibility of the operator of the hydraulic valve manufacturer is to seek the potential. Potential energy is to find the enhanced circuit of enterprises and businesses and make the flywheel rotate. How do I find the enhancement circuit of AAK Hydraulic Valves?
As an operator of hydraulic valve manufacturers, the most important core for me is reputation. But what is driving the improvement of "reputation"? Daily articles about the difficult and miscellaneous problems of hydraulic valves, such as how to help customers solve the problems that peers can't solve. So, what is driving the emergence of articles? Professional skills, on paper, will only be laughed at. It must sink into research and development, innovation, production, materials, equipment, technology, to analyze specific situations and solve specific problems, so as to be professional. However, what is promoting the accumulation of "professional skills"? Reputation. Only with an excellent reputation, can there be many high-quality hydraulic valve customers, allowing you to accompany, so that you can gain a lot of knowledge and practice. Did you find it? "Reputation - (+) > professional skills - (+) > Article - (+) > reputation", an enhancement loop, surfaced.
When I draw my flywheel, I am a very clear standard in my heart. I decided not to do anything other than pushing the flywheel. As long as it's not pushing the flywheel, don't do it. Once, an old customer introduced me to an Indian customer who can purchase 1,800 hydraulic valves every month. I was very moved, but I declined this Indian customer. Because the hydraulic valves he needs to purchase are very common market goods, and most hydraulic valve manufacturers can do it well. Helping him solve the supply of hydraulic valves may not help me improve my reputation. In terms of customers, we are the supplier of HydraForce for 9 consecutive years, which has improved my reputation. This is on my flywheel.
The essence of business is transaction, and in the transaction, you can only exchange something with the value you provide. For example, if you offer something worth 100 yuan, theoretically you can only get back 100 yuan. If you occasionally get more money than the value you offer, it will be taken away one day. Any transaction is not just completed one time.
Hydraulic valve trading is also to exchange commodities for money. The manufacturer takes the hydraulic valve, the customer takes the money, and we will exchange it. However, I think there is a more advanced transaction before this transaction. This transaction is not to exchange goods for money, but to exchange content for time. For example, I wrote an article on hydraulic valves, and then you spent some time here because you were attracted by the content of AAK Hydraulic Valves. The transaction of exchanging goods for money actually takes place in time. For example, you take time to watch my short video, in which I introduced a hydraulic valve, and then you came to inquire.
The first transaction is actually the soil of the second transaction. Only when it occupies the customer's mind or time first, it is possible to trade goods with him. However, the vast majority of hydraulic valve manufacturers only pay attention to the second transaction and look everywhere for the transaction of commodity for money. AAK Hydraulic Valves constantly release content, so that more customer cases can help those customers who have suffered losses in purchasing hydraulic valves, so as to consolidate the trust of AAK.
AAK Hydraulic Valves, only for reputation.
Fabian
from the Netherlands left a message on AAK website last month: what is the
reason for the hydraulic direction control valves stuck? In general, the processing
roughness of valve spool and valve hole is poor, or it is caused by radial
unbalanced hydraulic pressure caused by inconsistent coaxiality. AAK adopts
mirror grinding for the finishing of valve spool and valve hole, and the
surface roughness can reach AO=Ra0.08μm, which is more than 10 times that of
its peers.
According
to Fabian, in the second half of last year, the hydraulic directional control
valves of the trial order got stuck, which made them very anxious. Thia
hydraulic directional control valve is used on the hydraulic power unit. After
the equipment is commissioned and operated continuously for 48 hours, the
pressure supply of the equipment is abnormal. The engineer disassembled and
found that the contact surface between the valve spool and the valve hole of
the hydraulic directional control valve is too rough, so the hydraulic
directional control valve needs to be replaced, and the surface roughness is
required to reach AO=Ra0.5μm or below. The original manufacturer fed back that
the roughness of valve spool and valve hole Ra1.0μm was their limit. Fabian was
very depressed and had to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic directional
control valve. Fabian contacted more than 10 factories, and none of them
confirmed that the RA of the contact surface between the spool and the valve
hole of the hydraulic direction control valve can be controlled at 0.5μm. They
also told that it was not necessary to control the Ra value when it was stuck,
and Fabian would have no direction. He found AAK Hydraulic Valves and left a
message to ask the reason why the hydraulic directional control valve was
stuck.
According
to Fabian's description and the drawing of this hydraulic directional control
valve, I think their engineers' new requirements for Ra value are reasonable. AAK
is able to control Ra value well. We recommended that Fabian directly test the
order. If our Ra value does not meet the standard or the hydraulic directional
control valve is stuck, we can refund it in full.
After
35 days, AAK sent 10 samples of hydraulic directional control valves. Two weeks
later, Fabian informed by email that no abnormality was found during the
commissioning of the AAK hydraulic directional control valves. Their engineers
specially detected the Ra value of the contact surface between the valve spool
and the valve hole, and were surprised that it is Ra0.08μm, which is more than
10 times more accurate than that of peers, and more than 6 times what they
require.
The
surface finish of the valve spool and valve hole directly determines the
flexibility of the hydraulic direction control valve, and most hydraulic valve
manufacturers tend to ignore this small detail in the processing process. AAK
hydraulic direction control valve spool and valve hole are precision machined
with the NP520X-F full-automatic universal grinder of Japan's Long Island Precision
grinding machine, which can achieve μ level feed mirror grinding, the surface
of the machined valve spool is like a mirror.
AAK hydraulic directional control
valves, no jamming, you can also have a small try!
Palencia is
from Spain and has little cooperation with AAK. Some time ago, he emailed us to
discuss about the blind hole of hydraulic valve blocks. After several rounds of
email communication, it was learned that in the second half of last year,
Palencia tried samples with more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers because
the blind hole quality of the hydraulic valve block was not up to standard. The
samples of the hydraulic valve blocks either had a bell mouth in the blind
hole, or the surface roughness of the hole wall was not up to standard. It
wasted him 4 weeks before and after, moreover, the development fees paid were
not refund, which made him very depressed.
According to
the drawing of hydraulic valve block provided by Palencia, the processing
difficulties are mainly concentrated in the blind hole. The processing hole
diameter of this hydraulic valve block is small, and the depth is more than
40mm. Only the cutter bar with slender shaft can be used, but the cutter can
not all pass through the hole, resulting in easy deformation of the inner hole
diameter and axial taper and ovality. In this way, the bell mouth is easy to
appear at the hole depth of 10 ~ 20mm, and the surface roughness of the hole
wall can not be guaranteed, too. AAK innovated the technology 3 years ago for
the difficulties of blind hole processing of hydraulic valve blocks. I directly
replied to Palencia that this is a difficult processing, but it is not
difficult for AAK. You can directly test the order. If our goods does not meet
the requirements of the drawings, the development fee can be refund.
4 weeks later,
AAK sent 5 samples of hydraulic valve blocks. 2 months later, Palencia placed
the annual order of 600 hydraulic valve blocks, with goods shipped every 2
months. Their engineers were surprised why AAK succeeded in making samples at
one time, while all other hydraulic valve manufacturers failed previously?
For the
processing of small and deep blind holes in the hydraulic valve blocks, most hydraulic
valve manufacturers cannot meet the high-precision requirements, while AAK has
a high-precision CNC processing center imported from Switzerland, and adopts
the technology of extruding holes with a patented bladed extruding knife
independently developed by AAK. And this processing method has 3 advantages.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers are difficult to master this technical
detail in operation, but AAK mastered it 3 years ago.
1. The blind hole of the hydraulic valve block adopts a
bladed extruding knife. Through longitudinal feeding, a moderate extruding
force is applied to the workpiece surface, and then through the rotation of the
knife or workpiece, the height difference between the crest and trough of the
knife mark is reduced, and the surface roughness is optimized.
2. During the processing, the hole surface produces
slight cold work hardening, which improves the physical properties of the blind
hole surface and improves the hardness and wear resistance of the blind hole
surface.
3. After machining, the roughness of the hole can reach
Ra value of 0.8 ~ 0.4μm. The ovality circle error is 0.01 ~ 0.02mm, the taper
error is 0.01 ~ 0.025mm, and the dimensional accuracy of the hole can be
controlled within 0.01mm.
AAK hydraulic
valve blocks, blind hole processing with unique skills, and also with 3 types
of pressure test standards to guarantee quality, you can also have a small try!
Kuplin is from a Russian hydraulic
equipment manufacturing company, he has purchased hydraulic valve blocks from China
for a long time, which is also relatively smooth. However, a hydraulic valve
block he purchased at the end of last year put him into a hard situation.
A batch of hydraulic climbing cars
sold by their company were complained by customers. During the routine
maintenance of the hydraulic system, several cartridge valves on several
equipment cannot be taken down, the nose end is stuck in the socket of the
hydraulic valve blocks, and there is a small amount of leakage around the socket.
The hydraulic valve block manufacturer replied that when processing the
hydraulic valve blocks, the technician processed the nose end of the socket
into a conical surface, which made it easy to install and difficult to take
down, and also affected the seal, resulting in a small amount of leakage. The hydraulic
valve block can be replaced free of charge, but no one will bear the loss of
those hydraulic cartridge valves that cannot be disassembled. After the boss
learned that, he asked Kuplin to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic valve
blocks. Kuplin contacted more than 10 new factories and required that there was
no abnormality in the processing of valve holes of each hydraulic valve block.
After a round, he did not find any suitable supplier of hydraulic valve blocks.
Kuplin began to worry.
By chance, Kuplin met his old friend
Petrov and learned about AAK's ability to process hydraulic valve blocks during
the communicating with each other. After several communications with him, AAK
started to make samples directly. 1 month later, AAK sent the hydraulic valve
blocks. Petrov informed by email that their engineer specially inspected each
valve hole, and the tolerance was controlled 100% without deviation. He wanted
to know how AAK achieved it?
AAK hydraulic valve block has no
deviation from the processing of the installation socket, is due to 3 strict points:
1.
For tool inspection, it is in the charge of a specially assigned person, who
regularly inspects each tool equipped in each machining center to confirm
whether there are cuts or cracks on the leading edge of the tool, so as to
avoid the problem of machining finish caused by tool wear or damage.
2.
Clean the cutter. AAK uses a diamond file to remove the debris of the cutter
material and ensure that the positioning shoulder on the reamer remains sharp.
AAK will check the size of the ground tool based on the tool positioning
shoulder to ensure that the depth and diameter meet the processing
requirements.
3.
After machining, use diameter gauge and thread gauge to check the dimensional
accuracy according to the requirements of the socket drawing, and carry out the
final socket dimensional check. Especially, the nose part of the cartridge
valve socket will be measured from the front end of the nose to the supporting
end of the nose, so as to ensure that there is no cone at the nose.
AAK
hydraulic valve block is easy to install and take down without deviation, and 100%
free of burrs. You are welcome to have a try!
Achilleus is from Greece. In the
second half of last year, a high-pressure hydraulic winch sold by his company
for less than 3 months, was unable to rise and fell suddenly during
construction, which almost caused a safety accident. The on-site investigation
found that an oil pipe in the hydraulic system was broken and leaked oil. After
the oil pipe was replaced, the equipment was restored. But 2 months later,
similar problems repeated. The customer couldn't stand this series of problems
and complained to the boss. The boss was angry and asked the technical team to
solve it completely within 1 month. Achilleus also felt the pressure of the
boss and contacted several factories to inquire, but there was no result.
Achilleus saw AAK on Google and
sent an email asking with a try attitude, and attached the hydraulic schematic
diagram. After analysis, AAK engineers found that the probable reason was that
the oil pipe burst was caused by the energy conflict between the hydraulic counterbalance
valves in the system and the flow control of the system. We informed Achilleus
of the analysis results the next day and recommended that AAK make the samples
directly. We will redesign the hydraulic counterbalance valve according to the
energy principle of the hydraulic system. 3 days later, Achilleus placed the
sample order for 10 hydraulic counterbalance valves and also paid the development
cost. After 45 days, AAK sent the samples.
Last week, Achilleus sent an
email to express his thanks. After using the hydraulic counterbalance valves
redesigned by AAK, the hydraulic winch has been running stably for half a year,
and the customer is also very satisfied. The boss praised him, too. Their
engineers admire the design ability of AAK and suggest Achilleus to take AAK as
the preferred supplier of hydraulic counterbalance valves.
AAK unique designed hydraulic counterbalance
valves, with triple safety protection, customers no longer worry about the burst
of the oil pipeline of the hydraulic system.
1. AAK changed the flow control
groove of the hydraulic counterbalance valve, and redesigned small flow control
groove. The maximum working pressure can reach 420bar, realizing zero leakage
load maintenance. Even if the oil pipeline bursts, the load will not be out of
control.
2. The working mode of the
hydraulic counterbalance valve designed by AAK is similar to a two position
flow controller with compensation, which can realize the curve of different
forms of flow decreasing with the increase of load pressure, so that the
control tank with small flow can realize the optimization of control.
3. According to the
characteristics of this winch hydraulic system, the hydraulic counterbalance
valve designed by AAK has different damping combination configurations, so as
to ensure the stability of the winch hydraulic system.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance
valves, unique design, welcome to have a try!

diagram. After analysis, AAK engineers found that the probable reason was that
the oil pipe burst was caused by the energy conflict between the hydraulic counterbalance
valves in the system and the flow control of the system. We informed Achilleus
of the analysis results the next day and recommended that AAK make the samples
directly. We will redesign the hydraulic counterbalance valve according to the
energy principle of the hydraulic system. 3 days later, Achilleus placed the
sample order for 10 hydraulic counterbalance valves and also paid the development
cost. After 45 days, AAK sent the samples.
Last week, Achilleus sent an
email to express his thanks. After using the hydraulic counterbalance valves
redesigned by AAK, the hydraulic winch has been running stably for half a year,
and the customer is also very satisfied. The boss praised him, too. Their
engineers admire the design ability of AAK and suggest Achilleus to take AAK as
the preferred supplier of hydraulic counterbalance valves.
AAK unique designed hydraulic counterbalance
valves, with triple safety protection, customers no longer worry about the burst
of the oil pipeline of the hydraulic system.
1. AAK changed the flow control
groove of the hydraulic counterbalance valve, and redesigned small flow control
groove. The maximum working pressure can reach 420bar, realizing zero leakage
load maintenance. Even if the oil pipeline bursts, the load will not be out of
control.
2. The working mode of the
hydraulic counterbalance valve designed by AAK is similar to a two position
flow controller with compensation, which can realize the curve of different
forms of flow decreasing with the increase of load pressure, so that the
control tank with small flow can realize the optimization of control.
3. According to the
characteristics of this winch hydraulic system, the hydraulic counterbalance
valve designed by AAK has different damping combination configurations, so as
to ensure the stability of the winch hydraulic system.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance
valves, unique design, welcome to have a try!
Miguel
is from a hydraulic equipment company in Brazil. He began to purchase hydraulic
components in China 3 years ago, and it was successful. At the beginning of
last year, the hydraulic flow control valves he purchased encountered problem
and almost suffered a claim. Since using AAK hydraulic flow control valves to
replace, he knows that there are also hydraulic valve manufacturers in China
that have benchmarked the quality of German manufacturers.
Miguel company sold a hydraulic unit, which was used
in wind power generation equipment near the sea. Half a year later, the
customer complained that the valve body of the hydraulic flow control valve was
seriously corroded and stuck, leading to the strike of the wind turbine
generator. According to the factory feedback of the original hydraulic flow
control valves, the corrosion of the valve body is caused by the objective
marine climate, the hydraulic flow control valves can only be replaced. Miguel
realized that replacing it within 6 months was not only expensive for after-sales,
but also not necessarily acceptable to the customer. He purchased the hydraulic
flow control valves from Germany to replace it. At the same time, he asked some
new hydraulic valve manufacturers to make samples and required that the
hydraulic flow control valves to be guaranteed for 12 months or more in the
corrosive environment near the sea. Most manufacturers gave up, and only two
were willing to test samples, including AAK.
After 40
days, AAK shipped the trial order of 30 hydraulic flow control valves. There
has been no email from Miguel since the trial order was delivered. 15 months
later, that is, last week, Miguel suddenly emailed us to purchase 800 hydraulic
flow control valves. After communication, we learned that they were very
satisfied with AAK hydraulic flow control valve samples delivered 1 year ago.
The samples from another factory were corroded in 10 months, while AAK’s were
still fine after 15 months. This service life was benchmarked to the hydraulic
flow control valves purchased from German manufacturers, but the price of AAK
was 30% cheaper, so they directly placed a big order.
AAK
hydraulic flow control valves can be used in highly corrosive marine
environment for 15 months without damage. The key lies in 3 points, which most
domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers cannot do:
1. In terms of material, 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot working die steel is selected for the valve body, and its mechanical
stress is optimized by at least 50% compared with other steels. After personalized
heat treatment, the hardness, strength and corrosion resistance of the material
are more than doubled.
2. In terms of surface treatment, zinc nickel alloy
coating is adopted, and the corrosion resistance of the valve body is improved
again. Its corrosion resistance is more than 10 times higher than that of
ordinary zinc plating and nickel plating processes, which can ensure that there
is no red rust after neutral salt spray test for more than 1500 hours.
3. In terms of detection, AAK has SH-90
salt spray testing machine, which tests the valve body according to the GB/T2423.17
test standard to ensure that any surface of the valve body meets the salt spray
test standard.
AAK
hydraulic flow control valves are safe to use near the sea, and durable under
high pressure and high frequency use. You can also have a small try!
Tim, from the United States, is a hydraulic valve customer that AAK has cooperated with for 5 years. They mainly sell logistics transmission equipment. On Monday, his sales manager sent me an email. It was the first time I received an email from their sales department. Subject of the email: how to do the promotion content?
He said that he was surprised to see that AAK has posted the content of hydraulic valves every day. They have more than 100 hydraulic valve suppliers, and none of them can update the promotion content every day. This requires not only time, patience, but also professionalism. I told him that AAK hydraulic valves do it from 3 points:
First, try to update every day
This is a kind of determination and professionalism. Some people say that I can write my article today and shoot the video tomorrow if I want, OK? If it's personal preference, of course. But if it's a job, or even a career, it's best not to do so randomly. Look at those big online bloggers. None of them dare to stop. Because once it stops, the users may leave. Posting content and ensuring the frequency of updates also provide a kind of certainty. Using daily updates to exchange the cognition and habits of hydraulic valve users and convey a kind of value.
Second, ensure high quality
Because in the era of Internet, there is too much information and too miscellaneous content to see, and users will forget your content 7 days later. But this should not be an excuse to make bad content. On the contrary, only high-quality content can gain the trust of hydraulic valve users. Users will be impressed. It turns out that this hydraulic valve manufacturer is like this, so I'll continue to have a look. In this way, he is willing to give you time extravagantly. Therefore, in order to improve the content of hydraulic valves, we must constantly improve ourselves. The content, to some extent, is to attack mosquitoes with cannon. Only in this way can high-quality hydraulic valve content be guaranteed.
Third, the spirit of long-termism
This point is easy to understand. Be a friend of time. Sometimes it is not time that abandons us, but we abandon time. Anyone who has done content knows that this is a craft that needs to be practiced slowly. It also needs mental strength, which needs to be grinded slowly. No matter how the platform changes, it doesn't matter. Because all changes ultimately encourage those who are willing to do content for a long time. If there is a long-term spirit, all changes will be good.
AAK hydraulic valves content, in giving customers value, I also keep thinking. I don't know if what I think is right, but I vaguely feel that maybe it is. On the surface, we provide these 3 values:
First, professional knowledge. Every article is delivered to readers with knowledge value. This knowledge should be professional, insightful and able to solve problems.
Second, credit. Because of the influence of AAK hydraulic valves on the Internet, we have corresponding credit. When we say that the hydraulic valve is good, the management mode and the equipment are good, we are endorsing with credit.
Third, transmission. Expect to let more people see the pain points and chaos of the hydraulic valve industry, so that people who need hydraulic valves do not take detours.
I often say to my colleagues that if we only think about this, maybe we can't do better. Don't others have these 3 values? Other hydraulic valve manufacturers may also provide them and better than ours. So, what is it that others can't learn and can't copy? Maybe it's our ability to see things clearly, speak clearly and speak in vernacular. In fact, most people are doing complex work, and we all hope that professionals can "speak human words", but in reality, it is difficult to summarize a sentence in a simple sentence. Experts' conventional expression: 871 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams of dried squid. Then I'll translate it into colloquialism: one bite of squid is equal to 20 bites of fat meat. I think, for people who lose weight, after listening to the experts' words, maybe they can't help eating squid, but seeing my vernacular, maybe they put it down silently.
Finally, less than 1% of hydraulic valve manufacturers can achieve daily updates.
AAK hydraulic valves, with 100% persistence to do 1% of things, the right way, never afraid of far away.
Last
week, the Spanish customer Salvador sent an inquiry for a hydraulic valve
block, which was the inquiry for the 4th time, and the inquiries in the first 3
times have already been placed orders for. Salvador has been engaged in the
purchase of hydraulic valve blocks for many years, and it has been successful.
In
March this year, they developed a large multi cylinder hydraulic cone crusher,
which requires a hydraulic valve block weighing 1.5 tons. Salvador found a factory
in the United States to make samples, and the equipment was successfully
tested. 2 months after the promotion, there was a customer's reservation, but
the price needed to be reduced by 15%. After costing, the boss asked to reduce
the cost of the hydraulic valve block by 10%. Salvador contacted the
manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks in the United States, but the manufacturer
refused to reduce the price. The boss asked Salvador to find a new
manufacturer.
Salvador contacted the all their
current suppliers of the hydraulic components. None of them were able to
produce the hydraulic valve blocks weighing 1.5 tons, unless to find a
professional oil circuit block manufacturer. Salvador found AAK in Google and
sent an email inquiry with a try attitude. I replied to him that AAK has not
processed the hydraulic valve blocks of more than 1 ton, but AAK is capable of
processing this hydraulic valve block, and the accuracy of the valve hole
absolutely meets the IT7-8 standard, and the roughness can reach Ra0.2-0.4.
After receiving the quotation from
our cost accounting department, Salvador was a little surprised. After
confirming that it was correct, he immediately placed order for 5 hydraulic
valve blocks and paid the development cost. After 25 days, AAK delivered 5
hydraulic valve blocks. 2 weeks later, Salvador informed by email that the hole
accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve block absolutely met the IT7-8 standard, and
the roughness could reach Ra0.2-0.4. After it replaced the hydraulic valve
blocks of the original American manufacturer, the equipment still operated
normally. His boss was very happy to find a hydraulic valve block supplier benchmarking
the American manufacturer, and the price was 30% lower.
AAK
owns the full hydrostatic heavy 5 axis gantry machining center of INNSE
Berardi, Italy. The column moves and the hydrostatic guide rail is preloaded.
It is suitable for processing large hydraulic valve blocks with guaranteed
accuracy. The machine tool can be equipped with a fixed or working beam
(W-axis), and the special detection device can compensate the thermal drift, so
that the tool can have high operation accuracy. The coordinate axis runs on the
preloaded hydrostatic guide rail to ensure maximum rigidity and balance of
operation.
AAK
hydraulic valve blocks, 5 axis gantry machining center, welcome to have a try!
James,
a Brazilian customer, was in urgent need of purchasing 200 hydraulic relief
valves within 30 days some time ago. The hydraulic valve manufacturer he chose
to cooperate with got stuck in the hydraulic relief valve sample stage. The
first time to send samples, the time was delayed by 10 days, and the hydraulic relief
valve hole was also seriously deformed. The manufacturer said that the current processing
of this valve hole was their limit, and asked James to contact other hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers to take samples. James was speechless, and time
was wasted. He consulted more than 10 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers and was
advised that they were not able to meet the valve hole requirements, which made
James a headache.
James
contacted his German friend Logan and hoped to get his help. Coincidentally,
Logan is our customer for several years. He recommended AAK to James. When I
received the hydraulic relief valve drawing sent by James and learned that he
had no factory to cooperate with to make samples, I felt that it was a hot
potato. After the discussion of AAK technical team, I told him that AAK has
unique skills to solve the deformation of the hydraulic relief valve hole, but
the production time will be at least 22 days. James had no choice but to wait
patiently for the hydraulic relief valve sample of AAK.
The
processing of this hydraulic relief valve is still a little challenging for us.
After the first sample is completed and assembled, the hydraulic relief valve
hole also shows deformation under the influence of assembly force. When the
assembly tightening torque is 90N·m*, the valve hole deformation reaches
0.013~0.015mm. In view of this data comparison, we will know how to improve.
After 4 days, AAK sent 5 samples of hydraulic relief valves. On the second day
after receiving the sample, James informed that the valve hole was not deformed
and that mass production could be started. 2 weeks later, 200 hydraulic relief
valves were shipped on time.
AAK
can effectively solve the deformation of the valve hole of the hydraulic relief
valve because as early as 3 years ago, we explored a set of effective
processing procedures: pre assemble the valve body first, and then place it for
2-3 days. Before honing, rough ream it with a diamond reamer, correct the
roundness deviation of the valve hole caused by assembly preload and creep, and
then honing. The core of this technical point is honing, most hydraulic relief
valve manufacturers are stuck here. Not only to ensure the honing effect and
honing efficiency, but also to reduce the impact of creep on the accuracy of
the valve hole. Honing is not only a good honing equipment support, a good
technician, but also a unique skill.
AAK
hydraulic relief valves, the valve hole does not deform, and are excellently
processed and tested, you can also have a small try.
At the beginning of this year, Timoteo emailed
us to asked about the production time for
600 hydraulic relief valves, and it required that the quality and parameters should
be same as those of the previous samples, especially that the valve hole
accuracy must be 100% within 2μm. Timoteo is from Italy and has been
cooperating with AAK for more than 1 year. After communication, we learned that
the price of this hydraulic relief valve that was previously tested in AAK was
20% higher than that of another hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer, so they
did not purchase the larger quantity from AAK. However, the hydraulic relief
valves purchased from another manufacturer have been complained by customers
one after another. These hydraulic relief valves were used in shield machine.
The valve hole accuracy of some of these hydraulic relief valves is over 2μm
and caused equipment failure due to leakage.
Per the original manufacturer, this
hydraulic relief valve has a very high accuracy requirement. It is not avoidable
that a little proportion of the goods does not meet the accuracy standard, they
can be replaced free of charge. But after more than half a year, the
high-frequency replacement makes the customer unhappy. His boss asked Timoteo
to replace the hydraulic relief valve supplier immediately, and the valve hole
accuracy must be 100% within 2μm. Timoteo can only contact AAK, because during
the testing stage, the valve hole accuracy of AAK hydraulic relief valves were
all within 2μm. Timoteo also frankly told us that he should not have determined
the hydraulic relief valve supplier blindly based on price only.
After 30 days, AAK shipped 600 hydraulic
relief valves. Until today, Timoteo emailed us that AAK hydraulic relief valves
have been installed on the equipment for more than half a year, and no customer
has complained. The boss is very satisfied. I told him that as long as they are
used properly, there should be no leakage in another year, because the hole accuracy
of AAK hydraulic relief valves is 100% within 2μm.
Among so many hydraulic valve
manufacturers, why only AAK can achieve 100% accuracy guaranteed hydraulic
relief valves? For the quality control of hydraulic relief valves, AAK has 3
advantages, and I believe most hydraulic valve factories do not have these 3
characteristics of AAK.
1、The valve hole of AAK
hydraulic relief valve is precision machined with TAMIX one-time tool walking
high-speed ultra precision honing mill imported from Japan, which is thoroughly
ground without trace. In mass production, the wear-resistant SPA cutter
effectively ensures the stability of processing, and the accuracy of valve hole
is guaranteed to be within 1-2μm, the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2-0.3.
2、After the
valve hole processing is completed, AAK inspectors use the Diatest small
micropore diameter high-precision measuring instrument imported from Germany to
accurately measure each hydraulic relief valve hole, and the minimum
measurement accuracy range can reach 0.1μm, so as to ensure that the accuracy
of each valve meets the standard.
3、AAK has independently developed hydraulic relief valve durability
test equipment, which can fully carry out fatigue test on valves according to
customer specified requirements in combination with NFPA/T2.6.1 standards. Each
valve must be inspected to ensure that each hydraulic relief valve is qualified
before shipment.
AAK hydraulic relief valves, the accuracy meets the
requirements 100%, High Accuracy and Stability, you can also have a small try!
Last Friday, we received an annual
order of 3,600 hydraulic needle valves from Paschalis, probably the new
large-scale combine harvester of their company won a large order at the
exhibition. Paschalis is from Greece and has been cooperating with AAK for 5
years. At the beginning of this year, the newly developed harvester of their
company plans to appear at the agricultural machinery exhibition. In order to
shorten the development time, they asked a local hydraulic needle valve
manufacturer to make samples. The test run was not smooth, and the flow of the
hydraulic system is unstable, resulting in the low accuracy of the equipment
action. Their engineer judged that the processing accuracy of the orifice diameter
of the hydraulic needle valves did not meet the standard. The hydraulic needle
valve manufacturer replied that this is a large flow hydraulic needle valve,
and the orifice is also a large aperture, which is difficult to process. At
present, the equipment can only guarantee the accuracy like the sample.
Paschalis had to find a new
supplier of hydraulic needle valves. And contacted more than 10 local manufacturers.
Most of them said that they are not able to make the hydraulic needle valves
with this kind of large aperture and accuracy below 1.0μm. Only one manufacturer
can guarantee it, but it takes 3 months to develop, and will miss the exhibition.
The engineer has pushed for the progress for several times, but Paschalis has
not determined the manufacturer yet, so he is in a hurry.
His supervisor reminded him that
purchasing hydraulic needle valves from overseas may be faster and more awesome
than domestic manufacturers. At this moment, Paschalis thought of AAK, and
immediately sent an email for inquiry, with the hydraulic needle valve drawing
attached, specifically stating that this hydraulic needle valve has a large
aperture, but the accuracy needs to be within 1.0μm. Moreover, only 1 month can
be given for development. After discussion, our technical team replied that the
samples would be sent within 30 days. 2 weeks after the samples were sent, Paschalis
emailed us that their test run was very smooth, and their engineers also
specially tested the large aperture of AAK hydraulic needle valves, all with an
accuracy below 1.0μm. Next, they can rest assured to hype it up at the exhibition,
and AAK can wait for the annual large order of the hydraulic needle valves.
In recent years, some customers of AAK
have higher and higher requirements for the accuracy of the large flow
hydraulic needle valves with large aperture. Our machining equipment, especially
honing equipment, also keeps pace with the times. At present, RS series single
stroke sequential honing machine imported from Switzerland adopts the casting
structure of base, column and headstock, with stable accuracy; Each spindle is
equipped with a separate servo motor, which can feed back torque in real time;
The maximum honing diameter can reach 50mm and 80mm, the maximum honing depth
can reach 150mm, the stroke speed is 20m/min, and the machining accuracy is as
high as 0.5-0.8μm. It is especially suitable for processing the large orifice
of large flow and high-precision hydraulic needle valves.
AAK hydraulic needle
valve has defeated Greek hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers with accuracy.
You can also have a small try!
In March this year, Danielisadora, a Brazilian
customer, sent us an inquiry, urgently needing 20 non-standard customized hydraulic
flow control valves with an accuracy of 1.0μm valve hole, which is required to
be completed within 1 month. Danielisadora has not cooperated much with AAK.
Previously, he purchased some SUN hydraulic valves in small quantities but with
high requirements. For 20 small quantities of non-standard customized hydraulic
flow control valves, most hydraulic valve manufacturers were unwilling to do.
After several rounds of email communication, we learned the difficulties that Danielisadora
has met.
In the second half of last year, Danielisadora
developed a high-performance excavator, which needs a high-precision hydraulic
control system as a support, reflecting the high-speed, heavy load and accurate
displacement of the equipment. However, the equipment is not smooth in the
commissioning stage, and the buffers at both ends of the excavator stick
cylinder often fail. Their engineer was puzzled. After disassembling the hydraulic
system, it was found that there was a little leakage in the hydraulic flow
control valves on the oil cylinder, which was caused by the valve hole accuracy
of the hydraulic flow control valves exceeding 1.0μm. The boss asked Danielisadora to solve the problem quickly,
because it will miss the exhibition period after 50 days. According to the
feedback of the original manufacturer of hydraulic flow control valves, he has
no ability to meet the accuracy standard of the 1.0μm valve hole now and has to
give up. Danielisadora was helpless. 1 week passed, no manufacturer is willing
to try the order of hydraulic flow control valves. The boss had pushed the
progress twice, and Danielisadora was under great pressure.
Danielisadora sent me an email and urgently
needed 20 non-standard customized hydraulic flow control valves with the
accuracy of 1.0μm valve hole. He said that the SUN hydraulic valves shipped by
AAK have never been complained about its accuracy. Frankly speaking, the 1.0μm valve
hole accuracy of hydraulic flow control valves is not too difficult for AAK.
After 30 days, 20 high-precision hydraulic flow control valves were delivered.
Half a month later, Danielisadora informed that AAK hydraulic flow control valves
were installed on the equipment, and the equipment abnormality happened last
time was solved. Now the equipment commissioning was successful, and the valve
hole accuracy of AAK hydraulic flow control valves was all 0.8μm, while the other
hydraulic valve manufacturers connect meet the accuracy standard of even 1.0μm.
AAK
has owned a high-precision honing machine imported from Switzerland as early as
3 years ago, and is equipped with HDK diamond reamer. This reamer is especially
skilled in high precision. The roundness of the front and rear guide is
0.005mm, the cylindricity is 0.005mm/100mm, and the roughness of the front
guide is Ra0.63μm. Roughness of rear guide excircle Ra0.16μm. The coaxiality
between the tool handle and the front and rear guide parts reaches 0.015mm;
Therefore, the aperture accuracy of the machined workpiece can be guaranteed to
be within 0.8μm, the surface roughness of reaming the aperture of hydraulic
flow control valves can reach Ra0.2. A few hydraulic valve manufacturers may
have high-end processing equipment, but for those with HDK diamond reamers,
there will never be a third one in Ningbo.
Danielisadora
privately informed that the boss now attaches great importance to him, and he
is responsible for all the purchases with some difficulties. AAK Hydraulic Valves
is now his preferred hydraulic valve manufacturer for cartridge valves.
AAK
hydraulic flow control valves, with valve hole accuracy within 0.8μm, and 3drops/min, benchmarking with HydraForce quality, there
are few rivals, you can also have a small try!
Madison is from WHITE company in the United States. 1 year ago, he found AAK Hydraulic Valves through Google. He wanted to develop a hydraulic pilot operated relief valve. After 2 rounds of PK, AAK hydraulic valves stood out from more than 30 hydraulic valve manufacturers and received the trial order for 30pcs of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves. The trial order requires that all parameters must be benchmarked with HydraForce. I replied that AAK Hydraulic Valves is the supplier of HydraForce for 9 consecutive years. The quality of HydraForce is the most basic commitment of AAK.
1 month later, 30 samples of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves were sent out, and Madison had no response. I did't have any follow-up. As long as these samples are approved by the customer, the customer will actively feedback the test results and will come to re-purchase this hydraulic pilot operated relief valve. 1 year later, that is, yesterday, I received Madison's e-mail. I knew that it must be the re-order before I did not read the email.
Madison said that after 1 year's use, AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valve has reached the standard, and 800 more hydraulic pilot operated relief valves are needed. Madison also specifically mentioned that AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valve is completely comparable to HydraForce in quality and function, and the internal leakage control is 20% higher than that of HydraForce, and the performance is more than 2 million times. In the past year, AAK Hydraulic Valve was the most satisfied hydraulic relief valve manufacturer of their entire technical team. Not only did the manufacturing quality match the standard of HydraHorce, but also the price was about 30% cheaper.
I know that there are many hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo, but there are not many hydraulic valve manufacturers such as AAK that insist on "high quality, excellent function and strong performance", perhaps not more than 3. In my early years, I understood the importance of choice from the Scrolls. One's greatest strength is the power of choice. Since its inception, AAK has made a quality positioning for hydraulic valves, which makes AAK become one of the suppliers of six top 500 enterprises in the world.
AAK's strength mainly depends on 3 important points: human, machine and material:
1. AAK engineers have more than 20 years of industry experience, not only have strong design and R & D capabilities, but also know the details of each processing of products.
2. In terms of finishing equipment, AAK has the NP520X-F full-automatic universal grinder of Japan Long Island, which can achieve μ surface of the processed valve spool is like a mirror, and the precision control is excellent.
3. AAK's selection of materials will be strictly based on the customer's working conditions and requirements, including German 20CrNi2MoV high-carbon bearing steel with high wear resistance and contact fatigue resistance, 18Cr2Ni4WA high-strength alloy carburized steel etc., and most of the hydraulic valve manufacturers use 45 steel or free cutting steel.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valves, high quality, excellent function, strong performance, you can also try a small one!
To be sure, there are many small and medium-sized factories with their own proprietary technologies in China, such as industrial products manufacturers with their own traditional technologies such as hydraulic valves. It is unlikely that Southeast Asian countries will replace China in 30-50 years, although consumables are gradually being replaced. Therefore, I am optimistic about China's hydraulic valve manufacturers, especially those with some proprietary technology.
Over the past 13 years, AAK has adhered to 3 lines: R & D, innovation and manufacturing capacity:
1. AAK Hydraulic Valves maintain the trend of being specialized and strong. I call it "both specialized and strong". Instead of giving priority to the development of manufacturing scale, we invest money in the research and development of hydraulic valves, spend time on the innovation of hydraulic valves, and spend energy on the manufacture of hydraulic valves. Most of the manufacturing industries have learned too many lessons from "big to die".
2. AAK focuses on the R & D and innovation of hydraulic valves. It focuses on both technology and quality, and strives to be strong on both sides. Its quality benchmarks the international first-line hydraulic valve brands. The performance and function of some hydraulic valves have exceeded the domestic head hydraulic valve manufacturers, especially in the vertically segmented niche market, such as high-pressure hydraulic valves.
3. Although the production scale of AAK Hydraulic Valve maintains the original situation, there is still room for urgent orders and special orders of old customers.
For industrial products, especially machine parts such as hydraulic valves, in marketing, you will find that it has nothing to do with the theories of Trout and Kotler. AAK hydraulic valves adhere to:
1)Focus on large hydraulic valve products and become our own core competitiveness.
2)The manufacturing quality of hydraulic valves, the price positioning of hydraulic valves, and the target customers constitute a triangle of a manufacturing enterprise.
3)Marketing, promotion and sales constitute a triangle of hydraulic valve business.
I have always called on hydraulic valve manufacturers to improve the material grade and produce high-quality hydraulic valves, but few hydraulic valve manufacturers follow suit. Why?
Because the manufacturers of hydraulic valves have extremely fierce price competition, even if you do it, you may not be able to make money after all the hardships. However, AAK hydraulic valves are used by 7 of the world's top 500 companies. For 9 consecutive years, AAK hydraulic valves have been HydraForce supplier of hydraulic valves. Moreover, AAK hydraulic valves never do market common quality, price comparison and credit business. In the face of such a competitive hydraulic valve market, why does it have no impact on the sales of AAK?
Because this market is too large, the sales volume of AAK hydraulic valves is also insignificant in the high-end market of hydraulic valves. Of course, the manufacturing quality of my hydraulic valves is among the top 1%. In addition to the repurchase of AAK hydraulic valves by our old customers and our promotion soft power on Google, AAK hydraulic valves can have a fairly good life.
AAK hydraulic valve, a unique road, is supported by our soft power. We insist on only cooperating with high-quality hydraulic valve customers.
2 months ago, Jackson from the
United States left a message on AAK website: I read the article "The
throttling groove is changed from double to single triangle. The hydraulic
counterbalance valve has no vibration. AAK makes Henry feel at ease for
vacation". I feel that your hydraulic valve engineers are creative in the
original design. I have a hydraulic pressure control valve. I always feel that
the design is not perfect. Are you interested in redesigning it?
I
like to read the user's message. The first thing I do when I open the computer
is to read the message and then look at the inquiry. The inquiry with
"difficult and complicated problems" will facilitate the transaction.
I suggest Jackson send the hydraulic pressure control valve drawings, hydraulic
schematic diagrams, and the problems encountered in the current procurement of
hydraulic pressure control valves.
It
turns out that Jackson is from a material handling hydraulic equipment company
in the United States, and he has been engaged in procurement for many years and
has been purchasing very smoothly. This time, he encountered a big difficulty
on the hydraulic pressure control valve purchased. 1 year ago, Jackson’s
company developed a hydraulic loader. After the trial, the customer advised
that the sensitivity was not high during the operation process, so it was not
needed any more. Their sales director was very angry and blamed the purchasing
department for dragging his feet. After testing, the field engineer think that
the probable cause of the problem is that the hydraulic pressure control valve
has no pressure compensation function and the opening and closing speed of the
valve is not ideal. So the engineer redesigned the hydraulic pressure control
valve and optimized the whole hydraulic system. After 1 month, the newly
designed hydraulic pressure control valve was installed and debugged. The
operator reported that the equipment had been improved a lot, but he always
felt that it was not perfect enough to buy. The sales director directly
complained to the boss. Jackson had to constantly look for new manufacturers of
hydraulic pressure control valves, but there was no substantive harvest.
After half a day of analysis,
AAK engineers finally found the key points. I replied to Jackson that AAK would
redesign the hydraulic pressure control valve to solve the sensitivity problem
he encountered. After 40 days, AAK sent 6 hydraulic pressure control valve
samples. 2 weeks later, Jackson emailed us that the sensitivity of the
equipment was improved by at least 30% with the new hydraulic pressure control
valve designed by AAK. The user was also very satisfied and was willing to buy
the equipment. The boss was very happy.
The hydraulic pressure control valve newly designed
by AAK belongs to the built-in zero leakage pressure compensation valve, which
realizes the "zero leakage" load maintenance and the falling speed is
not affected by the external load. When unloading, the hydraulic pressure
control valve cuts off the signal branch, and no oil in the unloading signal
branch flows back to the oil tank under high pressure, completely eliminating
this part of energy loss, thus achieving the effect of accurate control, And
the annual energy saving of the hydraulic loader can also reach about 10%.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve, high
sensitivity and energy saving, accuracy
tolerance 1μm., opening and closing for 1 second, you can also try it!
The processing difficulty of hydraulic relief valves with deep hole is a pain point in the industry. The greater the length diameter ratio, the greater the difficulty. Pablo, an American Hydraulic customer, has recently been besieged by an order for hydraulic relief valves with a length diameter ratio of 11:1. The original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer confirmed that the processing quality could be guaranteed during the quotation. However, in the actual proofing, it could not overcome the difficulty of deep hole. 3 proofs and 3 failures wasted 8 weeks. However, his customer had been pushing for the samples, and Pablo was in a dilemma. Pablo had to find new hydraulic relief valve manufacturers. Within 2 days, he contacted nearly 30 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. All of them said that they can only produce hydraulic relief valves with a length diameter ratio of 5:1. Pablo realized that trouble was coming and was worried.
Pablo learned that his friend Caleb purchased high-precision hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK, so he contacted us. According to the e-mail instructions and drawings of hydraulic relief valve sent by Pablo, the parameter requirements are high, that is, the tensile strength of hydraulic relief valve is 300N/cm², the compressive strength is 540N/cm², the clearance between the valve hole and the valve body is between 0.005 and 0.015mm, and the valve hole diameter is between Φ10~Φ41mm, the length of the valve body is 70mm, the maximum length diameter ratio is 11:1, and the dimensional accuracy of the valve hole is H6 ~ H7. When I saw the requirements of this hydraulic relief valve, I knew that most hydraulic valve manufacturers could not process it. Even if it is processed, its accuracy is a hidden danger.
After internal discussion of AAK technical team, I replied to Pablo that AAK could send samples of hydraulic relief valves in 3 weeks, and the parameters could meet the requirements of the drawings. I felt Pablo's skepticism. Maybe the original hydraulic relief valve manufacturer also said like this but did not do it. He repeatedly emphasized the processing of the length diameter ratio and the accuracy requirements. After 20 days, AAK sent 6 samples of hydraulic relief valves. Pablo approved AAK hydraulic relief valve samples on the 5th day after receiving the samples. At the same time, he is curious that the original manufacturer failed in making samples of this hydraulic relief valve with the length diameter ratio of 11:1 for 3 times, but AAK succeeded at one time.
The reason why AAK can produce the hydraulic relief valves with a large length diameter ratio mainly due to the following 3 points:
1. The long drill bit of W12Cr4V4Mo high-performance high-speed steel is selected to replace the conventional carbon tool steel drill bit. The hardness and heat resistance of the drill bit are increased by more than 1 times, and the impact toughness is also increased by 2-3 times.
2. During deep hole machining, the chips are not easy to be discharged, easily blocked or even broken. After grinding, the AAK bit reduces the resistance, and then cooperates with the cutting fluid to drill, which completely solves the chip accumulation.
3. According to the length diameter ratio, reasonably select the drilling amount, which is a skill.
AAK hydraulic relief valves, good at deep hole processing, no deformation, welcome to try!
At
the beginning of this year, Liam from the Netherlands found AAK Hydraulic Valves
on Google. He told me that he encountered the dilemma of purchasing hydraulic
pressure reducing valves. Their company has developed a hydraulic support
column used in coal mining. The hydraulic pressure reducing valve used is
critical to the stability of the equipment. Their engineer designed the
hydraulic pressure reducing valve according to the system principle, and Liam
found a 5 years experienced hydraulic pressure reducing valve supplier to test
the sample. After 50 days, the equipment commissioning was not smooth, and
after 1 hour of operation, the support was unstable and noisy. At first, it was
thought that it was caused by the leakage of the hydraulic pressure reducing
valves, but there was no abnormality after testing the hydraulic pressure
reducing valves individually. Their engineer spent another 2 days checking each
hydraulic element one by one, but could not find the root cause of the problem.
The delivery time of the prototype was less
than 2 months. The boss was worried and asked Liam to contact the manufacturer
of the hydraulic pressure reducing valves to help analyze the cause. 1 week
passed, Liam consulted more than 20 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers,
but none of them gave a plan. Liam was helpless and had to continue to find new
manufacturers of hydraulic pressure reducing valves.
According
to Liam, this is a systematic problem. Based on his hydraulic schematic
diagram, video of abnormal hydraulic column test run, AAK technical team had
discussion and judged that the problem was still on the hydraulic pressure
reducing valves. Liam said that their engineer tested the hydraulic pressure
reducing valves separately and found no abnormality. I suggested that only by
redesigning the hydraulic pressure reducing valve can the potential safety
hazards of the hydraulic column be solved. Perhaps Liam was half convinced,
maybe there was no other choice, he paid the development cost of the hydraulic
pressure reducing valves. After 45 days, AAK sent the 20 newly designed
hydraulic pressure reducing valves.
2 weeks later, Liam informed that
the equipment had been running for 1 week, without noise, and the support was
rising steadily. It could be delivered to the customer immediately. Their
engineer wanted to know how AAK designed it. AAK newly designed hydraulic
pressure reducing valve has the characteristics of high nominal pressure, large
flow, good opening and closing characteristics, stable performance, reliable
sealing, small volume and compact structure. We design and produce from the
following 3 points, which is unexpected to most of our peers.
1.
From joint, valve spool, valve spool sleeve, ejector rod, spring, base, valve
body, axial hole and radial hole, from material selection to processing, we
have made separate plans.
2. The axial hole is connected
with the lower chamber of the column. The joint of the hydraulic pressure
reducing valve is provided with an unloading channel. The radial hole of the
valve spool can be connected with the unloading channel. The valve spool is
connected with the spring through the ejector rod, the other end of the spring
is connected with the base, and the joint is fixedly connected with the valve
body.
3. A sealing ring is arranged
between the valve spool and the inner wall of the joint, and an O-ring is
arranged between the ejector rod and the joint. A special O-ring axial seal
spring balance structure is adopted.
Liam privately told that his boss had increased
his salary for 2 levels and listed AAK as the preferred supplier of hydraulic
pressure reducing valves.

quality, you can also try a small order!
Maverick is from a Canadian hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company. In the first half of last year, the high-temperature
hydraulic power unit dedicated to meltblown equipment sold by their company for
less than 4 months was complained by customers. The engineer found that the opening
pressure of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves on the equipment
deviated from the set standard pressure, resulting in unstable pressure supply.
Through further inspection, it was found that the pressure spring in the valve
failed. According to the feedback from the original manufacturer of the
hydraulic relief valves, the fatigue resistance of the pressure spring is
reduced due to the working condition environment exceeding 350℃ and long-term full load operation,
so the pressure spring can only be replaced. 3 months later, the same problem
occurred again. The customer complained directly to the boss. The boss asked
maverick to source the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves with a service
life of more than 1 year to replace the current stock. Maverick contacted more
than 10 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers and they all said that the pressure
spring life of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves can only be
guaranteed for 6 months under the high temperature of 350℃. The boss has pushed twice, but the new manufacturer of the
hydraulic relief valves has not been found. Maverick is worried.
Maverick found AAK Hydraulic
Valves from Google and left us a message: how much temperature can the pressure
spring of hydraulic relief valve withstand and ensure a life of 1 year? I
answered directly: AAK used to ship hydraulic valves with high temperature
resistance of 500℃, and no customer complained that the pressure spring was invalid.
The next day, he provided the working condition requirements and production
drawings of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, and informed that the
current procurement of this hydraulic relief valve was not smooth, and urgent
replenishment was needed to replace it. AAK engineer found that the hydraulic pilot
operated relief valve not only has high requirements for the spring, but also
has shortcomings in the design. We advised the design change suggestions and
promised to complete the trial order within 45 days.
After 45 days, AAK sent out 30 hydraulic pilot operated
relief valves. Last week, Maverick sent an e-mail that it is going to be 1
year, the equipment installed with AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valves has
no abnormal pressure supply till now. He needs to re-order 300 more.
Under
high temperature conditions, the service life of AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve is more than 1 year, it is so different from the most of the peers are due
to the following 3 points:
1.
AAK engineers have more than 20 years of
development and design experience. The dynamic balance of the valve spool of
this hydraulic pilot operated relief valve is high. Only by optimizing the
valve port size can the flow always be controlled within the set pressure
range. On the contrary, it will affect the pressure supply. This skill is very
particular.
2.
AAK has unique method to
choose pressure spring, chooses 30W4Cr2V heat-resistant pressure spring steel
with the best opening ratio as the core component of this hydraulic pilot operated
relief valve according to the pressure range and spring stiffness coefficient.
The pressure spring will not fail even if the oil temperature is higher than
500℃.
3.
AAK Hydraulic Valve has developed 500
non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge valves for 7 world top 500
enterprises.
Maverick also privately informed that the performance
of AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valve was admired by their engineers and
they introduced AAK to several peers.
AAK hydraulic pilot operated
relief valves, optimized design, strict material selection, you can also try a
small order!
Fischer comes from a
Spanish hydraulic equipment manufacturing company and is an experienced purchaser.
Unexpectedly, the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves purchased last year
made him depressed for more than 1 month. In August last year, the sales of one
of their hydraulic power units was not satisfactory, and there were several
complaints about unstable supply and pressure. The problem is that the angle
error of the inner cone of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve is large.
The original manufacturer of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves advised
that this is an individual problem. But after replacement with new one, there
are more and more complaints. The boss was very angry and requested Fischer to
purchase a new batch of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves for replacement
within 45 days. Fischer contacted with many hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers and required that the angle error range of the cone inside the
sleeve of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valves must be 100% controlled
within ± 0.08 °. However, 1 week has passed and no one of these hydraulic valve
manufacturers is willing to accept the order. Fischer was depressed and
worried.
Introduced by his
friend Trinidad, an old customer of AAK, Fischer sent me an e-mail. According
to his drawings of hydraulic pilot operated relief valve, as long as the angle
error of the conical surface in the valve sleeve is solved, the unstable
pressure supply of the hydraulic power unit can be solved. 1 month later, AAK
sent 100 hydraulic pilot operated relief valves.
Last week, Fischer informed
by email that since AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valves were used, there
was no complaint about unstable pressure supply. Their engineers specially
tested the internal cone angle of the hydraulic relief valves, which was 25%
higher than their accuracy requirements and 100% controlled within 0.06°.
Fischer was curious that the internal cone angle error of 0.06° could not be
solved by many hydraulic valve manufacturers, but AAK exceeded the standard for
25%.
As
early as 3 years ago, AAK engineers innovated the precision machining of valve
body. First, they established a manufacturing error model to control the error
range of the angle of the inner cone below 0.06° and the maximum axial grinding
tolerance of the corresponding sealing circle below 2μm. At the same time, a
special detection device is innovated to improve the detection accuracy through
error correction and ensure the stability of grinding manufacturing accuracy.
The inner conical surface of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve sleeve
adopts the finishing process of carbonitriding and post grinding to accurately
control the grinding amount. The key is to control the grinding amount. If the
grinding amount of the inner cone surface is too large, it will result in the
reduction of hardness, and the service life of the hydraulic pilot operated
relief valve will be reduced, which leads to unstable pressure supply.
AAK
hydraulic pilot operated relief valves, strictly control the details, high
accuracy, you can also try a small order!
Patrick is from a Dutch hydraulic equipment manufacturing company. Since the beginning of last year, the order of a high-precision and large flow hydraulic relief valve has been tossed for more than half a year, and finally he had to return to AAK to place the order.
At the beginning of last year, Patrick sent an inquiry for 30 hydraulic relief valves. 3 days after AAK's quotation, Patrick placed the sample order, but there was no reply after the hydraulic relief valve samples were sent. It was not until the beginning of last month, that is, more than half a year later, Patrick sent an e-mail asking whether each hydraulic relief valve in the regular order could guarantee the same quality as the sample? I felt something was wrong. After several rounds of e-mail communication, I learned that Patrick gave the regular order to another hydraulic relief valve manufacturer, and the price was more than 15% cheaper than AAK. However, after 8 months, the main valve spools of some hydraulic relief valves were worn, resulting in loose fitting of valve body holes and even grooves, resulting in failure to raise the pressure of the equipment system.
According to the feedback of the original hydraulic valve manufacturer, this hydraulic relief valve has large flow, high frequency of use, high accuracy of valve hole, and wear is normal. 2 months later, more and more complaints were received, but the original manufacturer surrendered and asked Patrick to source other hydraulic relief valve manufacturers. Patrick was a little scared and had to go back to AAK. Because the AAK hydraulic relief valves used in the original design equipment has not been abnormal for more than 1 year, it would be better to choose AAK even if the price is more expensive for 15%.
If the hydraulic relief valves with large flow need to have high accuracy and be durable for more than 1 year, or more than 2 million times, the material selection, processing and quality awareness are indispensable. For the hydraulic valve manufacturers who can guarantee these 3 points at the same time, you may not find a third one in Ningbo.
1. AAK has American high-precision CNC honing machine tools. The surface roughness after honing is less than Ra0.8 and the cylindricity can reach 0.5μm. Axis straightness can reach 1μm. It is especially suitable for finishing the valve hole of large flow hydraulic relief valves. The processing aperture range is 5-500mm, and the depth diameter ratio can reach 10. For large flow hydraulic relief valves with large aperture, most hydraulic valve manufacturers can only reach 2-3μm.
2. According to the large flow rate of this model, after 2 weeks of comparative testing, AAK has determined the German 20CrNi2MoV high-carbon bearing steel as the main material of the valve body. Its high wear resistance and contact fatigue resistance are 3 times that of other conventional steels, ensuring that there is no wear for more than 1 year. Most hydraulic valve manufacturers choose 12L14 free cutting steel.
3. AAK hydraulic valve has been supplied to 7 of the world's top 500 enterprises, and its quality awareness has been benchmarked with the international first-line hydraulic valve brands.

In the workplace, 90% of people leave the computer, and their brain is blank. This is very fatal and it is difficult to grow into a person who is in charge. In AAK Hydraulic Valve, if colleagues are in such a state, they need to be criticized. Some people are very curious about how my brain can hold so many things.
I have been working for 24 years, and 3 working habits have always been with me. As long as you persist in doing so, your brain can also search or screen at will like a computer. Whether you are an industrial product manufacturer such as hydraulic valves or a non manufacturing enterprise, it can be used.
The first habit is punctuality, and we should respect time.
I don't like waiting for others, so I made up my mind not to let others wait for me. Even if there is an emergency, don't let people wait too long. For example, when I make an appointment to meet at 8:00, my instruction to the brain is to meet at 7:50.
I don't like to be late. When I first joined the work, the company stipulated that I should go to work at 8:30. At this time, there are a circle of people around the punch card. Some of them are still sweating. I don't understand. I set myself a working time of 8:10, which means I have 20 minutes of leisure. I spent 15 minutes to review yesterday's events and 5 minutes to sort today's events.
I have a regular schedule every day, such as what time to get up in the morning and what to do at what time to avoid the first thing delaying the second thing and the second thing delaying the third thing.
The second habit is taking notes. I will write down what I learned today and what I gained.
A bad pen is better than a good memory. You can't remember it with your brain alone. People remember more than you do. That's because they use more pens than you do. For example, when we do hydraulic valve design or programming, we often need to learn some tools or methods, relevant books or documents, which are unified in a fixed folder, and summarize the basic points of the tools or methods. For example, I need to file on the same day how to solve the difficult problems of the hydraulic valves raised by the customers or the hidden quality problems of the hydraulic valves in the workshop. Otherwise, I will basically forget about them next time.
I insist on taking notes. There are already 6 thick books. I write on them what problems I have encountered one day, one month, one year, how I did the first step, the second step and the third step, and my experience. In my spare time, I'll look through it. Some can be extended.
The third habit is to make a weekly list. If necessary, the four quadrant rule of time management shall be followed.
Every Monday morning, I arrive at the company half an hour earlier than usual. I will write down what I want to do this week, make a list and make a priority. At the same time, I will also make a summary of the previous week to see what progress was not completed and analyze the reasons.
Those engaged in the production of hydraulic valves should not grasp everything at once. When arranging things, they must give priority. If there are 7 things to be done in a week, but only 4 things have been completed in the end, but if these 4 things are the most important things, it may be OK. If only 4 pieces are completed randomly, the effect is very general. How to focus on the most important things is also a required course.
Good habits, good behavior, good results. In particular, AAK hydraulic valves are faced with customers who pay attention to quality and cannot be careless.
Today, the American customer April has placed another
new order for hydraulic cartridge valves. Coincidentally, this PO is for 100
non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge valves that AAK has cooperated with
them for 10 years. April is the first customer of AAK Hydraulic Valve to enter
the overseas market, and also the first foreign trade order of AAK Hydraulic Valve
3 years after its establishment. Up to now, AAK hydraulic cartridge valves have
been supplied to 7 world top 500 enterprises.
AAK hydraulic cartridge valves
adhere to 3 points, adhere to the manufacturing quality of hydraulic cartridge valves,
pay attention to research and development, and focus on innovation. In
particular, the high-precision and high-performance hydraulic cartridge valve
samples have been defeated repeatedly, but we never give up until success.
April's first inquiry is for hydraulic cartridge valves used in the military industry,
with an accuracy of 0.8μm or less, the durability of more than 1 million times,
and the opening and closing performance of 1 second. Our engineer was a little
timid when he saw these requirements. I told him that if the development was
successful, all the credit would go to him. If it failed, I would pay for it. 2
months later, the samples of AAK hydraulic cartridge valve was sent out. 2
weeks later, April reported that the opening and closing performance of AAK
hydraulic cartridge valves reached the standard, but the accuracy and
durability tests failed. This indicates that the material selection is
incorrect and the process is correct. I told April that AAK was confident that
the samples would be successful. 3 months later, the test of AAK hydraulic cartridge
valves still failed, and the durability was barely 800,000 times. I encouraged
the engineer to continue the test. 5 months later, the AAK hydraulic cartridge valve
was approved by April. At the same time, the never say die spirit of AAK also
makes April admire, because AAK is the only manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge
valves that insists on testing samples in 1 year and does not give up.
AAK hydraulic cartridge valves, in the face of failure,
the wealth gained is that after every failure, there is an increase in
technology accumulation, of which the most critical is 3 points:
1. Equipment
updating is not stopped, and fixture innovation should be synchronized. 5 years
ago, the precision honing machine imported from the United States was
introduced. The accuracy of valve holes processed by other hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers is 0.8μm--1.0μm, while with AAK synchronous innovation fixture,
the valve hole accuracy can be within 0.6μm--0.8μm, which is 20% higher.
2. Material types: AAK material
warehouse has 12 kinds of special steels, such as 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot work die
steel, 20CrNi2MoV high-permeability carbon bearing steel imported from Germany,
Hastelloy alloy steel imported from the United States etc. At the same time,
there are 8 kinds of sealing ring materials. At any time, we can meet the
requirements of customers with high quality hydraulic cartridge valves.
3. Technology and
process upgrading: AAK has senior engineer from HAWE, and technical teams with
an average of more than 15 years of industry experience, adhere to the
manufacturing quality of hydraulic cartridge valves, pay attention to research
and development, and focus on innovation.
AAK hydraulic cartridge valves are supplied to 7
world top 500 enterprises. You can also try a small order!
At the end of last year, Stefan
from Italy sent an email asking whether 50 non-standard hydraulic flow control
valves could be produced within 25 days? For urgent orders like this, there is
probably a problem with procurement. We have 3 years of cooperation with Stefan
in some high-precision hydraulic flow control valves. Stefan is also an
experienced purchaser in the hydraulic valve industry. Unexpectedly, he
encountered problems on purchasing this time.
In
the second half of last year, their company produced a batch of hydraulic
winches, which needed hydraulic flow control valves. We also received an
inquiry for this hydraulic flow control valve but did not get the order. Stefan
frankly advised that AAK quotation was about 20% higher than that of other
hydraulic flow control valves, so I gave it up, and told him that although AAK
quotation was 20% more expensive than that of the peers, the service life of AAK
hydraulic flow control valves was twice as long as theirs. Stefan didn't expect
that 3 months after the equipment was sold, some customers complained that the
hydraulic winch was unable to operate. The after-sales personnel found that it
was caused by the leakage of the hydraulic flow control valve. The customer asked
to solve the abnormal equipment problem within 1 month.
The original manufacturer of the hydraulic
flow control valves advised that it should be the leakage caused by the wear of
individual parts due to the poor accuracy. He is also willing to offer free
replacements. Because this hydraulic flow control valve is customized and there
is no inventory, and it takes 50 days to re-produce. Stefan has a big headache.
He tried to contact other manufacturers of hydraulic flow control valves. They
either rejected due to the small quantity or said that it would not be
completed in 25 days. After the boss learned about these conditions, he asked
Stefan to contact AAK again. Even if the price is higher, it can be completed
within 25 days, moreover, there is no need to worry about the manufacturing
quality of AAK hydraulic flow control valves. I told Stefan that as long as our
production line can be adjusted, AAK will still maintain the original quotation
of last year. After 25 days, AAK sent 50 hydraulic flow control valves, and
Stefan finally relaxed.
Yesterday, Stefan sent an e-mail
to express his thanks. After AAK hydraulic flow control valves were installed
on the equipment, and there has been no complaint for 6 months. His boss wants
to know how AAK produces hydraulic flow control valves in half the time of its
peers?
1. In terms of component processing, the hydraulic flow
control valve adopts Japan OKK ultra precision machine tool, especially its
nano resolution numerical control system, which can ensure that the component
processing accuracy can reach 0.01-0.3μm. The shape and profile accuracy is
0.003 - 0.1μm. At the same
time, the fast moving speed of each shaft reaches 60m/min, which is more than
30% faster than the production efficiency of other machine tools. At the same
time, under the operation of our technicians, the processed components are free
of defects.
2. In the assembly,
considering the accuracy difference of each component of the hydraulic flow
control valve, our peers use the matching method to assemble, while AAK uses
the unified assembly method, and the assembly efficiency is twice that of the
peers.
3.
In terms of production deployment, for special orders, we can operate 24H, and
there is flexible production line deployment.

Last week, the German customer Thorsten sent an order for
1,200 hydraulic counterbalance valves, and said that only AAK and SUN hydraulic
counterbalance valves passed 1 million durability tests among the 6 hydraulic
valve manufacturers making the samples. However, the price of AAK was 30% lower
than that of SUN, and the delivery time was faster.
In May this year, Thorsten’s company received an order
for a batch of special hydraulic winches. The customer requested that the
equipment be guaranteed for at least 1 year of service life. The engineer
required that the durability test of the hydraulic counterbalance valve to be purchased
by Thorsten must reach more than 1 million times. Thorsten found a local
hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturer to carry out the test. After 100,000
times, the O-ring wear affected the seal. After the sealing ring was replaced,
the valve spool and valve body were worn and leaked again after 200,000 times,
and the local manufacturer surrendered.
Thorsten had to find a manufacturer of hydraulic counterbalance
valves with higher durability. In order to avoid wasting purchasing time again,
the two schemes were carried out simultaneously. One is to purchase the
original SUN hydraulic counterbalance valves, and the other is to find a factory
for customized hydraulic cartridge valves. When Thorsten contacted AAK, I told
him that the requirement of hydraulic counterbalance valves for 1 million times
was not very high. How could local hydraulic valve manufacturer fail? Thorsten
said that when testing this hydraulic counterbalance valve, the opening and
closing cycle time is set to 5 seconds, the set pressure is 21 PMa, and the
flow rate is 9L/min. The wear resistance of the sealing ring, valve spool and
valve body is at least 50% higher than that of the conventional hydraulic counterbalance
valves. This time, including AAK, there are 6 hydraulic valve manufacturers to
make samples.
More than a month later, Thorsten said that among the 6
hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers, only AAK and SUN hydraulic counterbalance
valves have passed the durability test for 1 million times, but the price of AAK
is 30% lower than that of SUN. At the same time, AAK can provide a delivery
time 4 weeks faster than that of sun. Thorsten especially wants to know why AAK
is so strong. AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves are different from peers due
to the following 3 points:
1. AAK adopts Japanese special polyurethane rubber
sealing ring for this hydraulic counterbalance valve. Under the special working
condition required by Thorsten, the durability limit of rubber sealing ring is
about 100,000 times only, while the wear-resistant and high-pressure resistance
performance of ours is more than twice that of other rubber sealing rings.
2.
The
20CrNi2MoV high carburizing bearing steel imported from Germany adopted by AAK,
combined with the carburizing pretreatment process and through the secondary
quenching + cryogenic treatment + low temperature tempering process, has a
microhardness of 237-247HV, and its wear resistance and contact fatigue
performance have been improved by more than 3 times. Most hydraulic counterbalance
valve manufacturers can not master the key of heat treatment even if they
choose this steel.
3.
AAK
has its own durability test equipment independently developed, combined with
NFPA/T2.6.1 standard, each hydraulic counterbalance valve is tested and meets
the standard.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance
valves, benchmarked with SUN, you can also try a small order!
Torsten
is from the Netherlands. As an old purchaser, he is very handy in the hydraulic
industry. Unexpectedly, he fell on a hydraulic valve block with 24 deep holes
and large holes. In the second half of last year, his company developed a
large-scale hydraulic windlass for ships. The hydraulic valve block used was
sampled from a hydraulic valve block manufacturer in the Netherlands, but the
machine running test was not smooth. After the equipment has been operated for
8 hours, there is leakage at the installation hole of the hydraulic valve
block. After eliminating the suspected quality of the hydraulic cartridge valves,
the engineer inspected the installation hole of the hydraulic valve block and
found that the center position of the hole was offset.
The
original manufacturer of the hydraulic valve block feedback that it is caused
by the deviation of the drill bit, and a new sample is required. However,
although the processing accuracy of the second sample was improved, there was
still leakage 1 month later. Now the equipment is waiting to be put into
production. Their engineers have push Torsten 3 times. He can only look for new
hydraulic valve block manufacturers. Torsten contacted more than 10 manufacturers
and asked if they could process the hydraulic valve blocks with 24 deep holes
and large holes. Only 2 manufacturers were willing to try, but they were not
100% sure. Torsten left message on AAK website: how to control the accuracy of the
hydraulic valve blocks with 24 deep holes and large holes? At first, I thought it
was from a peer of hydraulic valve blocks, and ignored it. It was not until
Torsten sent three-dimensional and two-dimensional drawings of the hydraulic
valve block that I knew the difficulties he had encountered. I told him that AAK
had produced similar hydraulic valve blocks with large holes and deep holes.
After
28 days, 5 hydraulic valve blocks were sent. 3 months later, Torsten sent an
order for 500 hydraulic valve blocks. He specially reminded that the accuracy
of the mass production must be the same as that of the samples. AAK is the only
manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks whose samples passed the test. AAK
hydraulic valve blocks, for the processing of deep holes and large holes, there
are 3 details:
1. Before the
hydraulic valve block is processed, the clamping stiffness of the tool shall be
verified to avoid the insufficient clamping stiffness of the drill bit, which
may cause the drill bit to deviate and cause the processing hole to be slightly
elliptical.
2. During the
processing of the hydraulic valve blocks, a small drill bit smaller than the
processing size is used for pre drilling. The deeper the drill bit is drilled,
the easier it is to deviate from the predetermined axis, resulting in the
deviation of the center position of the processing hole. The secondary
processing of AAK can ensure that the drill bit does not deviate. At the same
time, the feed amount and speed setting of the tool are strictly subdivided, so
that the cutting chips can be timely excluded from the hole. Most hydraulic
valve block manufacturers suffer from this link. Cutting chips are accumulated
at the end, affecting the roughness of the valve hole and the processing of the
drill bit, leaving hidden dangers for later leakage.
3. After the
hydraulic valve block is processed, the center position, roughness and
roundness of the processed hole shall be checked one by one.
AAK
hydraulic valve blocks, is not afraid of deep holes, nor slender holes, nor
large holes, no deviation. You can also try a small order!
For the hydraulic check valve with the length diameter ratio of 25:1, Andrew contacted with more than 20 hydraulic check valve manufacturers online and offline in 1 week, but none of them was willing to offer. The boss was very dissatisfied and Andrew was very headache.
Andrew from Spain left a message on AAK Hydraulic Valve website some time ago: can you make samples for a hydraulic check valve with a length diameter ratio of 25:1? After communication, we learned about his current purchasing situation. Because he saw on B2B that AAK published an article on the length diameter ratio of a hydraulic relief valve, then he contacted us with a try attitude. According to Andrew's drawings, it is a long and thin shaft hydraulic check valve with very complex structure. No wonder no hydraulic valve manufacturer is willing to offer. I told him that this hydraulic check valve has a length to diameter ratio of 25:1, which was 5 times that of conventional valves, and it was difficult to cut. Especially in terms of accuracy, it was very particular about equipment, operators and technology. We are willing to make samples. If AAK sample fails, there is no need to find the hydraulic check valve manufacturer in Ningbo.
Andrew may have no choice but to accept the sample first and then quote. After 10 days, AAK sent 3 hydraulic check valve samples. The key to machining the thin and long shaft of this hydraulic check valve is how to control the thermal deformation of the workpiece. During cutting, the workpiece is high in temperature and easy to deform. On the 3rd day after Andrew received the samples, he informed by email that his team had approved that AAK hydraulic check valves not only had the length diameter ratio of 25:1 in place, but also had the surface roughness and geometric accuracy up to standard.
For hydraulic cartridge valves with large length diameter ratio, AAK has accumulated the following 3 experiences after years of exploration:
1. Drill and fixture: long drill to be matched from hardness, heat resistance and impact toughness. When the clamping method of one clamp and one top is adopted, the elastic movable center is also used to compensate the thermal deformation and elongation, so that the elongated shaft can be freely extended after being heated to avoid thermal deformation.
2. Cutting amount and cutting fluid: according to the length diameter ratio, the drilling amount is reasonably selected. This is a skill. During cutting, the cutting fluid shall be poured sufficiently to suppress the rise of the working temperature and thus the thermal deformation.
3. The tool shall be kept sharp and the tool changing frequency shall be increased to 3 times. It can effectively reduce the friction heat between the tool and the workpiece, and control the thermal deformation from the source.
This morning, I received the PO for this hydraulic check valve from Andrew. He told me that although the customer complained that their quotation was slow, they were the fastest and the only supplier of the sample success at only one time.
AAK hydraulic check valve, with unique skills on the length diameter ratio, welcome to try!
Yesterday, I saw a report in the New York Times: "China's economic slowdown has brought difficulties to the United States and the world.". It seems that now it's China's turn to catch a cold, and the world will sneeze.
During this period, the domestic financial and economic columns have become more and more confused. There are both pessimistic and optimistic views on China's economy, but it seems that most of the big news are always pessimistic. At present, there are indeed difficulties, but China has its own special 3 trumps: autonomy and independence, a complete industrial and technological chain, and the world's largest economy.
I don't like pessimistic views and remarks very much. Foreign media have been criticizing China for decades, and some domestic elites have also been singing along. However, China has become the second largest economy in the world. Facts have proved that China's progress is wave like, which is the same as making hydraulic cartridge valves. The hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers are also wave like in their development. In fact, people are also like this. Few people have made great progress from birth. Whether you can stand on the wave head, and whether you can stand on the wave bottom.
Therefore, I am still optimistic. Maybe the pessimist is right, but the optimist has been successful. There is a long way to go. Anyway, keep faith and always believe that good things will happen soon. Maybe the probability of success will be higher.
In the manufacturing industry, especially the mechanical parts with high technical content such as hydraulic valves, they are slow, stupid, and solid, and they are the efforts of smart people. There is no shortcut on this road. There is no safe haven. If without manufacturing quality 1 lead in the front, and any more 0 after it, it will return to zero after all.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, starting from the first sample of foreign trade, must be benchmarked with international first-class brands in terms of quality awareness. This is also the fundamental reason for being able to supply hydraulic valves to 7 of the world's top 500 enterprises.
AAK hydraulic valve's 3-point insistence (manufacturing quality, function and performance) is beyond the reach of peers.
Manufacturing quality of AAK Hydraulic Valves:
1)Material selection: replace brand material A with A+ material
2)The accuracy of precision parts of the valves can reach within 2 microns (such as roundness and cylindricity)
3)4 inspections for each valve (precision dimension of machined parts, tightness of assembly, pressure test and random fatigue test)
AAK Hydraulic Valves Function:
Benchmark original brand samples: the internal leakage, such as check valves, shall be controlled at 2drops/min; For example, pressure control valve, direct acting relief valve RV10-20A, with an opening and closing rate of 85%; For example, the flow control valve FD50-45 has a diversion accuracy of 10%
AAK Hydraulic Valves Performance:
The service life of the conventional valves can reach 1.5 million times, and the customized valves can reach 2 million times.
AAK Hydraulic Valve has made a good quality positioning and maintained an optimistic attitude. No matter how far the road is, it will eventually arrive.
Logan,
a British customer, checked with 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers that he often
contacted, none of them can make a hydraulic relief valve with high pressure
resistance of 450Bar. Only AAK solved the problem of high pressure resistance
with 68HRC material and ensured the performance of 2 million times.
According
to the requirements of the engineer, Logan defines the material hardness of the
hydraulic relief valve as above 68HRC, which is 10% higher than that of the
conventional hydraulic relief valves. After a round of consultation, 8 hydraulic
valve manufacturers gave up, and the other 2 old hydraulic relief valve
suppliers tried to make samples. 2 weeks later, the hardness of the samples of
the 2 hydraulic relief valve suppliers remained at 63-65HRC, which was their
maximum capability. Logan had no choice but to look for the manufacturer of
hydraulic relief valves again. Logan consulted 20 companies online, and they
all said that they were not confident to try 68HRC materials and 450Bar high-pressure
hydraulic relief valves. Logan was in a big headache.
Logan
found some articles of AAK about the 450Bar high-pressure hydraulic valves on
the B2B website, including 68HRC materials. He emailed the drawing of hydraulic
relief valve directly to AAK and asked AAK for samples. After communication, we
learned that the sample of this hydraulic relief valve was stuck on the
material hardness. I told him that 68HRC material was a must for the hydraulic
relief valves with high pressure resistance of 450Bar, otherwise the service
life of 2 million times could not be guaranteed. AAK can send the hydraulic relief
valve samples in 2 weeks, but the development cost of US$1,200 for the trial
order needs to be paid first. Logan seemed to have concerns. I said with a
smile that AAK publishes articles on solving the difficult problems of
hydraulic valves on the Internet every day. If it's only for your $1,200, our
time is not worth it.
Logan
was instantly relieved and informed the financial department of the payment. He
was surprised that the manufacturers he contacted could not make the
high-pressure hydraulic relief valves, and AAK had solved the 68HRC material
very early. AAK has 3 points to ensure that the material can reach 68HRC, which
is also the reason why most hydraulic valve manufacturers are uncertain.
1、The
imported alloy billet is selected to replace carbon steel, and then the billet
is forged at high temperature, and the hardness of the material is increased by
at least 3-5%.
2、Quenching
and tempering heat treatment shall be conducted after forging: 2 high-temperature
normalizing + 2 high-temperature tempering shall be adopted, and each time the
insulation shall not be less than 15 minutes. There are tips for controlling
the temperature range.
3、After
tempering treatment, the workpiece is cooled to room temperature by combining
water cooling and air cooling. Firstly, the workpiece is water cooled to
475-485°C at a cooling rate of 8-9°C/s, then air cooled to 325-345°C, then
water cooled to 195-2050°C at a cooling rate of 4-5°C/s, and then air cooled to
room temperature. In this 4-step process, most hydraulic relief valve
manufacturers only take 2 steps.
2
weeks later, the hydraulic relief valve samples of AAK were sent out. Logan
told me 1 week after receiving the samples that AAK hydraulic relief valve was
not only resistant to high pressure, but also the material hardness of each
part reached the standard.
AAK
hydraulic relief valves, high pressure resistant, long life, welcome to try!
Hannelore
is from Germany and has been engaged in procurement for many years. Their
company is going to launch a new hydraulic injection molding machine, which
uses hydraulic pressure control valves. He selected a hydraulic pressure
control valve manufacturer who has been cooperating for 5 years to make samples,
and emphasized that the geometric accuracy of the valve spool and valve sleeve needs
to be within 1μm. The manufacturer said that he might not be able to achieve
it, but Hannelore believed in the sample capacity of the manufacturer because
there were similar cases before. After 45 days, the hydraulic pressure control
valve was installed with the equipment and began to test run. However, the
movement speed of the actuator of the equipment was unstable. The engineer
judged that the hydraulic pressure control valve was not up to the standard.
The actual problem was that the geometric accuracy of the valve spool and valve
sleeve was not up to the standard, which led to the inflexibility of the
hydraulic pressure control valves. The original manufacturer has surrendered,
and it will be a waste of time to retest. Hannelore contacted more than 10 hydraulic
valve manufacturers. They either have no reply, or said that they were only 80%
confident. Hannelore had no time to bet on this 80% confidence, because the
exhibition time was approaching. At this time, Hannelore was extremely worried.
Hannelore
found AAK Hydraulic Valve on Google, leaving a message: how much can the geometric
accuracy of the valve spool and valve sleeve of the hydraulic pressure control valve
be controlled. I replied directly, within 1.0μm, no problem. Hannelore sent the
drawing of hydraulic pressure control valve and asked for AAK samples. After 40
days, AAK hydraulic pressure control valve samples were sent. After 10 days,
Hannelore advised that the geometric accuracy of the valve spool and valve
sleeve of each sample of AAK did not exceed 0.8μm. The prototype
passed their test run is already on the way to the exhibition hall. Hannelore's
depressed mood was finally released. I told him to have a drink in the evening
and then just wait patiently for the good news of the exhibition.
Last
week, Hannelore told us that the exhibition effect was good. He ordered 800
hydraulic pressure control valves first, and emphasized that the delivery time
should be on time and the quality should be the same as the trial order. I
joked that these are the lowest level commitments in AAK. AAK hydraulic
pressure control valves broke his concerns completely with 3 points:
1.
Swiss high-precision honing machine, the geometric accuracy of valve spool and
valve sleeve can be controlled within 0.8μm. With this precision foundation,
there is no need to worry about the optimal range of the fitting clearance
between the valve spool and the valve sleeve.
2. The Mahr cylindricity meter imported from Germany, through
EasyForm software, the measurement results can be obtained accurately and
quickly. With the help of the software, the workpieces can be quickly adjusted
and aligned to improve the measurement efficiency and make the accuracy of each
gap consistent.
3. AAK is the hydraulic valve
supplier of 7 world top 500 enterprises, its service has been verified for a long time,
both in terms of delivery date and manufacturing quality.
AAK
hydraulic pressure control valves, high precision, long life, you can also try
it!
Caleb
is from a hydraulic equipment company in Canada, and has cooperated with AAK on
several high requirements of hydraulic relief valves, but he is not satisfied
with the price of AAK. In May last year, Caleb’s company produced a batch of
four column hydraulic presses, which need to purchase HydraForce standard hydraulic
relief valves with performance requirements of not less than 2 million times.
Caleb selected a hydraulic relief valve manufacturer in Ningbo and purchased
600 pcs of same model as HydraForce. 2 months after the equipment was sold, a
customer complained that the piston rod of the four column oil press vibrated
abnormally. During after sales service, it was judged that the hydraulic relief
valve was faulty. After inspection, it was found that the valve spool and valve
seat had leakage traces. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic relief
valves reported that it was an isolated case, but 1 month later, there were
more similar complaints, even the system was not under pressure, and the engineer
found that the valve spool was stuck. The boss was very angry and asked Caleb
to purchase the hydraulic relief valves of the same model and quality as HydraForce
as soon as possible. Caleb contacted more than 10 suppliers of hydraulic relief
valves and required that the quality should be benchmarked with HydraForce.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers suggested that Caleb should directly
purchase HydraForce products, because it was difficult to ensure that the
hydraulic relief valve did not get stuck and had a service life of 2 million
times. Caleb was a little worried.
After
wasting a week, Caleb contacted me and I told him that other hydraulic valve manufacturers
suggested purchasing HydraForce valves directly, which was a good suggestion.
Most manufacturers can't compare the manufacturing quality of HydraForce for
this hydraulic relief valve. AAK has more than 98% confidence. If AAK hydraulic
relief valves can not solve the abnormal vibration of the piston rod of the
four column hydraulic press or the system has no pressure, then don't waste
time on looking for manufacturers in Ningbo. After 45 days, AAK delivered 300
Hydraulic Relief Valves, and at the end of last year, another 900 pcs were
re-ordered. Last week, the PO for this hydraulic relief valves came again. I joked
that it seems that the sales volume of this equipment is gratifying. The boss
should be happy.
Caleb
said that thanks to AAK hydraulic relief valves, the hidden danger of the
equipment was solved. If only the original model of HydraForce was used, the
boss would certainly look down on him. Now the boss has started to put him in a
good position, and he will be promoted to
be purchasing manager next week.
The
manufacturing quality of AAK hydraulic relief valve can be benchmarked with
HydraForce, it is determined by the following 3 points:
1. In terms of equipment, Swiss high-precision machine tools and various
independent fixtures upgraded and modified by AAK have eliminated human errors,
and the accuracy of components is consistent, thus it is far better than peers.
2.
In terms of production control,
more than 30 years of experienced technicians are dedicated to handle the special
machines. Sometimes, they can even judge the production status by listening to
the sound of the machine only. Every production quality of the hydraulic relief
valve is engraved in their minds.
3. In terms of quality inspection, Mahr cylindricity
meter imported from Germany is used to check the quality. Through EasyForm
software, the measurement results can be obtained accurately and quickly. With
the help of the software, the workpiece can be quickly adjusted and aligned, so
as to improve the measurement efficiency and ensure that the 100% concentricity
of each hydraulic relief valve is consistent and completely free from jamming.
AAK
hydraulic relief valves, high precision, no jamming, you can also try a small
order!
Sal
is from Italy. He has been buying hydraulic cartridge valves in China for quite
a long time and is very knowledgeable. At the beginning of this year, they
developed a new hydraulic press for sheet stretching, which uses hydraulic needle
valves. Considering the exhibition time, Sal directly purchased 50 standard hydraulic
needle valves of HydraForce, and the trial run was successful, and the
reservation volume at the exhibition was also good. The boss asked Sal to try
to purchase hydraulic needle valves in China instead of HydraForce. He
contacted several hydraulic needle valve suppliers, but they were not 100% confident
about the internal leakage of 0.3cc/min. Sal selected 2 hydraulic needle valve
manufacturers with the most trust and quality.
4
weeks later, the hydraulic needle valves were installed with the equipment.
After a period of operation, the working pressure of the hydraulic press could
not be increased, resulting in the plate could not be stretched. The engineer
found that the hydraulic needle valve was abnormal, and there were leakage
traces at the fitting gap between the valve spool and the valve body. After testing
the hydraulic needle valve separately, the internal leakage was 0.5cc/min,
while the hydraulic needle valve at 0.3cc/min did not have any leakage traces,
that is, the hydraulic needle valves from those 2 hydraulic valve manufacturers
have unstable internal leakage accuracy. Sal suggested still purchasing HydraForce
standard parts, but the boss was not satisfied and asked Sal to try again. At
this time, Sal was a little worried.
Sal
saw on Google that the manufacturing quality of AAK Hydraulic Valves is
comparable to that of HydraForce. He directly sent an email to ask if AAK has
existing programming for HydraForce hydraulic needle valve. We learned that
they were stuck in the internal leakage. I told him that we had existing samples
of this hydraulic needle valve, and its internal leakage had exceeded HydraForce
standard 0.3cc/min. Sal doesn't seem to believe it and asked us to send 5
samples.
Last
week, Sal sent the PO for the first batch of hydraulic needle valves and told
that the internal leakage of AAK samples was at 0.2cc/min, the internal leakage
accuracy was 20% higher than that of HydraForce, but the price of AAK was
cheaper than that of HydraForce. The boss was surprised that he found such a strong
manufacturer AAK Hydraulic Valve.
AAK
hydraulic needle valve's ultra-small internal leakage comes from its high
accuracy. We use 3 points to benchmark HydraForce in terms of manufacturing
quality.
1. This hydraulic needle valve is processed with
OKK ultra precision machine tool and nano level CNC system, with a processing
accuracy of 0.01-0.3μm. The shape and profile accuracy is 0.003 - 0.1μm. It laid a good foundation for accuracy.
2. In terms of equipment maintenance, before machining, the
shaft accuracy is detected, and after the test data is obtained, the accuracy
is compensated to ensure the consistency of the processing accuracy of the
components. This link requires tips and engineers with at least 15 years of
industry experience.
3. In terms of accuracy
detection, the German Diatest small pore diameter measuring instrument is used
to detect the valve hole of each hydraulic needle valve. The minimum measurement
accuracy range can reach 0.1μm.
AAK
hydraulic needle valves, with internal leakage less than 20% of HydraForce, you
can also try a small order!
Smith
is from Mexico and has been smooth on purchasing hydraulic valves, but
encountered a nail when purchasing a hydraulic relief valve with a wall thickness
of less than 2mm. His boss received an order for a special hydraulic relief
valve, requiring Smith's team to complete the sample within 45 days. The wall
thickness of the valve cage of the hydraulic relief valve is less than 2mm, and
the fitting clearance of the valve cage is 0.016mm-0.02mm. Thin wall and high
precision. 4 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, 3 rounds of proofing, 30 days
passed, none of them succeeded, and the manufacturers all surrendered. The boss
is not satisfied, and the team also complains that Smith does not know how to
decline the boss, and Smith is helpless.
Smith
had to find a new hydraulic relief valve supplier himself. He consulted more
than 20 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers online and offline, but only one
was willing to try, and the others did not even have the courage to try. Smith
found AAK on Google and left a message asking: can AAK make samples for a
hydraulic relief valve with wall thickness less than 2mm? I replied directly
that AAK shipped similar hydraulic relief valves 2 years ago. Smith may have
seen hope, and directly told us that he wants AAK and another manufacturer of
hydraulic relief valves to sample at the same time. My reply: AAK likes this
kind of direct PK. If AAK hydraulic relief valve fails to meet the standard,
the test order fee will be returned.
3
weeks later, AAK sent the hydraulic relief valves. 1 week later, Smith advised that
the samples of AAK hydraulic relief valve has a wall thickness of the valve
cage less than 2mm, the cylindricity was not more than 0.01mm, the roughness Ra
was ≤ 0.2,
and the pass rate was 100%. While the pass rate of another hydraulic valve
manufacturer was 80%, Smith was surprised that the pass rate of AAK samples was
100%, and worried about the pass rate of mass production. I told him that the
standard of the mass production would be same as the samples. The processing of
this valve cage may be a hindrance for other hydraulic valve manufacturers, but
AAK mass produced it 2 years ago.
1.
Basic link: before processing, grinding the
outer circle as Φ14.3, the heat treatment shall be complete and prevent
deformation. After processing, ensure the inner hole Φ9.9, the cylindricity
shall not be greater than 0.01mm. The outer circle shall be machined to ensure
Φ14.1, and coaxiality with the Φ 9.9 inner hole is not greater than Φ 0.02.
2.
Key link: process 4 ring grooves and 6 holes
on the cage wall to ensure the size of 6 ± 0.01, and improve the requirements
of symmetrical position of holes and grooves with respect to the center line,
with the symmetry not greater than 0.025mm. Semi Fine honing the Φ 9.9 hole to
ensure the inner hole Φ 9.97, and the cylindricity is not more than 0.005mm.
3. Tips link: self made
mandrel with precise reference Φ 9.97 positioning and fine grinding of outer
circle Φ 14, and coaxiality with Φ 9.97 hole not greater than Φ 0.025. Finish
honing the inner hole to eliminate the clamping trace: smooth the hole with J95
oil stone Φ 10. The speed is 800-1000r / min to ensure the inner hole Φ 10 and
surface roughness Ra 0.2.
AAK
hydraulic relief valves, focus on details, no deformation, high precision,
welcome to try!
Giuseppe is from a hydraulic equipment company in Italy. As an old purchaser, he has been enjoying good luck. In the second half of last year, their company obtained the annual order of hydraulic power units used for the tail plate of electric vehicles, but the customer requested that the price should be reduced, and the hydraulic directional control valves used in the power unit should be reduced by 10%. The manufacturer of the hydraulic directional control valves who made the samples for them also agreed to reduce the price, but hidden trouble was brought to the quality at this time.
In the random test of the electric vehicle, the tail plate did not rise flexibly. After disassembly, it was found that the hydraulic directional control valve was stuck. The manufacturer of the hydraulic directional control valves advised that it is an individual phenomenon, but the customer does not think so. After increasing the detection ratio, some tailboards still can not be opened. The customer asked for immediate solution, otherwise the annual order would be cancelled. The boss was very angry and requested Giuseppe to solve it. Giuseppe contacted more than 20 manufacturers of hydraulic directional control valves. They either disliked the low price or could not guarantee that there was no jamming. Giuseppe at this time is under great pressure.
Giuseppe contacted me. Due to price, our cooperation is sporadic. According to the hydraulic directional control valve drawings provided by Giuseppe, AAK found that the original design caused processing difficulties and processing costs. I replied to Giuseppe that if the original design can be modified, AAK can accept the price and guarantee 100% no jamming. After 45 days, 100 hydraulic directional control valves were sent. A week later, Giuseppe sent the shipment schedule for the annual order.
8 months have passed. Last week Giuseppe informed that the customer wanted to ship the last batch of hydraulic directional control valves in advance. After using AAK hydraulic directional control valves, the customer no longer complained about the inflexible lifting of the tail plate.
The hydraulic directional control valve is 100% free of jamming, due to 3 points:
1. The hydraulic directional control valve newly designed by AAK belongs to the spool valve type. The original vertical poppet type design is replaced by the "tumbling head" type design. The original function is not changed, and can be used to compensate for the imbalance of the valve spool in the chamber. At the same time, it can effectively compensate the original high torque in the assembly process, so that the valve spool can be controlled freely. Double protection hydraulic directional control valve, without jamming.
2. AAK adopts Swiss high-precision honing machine to finish the valve spool and cage, and the accuracy is guaranteed to be within 1μm. Unstable accuracy is the root cause of the stuck hydraulic directional control valves of the original hydraulic valve manufacturer.
3. AAK Hydraulic Valve has developed no less than 500 non-standard customized hydraulic valves for 7 world top 500 enterprises. If without unique skills, it is difficult to handle.
Giuseppe privately told us that the boss attached more and more importance to him and wanted him to lead the whole procurement team because he successfully saved the annual order.
AAK hydraulic directional control valves, flexible and free of jamming, you can also try it!
A few days ago, Ren Zhengfei, President of Huawei, made an internal speech about "surviving", which affected the outside and also had a great impact. The boss of a trillion level enterprise said that the global economy will continue to decline in the future, and the domestic economy will also be grim. Subsequently, social media interpreted that large enterprises were going to survive the winter, and that small enterprises were going to die.
It seems that large enterprises catch a cold, and small enterprises must be in the late stage of cancer. What is the logic? I have always said that pessimists are right and optimists make money. In any case, pessimists who have been singing down China can hardly make money. The more optimistic you are, the more confident and powerful you will be. The more gloomy you are, the less action you will take.
For example, the sales volume of AAK Hydraulic Valve, which is less than 30 million US dollars, is a drop in the ocean. I would say that it has nothing to do with the economic environment. Those small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers have little to do with the whole country and even the global economy. Small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers should keep up their spirits, insist on manufacturing quality, focus on the subdivided hydraulic valve market, and be big fish in the small fish pond.
For those small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers whose sales have declined, please do not comfort yourself with the words of the big boss. You are not at the same level. Small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers with this spirit should wake up quickly, or they will be really unlucky.
I think that in the winter of large enterprises, the spring of small and medium-sized enterprises has come. Although the total market demand is indeed much less, because large enterprises can not support and do not participate, they release a large number of orders, and small and medium-sized enterprises happen to receive such orders. When the sky fell down, there were large enterprises. They were the first to be unlucky, and they could not be pressed on the small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. The feeling of winter may only be that the temperature has dropped a few degrees, which has no effect on the body feeling. AAK adheres to the principle of "3 axes", focuses on the manufacturing quality of hydraulic valves, promotes the marketing of AAK hydraulic valves and serves customers well. Let Internet users around the world understand the characteristics, advantages and benefits of AAK hydraulic valves, as well as the differences with small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. I think that the winter of large enterprises has ushered in the spring of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Drinking milk to supplement calcium, few people will doubt its correctness, but many doctors recommend drinking soymilk in the morning. Why do we think that the absolutely correct facts are not necessarily right or even absolutely wrong? Should we need to see things on social media? To see, the key is to have your own independent thinking. But it's not easy to think independently. Do you think you can think independently if you close the door and sit there alone? At least I'm not very confident about my independent thinking.
Think, think independently, that's right. But thinking must have a foundation of thinking. Usually, my method is to read more books, especially those classic or relatively classic books, and absorb some basic things from those books. This is several times more than independent thinking without any cognitive foundation. Therefore, while reading classic books, we should also keep pace with the times, and books closely related to the times are also essential. It's better to read the book in 20% and 80%. 20% of the classics and 80% of the books are closely related to the times.
Ren Zhengfei's theory of "surviving" is also in line with business common sense. No matter what time, the first task of a large enterprise is to "survive". Only by living can it continuously create value. Objectively speaking, it is not a bad thing to have a little pressure and worry and make people feel a little crisis. In addition, Huawei's theory of "surviving" is not pessimistic. In fact, it expresses that "I can survive and live well", which is obviously optimistic.
Small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers, it is difficult to do things, which is objective and must be admitted. Pessimists say "I don't live", optimists say "I want to live". When ordinary people complain, Sakyamuni also complains. Then why can he become a Buddha? Because in addition to complaining, he also broke the pain and enjoyed it. Small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers should, like Sakyamuni, break through hardships, seek pleasure and go their own way.
AAK has always been an optimist of small and medium-sized Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers. It is spring every day because of its strict manufacturing quality.
Bartolomeo is from Italy, and their company has developed a
hydraulic drill used in the deep sea. Bartolomeo has purchased several
customized hydraulic valves from AAK, but has not purchased any hydraulic
manifold blocks yet. Their hydraulic drilling rig has the requirements of
corrosion resistance and pressure resistance of 450 MPa for the hydraulic
manifold blocks. Bartolomeo is an experienced purchaser. He contacted more than
10 hydraulic manifold block manufacturers and asked if they were able to make
samples. Only 1 of them was willing to try. Bartolomeo felt that if only 1
manufacturer, there will be no comparison and alternative choice, so he contacted
me to ask if AAK is willing to test the hydraulic manifold blocks with another
manufacturer together. I rarely refuse such direct PK. After 35 days, we both
got the hydraulic manifold blocks pass the testing. However, the quotation of AAK
hydraulic manifold blocks was 20% higher than that of the other manufacturer,
and this PO was lost. But I'm not surprised. I feel that this PO will come
back.
9 months later, Bartolomeo suddenly asked me by e-mail whether the
hydraulic manifold blocks we made samples last time could ensure a service life
of more than 1 year. I asked him, is the service life of the hydraulic manifold
blocks of that cheaper manufacturer less than 1 year? He told the truth that
the customer complained that the surface of the hydraulic manifold block was
seriously corroded, especially there was leakage at the oil pipe interface, and
the pressure supply of the equipment was unstable. That manufacturer has
surrendered and can only guarantee the service life of 8-9 months.
I told him that the hydraulic components made by AAK last time, can
ensure a service life of more than 1 year, no matter it is used in the desert
or deep sea, whether at high temperature or low temperature, Although the price
is 20% more expensive, the service life of the hydraulic manifold blocks is
twice that of the peers. Bartolomeo sent an order for 100 hydraulic manifold
blocks the next day.
The reason why the service life of this hydraulic manifold block
is 2 times that of its peers is due to 3 points:
1. This hydraulic manifold block is made of CEJN
stainless steel imported from Sweden. Its corrosion resistance is 3-5 times
that of most steels, and its hardness can withstand 600MPa. Even the thin wall
of the through hole is not deformed under high pressure.
2. In terms of processing, the composite
tool is selected to process the bottom hole of thread, 45 °, 15 °, R0.1 chamfer
and external counterbore at the same time. In the process of one-time
processing, it can complete the combination of different processes such as
drilling, reaming, reaming, spot facing and boring, with high efficiency and
small error.
3. In terms of detection, the high-pressure manifold block
test bench independently developed by AAK can simultaneously detect the
compressive performance of different parts of the hydraulic manifold blocks.
AAK high pressure hydraulic manifold blocks, super corrosion
resistant, you can also have a small try!
Lawrence
is from Italy. He has been purchasing hydraulic components for quite a long
time, and it is relatively smooth. In the second half of last year, when
purchasing hydraulic pressure control valves with 1μm precision valve spool, he
encountered problem. Their company has developed a hydraulic shear with double
cylinder steel structure. The adjustment of the blade clearance of the
hydraulic system depends on the hydraulic pressure control valves, especially
the precision of the valve spool should be controlled within 1μm. A hydraulic
valve manufacturer that has cooperated for 5 years made the samples for this
hydraulic pressure control valve, but the scissors clearance was not sensitive.
The engineer found that the valve spool of hydraulic pressure control valve
moved abnormally. The manufacturer of the hydraulic pressure control valves has
no confidence in the improvement of the accuracy of the valve spool. 5 weeks
wasted and Lawrence had to find a new hydraulic valve manufacturer. But 1 week
later, only 1 manufacturer was willing to try samples, and he was only 70%
confident. The engineer has pushed for several times, and Lawrence is worried.
Lawrence
found AAK Hydraulic Valve in Google and left us a message: valve spool accuracy
1μm hydraulic pressure control valves, how confident? I told him that AAK had
produced 0.8μm valve spool. Lawrence immediately sent his drawing of hydraulic
pressure control valve. I suggested direct sampling. Lawrence agreed and
informed that there was another manufacturer to sample at the same time. 4
weeks later, AAK sent the hydraulic pressure control valve samples.
1 week later, Lawrence told AAK that the hydraulic pressure
control valve had high sensitivity and solved the problem of abnormal scissors
clearance. However, the samples from another manufacturer have the similar
problem to that of the original manufacturer. Their hydraulic shear equipment
is on the way to the exhibition. He wants to know how AAK can achieve the
sensitivity that other manufacturers can not. AAK hydraulic pressure control
valves, high precision, high sensitivity, due to 3 points:
1.
On the equipment, the valve spool is processed by the full-automatic grinding
machine of Japan long island Seiko. The surface of the processed valve spool is
like a mirror, with an accuracy of 0.8μm, which provides a guarantee for the
accuracy of the valve spool.
2. In terms of selection, 60Si2CrVA alloy steel pressure spring
made in Japan is selected for this hydraulic pressure control valve. Its
tensile and yield strength is at least 30% higher than that of high-end piano
steel wire pressure spring, which provides a guarantee for sensitivity.
3. In terms of
detection, the German Diatest small pore diameter high-precision measuring
instrument is used to detect the valve hole of each hydraulic pressure control
valve to ensure the consistency of concentricity and provide a guarantee for
sensitivity.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valves, triple guarantee, easy
to use, long service life, you can also try a small order.
Caleb
from Mexico, needs to purchase hydraulic relief valves suitable for seawater.
Several local hydraulic relief valve suppliers dare not quote because of the
uncertain working environment of seawater medium. Caleb had to try to find
overseas manufacturers of the hydraulic relief valves. Perhaps because there is
no overseas procurement base, there are few hydraulic valve manufacturers
willing to cooperate, which makes Caleb helpless. When he almost gave up, his
friend Ron learned his situation and suggested him to contact AAK Hydraulic Valve.
Perhaps AAK can bring him an unexpected surprise.
After
receiving an email from our old customer Ron, I learned about the dilemma that
Caleb encountered on the purchase of the hydraulic relief valves. According to
the hydraulic relief valve drawings and working environment instructions sent
by him, I told him about the strong corrosiveness, low viscosity, high
vaporization pressure and temperature difference of seawater. This hydraulic
relief valve must be corrosion-resistant, impact resistant and highly
sensitive. AAK shipped hydraulic valves for marine climate 3 years ago.
According
to the specific requirements of the hydraulic relief valve, our engineer suggested
to modify the original design. Caleb felt that AAK was different from other
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers. Our 3-step adjustment scheme is as
follows:
1.
Change raw materials and hydraulic components: replace conventional alloy steel
with corrosion-resistant alloy engineering plastics. The valve spool material
is 17-4PH, the valve cage material is PEEK, the valve body is 316L, and the
spring is Ni36CrTiA1. Even if they are immersed in seawater all year round,
they will not corrode for 365 days.
2.
Add a damper to reduce the impact
vibration of the valve. Because the density of seawater is large, but the
compressibility and viscosity are small, its vibration and impact are more
prominent than other media. Adding a damper can slow down and prolong the
service life of the hydraulic relief valve by more than 30%.
3.
The flat valve port is adopted to replace the original cone valve. Under the
same pressure difference at the valve port and the same flow rate, the opening
of the flat valve is smaller than that of the cone valve, thus improving the
pressure regulation accuracy of the valve.
After
receiving our suggestions, Caleb overturned his understanding of the hydraulic
relief valve, and even thought that AAK was incredible. After verifying with
Ron again, he realized that AAK was really different from other hydraulic valve
manufacturers. Ron told him that either you believe in AAK or you don't waste
time in Ningbo. Caleb paid the development fee with anxiety. 30 days later,
that is, in the middle of last month, AAK sent out the samples of hydraulic
relief valve. Today, we received the PO of hydraulic relief valves of US $6,600
from Caleb. In the email, he was excited to inform that the whole system has
been running for 1 month with AAK hydraulic relief valves, and there is no
abnormality. He also advised that AAK will be their only overseas hydraulic valve
supplier.
AAK
customized hydraulic relief valves, can be used in seawater for 365 days without
problem. Welcome to try it!
At
the beginning of the year, Torsten, an old customer of AAK, was in urgent need
of 200 hydraulic directional control valves and specially emphasized delivery
within 30 days. I felt Torsten was in big trouble. Torsten from the Netherlands
has cooperated with AAK for 5 years. In case of trouble, basically, he consults
me first. It turned out that their hydraulic pipe jacking machine was
complained by customers half a year after sales. During construction, the
equipment suddenly dropped. The problem was that the hydraulic directional
control valve leaked, causing the hydraulic system not to maintain pressure.
The manufacturer of the original hydraulic pressure directional control valves was
willing to replace the faulty hydraulic directional control valves for free. However,
there were more and more complaints later, and the manufacturer was helpless.
The boss was very angry and requested Torsten to re source a reliable hydraulic
valve manufacturer with a guarantee of more than 1 year service life. Torsten was
under big pressure.
According to the hydraulic directional control valve
drawing sent by Torsten, the pressure resistance is 380bar. The leakage of the
original hydraulic directional control valve is caused by wear. If there is no
wear, material selection is the key. Due to time constraints, Torsten did not ask
AAK to make samples first, but directly produce 200 hydraulic directional
control valves on-line. I think this should be Torsten's trust in AAK. After 30
days, AAK delivered 200 hydraulic directional control valves.
Yesterday, Torsten sent an e-mail to inform that it has
been 7 months since the hydraulic pipe jacking machine installed with AAK
hydraulic directional control valves, there is no complaint about equipment dropping.
I replied to him: Don't worry. The service life of more than 1 year is the most
basic line of AAK. Your boss will not criticize you any more. It is AAK's
commitment to double the service life of peers.
AAK
hydraulic directional control valves, pressure resistance 380bar, and no wear
for more than 1 year. Our valve body is made of Japanese SCM415 chromium
molybdenum steel alloy steel, whose mechanical properties are more than 70%
stronger than those of similar materials. Then carburizing and heat treatment
shall be carried out. The hardness of the valve body shall be more than HRC65,
and the wear resistance shall be more than 3 times that of the general 45 steel
to ensure no wear for more than 1 year. For the hydraulic directional control
valves with high pressure resistance and service life of more than 1 year, the
material selection is the key, but the carburization and heat treatment of the
material are the core. The reason why most hydraulic valve manufacturers dare
not use SCM415 chromium molybdenum steel alloy steel is not only the difficulty
in processing, but also the inability to control carburization and heat
treatment. There are unique skills here.
AAK
hydraulic directional control valves, no leakage, no accident, you can also try
it!
At
the beginning of this year, Samuel asked by email about the production time of
1,000 hydraulic needle valves, He specially emphasized that the technical
parameters of the hydraulic needle valves need to be the same as those samples made
before, especially the valve hole accuracy must be 100% within 1μm or less.
Samuel has been cooperating with AAK for 3 years. It is the first time that he
deliberately emphasized as such in email. After communication, I learned that
the hydraulic needle valves that AAK made samples for last time was 20% higher
than that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers, so he placed the order with another
manufacturer. However, now this batch of hydraulic needle valves have been
complained by customers that the hydraulic winch is stuck. The root cause is
that the accuracy of the hydraulic needle valve holes is uneven, and some are
less than 1μm, and some higher than 1μm. After the original hydraulic needle
valves were replaced by the manufacturer, complaints still continued. The boss
was very dissatisfied with Samuel's purchase this time and asked him to source
another hydraulic needle valve supplier.
Samuel can only get back to AAK, because the sample
accuracy of AAK hydraulic needle valve hole was 1μm or less. I told Samuel that
the shipment of AAK hydraulic needle valves has never been lower than the
sample standard. The next day, Samuel sent us the PO of 1,000 hydraulic needle
valves. After 45 days, AAK delivered 1,000 hydraulic needle valves.
Last week, Samuel sent an email saying that AAK
hydraulic needle valves had been installed on the equipment for more than half
a year, and no complaint was received. His boss would rather spend 20% more
cost and must purchase the hydraulic needle valves with valve hole accuracy 1 μm
for 100%. I told him that even if AAK hydraulic needle valve is used properly
in another year, it will not get stuck.
Samuel was surprised at how AAK
ensured 100% accuracy of the hydraulic needle valve hole within 1μm? For the
control of the manufacturing quality of hydraulic needle valves, AAK's 3
characteristics lead the majority of hydraulic valve
manufacturers.
1. On the processing equipment, the valve hole is finished with the TAMIX
one-time tool walking high-speed ultra precision honing mill imported from
Japan, which is thoroughly ground without traces. In mass production, the
wear-resistant SPA tool effectively ensures the stability of processing, and
the valve hole accuracy is guaranteed to be 0.8-1.0μm and the surface roughness
reaches Ra0.2-0.3.
2. In the processing process, AAK has more than 10
years of experienced technicians with special machines and special personnel,
who have engraved the dimensional accuracy of each element in their minds.
3. In terms of processing and inspection, after the
valve hole is processed, Diatest small pore diameter high-precision measuring
instrument imported from Germany is used to accurately measure each hydraulic needle
valve hole, and the minimum measurement accuracy range can reach 0.1μm so as to
ensure that the accuracy of each product meets the standard.
AAK hydraulic needle valve, high precision, no
jamming, you can also try it!
Bahamonde is from Mexico and has cooperated with AAK on several non-standard hydraulic valves. At the beginning of this year, he was stuck by a hydraulic pressure control valve. A hydraulic crank-type lift developed by their company will appear at the exhibition in July. In order to get the test run successful as early as possible, Bahamonde found a local hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturer to make samples. The equipment commissioning was not smooth, and the fluid flow and pressure at the oil outlet of the hydraulic pressure control valve are unstable, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the hydraulic crank-type lift and unstable operation control. The original manufacturer said that the sample was based on the original design. Maybe there are defects in the original design. Bahamonde had contacted several local hydraulic valve manufacturers one after another, but none of them were willing to cooperate in redesigning the hydraulic pressure control valve and making samples. As the exhibition period was about to arrive, Bahamonde was very worried.
Bahamonde thought of AAK because we had the experience of modifying their original design before. According to his hydraulic schematic diagram and the design of the original hydraulic pressure control valve, our engineers have a basic idea after discussing, but it takes time. Bahamonde told me that he could give me 50 days at most. After 3 times of design adjustment and 6 times of simulation, a new design scheme was determined. After 45 days, 30 samples of hydraulic pressure control valves were sent out. 2 weeks later, Bahamonde told me that the test was successful, and asked me to wait for the good news of their exhibition.
Last week, Bahamonde placed an annual order of 1,200 hydraulic pressure control valves, and also mentioned that their hydraulic crank-type lift was very popular during the exhibition. Their engineers admire our technical team's brainy thinking. AAK made it successful this way:
For this hydraulic pressure control valve, we changed the structure of the balance cone valve to the balance plunger type, which can let the pressure, connect the control working port and the pilot control port, control the fluid flow and pressure at the oil inlet, and conduct pilot control at the pilot port. At the same time, the hydraulic pressure control valve acts as the main stage of pressure control. The pilot flow of the valve is very small but the flow capacity is very strong, so the circuit design is flexible. And the newly designed hydraulic pressure control valve can integrate all pressure control circuits with external control functions, such as external control opening, external control closing, multi-stage pressure setting, etc., into the circuit, improving the stability of operation control. Most of the hydraulic valve manufacturers mainly produce standard parts and have no original design capacity. For the non-standard hydraulic valves, basically, they cross the river by feeling the stones.
AAK hydraulic pressure control valve, accurate positioning and high stability, you can also try it!
Some customer left a message to AAK: is AAK a hydraulic valve brand? I answered: AAK Hydraulic Valve has no plan to spend time on becoming a brand, but insist on working hard on building trust.
The hydraulic components of small and medium-sized enterprises, whether they are hydraulic valves, coils, hydraulic valve blocks or hydraulic manifolds, are not brands in essence, but network trust. Hydraulic valve counterparts, don't be confused by the word "brand". Although many bosses really want to make a brand, they first encounter the hurdle of "trust". If they can't pass this hurdle, how can they get a brand? I always suggest that hydraulic valves should be made stronger rather than bigger.
The guiding principle of brand building is to build trust, and only trust on the network. Don't think about the trust on the ground channel at all. Only the network can cover the whole world with the lowest cost. In a sense, as long as we insist on high-quality hydraulic valve content output every day, we can achieve global network trust.
However, it is difficult to insist on writing the contents of hydraulic valves every day. What is more difficult is to write the contents of hydraulic valves that are "related to users" and "beneficial to users". There are too few people who are good at writing long and short essays. It's not that anyone who can write an article can write an essay. An article and an essay are two different things. Don't talk about essay. Even the title of an essay will embarrass 99% of the people.
I saw the short video of the hydraulic valves made by my counterparts. I could only sigh. If you don't want the quality of the content, it's very simple to shoot the hydraulic valve video. You can pick up your mobile phone and say a few words of correct nonsense. Shout a few words “come and buy it”. Who can't, but is it useful? Anything done for the sake of doing is meaningless.
It's difficult to be a brand of hydraulic valves. It's really difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to be a brand. The first thing they encounter is the talent barrier. This barrier is not easy because you need to recruit 5 talents, not a worker. After passing the talent barrier, we also need to pass the hydraulic valve marketing barrier. The content should be planned. We should not write what we think and shoot what we think. The content is not systematic and cannot be played.
For hydraulic valves, it is relatively simple to build network trust than to build brands. 5 knowledgeable personnel are in place, the content is well planned, and the promotion is carried out on a daily basis. Benchmarking the quality of international first-class brands, such as SUN, HAWE and HydraForce, to make the hydraulic valve manufacturing quality products. The devil of the product is always in the details. The details are all matters that require attention.
There is an old saying in China that we should learn from time to time. Learn is practice. Deliberate practice is output. Only learning without output means understanding or knowing, but it is useless to understand and know. Only when you can do it can you really get it. In AAK Hydraulic Valve, whether you are the technician in the workshop, the QC of the production line, the gatekeeper of the procurement, the technical team or the sales team, we all insists on deliberate practice. We know what today, we know why, and we will know how tomorrow. All of them lay the foundation for trust.
Davis comes from a hydraulic equipment company in the United States. He has cooperated with AAK for 4 years, and it is very smooth. It is strange that since an inquiry of hydraulic pressure control valves in the second half of last year, there has been no new inquiry from him, only the reorders of some hydraulic cartridge valves. At the beginning of August, Davis asked about the production time of 200 hydraulic pressure control valves, and only then did we know that why he did not place orders for new valves for a long time. In the second half of last year, he found a hydraulic valve manufacturer whose price was more than 20% cheaper than that of AAK, so he moved the business to that manufacturer. But now troubles come out one after another, the boss is very dissatisfied, and he is under great pressure.
The most troublesome thing is that a three grip electro-hydraulic horse pulling equipment is weak in grasping due to the leakage of the hydraulic pressure control valve. However, the manufacturer of the original hydraulic pressure control valve prevaricated, and the high frequency of use of the equipment caused the wear of the valve body, and even refused to replenish the goods. Davis regretted his death. He caused big trouble for the first time because of the 20% price difference, but he returned to Aak. In the past four years of cooperation, there was no complaint. In order to help Davis get out of the predicament as soon as possible, the production arrangement of the workshop was adjusted. Two weeks later, 200 hydraulic pressure control valves were sent out. Davis also sent me the drawings of other valves from this low-cost manufacturer, and asked me to start preparing.
Aak hydraulic pressure control valve is wear-resistant and leak free, which is ahead of most manufacturers in three aspects, which is also an important three points to ensure the performance of 2 million times.
In terms of materials, Aak adopts German 20crni2mov high carburized bearing steel. Through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low temperature tempering process, its microhardness is 237 ~ 247hv, and its wear resistance is 3 times higher than that of similar steels. Most manufacturers may choose materials, but they may not do a good heat treatment.
On the equipment, Aak uses the Japanese np520x-f full-automatic grinder to finish the valve core. The surface of the processed valve core is like a mirror with an accuracy of 0.8 μ M U.M, the flexibility of the valve core is improved by at least 2 times. Most hydraulic pressure control valve manufacturers can not process the same valve core.
In terms of detection, Aak uses the German diatest small pore diameter measuring instrument to close each valve hole of the hydraulic pressure control valve, and the measurement accuracy range can reach 0.1 at least μ m. Ensure the concentricity of the valve hole is consistent, and most manufacturers use factory sampling inspection.
Davis privately told that the boss was very happy with Aak's help regardless of past grievances, and was also satisfied with Davis's ability to deal with unexpected problems.
Aak hydraulic pressure control valve has a performance of 2 million times. You can also have a small test!
Sumarokov comes from Russia and has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic valve blocks for 7 years. His boss also thinks highly of him. At the beginning of the year, Sumarokov needed to purchase a hydraulic valve block for use in a hydraulic tractor. He took samples from local hydraulic valve block manufacturers, and the test run was smooth. But he didn't expect that 1 month after the sale of the hydraulic tractors, some customers complained that the equipment was unstable and there was leakage at the hydraulic valve block aperture, but the original hydraulic valve block manufacturer thought that it had nothing to do with their hydraulic valve blocks. There were more and more complaints from customers, but the original manufacturer did not cooperate, and Sumarokov had a big headache.
On B2B, Sumarokov saw many articles about hydraulic valve blocks from AAK and left us a message: can you ensure that every valve hole of hydraulic valve blocks is processed without deviation? I guessed that the machining accuracy of the holes of the hydraulic valve blocks he purchased was uneven. After communication, I learned that he was in trouble. I told him that most hydraulic valve block manufacturers use 5 processes of drilling, reaming, spot facing, reaming and grinding to process the valve holes. The hidden trouble is that in the process of hole reaming and grinding, the expansion of the orifice is not easy to control, and the aperture may not be absolutely consistent.
I suggested Sumarokov directly trying AAK samples of the hydraulic valve blocks. Whether AAK can do it well or not, it does not depend by mouth. You can tell by the samples directly. Sumarokov accepted my proposal and paid for the development cost. After 25 days, 40 hydraulic valve blocks were sent out to solve the customer's complaint first. Last week, Sumarokov said in an email that it has been 3 months since AAK hydraulic valve block was installed on the hydraulic tractor, and there is no complaint of leakage.
The hydraulic valve block looks simple, but in the processing of valve holes, the processing technology needs to be determined according to different accuracy requirements, not simple drilling, reaming, spot facing, reaming and grinding. AAK is different and lead most hydraulic valve block manufacturers with 3 points.
1. Choose the reamer. For the processing of the valve hole of this hydraulic valve block, we use the reamer made of 50W6MO5G4V2A1 material with hardness of HRC66 instead of the conventional W18Cr4V.
2. In terms of equipment, we use a high-precision machining center imported from Switzerland. The roughness of the processed hydraulic valve block valve hole can reach Ra value of 0.8-0.4μm. The ovality circle error and taper error can be controlled within 0.01-0.02mm, and the valve hole size accuracy can be controlled within 0.01mm.
3. In terms of processing technology, it is processed by 5 links: drilling, reaming, rough reaming, fine reaming, and no edge reaming and squeezing. The increase in the outer diameter of each link is controlled at 0.02mm, and kerosene is used for cooling in the processing process. The cutting amount is strictly controlled, and V = 2m / min and F = 0.3mm/n are implemented.
AAK hydraulic valve block, processed with good tricks and Swiss leakage free seal technology, you can have a small try!
Renzo is from Italy. As an old purchaser of the company, he has been doing very well before. The hydraulic directional control valves purchased at the beginning of last year distressed him. One of their high-pressure hydraulic supports had leakage due to corrosion of the hydraulic directional control valves 6 months after sales, resulting in instability of the support. The original hydraulic directional control valve manufacturer thinks that the corrosion is caused by the extreme working environment and cannot be completely improved. Renzo realized that trouble was coming and began to contact the new hydraulic directional control valve manufacturers. However, after 2 weeks, no hydraulic valve manufacturer guaranteed that it would not corrode for 1 year in an environment with high sulfur and wax oil content and low temperature, Renzo was worried.
Renzo found AAK hydraulic valves in Google and left us a message: can you produce hydraulic pressure control valves that can guarantee non corrosion in extreme environments for more than 1 year? I told him that it depends on the working environment and the drawing requirements of the hydraulic directional control valve. According to the information provided by Renzo, after 1 day of discussion, AAK technical team is 90% confident to be successful. Maybe Renzo had no choice, and paid the development fee the next day.
Material selection is the key to solve corrosion. After 3 times of material selection and 6 times of testing, AAK technical team completed and sent 24 samples of hydraulic directional control valves 60 days later. Last week, Renzo informed by email that it had been 10 months since their hydraulic support was installed with AAK hydraulic directional control valve, and there were no complaints of corrosion and leakage. I told him to be relieved that there would be no complaints within 1 year.
Why did the AAK hydraulic directional control valve is corrosion-resistant for more than 1 year, while the other hydraulic valve manufacturers failed in 6 months?
Monel 400 alloy steel is selected for this hydraulic directional control valve. The material is based on nickel metal, and copper, iron, manganese and other elements are added. Its corrosion resistance is more than 3 times that of conventional steel, especially in the geological exploitation of high sulfur and high wax oil reservoirs. At the same time, its mechanical properties have been improved by more than 30%, and it is friction resistant in low temperature environment. Besides, Monel 400 alloy steel has another feature, which is not easy to produce stress corrosion cracks, and is mostly used in aerospace, marine and oil and gas industries. Although the material cost is 2-3 times higher, AAK needs to choose the best option. Even if it's 2-3 times more expensive, still choose the best. Because AAK can't make things that are not good enough, let alone supply them to consumers.
AAK hydraulic directional control valves, material selection with heart, you can also have a small try!
Bauer has been working in K & G
company in Brazil for 6 years. His boss always trusts his work. Bauer and AAK have
cooperated for 2 years. Two years ago, the marketing of a hydraulic windlass
developed by K & G company focused on the selling point of "no repair
in 1 year". However, 10 months after sales, some users complained that the
windlass could not rise when it was just started. The problem lies in the
leakage of the hydraulic relief valves. Per the manufacturer, some hydraulic
relief valves had deviation during assembly, he was willing to replace the
hydraulic relief valves for free. But after a few months, the same problem
continued. The boss was dissatisfied, and Bauer felt the pressure and checked
with other manufacturers of hydraulic relief valves, but still no solution. Bauer
began to worry.
Bauer emailed me to ask why the
hydraulic relief valve leaks? This is a system problem. I suggested that he
send us the drawings of the hydraulic relief valve, the hydraulic principle of
the hydraulic windlass, and the actual samples of the leaked hydraulic relief
valve. Our engineer disassembled the original hydraulic relief valves and found
that the contact surface between the poppet and the valve body was worn. The
leakage was caused by the weak impact resistance of the valve spool. I told
Bauer that because the working condition of this hydraulic windlass is a little
special, it has high requirements for the hydraulic relief valve, especially
for the impact resistance of the valve spool. The manufacturing quality of the
original hydraulic valve manufacturer is not poor, and the deficiency lies in
the valve spool, which can be improved. Bauer had no confidence in the original
manufacturer and asked AAK to replenish 50 hydraulic relief valves. After 45
days, AAK sent out the hydraulic relief valves and promised "no repair in 1
year".
Last week, Bauer informed AAK by
e-mail that for those hydraulic windlasses installed with AAK hydraulic relief
valves, the customers no longer complained about abnormal starting. Bauer
admired AAK for not only finding the "cause" but also fitting the
right medicine to the case. He was relaxed and the boss was satisfied. In fact,
it is not how strong AAK is, but the inertia thinking of many hydraulic valve manufacturers.
They seldom consider the difference of hydraulic working conditions when
deciding which hydraulic components to fix. AAK insists that every hydraulic
relief valve is a new subject, from material selection to production.
AAK uses 3Cr3Mo3W2V hot working die
steel for this hydraulic relief valve spool, its mechanical stress is unique
among many steels. Its hardness, strength and wear resistance are more than
twice that of conventional valve spool materials, and it also has good thermal
fatigue stability and corrosion resistance. Although it is difficult in the
processing link, AAK still needs to choose the most suitable steel, even if the
processing cost is 2-3 times higher. Because AAK can't make things that are not
good enough, let alone supply them to consumers. Only in this way can we ensure
that the hydraulic relief valve will not be impacted and eroded under special
working conditions, and ensure the performance of 2 million times.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, with a
performance of 2 million times long service life, welcome to have a small try!
Bernardo comes from a hydraulic
winch manufacturer in Brazil, and has cooperated with AAK several times on non-standard
customized hydraulic cartridge valves. At the beginning of last year, Bernard
company needed to purchase hydraulic flow control valves for a batch of
hydraulic winches. Due to cost pressure, the boss asked Bernard to reduce the
procurement cost of hydraulic flow control valves by 10%. This hydraulic flow
control valve needs to be the same as HydraForce standard part. After a round
of sourcing, Bernard determined the manufacturer of the hydraulic flow control
valve. 7 months after the sale of the hydraulic winch, a customer complained
that the sealing ring of the hydraulic flow control valve was broken, resulting
in leakage, which caused the hydraulic winch to rise powerlessly. 6 months
after the original manufacturer replaced the sealing ring with new one, the old
problem happened again. The customer complained directly to the boss, who asked
Bernard to replace all the hydraulic flow control valves within 1 month and
asked the original manufacturer to bear the costs. However, the original
manufacturer could not reach an agreement. Bernard was caught in the middle. He
was embarrassed for 2 weeks and made no progress. The boss was very
disappointed with him.
Bernard
sent me an email asking about the time and cost of re producing the hydraulic
flow control valves. He wanted to pay for it himself. According to the
hydraulic flow control valve drawings he sent, I realized that maybe only
replacing with durable O-ring could solve his embarrassment. I sent him 10
O-rings for matching tests. A week later, Bernard told me that AAK O-rings
could be matched with the original manufacturer's hydraulic flow control valves.
He asked me to send 500 O-rings to Brazil as soon as possible, and he could
finally have a good sleep.
Last
week, Bernard sent an e-mail to express his thanks. All these hydraulic flow
control valves have been assembled with AAK O-rings. It has been more than a
year, and there has been no complaint of leakage caused by the rupture of the
sealing ring of the hydraulic flow control valves. The boss also praised him
for solving big losses with small money.
AAK's
O-ring has 3 strengths: no sloughing, no extrusion and wear resistance. The
material and structure of the seal ring directly affect the performance of the
seal ring. The hardness, extrusion resistance, tensile strength and deformation
of the material all determine the service life of the seal ring, and the structure
of the seal ring also determines the sealing effect. AAK selects Japan's
special PU polyurethane rubber sealing ring, and the lip compression of the
sealing ring is strictly controlled between 15% ~ 20%. The wear resistance and
high pressure resistance of this seal ring are more than 3 times that of other
nitrile rubber seals. Most hydraulic flow control valve manufacturers choose
nitrile rubber sealing ring, which is easy to be dislodged or extruded to cause
wear. For high-frequency working conditions, the durability is 9 months at most.
AAK
hydraulic flow control valve, the O-ring used has 3 strengths and no leakage,
you can also have a small try.
Milan from the Netherlands is an old customer of AAK. He purchased many non-standard customized hydraulic counterbalance valves from AAK. In March this year, Milan asked by email: can AAK design hydraulic counterbalance valves to reduce the energy consumption of equipment? It was learned that a hydraulic elevator developed by their company focused on the selling point of "low energy consumption and high efficiency", but after equipment commissioning, the energy consumption was not as good as expected and could not be promoted to the market. Their engineer knew that it was the problem of the hydraulic counterbalance valves, but there was no improvement after making efforts for several times. Milan contacted a number of hydraulic counterbalance valve manufacturers, but there was no gain. He was very anxious.
According to Milan's hydraulic schematic diagram and the original design drawing of the hydraulic counterbalance valve, AAK engineers analyzed that the problem really lies in the control of the hydraulic counterbalance valves. AAK can redesign the hydraulic counterbalance valve with 90% confidence. Milan seems to have no better choice. He paid $2,000 development fee. After 50 days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic counterbalance valves.
Last week, Milan sent an order for 600 hydraulic counterbalance valves. At the same time, he informed that based on AAK newly designed variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve, their engineer adjusted the working conditions of the equipment, improved the hydraulic principle, and saved more than 30% of the energy consumption of the hydraulic elevator. The promotion at the exhibition was also very smooth, the booking was hot, and their whole team was happy. But I'm a little unhappy. The price of Milan's regular order has dropped by 40% compared with the trial order. I told him that you can't let me "earn some money from selling cabbage with the heart of selling Heroin". Milan may also be amused, and directly revised it to the original price, only stressing the need to ship on time.
How do AAK engineers design variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valves? In fact, it is simply based on Milan's energy consumption pain point, fight to the end. The variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve is an innovation from the mechanical structure of the valve, which utilizes the characteristics of variable pilot ratio and pilot pressure. When stable, a low pilot ratio is used, and when unstable, a high pilot ratio is executed. Compared with the conventional standard hydraulic counterbalance valves, the pilot pressure required for full opening can be 30% lower under the same pressure and flow. At the same time, AAK's variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve can keep the oil cylinder and motor moving more smoothly and quickly. Compared with the original hydraulic counterbalance valve, the energy consumption can be reduced by 30%.
Milan privately told that as long as the purchase of the hydraulic counterbalance valve was successfully completed this time, he could be promoted.
AAK variable pilot ratio hydraulic counterbalance valve, energy saving 30%, you can also have a small try!
Today, I want to make a plan, whether it is the marketing of hydraulic valves or the innovation of hydraulic valve production process. This is a definite action, but after the action is done, is it sure that it will pay off? This is a contradiction. More than 90% of people spend every day in this similar contradiction.
More than 90% of people linger in contradictions. What to do on this day? Do certainty, uncertainty, or other things? But there is only one most important thing every day. For example, according to the short board theory of a wooden barrel, the height of water that a wooden barrel can hold depends on the shortest board. Should we make up for the short board immediately? Some people say that instead of making up for shortcomings, we should focus on the long board, do what we are best at, and do it easily. Who should we listen to?
More than 90% of the people spend the day in contradiction, so do I. In fact, people are most vulnerable to the herd effect. Many of us deal with things every day in a perfunctory way when we go to work. At least 70% of us deal with it perfunctorily. This is because we are not active. In the hydraulic valve factory, for example, what steel has not yet arrived, what equipment is good, and what requirements are so high, his mind is always passive. Or, these passive ones occupy 70% of his time in a day.
It's easy to be at a loss when you deal with the current things perfunctorily, it looks like that this is right and that is also right. You also want to do something actively, maybe you can start to do a little, but you can't persist, and then go back to the old situation. If people have knowledge but don't take action, then this knowledge is just bragging. Maybe it has flattered society, but people themselves have not improved. Then they feel good about themselves, which forms this strange circle.
How can we break the circle? In AAK hydraulic valve, I cycle myself, practice and construct my hydraulic valve system again. One is practice and the other is hydraulic valve knowledge. Practice is hands-on, such as writing tweets and taking videos of hydraulic valves. From materials, equipment, process, technology, production line, quality inspection, pick it up again and go again.
Although I am also in contradiction, I will rebuild the knowledge system of hydraulic valves in a cycle and go through another cycle. What are the advantages of this? Reconstruction and circulation, improve the brain. Practice should be consolidated, not to extend one's own knowledge, but to cycle knowledge and change the neural law of the brain. For example, in the practice of hydraulic valve system, write tweets, write every day, rebuild every cycle, and recycle every cycle. What is the essence of "Skill comes from practice"? Deliberate practice, repeated practice. People do things according to the rules of the brain. Do you think you can violate them? It's impossible. Since it's impossible, we should control our actions, thoughts, skills and knowledge according to the law of the brain. As a hydraulic valve manufacturer, your hydraulic valve innovation skills, technology upgrading skills, workshop management skills, continuous repetition and continuous circulation.
Although we are in contradictions every day, we can still do something that can be determined. In a broad sense, it is something that returns. Some people say Kevin is very capable. In fact, whether you are competent or not is the difference in your behavior consciousness. If you have the idea of "having to do it" or "having to do it, then do it", you will be slow to move, with average results and worse personal growth. I insist on "I want to do, do it and doing it well". If you persist longer, the effect will be better. This is the essential difference between "want to" and "have to".
I insist that in the hydraulic valve system, practice, repeat and recycle. In this way, my brain can push me forward with strength, and my brain will become more and more useful. I came from an engineering background. After I learned a skill, I practiced it repeatedly and deliberately in real combat until I became a skilled worker. Such a disadvantage is that my thinking is trapped at the bottom of the well and I become a frog at the bottom of the well. Fortunately, I woke up early and involved some books in the arts, such as economics, history, politics and philosophy. These gradually pulled me out of the well and made me more comfortable in how to "sit at the bottom of the well", and how to "climb out from the bottom of the well".
In daily work, we are almost always controlled by invariance. In fact, we are not intentionally unchanged, but controlled by the shortcut keys of the brain. This kind of reincarnation controlled by the brain's nerves has always made struggling people reincarnate in their minds, and salted fish can hardly turn over. At this moment, perhaps we all understand that there are only 2 reasons why things can not be done well: 1. Do not know the method. I know the method, but I don't know how to insist.
AAK hydraulic valve adheres to the difficult road, adheres to the “stupid” Road, and is not afraid of going far.
Quentin is from Italy. He is a new
purchaser of a company which has cooperated with AAK for 4 years. He is very
aggressive, but the first purchase of hydraulic relief valves overturned. At
the beginning of this year, a batch of excavators of their company needed
hydraulic relief valves, which were standard parts of HydraForce. Quentin asked
more than 10 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, and chose one manufacturer
that is 60% cheaper than HydraForce to place an order. Six months later,
trouble began. A customer complained that the oil pipe of the excavator burst.
The engineer realized that it was not just the problem of replacing the oil
pipe. It was found through inspection that the hydraulic relief valve was
sluggish during operation, resulting in the instantaneous formation of peak
pressure in the system, which caused the oil pipe to burst. The inner wall of
the valve hole of these hydraulic relief valves was worn. However, the
manufacturer of the original hydraulic relief valves said that it was caused by
the unclean hydraulic oil, which had nothing to do with them. Quentin was
afraid to take responsibility and dared not report to his boss.
Quentin was very nervous. He contacted
several manufacturers of hydraulic relief valves, but no gain. Carter, another
old purchaser, saw that he was at a loss and suggested that he has a try with
AAK hydraulic valves. Quentin emailed me and asked if the program of this HydraForce
valve was available. Only then did I know that his first purchase of hydraulic
relief valve was not smooth. I sent him the pictures and technical parameters
of the hydraulic relief valve. The next day, he asked me to deliver 50
hydraulic relief valves first to solve customer complaints urgently.
Two weeks later, Quentin informed that
the replacement work was completed and the excavator could work. Quentin said
that although the price of AAK is 30% higher than that of the original
manufacturer with hidden quality problems, it is still 30% cheaper than that of
HydraForce, and the surface treatment of AAK hydraulic relief valve is more
textured than that of HydraForce. I told him that AAK hydraulic relief valve
not only has the appearance value, but also has the performance of no less than
2 million times.
The
reason why AAK hydraulic relief valve can be compared with HydraForce is that AAK
insists on selecting the most suitable steel, even if the processing cost is
2-3 times more expensive, it should also choose the best. AAK can't do anything
that is not good enough, let alone give it to users. We always adhere to the
following 3 points:
1. The material
selection is "cleanliness". The A + material is used to replace the A
material of the standard part. For example, 3Cr3Mo3W2V is used to produce the
valve body of this hydraulic relief valve. Compared with similar steels, its
hardness, strength, wear resistance and toughness have all improved to a new
level. It ensures the impact resistance of the hydraulic relief valve during
the working process of the system, and stands guard for the performance of 2 million
times.
2. The selection of
equipment is "guaranteed". The valve hole of the hydraulic relief
valve is precision machined with Swiss high-precision honing machine, and the
accuracy of the valve hole can reach 1.0μm, while most manufacturers of
hydraulic relief valves are in the range of 2μm.
3.
For surface treatment, AAK insists on using galvanized nickel alloy to replace
the galvanized treatment of HydraForce. It is not only beautiful, but also
textural.
Quentin
told me in private that in his conversation with me, he was more determined to
do a good job in purchasing. This time, he solved the customer's complaints in
time, and his boss was happy to see him.
AAK
hydraulic relief valve surpasses its domestic counterparts and benchmarkes with
HydraForce. You can also have a small try!
Peter
is from Australia. One of his old customers wanted to purchase a special hydraulic
flow control valve. Peter realized that the valve hole of this hydraulic flow control
valve has high accuracy and is difficult to process. If the surface roughness
and cylindricity error cannot be well controlled, it is easy to cause the valve
spool to be stuck. As expected, he contacted more than 20 hydraulic flow control
valve manufacturers in 3 days, but none of them was confident. The customer has
urged the quotation twice, and now even the manufacturer can't be determined.
Peter was very worried.
Peter wanted to find
more hydraulic flow control valve manufacturers in different countries online
this time. He accidentally found AAK hydraulic valves and stayed on AAK website
for about 20 minutes. With the attitude of trying, he sent me an email. After
communication, we learned that his customer was pushing urgently and he needed
AAK to quote asap. I didn't make an offer the next day. Maybe Peter thought AAK
had surrendered. Later, I told him that most hydraulic valve manufacturers
still use traditional processing methods to process the valve hole of this
hydraulic flow control valve. According to the requirements of the drawing
parameters, they also know that the surface roughness is a threshold. For
example, the abrasive particles are easy to be embedded in the workpiece
surface, and the cutting is not easy to be separated from the grinding oil,
resulting in poor cleanliness of the grinding oil. All these affect the surface
roughness.
AAK realized this
processing pain point as early as 4 years ago and adopted rolling technology to
replace the traditional cutting method. I suggested that he communicate with
the customer and let AAK directly test the sample. If the sample is successful,
it will be quoted. If the sample fails, AAK will bear the development cost. On
the 3rd day, Peter accepted my suggestion. After 35 days, 12 samples of
hydraulic flow valves were sent out. About 2 weeks later, Peter said that his
client confirmed AAK's hydraulic flow control valve. At this time, Peter
realized the advantages of AAK and thanked me very much, which helped him face his
old customer.
Rolling technology and
cutting processing are completely 2 different processing methods. AAK tried,
solidified and mass produced it 4 years ago. Roll the metal surface with
rollers, flatten the convex part of the surface, and bulge the concave part,
and then process it into a smooth mirror like surface. The most important thing
here is the rolling details. The surface roughness of the valve hole processed
by the old experienced technicians will be increased to nearly 1% compared with
the surface roughness after grinding, so that RA is 0.10 ~ 0.15, and the
cylindricity error is controlled within 0.003. After work surface hardening,
the wear resistance is improved, and the fatigue strength can be increased by
30%. There are many advantages, but there are not many manufacturers of
hydraulic flow valves using this process, and even fewer can control the
details.
3
days later, Peter sent the PO for the hydraulic flow control valve. He told me
that the stone hanging in his heart finally fell, and the meal was more
delicious. I told him that you only need time to receive the goods. Go to the
bar when you need to, and leave the rest to AAK.
AAK
hydraulic flow control valve, has unique skills with special requirements. You
can also have a small try.
Gonzalo
comes from Spain and has been purchasing hydraulic valves from Chinese
manufacturers for 3 years. At the beginning of last year, they developed
hydraulic gantry shears and needed to purchase hydraulic cartridge relief
valves. The engineer directly purchased German HAWE standard parts, and the
prototype was commissioned and purchased. The boss asked to reduce the purchase
cost to match the market price of similar equipment. After comparing prices,
Gonzalo selected a hydraulic relief valve manufacturer in Ningbo. 6 months after
the equipment was sold, the customer complained that the hydraulic gantry shear
was weak. During after sales service, the valve spool of the hydraulic relief
valve was found to be worn and could only be replaced. The original
manufacturer fed back that the service life of the hydraulic relief valve under
450bar high-pressure working condition was normal for 6 months. The boss was
not happy. Gonzalo was under pressure.
His engineer said that the service
life of the HAWE hydraulic relief valve was no less than 1 year. Gonzalo
contacted more than 10 hydraulic relief valve manufacturers, they could not
bear high pressure or can not guarantee a service life of more than 1 year.
Gonzalo found AAK in Google's China hydraulic valve manufacturers list. When he
learned that AAK had engineer from HAWE, he saw hope. According to his
hydraulic relief valve drawing, it is not too difficult, just needs to be high
pressure resistance and performance.
Because we have no program for this
HAWE hydraulic relief valve, we need time to develop it. After 45 days, we
delivered 80 samples of hydraulic relief valves, and told Gonzalo that if you
replace those complained hydraulic relief valves with AAK's, you will have no
pressure. A few days ago, Gonzalo sent an email. It has been proved that AAK's
hydraulic relief valves can last for 1 year under high pressure of 450bar, more
than twice as long as that of the original hydraulic valve manufacturer.
In the subdivision field of high pressure resistance, AAK
hydraulic valve manufacturing quality benchmark is HAWE, because HAWE is the No
1 of this field. We mainly focus on 3 points. It may be difficult to find the
second one, from more than 200 hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo.
1. Strict selection of materials: YG8
cemented carbide is selected for the valve spool of this hydraulic relief
valve, and the content of tungsten carbide (WC) and binder cobalt (CO) is the
best of the same kind of steel. The wear resistance and impact resistance have
been improved by more than 2 times. Under the pressure of 450bar, there is no
wear within 1 year.
2. The control equipment: the valve spool of this hydraulic
relief valve is finely processed with a Swiss high-precision honing machine.
The precision of the valve spool is fixed at 1-2μm, surface roughness Ra0.2-0.3,
which is difficult for most manufacturers to achieve.
3. 100% testing: AAK independently developed durability
testing equipment, implemented NFPA/T2.6.1 standard, and each hydraulic relief
valve was inspected. Most manufacturers conduct selected checks and do not have
good testing equipment.
AAK hydraulic relief valve, resistant to 450bar high
pressure, durable for more than 1 year, benchmarking HAWE, you can also try a
small order!
Lateef,
from Sweden, has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic valves for 3
years and has been quite successful. Last year, however, he stumbled due to a hydraulic
pressure control valve used in a hydraulic climbing vehicle. At the beginning
of last year, their hydraulic climbing car was complained by customers that it
was unable to rise. During after sales service, it was judged that the hydraulic
pressure control valve was abnormal, and must be replaced. The original
manufacturer refused to be responsible, because it has passed the 1 year
warranty period. Lateef was embarrassed after checking, because after the
hydraulic pressure control valves were shipped from the original manufacturer
to their warehouse, their hydraulic climbing cars were delivered to the
customer 4 month later, so the equipment was still within warranty. The boss
was unhappy, Lateef was helpless. He tried to raise the warranty period of the
hydraulic pressure control valves to 24 months to source new hydraulic valve
manufacturers, but no reply from more than 10 manufacturers that he contacted.
Lateef went from helplessness to anxiety.
Lateef found
AAK on B2B and left a message on AAK website: How long is the warranty period
of hydraulic pressure control valve? I needed him to provide us drawings for
discussion. According to his hydraulic pressure control valve drawing and
working condition requirements, it is actually the standard part of SUN
hydraulics. AAK has this procedure. I asked why he requires a 24 months of
service life for the hydraulic pressure control valve, instead of requiring the
number of durability times. Then he told me the above purchasing experience and
sent me several hydraulic pressure valves from the original manufacturer. Our
engineer found during disassembly that some valve spool cylindrical surface and
conical surface, as well as the valve cage inner hole and conical surface are
not concentric, which is a problem in accuracy and affects the function. The cone
surface of some valve spool is worn, which affects the sealing, and the performance
is not up to standard. Lateef was surprised to hear this, because no
manufacturer gave him such analysis.
I
told him that AAK has a similar hydraulic pressure control valve. You can
install it on the equipment for testing. If you can install it, you should not
worry about customer complaints. He was surprised and happy. More than 10 hydraulic
valve manufacturers had no reply, but AAK could send samples directly. 2 weeks
later, Lateef informed that the hydraulic climbing vehicle equipped with AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve could work normally. He also asked about the
warranty period of the hydraulic pressure control valve. I told him that AAK
was benchmarking SUN, and its performance was 2 million times. As long as the
equipment was used no more than 2500 times a day, there was no problem in 24
months.
AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve, benchmarking SUN, adhere to 3 aspects, Lateef
is completely relieved.
1.
The material is strictly selected.
The valve spool is made of 20CrNi2MoV from Germany. The wear resistance of the
valve spool is more than 3 times that of the material used by other hydraulic
valve manufacturers. The other manufacturers may have the performance of 500,000
to 1 million times, while AAK has the performance of 2 million times.
2. The precision is strictly controlled. The valve hole
of this model is finely processed by American precision honing machine, and the
precision of valve hole of other hydraulic valve manufacturers is 0.8 μm - 1.0μm,
while AAK can be 0.6μm - 0.8μm. The precision is increased by 25% - 30%.
3. Strict inspection, equipped with a German Test high-precision measuring
instrument for small micropore diameter, fully inspect each valve hole, while
most hydraulic valve manufacturers only conduct sampling inspection randomly.
AAK
hydraulic pressure control valve, not only strict, you can also try a small order!
Evander
comes from a Greek hydraulic equipment company and has been in the company for 5
years. At the beginning of the year, the hydraulic stretching machine they
developed needed to purchase hydraulic directional control valves with large
length diameter ratio. He chose to work with a supplier for 3 years to try, and
the manufacturer reported that the length diameter ratio of the valve hole of
the hydraulic directional control valve is 20:1, and the valve hole Ra is not
more than 0.3. He is not confident, but he can try. 2 months later, the test
run was not smooth. Indeed, the hydraulic direction control valve was slow to
respond, and the manufacturer surrendered. Evander contacted more than another 10
hydraulic valve manufacturers for this hydraulic directional control valve, but
all of them are not 100% confident of doing this valve with the length diameter
ratio of 20:1. 10 weeks have passed, but the manufacturer has not been
determined yet. Evander is very worried.
Evander saw
an article of AAK on B2B about "Hydraulic relief valve with length
diameter ratio of 11:1" and left a message to AAK: Is AAK confident to do
a hydraulic directional control valve with the length diameter ratio of 20:1 and
Ra is not more than 0.3? My reply: It's right to ask AAK about the length
diameter ratio. We have produced 25:1 hydraulic check valves in mass production.
It is suggested that he send his drawings of hydraulic directional control
valve and AAK directly make samples. If the length diameter ratio is not in
accordance with the standard, the development cost will be returned. Evander is
happy and nervous. He is happy that the manufacturer has been determined. He is
afraid of wasting time.
Evander
waited for 4 weeks in fear, until his engineer told him that the processing
size and accuracy of the AAK hydraulic directional control valve were up to standard,
and the test machine was also successful, and Evander was completely relieved.
I told him that the hydraulic directional control valve with deep hole is
difficult to process. The greater the length diameter ratio, the more difficult
it is. Even if it is processed, the precision is a hidden danger. This is also
the reason why many hydraulic valve manufacturers surrender.
AAK adheres to the size accuracy, geometric accuracy and surface roughness
of the valve hole, and optimizes the processing technology. We do in the
following way, it is difficult for the general hydraulic valve manufacturers to
imitate.
1. According to the blank condition, steel properties, length diameter
ratio, determine the drill and fixture, which requires experience and skill. In
the 6 procedures of "drilling - expanding - boring - reaming - rigid
boring reaming - diamond reaming", the cutting amount and working
temperature are strictly controlled.
2. The rigid boring reamer is equipped with a guide at the front and back,
ensuring straightness, especially the internal cooling chip removal, ensuring
the surface finish of the valve hole.
3. For the processing of this hydraulic directional control valve, the tool
change frequency is 3 times of the conventional one, the geometric accuracy of
the sample is 0.002mm, and the surface Ra0.2.
AAK hydraulic directional control valve, has unique trick on valve hole
processing, high precision, you can also try a small order!
Santiago is from Spain. He has been a purchaser of the company for 3 years. His boss trusts him very much. Unexpectedly, a hydraulic counterbalance valve overturned him. In the second half of last year, one of their hydraulic cylinders was complained by the customer because of shaking. The engineer judged that the hydraulic counterbalance valve used was abnormal, but the reason was unknown. After receiving the defective hydraulic counterbalance valve, the original manufacturer found that the internal pressure spring had failed, resulting in the slow response of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. This is the best pressure spring of the original manufacturer, but it still could not withstand the impact of 450bar high pressure and high frequency. Santiago had to change the manufacturer of the hydraulic counterbalance valve. After more than a week, no manufacturer was able to guarantee that the valve would not fail under the high pressure of 450bar for more than 1 year. It had been nearly 2 weeks, and there was no solution to customer complaints. Santiago was under great pressure.
Santiago accidentally found AAK Hydraulic Valve in Google. He left a message on the AAK website asking whether the pressure spring of the hydraulic counterbalance valve would not fail for more than 1 year under the high pressure and high frequency working condition of 450bar? According to his drawings and working conditions, I told him that if the German HAWE was used, it would be 100% OK, but the quantity was too small, and HAWE would not necessarily accept it, and the cost was not low. AAK has a similar hydraulic counterbalance valve. Let's see if it can be a substitute first? 3 weeks later, Santiago informed that the AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve could be installed with their hydraulic cylinder and operated normally. But he seemed worried that it would not last long.
I told him that Germany HAWE is the first brand of hydraulic valves in the subdivision field of high pressure resistance. The function of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve benchmarks HAWE, which has been shipped for many times. The fact has proved that there is no repair report for 1 year, and the pressure spring can not lose efficacy for more than 1 year. Why dare I say so? The pressure spring of AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve is made of 60Si2CrVA alloy steel. At the same time, in combination with special heat treatment process, 60Si2CrVA pressure spring steel is heated to 860 ° c, kept for 20-40 min for austenitizing, and then subjected to short-term high-temperature water cooling quenching to room temperature. The comprehensive properties of the treated 60Si2CrVA spring steel have been improved by at least 2 times, especially the strength and toughness of the pressure spring, which quality far exceeds most springs. Most hydraulic valve manufacturers of hydraulic counterbalance valves may be able to find good materials, but they cannot do well in heat treatment.
Yesterday, Santiago sent an inquiry for another high pressure resistant hydraulic counterbalance valve and told me that the last hydraulic counterbalance valve benchmarking HAWE had been used for almost 1 year, as promised by AAK, and there was no complaint, so his boss specially requested that AAK should be the first choice of the inquiry and sample for all high pressure resistant hydraulic valves. I know that AAK has conquered another high-quality customer by virtue of its manufacturing quality.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve, benchmarking HAWE, no failure for more than 1 year, you can also have a small trial!
Yesterday, my old friend Henry left a message to me: Why can't some Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers understand my logic? This is not the first time I have heard such complaints from overseas guests. There are also many hydraulic valve peers who often joke about what the foreigner thinks. Is he from the moon?
Without same worldview as you, of course, he is not on the same channel as you. Look at the world first, then you can have a world outlook. As the old saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles means reading a group of people, reading a city or a country, not looking for similarities but feeling different. The more places you travel, the more you can understand how different people are. If you regard your little insight as 100% correct logic, how can you understand the completely opposite logic? Different countries and people have completely different views and ideas on a matter.
One time, when I was settling accounts for a US$93.00 bill at a supermarket in Vancouver, Canada, I used to pay US$100.00 and US$3.00, and I think you can give me 10 dollars. But the cashier looked at me in surprise, kept saying more, and then firmly returned US$3.00, and then pushed the $93.00 goods to me. After a long time of searching, he gave me the rest of the change US$7.00.
It was very shocking at that time. Later, I gradually understood that the way they changed their change was like this. It turns out that there are great differences in the way of thinking and living habits between people in this world. What you take for granted is completely incomprehensible to others. What you take for granted is actually just habit.
Many American universities have no doors. You can drive directly to the downstairs of the dormitory when you drive. Stanford and Harvard have no doors. In China, there are not only doors, but also gatekeepers. In Seattle, I made another mistake and waited for half an hour on the street. There was no taxi. It turns out that most Americans have cars. Taxis don't run empty on the road. You need to make an appointment. In China, taxis are readily available. If you stay in a place for a long time, you will naturally bring your habits here, and you should think that every place is the same. But New York is different. Taxis are everywhere on the streets.
The subway in Munich, Germany, has no ticket checker or gate. In China, there will be a gate to check tickets when you take the subway. There is no gate and no one checks in. Is it possible to enter without buying a ticket? It has a system that ticket inspectors will randomly check on the subway. If it is found that you have not bought tickets, you will be severely fined. Suppose the subway ticket is 3 dollars. If you are drawn, you will be fined 300 dollars, which will also affect your social reputation. It uses the heavy punishment system to stop all people who are not aware of it, instead of using the gate. This logic is a strict punishment system in the late stage, but the control cost in the early stage is low. Different countries have different cultures and different systems. The more you see, the more you can understand the difference, and the more inclusive you are, rather than complacent in your own logic.
I don't agree with you because we have different beliefs. I support you because I understand your faith. If you have this attitude, you will have a different world outlook. The significance of travel is not to find similarities, but to feel different. Every time you travel, you look at the outside world with insight, look at your heart with reflection, and then bathe in the differences of the world. Even if life is boring, don't forget to go far away. Even though hydraulic valve customers are all over the world, don't forget the different world outlook.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, walk into your world view, in your logic.
The supplier who
have cooperated for 4 years have failed to solve the problem of valve hole
deformation caused by the assembly force of hydraulic flow control valve for 4
times of proofing. After AAK changed the process, not only did the accuracy of
the hydraulic flow control valve hole reach the standard, but also the
operating efficiency of hydraulic system equipment was improved by 5%. This is
the first time for Thomas to receive such a surprise from a Chinese hydraulic
valve manufacturer.
Thomas is from a
hydraulic company in the United States. He has been in contact with me for 3
years. In addition to quoting prices and sending hydraulic valve samples
several times, he has never placed an order. I laugh at myself that fate has
not come. 3 months ago, a PO for hydraulic flow control valve worth more than
20,000 US dollars was sent to us suddenly, which scared me. It was turned out
that a supplier who had cooperated with him for 4 years, could not solve the
problem of this hydraulic flow control valve even after 4 times of proofing.
Under the assembly force of 90N • m * 4, the deformation of the valve hole
reached 0.013mm, which did not meet their accuracy requirements, and the
original manufacturer had to discuss the delivery date again because of the
several failures of the hydraulic flow control valve samples. Thomas realized
that the manufacturer had to be replaced, so he contacted AAK.
Thomas said that he
had been tracking AAK for the past 3 years because his company required that
any new supplier should have a 3-year investigation period. Every time AAK sent
samples, he would be surprised. He also looked forward to the surprise of the
hydraulic flow control valve this time - the sample time and the sample quality.
He also reminded me that several suppliers have given up to try directly before
he chose the current supplier. I realized that this hydraulic flow control valve
PO was a hot potato. If it was messed up, the fate of 3 years would be zero.
Is it a surprise or
a fright? We have to fight. The AAK technical team separated the drawings of the
hydraulic flow control valve step by step and realized that it was really
difficult to process this hydraulic flow control valve, but they also had
ideas. 3 weeks later, the master of the sample fed back that the deformation of
the hydraulic flow control valve bore was still not up to the standard.
Moreover, excessive wear of calipers and oilstones leads to low honing
efficiency, and the scrap rate reaches 3%. Even if the sample is successful,
the mass production is also a hidden danger, and the production process must be
changed. After 5 days, the master tried to pre assemble the hydraulic flow
valve body and left it for 2-3 days. Before honing, rough reaming with diamond
reamer is used to correct the roundness deviation of the valve hole of
hydraulic flow control valve due to assembly preload and creep. The whole
honing time is shortened from 210s to 60s. With the improved production
process, the production efficiency was increased by 150%, and the scrap rate
was reduced to 0.5%. After 5 weeks, 12 hydraulic flow control valve samples
were sent out.
2 weeks later,
Thomas informed by email that the technical parameters of AAK hydraulic flow control
valve had been confirmed, especially the accuracy of the valve hole, which
surprised him. For the hydraulic flow control valve that the original
manufacturer could not fix for 4 times, AAK was successful at one time. What
made his engineers more happy was that the operating efficiency of the
hydraulic system of the equipment equipped with AAK hydraulic flow control valve
increased by 5%. This is the first time to receive such a surprise from a
Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer.
AAK hydraulic flow control
valve brings only pleasantly surprise, not frightening surprise. You can also
have a small try.
Krischnan, from Greece,
has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic valves for 6 years. At the
beginning of the year, their hydraulic power unit used in military equipment
needed to purchase hydraulic pressure control valves. Krischnan selected a supplier
who has cooperated for 4 years to sample the hydraulic pressure control valve,
which is required to be leak free and free of jamming. 1 month later, the
accuracy of the hydraulic pressure control valves produced by the original
manufacturer did not meet the equipment requirements, but this has already been
the manufacturer's limit. Krischnan can only re select the manufacturer of the
hydraulic pressure control valves and specially note with specific accuracy
requirements that the cylindricity of the inner hole of the valve cage needs to
below 2μm, the surface roughness is Ra0.15. He contacted more than 10 hydraulic
valve manufacturers in 1 week, and only 2 manufacturers were willing to sample,
but they still did not meet the equipment requirements. More than 2 months of
time wasted, Krischnan became very anxious.
Krischnan found AAK at Google and left a message asking whether there
were hydraulic valves for military equipment. I was not sure about his purpose,
so I gave an irrelevant answer that AAK had supplied hydraulic valves for
aerospace 4 years ago. Krischnan sent the drawing of the hydraulic pressure
control valve the next day, emphasizing that it was used for military equipment
and reminding the machining accuracy and geometric accuracy. He seemed to be
afraid of another failure, stressed and reminded again and
again.
3 days later, I told him that we are 90% confident to be successful. If
AAK also failed on this hydraulic pressure control valve, he would not need to go
around in Ningbo again. The next day, Krischnan paid the development fee. After
45 days, AAK sent 30 samples of hydraulic pressure control valves.
At the beginning of last month, Krischnan said in an email that although
the time of AAK samples was longer than that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers,
the AAK hydraulic pressure control valve was recognized by the engineer and the
equipment commissioning was smooth. At the same time, he also sighed: after 3
rounds, only AAK was found to be able to produce the hydraulic pressure control
valves that can be used in military industry.
AAK
focuses on 3 points to control the accuracy of the valve hole in the valve cage
of the hydraulic pressure control valves:
1.
The valve cage inner hole processing process was re optimized in 6 steps: drill
the top hole with deep hole drill, vacuum quenching, rough honing, semi fine
honing, artificial aging treatment, fine honing, and the process parameters
were reset. Most manufacturers of hydraulic pressure control valves can only
achieve 3 steps: vacuum quenching, rough honing and fine honing.
2.
As for the details of honing, 0.04mm full honing allowance shall be reserved
during rough honing of inner hole to lay a good foundation for subsequent fine
honing and grasp the stress generated by honing. Here, skill is required, which
is also a key step of accuracy.
3.
More attention is paid to fine honing. An oilstone made of cubic boron nitride
is used for fine honing. After fine honing, the cylindricity of the inner hole
of the valve cage is below 1.5μm and the surface roughness is below Ra0.1μm.

Nijenhuis is from a
hydraulic equipment company in the Netherlands and has been in the company for
8 years. 2 years ago, they sold a batch of hydraulic supports for coal mining. 3
months later, they were complained that the support was unable to rise. The
technical team was surprised. The after sales personnel was shocked by the coal
mining site condition, with long oil pipes, many sockets and poor dust
prevention. There were pulverized coal, rock particles and iron filings at the
bottom of hydraulic column cylinder and valve chamber. The after sales
personnel saw the site and knew that the wear of the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valves had caused the leakage. The after sales personnel recommended
that the customer improve the working environment and replace the hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valves. This time, their engineer increased the filtration
accuracy of the system, but the newly installed hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valves went on strike again 5 months later. Their engineers blamed
Nijenhuis for the poor wear resistance of the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valves purchased. Nijenhuis was helpless.
The original manufacturer
of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves said that most hydraulic
valve manufacturers can only guarantee the service life of 3-6 months under
such working conditions. Nijenhuis did not believe it and began to find new
hydraulic valve manufacturers. A week later, more than 20 manufacturers of
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves were contacted online and offline,
and the response was similar to that of the original manufacturer. Nijenhuis contacted
me under the introduction of an old Dutch customer. When I saw the working
video of the hydraulic support and the coal mining scene, I was not sure how
long the life of the AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves would be
under that working condition. Nijenhuis seemed disappointed, thinking that AAK
had no advantage over other hydraulic valve manufacturers.
3 days later, I told
Nijenhuis that AAK could redesign this hydraulic cartridge pressure control
valve and guarantee that it would be safe for more than 1 year. Nijenhuis
probably thought I was fooling him, so he didn't reply to the email and I
didn't follow up. 1 month later, Nijenhuis came to me again and asked about the
probability of success. When he learned that AAK is 90% confident, it seemed
that he saw hope again.
After 50 days, AAK sent 30 samples of
redesigned hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. Last week, Nijenhuis
sent an email saying that it has been 10 months since he used AAK hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valves. The customer did not complain that the
hydraulic support was unable to rise. Their engineers admired our little trick.
For the design of hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve, AAK aims to solve the customer's pain points – working condition,
while most hydraulic valve manufacturers only copy the standard parts. The
working condition of the hydraulic support is special, and it is difficult to
avoid coal dust, rock particles and iron filings. However, once these materials
enter the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, any material can not
resist wear for more than 1 year. Since the working environment cannot be improved,
can it be isolated locally? AAK's little trick is that between the valve spool
and the valve seat, there is a sealing pair as the support, and the contact surface
of the sealing pair is consistent. Of course, the accuracy control here is the
core, which most hydraulic valve manufacturers cannot achieve. The intervention
of the sealing pair can not only isolate the pollution, but also reduce the
friction between the valve spool and the valve seat, thus ensuring the service
life of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves for more than 1 year.
The service life of
AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve is 2-3 times that of its peers.

At
the beginning of last year, Leander contacted me under the introduction of one
of our old customers in Greece. I learned that their company sold a batch of
large excavators to South America. During operation, the pressure supply is
often insufficient. They know that there is a problem with the hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valves, especially the valve body is obviously worn. The original
manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve was evasive and
regarded that the wear was caused by the high-frequency and high-pressure work
of the excavator, because the valve body was made of 11L44 steel, which was the
industry standard. Leander was helpless and his boss was angry. The boss asked
him to find the manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves
with durability of more than 2 million times. Leander wasted more than a week but
without any gain.
According to the drawings and working condition parameters of the hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve provided by Leander, the material selection is the key
if the service life of this hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve is more
than 2 million times. The next day, I replied to Leander that AAK was 95% confident,
I couldn't say 100%. Leander sent the trial order later.
35
days later, the trial order of the 50 pcs of hydraulic cartridge pressure control
valves were sent. More than 1 month later, Leander informed by email that AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves had been installed on the excavator.
Their engineer specially tested the performance, which can be achieved 2 million
times. I told him that AAK manufacturing quality benchmarked HydraForce, and
the performance of 2 million times is not a slogan, but a fact. Leander is
relaxed and no longer worried about customer complaints.
For
the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve with more than 2 million times,
AAK separated the peers from 3 aspects:
1.
The valve body of this hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve is made of
Japanese SCM415 steel, and its mechanical property is more than 70% stronger
than 11L44 steel. After carburizing and heat treatment, its hardness is more
than HRC66, and its wear resistance is more than 3 times higher, ensuring wear
resistance of more than 2 million times.
2. The machining of SCM415
material, is proceeded with special diamond reamer, equipped with American
precision honing machine, the precision of valve hole after finishing can be
controlled below 0.8μm, the possibility of leakage is eliminated.
3.
100%
inspection, AAK independently developed durability testing equipment, implemented
NFPA/T2.6.1 standard, and each hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve was
inspected. Most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers conduct spot checks and
do not have good testing equipment.
Leander told me privately that his boss thinks
highly of him more and more, and has suggested him take AAK as their preferred
supplier of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, with the performance of more than 2
million times, you can also have a small try!
4 hydraulic valve
manufacturers, made samples for 5 samples, but none of them were able to
produce the hydraulic cartridge check valve with a length diameter ratio of
25:1 successfully. AAK adopted a special slender shaft processing technology,
and the sample passed the testing successfully at one time, the parameters of the
hydraulic cartridge check valve were up to standard, and the surface roughness
was improved by 0.3%, and the geometric accuracy was improved by 0.8%. German
customer was satisfied.
Cheney is a senior buyer
of hydraulic cartridge valves in Germany. He is good at dealing with different
abnormal conditions of hydraulic valves, such as stuck valves, leaks,
cavitation etc. But this time, he was trapped by a hydraulic cartridge check
valve with the ratio of shaft length to diameter greater than 25. Four hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers, made samples for 5 times, spent 10 weeks, but
without any results. Compared with conventional valves, this slender shaft
hydraulic cartridge check valve has poor rigidity, easy deformation, large
vibration, difficult cutting control, and strict requirements for processing
technology. This is the root cause of the failure of most hydraulic cartridge check
valve manufacturers.
Cheney sourced for
nearly 1 week, but still no hydraulic valve manufacturer is willing to take
over. When he was browsing B2B, he saw AAK and noticed that AAK had an article
about the hydraulic valve with long length diameter ratio, so he left us a
message. After several rounds of email communication, Cheney seemed to see the
hope and sent the drawing of the hydraulic cartridge check valve to us.
2 weeks later, AAK
sent 8 samples of slender shaft hydraulic cartridge check valve. 7 days later,
Cheney emailed that the parameters of AAK slender shaft hydraulic cartridge check
valve were up to standard, its functions were normal, its surface roughness was
improved by 0.3%, and its geometric accuracy was improved by 0.8%, which
surprised their engineers. The reason why AAK succeeded in the first time is due
to following 3 points:
1. Selection of
drill bit and fixture: match the appropriate long drill bit from 3 aspects of
hardness, heat resistance and impact toughness, and adopt the clamping method
of one clamp and one top, at the same time use flexible movable center to
compensate thermal deformation elongation, so that the slender shaft can
stretch freely after being heated to avoid thermal deformation.
2. Control of
cutting amount and cutting fluid: reasonably select the drilling amount
according to the length diameter ratio. During cutting, the cutting fluid shall
be fully poured to inhibit the rise of working temperature, thus inhibiting the
thermal deformation.
3. Sharp tool
control: the tool change frequency is increased by 3 times. Effectively reduce
the friction and heat between the trolley knife and the workpiece, and control
the thermal deformation from the source.
In recent years,
AAK has successively supplied a Spanish customer with hydraulic cartridge check
valves with the same length diameter ratio, and it is repeatedly ordered 4
times a year. Although it is difficult to machine the hydraulic cartridge check
valve with long length diameter ratio, AAK has unique skills.
The slender shaft
hydraulic cartridge check valve of AAK, is purchased by a Spanish customer 4
times a year. Welcome to have a small try!
If someone asks you to write down the operation steps of "pouring the drink from the plastic bottle into the cup", 90% of people think it is simple, and 3 steps are completed: 1. Open the bottle cap. 2. Pour the drink into the cup. 3. Close the bottle cap. I read in a book by a Japanese writer that it is actually 15 steps, rather than the 3 steps that 90% of people think. Pour a drink, take 15 steps, maybe you will laugh in your heart.
Look at the decomposition action of pouring drinks by the Japanese writer:
1) Pick up the plastic bottle with your left hand
2) Grasp the cap with your right hand
3) Rotate the bottle cap anticlockwise to unscrew it
4) Put the bottle cap on the table
5) Change your right hand to hold the plastic bottle
6) Take the plastic bottle over the cup
7) Tilt the plastic bottle downward
8) Pour it to an angle that can make the drink pour out little by little
9) Restore the plastic bottle to the vertical state after pouring the drink
10) Put the plastic bottle on the table
11) Pick up the bottle cap with your right hand
12) Pick up the plastic bottle with your left hand
13) Put the bottle cap on the plastic bottle mouth
14) Turn the bottle cap clockwise and tighten it
15) Put down the plastic bottle with screwed cap
What did you think of and what should you do? Seeing this, I quickly put down my book and drank some water, it is exploration in my eyes, admiration in my heart, and details of actions.
In the workshop of hydraulic valve production, if every operation procedure of our company is more than 15 steps of the Job Manual, and it is written in such a deep and detailed way, then there will be no deviation in the staff training. No matter which operator is changed to operate, everyone is unlikely to make mistakes. I asked the production manager, production engineer, workshop director, section chief and operator of AAK Hydraulic Valve to reformulate the Job Manual of AAK Hydraulic Valve according to the 15 step beverage pouring method. They are also surprised, but they are very motivated to do this deep decomposition.
Not only in the workshop, but also in the marketing department of AAK Hydraulic Valve. In terms of marketing, promotion and sales, how to manage the behavior in a specific and detailed way, rather than some abstract and non specific instructions that cannot be executed. Those mega enterprises may say "correct nonsense", but if we imitate it, we can not even know how we “die”. The Chinese language is really broad and profound. I have seen similar workshop propaganda in other hydraulic valve manufacturers before, "strengthening communication between operators", "Learn from old technicians" and "tidy up the operation post". "Work harder on accuracy to improve customer satisfaction". At that time, I was curious about the enterprise culture of the manufacturer. Now think about it again, these can't be called "behaviors", just slogans. Slogans on the wall, is it useful? No amount of abstract words can become a workbook.
Our own personal behavior is also a reference. In our manners, behavior and other minor aspects, make up a solid lesson. Finally, we will review why it is difficult to persist in marketing and promotion. If you have never been to the seabed, how do you know about the underwater world? There are only 2 reasons for "not doing well": ① not knowing the "method". ② Know the method, but do not know "how to persist".
AAK Hydraulic Valve, not only know, but also insist.
Timothy from Italy has cooperated with AAK for 4 years.
Our first cooperation started from hydraulic manifolds. In the first half of this
year, their company planned to introduce a new, multi-functional hydraulic
press at the exhibition. But the equipment debugging was not smooth, the
operation efficiency was not high, and the energy consumption was also large.
Their engineer thought that a certain hydraulic component on the hydraulic manifold
was insensitive and caused the problem. But after independent test, the
components were normal. After comparing with the original design drawing of the
hydraulic manifold for several times, problem still was not found. The
technology department and the purchasing department shirked each other, and the
boss got angry. If they missed the promotion, the project team would be
dismissed. Timothy contacted the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer, but
the manufacturer had no idea. Timothy was worried.
Timothy emailed me about the solution for this hydraulic manifold.
I jokingly said that it seems that no inquiry was sent to me for this hydraulic
manifold before. Timothy thought I didn't want to participate because it was
not produced by AAK. He explained that this is the hydraulic manifold
manufacturer designated by his supervisor. According to the hydraulic schematic
diagram and hydraulic manifold drawing provided by Timothy, AAK technical team
found the cause 3 days later. I told him that AAK was 90% sure of its success
in redesigning and testing the hydraulic manifold. Timothy learned that there
would be a 6,000 US dollars development cost for the hydraulic manifold. He
hesitated and asked me to wait for the news. I was a little surprised. The time
was burning fast, why still wait. I didn't ask. 1 week later, Timothy sent me
the bank slip for the development cost and reminded me that I must succeed,
otherwise he would be in trouble.
After 45 days, AAK sent 6 hydraulic manifolds. Two weeks
later, Timothy told us that the equipment installed with AAK hydraulic
manifolds had a smooth trial run and would not miss the exhibition period. Last
week, Timothy said that the equipment promotion was smooth and the reservation
exceeded expectations. The boss was very happy. He suggested that I hurry up to
prepare materials. The first order of their hydraulic manifold could be issued
to AAK next week.
The hydraulic manifold newly designed by AAK has 3 key
points. It is difficult to find a third hydraulic manifold manufacturer in
Ningbo who can take these 3 points into account at the same time.
1. The
overflow circuit in the original hydraulic manifold system is changed into an
automatic unloading circuit, and then matched with the AAK logic cartridge
valve. In this way, the heating of the system is reduced, the working
performance of the system is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced by
about 20% compared with the original design.
2. The
differential circuit design simplifies the hydraulic manifold system, reduces
the operation cycle of the hydraulic system from 30 seconds to 20 seconds, and
greatly improves the production efficiency.
3. The three
pump oil supply of the original hydraulic manifold system is changed to the two
pump oil supply, and the return oil pressure is used to directly cool the
return oil. In this way, the series link of the system is reduced, the system
pipeline is simplified, the energy is saved, and it is helpful for energy
consumption and efficiency.
Timothy told me
privately that without the support of his supervisor for the development fee of
6000 US dollars for the hydraulic manifold, he paid it by himself. The boss was
surprised by his actions and appreciated him. He gradually replaced the original
supervisor.
AAK hydraulic
manifold, energy saving, high efficiency, you can also try a small order!
The supplier who has cooperated for 3 years has
failed to test the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve for 3 times. After
AAK took over, the accuracy requirements were met at one time for the sample.
The surface roughness of the inner hole of the hydraulic cartridge flow control
valve was 0.15, and the cylindricity error was controlled within Φ0.003mm, the
operating efficiency of the hydraulic system was also improved from 5% to 10%.
Brand finally came to the sunny day from the rainy day for more than 30 days.
Brand is from Brazil. In March this year, he sent
me an inquiry for customized high-precision hydraulic cartridge flow control valve.
The surface roughness of the inner hole is Ra0.2, and the cylindricity is Φ
0.003mm. Compared with the conventional hydraulic cartridge flow control valve,
the precision is improved by nearly 10%. The cylindricity and the surface
roughness of the inner hole are the core of the valve hole precision. There are
no more than 5 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo that can
successfully sample at one time. Seven days later, Brand told AAK that the
price was 20% higher than that of the other hydraulic valve manufacturers. With
such a large difference, I knew that there was no comparability. The price and
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve were visible, but the manufacturing
quality was invisible.
40 days later, Brand asked by email how long it
would take to sample the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve quoted last
time. I was a little surprised. After communication, we learned that the he
chose the manufacturer who has cooperated with them for 3 years to make samples
for this high precision hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, but proofing
failed for 3 times. There was still a 5% discrepancy on the surface roughness
and cylindricity of the inner hole of the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve,
which could not be achieved all the time. Their engineer blamed brand for poor
procurement, and the boss was also unhappy with him. I told him that an
American customer of AAK encountered similar problem a month ago, AAK solved it
for him. When Brand learned of our successful case, he saw hope and was
relieved.
After 20 days, the samples of hydraulic cartridge
flow control valve were sent successfully 2 weeks later, Brand informed that
the surface roughness and cylindricity of the inner hole of the AAK hydraulic cartridge
flow control valve and the accuracy parameters not only met the standard, but
also improved by more than 10% compared with their original requirements.
What's more surprising is that the overall operating efficiency of the system
was also improved from 5% to 10% when the AAK hydraulic cartridge flow control valve
was installed, which surprised their engineers.
We were also complained about the surface roughness
and cylindricity of the inner hole 5 years ago. Now AAK uses rolling technology
to replace the traditional cutting method, uses rollers to roll the metal
surface, flatten the convex part of the surface, and make the concave part
bulge, and then process it into a smooth surface like mirror. The details of
rolling technology need skills. The surface roughness of the valve hole
processed by an old experienced craftsman will be nearly 1% higher than that of
grinding, which is why we can reach Ra 0.15, and the cylindricity error is
controlled within 0.003. After the working face is hardened, the wear
resistance and fatigue strength are increased, which is also the advantage and
feature of this process, but it requires experience to master it skillfully.
AAK hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, high
precision, high efficiency, welcome to try!
Galeno, from Spain, has cooperated with AAK for 2 years and tried several
non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. At the
beginning of this year, they developed a hydraulic windlass to be promoted in
the exhibition. They need a hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve for the
hydraulic system of the windlass. Galeno got samples from local manufacturer of
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. After the commissioning, the
pressure control of the equipment is unstable. The engineer judged that the cavity
of the hydraulic manifold was off center, resulting in unstable pressure
control of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve after being screwed
in. The hydraulic manifold manufacturer needed 2 months to re sample, but the
exhibition was less than 50 days, Galeno was worried.
Galeno tried to find a new hydraulic manifold manufacturer. When I received his inquiry for hydraulic
manifold, I was a bit surprise. After communication, I learned that he
encountered unstable pressure control of hydraulic cartridge pressure control
valve. I told him that under similar circumstances, it is not necessary to re
produce the hydraulic manifold. 1 year ago, AAK developed a specially designed
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, which was specially designed to
coordinate with the off center cavity of the hydraulic manifold. Galeno
compared the technical parameters of the AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve and it basically matched the hydraulic system of their hydraulic
windlass.
2 weeks after the
sample was sent, Galeno informed that the installation of AAK hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve to the equipment was smooth, and the machine test was
normal. The prototype was already on the way to the exhibition. His boss was
very satisfied with this urgent solution. I told him that the unique design of
AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve was beyond the imagination of
most hydraulic valve manufacturers. We got inspiration from an old customer. The
customer purchased the hydraulic manifold block and the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve from 2 different factories. After the installation was abnormal,
the two factories passed the buck. At that time, we imagined whether it was
possible to let the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve match the hydraulic
manifold block with off center cavity, or vice versa.
AAK technical team has
figured out that the middle thread can be used in the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve, that is, the floating structure. The connection area of the port
can be optimized, and the center of the thread position can be positioned to
maximize the flow capacity and minimize the eccentric influence of the hydraulic
manifold block cavity. The diameter of the valve shoulder at the thread
provides guidance to ensure the accurate alignment of the thread. The space of
the valve shoulder is sufficient, which increases the flexibility of the
installation torque and is not easy to damage the torque. The installation
torque space can minimize the impact of hydraulic pressure on the valve and is
conducive to pressure control.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, specially designed to match the hydraulic
manifold block with off center cavity, you can also have a small try!
Ryan is from a hydraulic equipment
company in Brazil. In the first half of this year, they had a hydraulic
logistics equipment complained by users that the control was abnormal. The
after-sales engineer found that the instantaneous peak pressure of the hydraulic
cartridge directional control valve was too high during the reversing process,
which affected the function of the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve and led to unstable equipment control, so the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve had to be replaced. The hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer
thought that the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve was produced
according to the drawing, and its function and accuracy were up to standard.
The valve was tested separately and no abnormality was found. The after-sales
team was helpless, and the boss asked Ryan to re purchase the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve to solve the after-sales problem first. Ryan has no
idea and no direction. He spent a week without any results.
Ryan
found me under the introduction of his customer Bernardo, who is also a
customer of AAK Hydraulic Valve. After learning Ryan's difficulties, according
to his hydraulic schematic diagram and hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve drawing, AAK engineers judged that the unstable control of the equipment was
probably due to the original design of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve, which had hidden dangers. I told Ryan that redesigning the
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve and testing it might solve the
customer's complaint at one time. After Ryan learned that AAK was 90% confident,
he paid the development fee the next day. After 45 days, AAK sent 8 samples of
hydraulic cartridge directional control valves.
Last
week, Ryan informed by email that it has been 3 months since he replaced with
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. The customer is satisfied
with the operation of the equipment and the control has been normal. Their
engineers disassembled our samples and admired our minds. In fact, our attempt
is also very simple. A damping orifice with a length of 3mm and a diameter of
2mm is added inside the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, which
can throttle the rotation of the motor, further increase the back pressure,
reduce the differential pressure borne by the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve, and finally ensure the stability of the equipment rotation
control.
I
told our engineer that the customer admired your mind. He told me that the
optimization of the design of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve
was also associated with the strike of a machine tool in our workshop last
time.
1.
Why did the machine tool strike? Because the machine tool was overloaded, the
fuse in the control panel was blown.
2.
Why did overload occur? Because the lubrication of the bearing was
insufficient.
3.
Why was the lubrication of the bearing insufficient? Because the lubrication
provided by the pump was insufficient.
4.
Why was the lubrication provided by the pump insufficient? Because the pump
shaft was worn, it rattled.
5.
Why was the pump shaft worn? Because there was no filter at the inlet of the
lubricating device, small metal chips entered the lubricating system, causing
wear of the pump shaft.
6.
Our coping strategy: add a filter at the inlet of the lubricating device. A
simple action can effectively solve this problem and prevent it from happening
again.
Ryan
learned that there was such a small episode, and he was very pleased with our
technical team. At the same time, he told me privately that his boss was also
very fond of AAK and suggested that he should discuss more difficult and
miscellaneous problems of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve with
AAK.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve is not only the right medicine,

Last week, Beardsley, a British customer, sent us an order
for 600 hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. This is the 3rd time
that he reordered this valve. AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve,
with the valve hole accuracy with 0.8μm and opening and closing within 1s, helped
their equipment sell well. Beardsley contacted more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers
before and after, but only AAK calmed his impatient heart.
At the beginning of last year, they developed a four column
hydraulic press. The main selling point is accurate positioning and stable
control. Therefore, they have strict requirements on the accuracy and opening
and closing of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. Beardsley
firstly contacted several old hydraulic valve suppliers. After learning the
parameters, they all gave up. More than 20 manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge
directional control valves have been communicated online and offline, and only
2 are willing to sample. After 45 days, the valve hole accuracy of the
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve samples exceeds 1μm. 2 months passed, but the manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve was still not approved yet. Beardsley was worried.
Beardsley found AAK on Google and left a message on
our website: for the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve with valve
hole precision of 0.8μm, how confident are you of success? After communication,
it was learned that the manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve had not been approved after two rounds. According to the drawing of
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve provided by Beardsley, the valve
hole accuracy is 0.8μm, and the opening and closing characteristics are within
1 second, which is really a challenge. I dare not say 100% sure, but there is
still a 90% probability. Beardsley asked AAK to try the order first and was
willing to pay the development cost. After 40 days, AAK sent the samples of
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. 3 weeks later, Beardsley told us
that after installing AAK hydraulic cartridge direction control valves, the
test run of the four column hydraulic machine was smooth, the positioning of
the equipment was accurate and the control was stable. His impatient heart
finally calmed down.
For the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve with valve hole accuracy 0.8μm, the opening and closing within 1 second,
AAK focused on 3 points, there is hardly a third one in Ningbo.
1. On the equipment, the German Gildemeister ultra high
precision machine tool is used for processing to ensure the accuracy of 0.5-0.8μm.
For most hydraulic valve manufacturers, the accuracy can only reach 1-3μm at
most. AAK machining accuracy is more than 3 times of theirs.
2. In terms of development, the
valve hole accuracy can be customized, while more than 95% of domestic hydraulic
valve manufacturers just make the common size of the industry. Not only is it
difficult to choose the tool, but also the customized processing challenges the
engineers.
3. In terms of testing, we used the German Diatest high-precision small pore
diameter measuring instrument to test each valve hole, while most hydraulic
valve manufacturers conducted spot checks and did not have a targeted measuring
instrument.
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, valve
hole accuracy within 0.8μm. You can also try a small order.
In March this year, Tancredo, an old customer from Italy, emailed me: Can you complete 50 non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge relief valves in 30 days and the valve hole accuracy within 1μm? I guess he ran into a wall when purchasing hydraulic cartridge relief valves from other hydraulic cartridge manufacturers. In the second half of last year, they developed a high-precision hydraulic pipe pressing machine, which requires the use of hydraulic cartridge relief valves. Due to time constraints, they chose samples from local hydraulic valve manufacturers, but the equipment debugging was not smooth. The pipe pressing accuracy of the hydraulic pipe pressing machine is not up to the standard, because the accuracy of the valve hole of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve exceeds 1.0μm. There is leakage. However, the manufacturer of the original hydraulic cartridge relief valve reported that there was no time to sample again and returned the development cost. The time was wasted for more than a month. Tancredo was dumbfounded.
Tancredo had to try overseas hydraulic valve manufacturers, and this was why he emailed me. The hydraulic cartridge relief valve with 1.0μm hole accuracy is a big challenge for most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, but AAK is confident to complete 50 non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge relief valves within 30 days. Four weeks later, 50 non-standard customized valves were sent out. Two weeks later, Tancredo emailed that their engineers were satisfied with the dimensional accuracy of the hydraulic pipe pressing machine installed with AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves. And the hole precision of AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves is within 0.8μm, which is 25% higher than what they required. AAK can make the hydraulic cartridge valves more accurate, and the production efficiency is faster, which is also the embodiment of AAK's capacity, and perhaps also the place where AAK is valuable.
For this hydraulic cartridge relief valve, we choose OKK ultra precision machine tool from Japan. Its nanometer resolution system can ensure that the processing accuracy of components can reach 0.01~0.3μm. The precision of shape and contour is 0.003~0.1μm. At the same time, the fast moving speed of each axis reaches 60 meters per minute, which is more than 30% faster than the production efficiency of other machine tools. Fixed operation technicians in the workshop, specially assigned persons and special machines, and 2 shifts, eliminating the uncertainty in production.
Tancredo told me privately that the boss was very satisfied with his quick solution this time, and he was responsible for some large purchases.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, high precision, high efficiency, you can also try a small order!
Taking the market share or taking orders, almost a lot of inertial thinking thinks that Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers rely on price. No wonder, in the Fortune Global 500 list a few days ago, although there are 145 Chinese enterprises, their profits are only half of those of American enterprises.
A few days ago, I saw a short story about Huawei. When meeting Ren Zhengfei, the chairman of a Fortune 500 company said, "How can Huawei succeed in the world by using low-cost tactics?" Ren Zhengfei blurted out: You are wrong. We do not rely on low prices, but on high prices. In the European market, Ericsson has the highest price. The average price of Huawei is 5% lower than Ericsson, but 5% - 8% higher than Alcatel, Lucent, Nokia and Siemens. It seems that when Chinese products sell well in the world, they must think that they occupy the market by low prices. What is the logic?
The essence of business is transaction. Trade, take my value to exchange the other party's value. The reason why the business can grow is that the enterprise has more ability than the things to exchange. If the capacity overflows, it will grow. Why can enterprises grow and make money? Make the products more valuable and produce more products, so we can get more. AAK Hydraulic Valve can make the hydraulic valves more valuable. Perhaps the price is 20% more expensive than that of the peers, but the service life of the hydraulic valves is twice that of the peers. This is the capacity overflow of AAK. I think this is also the direction of Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers.
Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers have the ability, then can exchange more thing. Whether the growth is fast or slow depends on whether the enterprise has a good strategy and high production efficiency. However, behind the growth of enterprises is the spillover of endogenous capabilities, and there must be a basic value. The value is that if the company wants to make money, it must take better value to exchange. Only with such values can we adhere to the long-term principle. AAK has been firmly committed to this road since it got the first trial order of HydraForce 10 years ago. The same is true of AAK people. If they want to become business experts, they should work hard on the professional skills of hydraulic valves to become engineers. A real business expert is indispensable for his mental strength, physical strength and intelligence.
If you do one thing and focus on the next 3 years, there will be more peers. If we can focus on the next 7 years, the number of peers will decrease by at least 70%. Because few Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers are willing to make such long-term plans. Long termists, calm down fluctuations, cross cycles and embrace trends. Long termism, rolling forward, for tomorrow.
The price of the hydraulic valve can be seen by everyone. The value of the hydraulic valve can be perceived only when you trust it. AAK hydraulic valves have been exported to more than 20 countries. In fact, many buyers in Europe and America are reluctant to negotiate extra prices because they pay more attention to time cost. However, they require that the value of hydraulic valves must be better than the price, and they are willing to let Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers earn reasonable profits. AAK can build mutual trust by using reasonable price and value superior to price. Good business people will not use those assistants who buy goods directly on the Internet without paying attention to the time cost. Building a good service relationship with people will be more successful businessmen, because they all use their time very efficiently. I always remember that the only thing about AAK is trust.
In the 13 year history of AAK Hydraulic Valve, sometimes I am too tired to walk. Sometimes, my eyes are foggy. Sometimes, I also want to give up. Sometimes, at the crossroads in front of me and you, it not a choice between "right road" and "wrong road". The choice between right and wrong is not difficult. Most people will choose the “right road”. In front of us, there is usually a "right road" and an "easy road". The easy road is so attractive, comfortable and familiar. The right road is narrow, far and tortuous, and it takes a lot of time. Even, for a long time, there is no light. But if we stick to the long-term principle, all changes will be beneficial. Let you find a little certainty in the great uncertainty.
AAK Hydraulic Valve has embarked on a difficult and right road, even if the road ahead is rough and thorny. But I believe that the hard road is never crowded.
Merchant is from Brazil. In the second half of last
year, they developed a hydraulic power unit, which requires a hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve and has a durability of more than 2 million times. Considering
the development lead time, Merchant decided to select the manufacturer of
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve from Brazil. One week later, all manufacturers
could not guarantee the durability of 2 million times. Only one manufacturer
accepted the trial order. 45 days later, the manufacturer still has not sent
the samples, and Merchant was informed that the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve failed the internal test in the factory, so a new sample is
needed, and the delivery date is difficult to determine. All the components
required for the equipment are in place, except for the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve. The merchant was pushed by the engineer again and again.
Merchant tried to contact the overseas hydraulic
valve manufacturers for this hydraulic cartridge directional control valves.
Because of the small quantity and high requirements, few manufacturer paid
attention to Merchant. Merchant was embarrassed and worried until he met
Nicholas, an old colleague, and let him see some hope. Nicholas sent me an
email and CC Merchant, then I knew that Merchant had encountered difficulties
in purchasing hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. Nicholas
mentioned in his email that if AAK can't achieve the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve for 2 million times, then don't waste time in Ningbo. I think
this is Nicholas's greatest trust in AAK.
According to the drawing of hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve sent by Merchant, it is not a big challenge. I told him that
based on Nicholas's trust in AAK, I would arrange the workshop to start
programming. Samples will be sent out within 5-6 weeks. Merchant immediately
relaxed and paid for development fee. Two weeks after the AAK hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve was sent, the Merchant emailed us that AAK hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve help to test the machine smoothly, but the
performance is a little worried.
I told Merchant that the performance of AAK
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve for 2 million times is not a
slogan, but an existing fact. Otherwise, Nicholas would not introduce AAK to him,
so that he could be relieved. Because AAK has 3 advantages in terms of
performance:
1.
In terms of material selection, the valve body of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve is made of Japanese SCM415 alloy steel, and its mechanical
properties are more than 70% stronger than those of similar materials. After
carburizing and heat treatment, the hardness of the valve body is higher than
HRC65, and the wear resistance is more than 3 times of the general 45 steel.
Material selection is the key, heat treatment is the core, and most of the
peers are not sufficient here.
2.
In terms of machining, the valve hole of
this hydraulic cartridge directional control valve is machined with diamond
reamer, which is completely ground without trace, and the accuracy of the valve
hole is guaranteed to be within 1.2μm, the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2-0.3.
3. In terms of technician, with 30 years of experience and 12 years of equipment
operation, it is difficult for the operation to be with defects. There is no
third one in Ningbo.
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve, with the performance of 2 million times, you can also have a small
try!
1 year ago, Ferdinand from Germany left
a message on AAK Hydraulic Valve website: Is there a hydraulic cartridge check
valve equivalent to HydraForce? Ferdinan bought two hydraulic cartridge check
valve samples from the model number I provided, then there was no news. Three
months later, he bought another two samples of hydraulic cartridge check valves
equivalent to SUN. Six months later, he sent a customized hydraulic cartridge check
valve drawing and brought 6 samples, there was no email for 6 months. I think
it's a bit abnormal, but if something is abnormal, there must be evil. He
bought hydraulic cartridge check valve samples from AAK 3 times a year to test
my patience and inspect the manufacturing quality of AAK. I can only comfort
myself in this way.
Last month, Ferdinand sent an email
asking about the lead time for 1,200 pcs of hydraulic cartridge check valve
customized last time. I knew that AAK had passed the investigation period of
German customers. After communication, I learned that the hydraulic cartridge check
valves that he purchased in Ningbo 2 years ago, were tested with 6 hydraulic
valve manufacturers before and after. Either the first sample was OK, but the
second one was not up to standard; Either the existing valve was tested OK, but
the customized valve was abnormal. Time was wasted and delayed their equipment
development. It turns out that Ferdinand was feared by some hydraulic valve
manufacturers, so he was prudent to select new hydraulic valve manufacturers.
This time, they will develop a hydraulic boarding
bridge, which requires non-standard hydraulic cartridge check valves. From trial
order to large order, AAK has been investigated for more than 1 year. Ferdinand
said that the manufacturing quality of AAK hydraulic valves, whether the ones benchmarking
international brands or non-standard customized ones, had been recognized by
their engineers for their functions and performance, so they decided to place
large quantity order of hydraulic cartridge check valves.
The reason why AAK hydraulic cartridge check valve
is different from other hydraulic valve manufacturers in Ningbo is that we
insist on the quality of manufacturing.
1. Not make do with the equipment. No matter CNC
machining center or machine tool, only high-precision ones are selected. At the
same time, the fixture is upgraded and modified by ourselves, eliminating human
error.
2. Materials should be paid attention to. Different kinds of imported high
carburized bearing steel should be combined with AAK's proprietary heat
treatment process. The hardness of the material has gone up several steps, and
its wear resistance has been improved by more than 3 times. The thermal
stability and compressive strength of materials have been far ahead of other
hydraulic valve manufacturers.
3. The inspection is vigorous. The high-precision test
bench and durability test equipment independently developed by AAK are used to
conduct 100% full inspection. The pressure, flow and fatigue resistance of the
valve cannot escape Sun Wukong's eyes.
AAK hydraulic cartridge check valve, insists on high
quality. You can also have a small try!
Why
is there only price war when there is no intermediary in cross-border
e-commerce? Is there no selling point and no reason to buy? Chinese hydraulic
valve manufacturers can't play cross-border e-commerce without their soft power
and hard work.
I
have a friend. His factory produces leisure chairs. Three years ago, he started
a cross-border e-commerce business of leisure chairs in Amazon. After several
months of accumulation, he told me that the business was stable. Full
containers were shipped to overseas warehouses. The average monthly sales volume
was 1,000 pcs, the overall profit was 30%, and the flow was stable. I curiously
went to his online shop to see, "There is no middleman making the
difference, only my leisure chair", occupying a prominent position. I told
him at that time that this model could not last, and he thought I was jealous
of him.
Yesterday,
he complained to me. On September 1, a home furnishing big seller started to
sell the same leisure chair at a 35% price reduction. As a result, his sales
volume was only 50 pcs, and his traffic declined seriously due to the price
reduction of the big seller. He had no choice but to reduce the price by 35%. Sell
one now and lose 5 yuan. He is hesitating whether to continue the price war? If
you don't, the traffic will disappear. If you do, there will be no bottom.
Why
did I tell him that this model would not work. Because I was impressed that it
was just a brick mover, without the selling point of leisure chairs and no
reason to buy, burning advertising to drive traffic. Is this cross-border
e-commerce? With few or no peers, you can make big money with your eyes closed.
As long as there is a peer, we must fight for the price.If a bunch of peers are
here, the money earned should be vomited back slowly.
A
few days ago, I read a report that a delivery clerk at Amazon who had worked
hard for 4 years received a dismissal letter from AI on his way to delivery,
because it took too long and exceeded the standard operation time. Note that it
is not HR. For repetitive, fixed action work similar to brick moving, AI can
issue dismissal notice without HR in future assessment. People still need to
think. Especially their soft power and hard work.
Chinese
hydraulic valve manufacturers, as cross-border e-commerce companies, should be
careful if without endorsement of manufacturing quality. From beginning to end,
online trust is the first priority. The content of the detail page of the
Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturer must be of quality, not the hydraulic
valve manual. Even if you want to send a lot of B2B information, let's say that
the customer must know:
1)
Why am I trustworthy? Many times, people are more important than goods
2)
Why is the AAK Hydraulic Valve also trustworthy?
3)
Compared with peers, what are the technical parameters and quality indicators
of AAK hydraulic valve that have been compared with the international first-line
brands?
4)
Which 3 global top 500 and international brands are loyal customers of AAK
hydraulic valves? It has been used for several or more years
5)
AAK Hydraulic Valve, how to solve the problems of the hydraulic valves
purchased by customers?
6)
If you want cheap or low-quality hydraulic valves, you should not contact AAK to
waste each other's time.
Chinese
hydraulic valve manufacturers must have quality in their work, which is not
correct nonsense. The content is related to the customer and benefits the
customer. This is the king of content. Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers do
not need to increase much flow. One inquiry of hydraulic valves from one target
customer per day is OK, that’s 365 customers a year. If business is done with
10% of them, which are 36 customers. The small day of Chinese hydraulic valve
manufacturers is OK. In fact, the same goes for salespeople. Isn't the salesman
your own boss? The salesman who works to achieve the work goal is a fake salesman.
AAK
hydraulic valves, benchmarking the international first-line hydraulic valve
brands, such as HydraForce, serving 3 global top 500
companies.
Evelyn is from a hydraulic
equipment company in Mexico. He has been engaged in the procurement of
hydraulic valves for 5 years and has been very successful. However, the hydraulic
cartridge directional control valves purchased in the early stage fell down. At
the end of last year, their excavator was complained by the customer that the
output power was unstable. The after-sales server believed that the leakage of
the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve was probably the cause. After
disassembly, it was true that there was a gap between the valve spool and the
contact point of the valve hole. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve reported that after more than 10 months of use,
individual leaks were unavoidable, and the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve could only be replaced. However, 1 month later, more and more
complaints were filed. Evelyn realized that the service life of the valve
produced by this manufacturer is about 1 year, or 500,000 to 700,000 times of
performance. Evelyn started to send inquiries for "2 drops/min hydraulic cartridge
directional valve with a performance of more than 1.5 million times".
After 1 week, there was no quotation from any hydraulic valve manufacturers. Evelyn
had a big headache.
Evelyn found AAK on Google
and left a message: 2 drops/min hydraulic cartridge directional valve with a
performance of more than 1.5 million times, can it be guaranteed? I told him
that this hydraulic cartridge directional control valve with high requirements
for both function and performance is actually a benchmark for the manufacturing
quality of HydraForce. AAK has served HydraForce for 9 consecutive years. If
this is a real order, try it directly. If you just ask about the price, don’t
waste time on both sides.
After 35 days, 20 hydraulic cartridge
directional control valves were sent out. Evelyn informed by email last week
that the excavator with AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve has
been installed for 1 year, and no customer complained about abnormal output
power. I told him that the performance of this model can reach 2 million times,
which is 3 times of that of your original hydraulic valve manufacturer, as long
as no one does anything wrong about it. Evelyn is relieved.
AAK can achieve 2
drops/min of hydraulic cartridge directional valve with a performance of 2
million times, which is the result of adhering to the quality standard of
HydraForce. AAK spends no less than 400,000 dollars on R&D and technology
upgrading every year.
1. AAK has produced
OEM hydraulic valves for 3 world top 500 companies for 10 years. The self
executing quality control process is more strict than the ISO certification
system. It is focused on manufacturing details, process innovation and
technology research and development. HydraForce and SUN Hydraulics are also
loyal customers of AAK, and have been cooperating continuously for 9 years.
2. The AAK
engineer team, in terms of the selection of raw materials and spare parts,
starts from the requirements of working conditions and is targeted, never
following the trend. Especially in the customization of hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve with high requirements, there are some tricks and cases.
3. AAK has a self-developed test
bench, each valve is 100% fully inspected from function to performance, while
most hydraulic valve manufacturers just conduct random inspection.
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, 2
drops/min, with a performance of 2 million times, you can also have a small
trial!
Fossette is from a navigation and aerospace equipment company in Canada,
and has been purchasing for 4 years. At the beginning of the year, their
customer wanted to customize a marine hydraulic power unit, which was very
strict with the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. He contacted
HydraForce for customization. Because of small quantity and tight time, HydraForce
could not meet the needs of Fossette. He selected hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve manufacturer in Ningbo, who has cooperated for 2
years, to make samples. The manufacturer guaranteed that the geometric accuracy
of the valve spool and valve cage is 0.8μm, but it was jammed during equipment
commissioning. The hydraulic cartridge directional control valve of this
manufacturer is inflexible, and the accuracy is 50% lower than the requirement.
At this moment, the manufacturer said that 1.2μm of hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve is the limit, and their engineers can't fulfill their promises.
Fossette contacted more than 10 manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves, but it was also fruitless. The time was wasted for 6 weeks, the
customer was dissatisfied, and Fossette started to worry.
Fossette saw on B2B that AAK has released a customer case about "0.8μm
Accuracy of hydraulic directional control valve", he left a message on AAK
Hydraulic Valve website, asking 3 questions consecutively: 1. Accuracy 0.8 μm
Hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, are you SURE? 2. Customization
time? 3. The quantity is small, are you interested? He specially emphasized “SURE”
in capital letters. He may be feared of being disappointed again. I told him
that the precision of 0.8μm Hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, is already
an existing fact for AAK, it is not a matter of SURE or not. I need a complete
drawing to evaluate the probability of customization success as a whole.
40 days later, AAK sent 10 customized hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves. After that, there was no email from Fossette, and I did not follow
it. Generally, the customer will give a feedback 2-4 weeks after receiving the
samples. 4 months later, just last week, Fossette informed us that his customer
was very satisfied with the marine hydraulic power unit they provided. He was preparing
for the annual order and asked me to keep an eye on the production in the
workshop to ensure the progress and manufacturing quality of large goods. The hydraulic
cartridge directional control valve accuracy within 0.8μm, challenges the
processing equipment, the technical team and the manufacturer's quality
awareness.
1. In terms of finish machining, OKK ultra precision
machine tool from Japan is used, and AAK self modified fixture is equipped,
accuracy of 0.8μm is not our limit.
2. AAK engineer
team, in terms of the selection of raw materials and spare parts, starts from
the requirements of working conditions and is targeted, never following the
trend. Especially in the customization of high-precision hydraulic valves, the
processing of production drawings, the preparation of processing technology,
the technical control, they have unique skills and successful cases.
3. In terms of inspection, dare not
be careless. The German Mahr cylindricity meter is used, with the help of
EasyForm software, and 100% full inspection is carried out. Only those
qualified can go to the packaging workshop.
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, used in navigation and
aerospace, you can also have a small try!
Krischnan is from a hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company in the United States. He has been engaged in hydraulic manifold
procurement for only 1 year. In the second half of last year, they developed a
hydraulic oil pump to promote for new. The hydraulic manifold used comes from
the design of their engineers. They chose a hydraulic manifold manufacturer who
has worked with them for 5 years to try samples. 2 months later, the
commissioning was not smooth. After the equipment was started for a period of
time, the pressure supply of the oil pump was unstable, resulting in high
energy consumption of the equipment, which had no advantage over the peers. The
boss asked that the problem be solved within 3 months. The engineer asked
Krischnan to contact the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer to solve the
problem, but the manufacturer only had production capacity and can not offer
solution. Krischnan was worried that the technical department blamed the
purchase for the abnormal test run and had to check with many hydraulic
manifold manufacturers. 1 week later, only one hydraulic manifold manufacturer
replied that the manifold might need to be redesigned, but he was not sure.
Krischnan was worried about time being wasted day by day.
When browsing Google, Krischnan found an article of AAK
about hydraulic manifolds and asked by email: Can you improve the hydraulic
manifold design and make samples according to the working conditions of the
equipment? I felt that he may have encountered problems on making samples for hydraulic
manifolds. After communication, I learned that there was also a problem with
the hydraulic manifold design. According to his hydraulic manifold drawings, as
well as the condition of equipment commissioning, I told him that AAK was 80%
sure to redesign the hydraulic manifold and sample it. If successful, it can
help reduce the energy consumption of the equipment by 20%. Krischnan was happy
but also worried when he learned that, but he seemed to have no choice but to
bet on AAK's success. After 50 days, 5 redesigned hydraulic manifold samples were
delivered.
4 weeks after the hydraulic manifold was sent out,
Krischnan told us that the test run was smooth, the pressure supply of the oil
pump was stable, and the energy consumption also decreased by more than 20%.
The entire technical team was very happy and sure that it would be recognized
by the market soon.
The improvement of this hydraulic manifold is the
reverse thinking operation, from "why the pressure supply is
unstable" to the oil circuit and oil hole. AAK did this way: composed of relief
valve, hydraulic time-delay valve and check valve. The sparkle is that there
are oil inlet, oil return and oil outlet holes in the valve body. Each oil hole
is connected to two cartridge valves, and the control oil holes of the
hydraulic time-delay valve and the relief valve are connected to the
corresponding oil holes in the valve body. The setting of another cartridge
valve can make the pump have the function of one-way oil supply. The whole
hydraulic manifold structure is compact, reducing pipes, joints and pipe
fittings, simplifying the installation project, and replacing pipes with oil
holes, which is also helpful for energy consumption.
A
few days ago, Krischnan told me privately that AAK's design idea was admired by
their engineers. Now, people in the technical team respect him more when they
see him, and what he does is more and more interesting.
AAK
hydraulic manifold, reduces energy consumption by 20%, and you can also have a
small try!
Edgar
is from a hydraulic company in Britain and has been engaged in procurement for
2 years. Recently, the supervisor asked him to purchase a hydraulic cartridge flow
control valve with a rated pressure of 15~20MPa, a fit clearance of
0.012~0.015mm and a cylindricity of 0.003mm. The supervisor specially
emphasized that this was the project the boss was looking at. Edgar saw the
parameters of this hydraulic cartridge flow control valve and was a bit stunned.
It was difficult for his current hydraulic cartridge flow control valve
manufacturers to reach the standard. Although one of the manufacturers promised
to be 90% sure, the cylindricity accuracy could not be approved, because the
processing of the blind hole of the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve was
not sufficient enough. He failed to meet the standard even after 3 adjustments.
More than a month has passed, and no progress has been made. Edgar was very
worried.
I'm
not sure where Edgar learned about AAK. He left a message on our website: Can you
process the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve with a cylindricity of
0.003mm? Because the parameters are not the only factor, we cannot simply
answer yes or no. I can only tell him that the problem of the original
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve manufacturer lies in the tool, and most hydraulic
valve manufacturers still use traditional diamond reamers. This technology is
not only highly demanding for technicians, but the tool is also easy to wear.
In diamond reamer cutting, the force is mainly concentrated on the tool head,
and the head wears quickly. This makes the hole bottom size smaller and affects
the cylindricity of the valve hole. Edgar should have felt that AAK pointed to
the point, so he sent us the complete drawing of the hydraulic cartridge flow control
valve, informing us of the above procurement difficulties, hoping that AAK
could help him with solution.
According
to Edgar's drawings, I told him that AAK should make samples directly. If it is
not successful, the development cost will be returned. After 30 days, 6
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve samples were sent out. 3 weeks later,
Edgar sent a PO for hydraulic cartridge flow control valve worth 20,000 US dollars.
At the same time, he advised that their engineers were very satisfied with AAK
samples and required that the manufacturing quality of mass production must be
the same as the samples. I told him that the shipment will be the same as the
samples, it was more difficult for the workshop to do a little worse than to do
a little better. Edgar was curious about what technology AAK used to solve the
cylindricity problem of the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve.
3
years ago, AAK realized that the cylindricity of the valve hole would have
hidden problem due to the traditional diamond reamer processing technology, so
we replaced it with new honing machine, and the the diamond reamer was replaced
by diamond oilstone, which is installed on the special honing rod. The oilstone
can expand and shrink radially, gradually cut off the allowance of the valve
hole, and is equipped with an automatic measuring system. After rough honing,
the diameter of the valve hole can be measured 360 degrees. If the size is
abnormal, the oilstone will correct it. In this way, the cylindricity of the
machined valve hole can reach 0.0025~0.003mm, moreover, the surface roughness
is Ra0.2.
Last
week, Edgar told me privately that his boss paid more and more attention to him
after the smooth delivery of this hydraulic cartridge flow control valve.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, cylindricity within 0.003mm, welcome to
try!
Payne is from a
hydraulic equipment company in the United States. His purchase process has been
smooth for 3 years. He did not have much cooperation with AAK, until the
purchase of a hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve suffered a loss
elsewhere, he trusts AAK more and more. 2 years ago, their company sold tunnel
boring machines. Less than half a year after sales, customers complained that
the equipment was on strike. The after sales worker found that the contact surface
between the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve spool and the valve cage
of the hydraulic system of the equipment had signs of wear. It was judged that
the leakage led to insufficient pressure supply for the system, and they went
on strike. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve pushed the buck. He thought that the system pressure of the hydraulic tunnel
boring machine was more than 450bar, and the opening and closing frequency of
the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve was high. After half a year of
use, it was normal that the valve cage was worn, so only solution was to
replace the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves with new ones. 6 months
later after replacement, the same problem occurred again. Payne realized that
the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve of the original manufacturer has
a service life of only 6 months. The boss was not satisfied with the
after-sales service of the original manufacturer, and asked Payne to re
purchase the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves with a service life of
at least 18 months. 2 weeks passed, the no manufacturer was willing to accept
the order. Payne was worried.
Payne emailed me and
asked how long AAK can guarantee the service life of the hydraulic pressure
control cartridge valve under the working condition of 450bar high pressure and
high frequency use? After knowing Payne's dilemma in purchasing the hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valves, I told him that most hydraulic valve manufacturers
would replace the valves in about 6 months under high-frequency and
high-pressure working conditions. Only HAWE hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve can have a service life of 2 million times, which is more than 2 years.
The manufacturing quality of AAK hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve is
the benchmark of HAWE. After 30 days, AAK sent 12 samples of hydraulic pressure
control cartridge valves. 3 weeks later, Payne informed AAK that the hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve was approved for function and the performance
was waiting for test.
Last month, Payne
informed by email that it had been more than a year since AAK hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve was installed, and there was no strike
complaint about the equipment. His boss was very satisfied with this batch of purchase.
For the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve under high frequency use and
high pressure conditions, AAK benchmarking HAWE, focused on 3 points, most hydraulic
valve manufacturers can not reach.
1. Material selection is
the key. AAK uses SCM415 alloy steel from Japan, which has mechanical
properties more than 70% stronger than similar materials. After carburizing and
heat treatment, the hardness of the valve body is higher than HRC65, and the
wear resistance is more than 3 times of the general 45 steel. Most hydraulic
valve manufacturers want to use this material, but they are not sufficient on
heat treatment, so they have to give up.
2. The inspection is also important. AAK has independently
developed hydraulic valve durability testing equipment. In combination with
NFPA/T2.6.1 standard, it conducts fatigue testing on materials and 100% full
inspection.
3. Technical skill is
the basis. AAK has shipped the hydraulic cartridge valves under 450bar high
pressure and high frequency use conditions for many times. AAK do not only the
engineer who have worked in HAWE for 7 years, but also the old technicians who
have worked for more than 30 years.
AAK hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve has a performance of 2
million times under high frequency use and high pressure conditions. You can
also have a small try!
Sofronio,
from Brazil, has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic valves for 3
years, and has been successful, but stumbled in purchasing hydraulic manifolds.
Last year, they wanted to promote a high pressure hydraulic roller, requiring
the entire hydraulic manifold to be able to withstand high pressure of 450Bar. A
local hydraulic valve manufacturer promised to provide design, sample and
one-stop service for Sofronio according to equipment working conditions. The
equipment debugging was also smooth. After being put into the market, the sales
of hydraulic rollers is just so so, the user feedback equipment functions are just
so so, and the energy consumption is high. Their engineer suggested that the
hydraulic manifold should be improved, and the high pressure should be
sustained, and the hydraulic manifold oil circuit should be simplified.
However, the original manufacturer could not able to meet it, and suggested
that Sofronio find a supplier of German HAWE. A week later, it was fruitless.
Sofronio
has found in Google that AAK has hydraulic valves benchmarking HAWE, and
resistant to high pressure of 450Bar. He left a message: can you design, sample
and produce the hydraulic manifold with high pressure resistance of 450Bar, and
control the energy consumption well? I told him that as long as the hydraulic screw-in
cartridge valves selected for hydraulic manifold can withstand 450Bar of high
pressure, and the oil circuit design meets 450Bar of high pressure, the pain
point will be solved.
Sofronio
emailed me the photos of the hydraulic manifolds produced by Brazilian
manufacturer and the working conditions of the hydraulic roller. AAK engineer found
the hidden danger in the original hydraulic manifold design at a glance and
suggested him to directly try AAK samples. It seems that Sofronio does not believe
that AAK can do a good job and he is hesitant. I can understand that it is
stuck here. Our engineer was flexible. He draw a hydraulic manifold sketch,
marked the configuration of each valve, and highlighted the oil circuit layout.
The day after Sofronio got the hydraulic manifold sketch, he paid the
development cost and specifically emphasized that this is just what their
engineer required. Maybe the engineers on both sides have a mind consonance.
1
month later, AAK sent 5 sets of hydraulic manifolds. 5 weeks later, Sofronio
informed that with AAK hydraulic manifolds, the hydraulic roller is powerful,
its functions can meet the original users, and its energy consumption is
reduced. Their sales team is confident of a turnaround.
Last
week, Sofronio ordered 260 sets of hydraulic manifolds. Because the promotion
of the new hydraulic roller was smooth, the reservation was doubled several
times. AAK can replace Brazilian hydraulic valve manufacturer because AAK has 3
advantages.
1. AAK has full-time engineer to select the material
and cartridge valves for the hydraulic manifold, who is specially responsible
for material screening, comparison, testing, and interfacing with the research
institute. Match the appropriate materials and hydraulic components according
to the working conditions of the equipment, instead of those commonly used in
the market.
2. AAK has engineer who has worked at HAWE for 11 years,
has a mind in the hydraulic manifold design, insists on the flow distribution
on demand, and eliminates bypass. The oil circuit control is sensitive and easy
to control, which is not only low in energy consumption but also high in
efficiency.
3. MDTools software is used, from
the loop logic to the functionality of each valve, can be personalized
designed, reducing the number of couplings, pipelines and hoses installed,
without the use of fixtures, which is not only low energy consumption, but also
high efficiency.
AAK
hydraulic manifold, high pressure resistant 450Bar, and low energy consumption,
you can also try a small order!
Katherine is from a Greek hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company. There were several inquiries for hydraulic cartridge flow
control valves with AAK before, but there was no cooperation. In the second
half of last year, their customer wanted to customize a set of hydraulic power unit
used in aviation equipment. The requirements for hydraulic cartridge flow
control valve parameters were: performance of 2 million times, valve hole
accuracy with 1μm, high pressure resistance 450bar. Seeing these strict
parameter requirements, Katherine ware not sure if there is any hydraulic valve
manufacturer who can meet it. More than 10 manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge
flow control valves have been contacted, none of them was able to achieve it.
Their engineer suggested Katherine contact German HAWE, because HAWE is the No
1 in the subdivision of high-pressure hydraulic valves. But HAWE had no time to
sample. 2 weeks later, there was no progress. Katherine was worried.
Her customer introduced a local manufacturer of
hydraulic cartridge flow control valves in Greece, and Katherine also contacted
me. According to above information, I told her directly that we are not sure
for success, but our engineers are confident in the sample. 50 days later,
Katherine's team tested the hydraulic cartridge flow control valves of Greek hydraulic
valve manufacturer and AAK, both the results failed. The Greek manufacturer of
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve gave up making samples for the second
time. Katherine hoped that AAK can make samples for the second time. Although
some parameters of AAK hydraulic cartridge flow control valve did not meet the
standard, the overall quality was stronger than that of the Greek hydraulic
valve manufacturer, and was close to the parameter requirements. I told him
that such a demanding sample, like an exam, is not difficult to improve from 80
points to 99 points, but it is a great challenge to improve from 99 points to
100 points. Katherine understood the situation. I suggest that she postpone the
development with the customer first, and I will update any information about
AAK samples in a timely manner.
After 6 months, AAK sent 10 hydraulic cartridge flow
control valves. During this period, AAK technical team experienced 3 material
changes, 6 samples, 12 inspections, and 180 days of challenges, and achieved the
success. 2 months after the hydraulic cartridge flow control valves were sent,
Katherine emailed us to express her surprise and thanks. It turned out that
Katherine thought AAK had given up the sample long ago. Unexpectedly, she
received the samples of hydraulic cartridge flow control valves 180 days later,
and the parameters were all qualified.
This test sample challenged the soft power of AAK
and the ingenious strength of the technical team, and failed repeatedly until
success.
1.
In terms of material selection, Japan SCM415 alloy steel was finally tested to
be the most suitable one. After we have improved the heat treatment process for
a long time, the hardness reaches HRC65, the wear resistance and strength are
more than 3-5 times that of other steels, and there is no wear for more than 2
million times.
2.
In
processing, the honing rod is customized on the American precision honing
machine, and is equipped with diamond oilstone to replace the diamond reamer,
then it is easy for the valve hole accuracy with 0.8μm. It is hard for peers to
think of such operation in the processing technology link.
3.
In terms of testing, the high pressure test bench
and durability testing equipment independently developed by AAK is used, the
pressure, flow and fatigue resistance of the valve, are 100% fully inspected.
Katherine
told us privately that their engineers, his boss and their customer were all
impressed by AAK.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, never give up after failure, you can
also have a try!
Pancrazio is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Italy. In recent years, his purchase of hydraulic valves in China has been
smooth. Recently, he was trapped by a 450bar high pressure hydraulic cartridge relief
valve. At the beginning of last year, their new hydraulic power unit was complained
by customers about unstable pressure supply 6 months after it was sold. During
after sales checking, it was found that the hydraulic cartridge relief valve spool
was not flexible. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve advised that under 450bar high pressure frequency use, the valve cage was
deformed, then the valve spool was not flexible, the only solution is to
replace the valves with new ones. Later, with more and more complaints, Pancrazio
realized that the service life of the hydraulic cartridge relief valves
produced by the original manufacturer was only 6-9 months. Such frequent
replacement is not affordable, they must find a new hydraulic valve manufacturer,
the service life of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve must be more than 24
months. Pancrazio contacted more than 10 manufacturers, but none of them was
able to guarantee that the service life of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve
under 450bar high pressure, can be 2 years. 2 weeks passed, but no progress. Pancrazio
became panicky.
Pancrazio saw in Google that AAK released a series
of 450bar pressure resistant hydraulic cartridge valves and left a message
asking: How long is the service life of AAK's 450bar pressure resistant
hydraulic cartridge relief valve? There are similar messages every day. I only
answered "The price of AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve is 20% higher,
but its service life is twice that of the peers". In the afternoon of the
same day, I received the drawings of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve and
the pictures of the original manufacturer's hydraulic cartridge relief valves
from Pancrazio. He emphasized the requirements of the 450bar pressure
resistance and the service life of 2 years. Our engineer is a little surprised
that the original manufacturer's hydraulic relief valves will be abnormal in 6
months. After a careful look at the design of the original hydraulic cartridge
relief valve, we had an idea and suggested making samples directly. Although
Pancrazio was some hesitant, there was no better choice.
After 45 days, AAK sent 50 hydraulic cartridge relief valves
to replace the ones on those abnormal equipments. Last week, Pancrazio emailed
us that AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves have been installed in the
equipment for 1 year, there was any complaint about unstable pressure supply.
Their engineers realized that AAK had directly modified the design of the
original hydraulic cartridge relief valve, and they admired our minds. I told
him that if there was no accident, in 24 months, there would be no repair
report for AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve and no complaint from the
customers.
This hydraulic cartridge relief valve, hydraulic system and
working conditions are a little special. The original hydraulic cartridge relief
valve is designed to be composed of a valve cover, a valve cage and a valve spool.
Most hydraulic valve manufacturers mainly focus on standard parts and can only
produce according to drawings, without system knowledge of hydraulic valves. We
operate like this, which is the 3 points admired by their engineers.
1. We open a large round hole in the center of the upper part of
the valve cover, and the valve spool reaches the valve cage through the large
round hole and is installed in the inner cavity of the valve cage. This is the
change of the appearance.
2. Enlarge the valve spool diameter and valve cage inner diameter
in the same proportion, increase the valve spool stroke, increase the oil flow,
and make the system oil more stable, which is helpful to the performance.
3. The area around the oil outlet of the valve cage is designed to
be convex, and the high-pressure oil flows out through the outlet of the valve cage,
which has a buffer, which is more resistant to high pressure and has better
performance.
The
price of AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve is 20% more expensive, but its
service life is twice that of its peers. You can also have a small try!
Chapman comes from a hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company in Italy. He has been in the company for 3 years and is
highly regarded by his boss. However, the hydraulic pilot relief valves purchased
at the beginning of the year has been in a big trouble, which makes his boss
more and more disappointed with him. They sold a batch of hydraulic power
units, and there was squeal or vibration. They judged that it was caused by the
abnormality of the hydraulic pilot relief valve. However, when they tested the
hydraulic pilot relief valve separately, the parameters met the standard, and
no abnormality was found. In a week, Chapman contacted different hydraulic
valve manufacturers online and offline, but it was fruitless. The original manufacturer
of the hydraulic pilot relief valve could not provide constructive suggestions.
The boss is urging the after-sales plan. Chapman has not found the root cause
of the equipment howling yet and has a big headache.
Chapman tried to source Chinese hydraulic valve manufacturers
on Google. He was surprised that AAK's natural ranking in Google actually
ranked on the home page. He left a message to ask if AAK could solve the squeal
of the hydraulic pilot operated relief valve. I didn't answer yes or no, but
only sent him two links about the squeal solution of the hydraulic valves. AAK
has solved the squeal of the hydraulic relief valves for 2 customers. 10
minutes later, Chapman sent the drawings of the hydraulic pilot operated relief
valve and the product pictures of the original manufacturer. Our engineer asked
him to separate the hydraulic relief valve into two halves along the axis of
symmetry, with partial drawing pictures.
The next day, I told him that it was not difficult
to stop whistling, it is better to make samples directly. After 50 days, AAK
sent 40 samples of hydraulic pilot operated relief valves for him to replace the
ones on the equipment complained by customers. Last week, Chapman sent a PO for
360 hydraulic pilot operated relief valves, and told that it had been 6 months
since AAK hydraulic pilot operated relief valves have been used on the
equipment. There was no customer complaint about squeal or vibration, and the
customer was satisfied. His boss asked him to replace all the original
hydraulic pilot operated relief valves and only choose AAK.
Different
hydraulic relief valves have different causes of squeal, it needs a case by case analysis. Our engineer found that
the dynamic performance of this hydraulic relief valve was not very smooth, so he
set dynamic damping in its valve spool cavity. This damping and spring cavity
constitute a first-order inertial link. The turning frequency is higher than
the natural frequency of the second-order oscillating link of the valve spool,
which can form an inter stage dynamic pressure feedback, improve the dynamic
process, and effectively reduce the vibration of the dynamic process. The
greater the vibration, the stronger the damping effect.
AAK
hydraulic pilot operated cartridge relief valve, no squeal, no vibration, you
can also have a small try!
AAK
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve adopts a closed unit with 4
faces, which replaces the traditional 2 faces to connect the main flow. The
flow rate can reach 760L/min, while the pressure drop is less than 7bar, and
the applicable pressure can reach 350bar. It not only improves the stability of
the hydraulic system, but also increases the energy consumption of the
equipment by at least 20%. Napoleon did not hesitate to give up the original hydraulic
cartridge directional control valve manufacturer that had cooperated for 5
years, and chose AAK for the annual order.
For personalized customization, it does not only
need to benchmark the manufacturing quality of first-line brands, but also need
the team knowing 6 aspects, including design, materials, process, technology,
production line control and testing. Not a single one can be omitted. However,
most of the hydraulic valve manufacturers only have the production capacity
according to the drawing, and use traditional technology to produce market
goods, which is difficult to meet the personalized requirements of customized
equipment.
Napoleon is from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing
company in Italy. Last year, he asked me about the technical parameters of a
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, then no further contact any more.
At the beginning of the year, they customized a hydraulic casting machine for a
customer. During debugging, they found that the stability of the equipment was
not high, and the operation would lag after it was started. Their engineer
judged that the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve was unqualified.
Napoleon is very cautious in purchasing. For this hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve, he specially selected a supplier who has cooperated for 5 years
to make samples. The original manufacturer retested all parameters of the
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, but found no abnormality.
Napoleon guessed that the original design may have hidden dangers, but the original
manufacturer has no ability to modify the design.
Napoleon
came to me again and informed me of the current dilemma of the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve. AAK engineer analyzed the drawings of the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve and the video of the equipment operation, judged that
the original design had hidden dangers, and also had an improvement plan. We
suggest making samples directly. After 45 days, AAK sent 10 samples of
hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. 2 weeks later, Napoleon informed
that after installing AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valves, the
hydraulic system of the hydraulic casting machine was stable. After it was
started, there was no lag, and the energy consumption of the equipment reduced
by more than 20%. Their customer was very satisfied. Their company also plans
to promote this hydraulic casting machine, and asked me to wait for the annual
order for the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve.
The
design of the original hydraulic cartridge directional control valve adopts the
traditional closed unit with 2 sides, one side is connected with the main flow,
and the other side is used for control. The position of the closed unit can
only be determined according to the pressure ratio between the main flow
interface and the control oil interface, and the opening can only depend on the
spring. The hydraulic system of the customized equipment of customer is a
little special. When such a hydraulic cartridge directional valve is used on
the equipment, it has an impact on the stability. AAK hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve adopts a 4 face closed unit, adds 2 independent control surfaces,
and has an adjustable position "open valve" gear. When closing the
valve, there will be no delay, nor the force of the spring, to ensure no lag
after opening. AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve not only adds new
functions, but also improves the original functions. The flow rate can reach
760L/min, while the pressure drop is less than 7bar, and the applicable
pressure can reach 350bar. The hydraulic system of the equipment is stable, and
the energy consumption is reduced by at least 20%.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve is customized, which is
incomparable to the peers. You can also have a small try!
Cleveland is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Mexico. He has purchased hydraulic valves in Ningbo for 3 years. We have
communications for two times. He is confident, but the hydraulic cartridge relief
valves he purchased last time stumped him. At the end of last year, their
customer customized a hydraulic paper cutter, which requires the use of a
hydraulic cartridge relief valve. The engineer asked Cleveland to purchase SUN
hydraulic cartridge relief valve standard parts, and the equipment
commissioning was smooth. The customer was satisfied and placed the first batch
of orders. Cleveland placed the order with a hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer in Ningbo. 6 months after the equipment was sold, the customer
complained that the stability of the equipment was not as good as the
prototype. After checking, it was found that the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve was leaking, and the standard deviation of valve hole accuracy was only
70% of SUN's. Cleveland contacted SUN, but SUN did not have enough inventory
and needed a long lead time for production. The boss was not satisfied and
requested to purchase the hydraulic cartridge relief valves that benchmarking SUN.
Cleveland was worried.
Cleveland contacted me and told me the dilemma he
encountered in purchasing hydraulic cartridge relief valves. He knew that SUN
was a loyal customer of AAK Hydraulic Valves for 3 consecutive years and needed
my help. My engineer told me that as long as the heat treatment of steel is in
place, the standard deviation of AAK processing accuracy can completely
benchmark SUN, so that I have a good idea. No comparison, no harm. I
deliberately told Cleveland that AAK was only 80% confident. In order not to
delay after-sales service, it was recommended for him to find another two
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers that he most recognized, that is, three
manufacturers made samples at the same time. If AAK sample fails, the sample cost
will be returned.
2 months later, Cleveland sent an email and advised
that the standard deviation of the valve hole accuracy of the 3 hydraulic
relief valve manufacturers was out. The test data showed that only the standard
deviation of AAK was benchmarked with SUN hydraulic cartridge relief valves. I
replied that the essence of manufacturing quality is standard deviation. This
is why SUN has selected AAK hydraulic valves for 3 consecutive years, and they
focus on the standard deviation. Cleveland's trust in AAK was thus opened. His
boss was very satisfied with the price of AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve,
which was 30% cheaper than SUN.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, the standard
deviation of valve hole accuracy, benchmarked with SUN, is the result of
comparison and also a fact.
1. In
terms of material, the valve spool of this hydraulic cartridge relief valve is
made of German 20CrNi2MoV bearing steel, and the heat treatment process of
"secondary quenching+cryogenic treatment+low temperature tempering"
is adopted. The micro hardness is 237-247 HV, and the wear resistance is more
than 3 times that of similar steel.
2. On the equipment, the valve hole of hydraulic cartridge
relief valve is finished with Swiss high-precision honing machine, equipped
with diamond oilstone, which is completely ground without trace. The valve hole
accuracy can be within 2μm, the surface roughness is Ra0.2-0.3.
3. In terms of
detection, German Diatest small micropore diameter measuring instrument is
used, the minimum measurement accuracy can reach 0.1μm, and the valves are 100%
full inspected.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valve, benchmarking SUN, and saving cost for 30%,
you can also try a small order!
Bekov is from
a Russian hydraulic equipment company. Most of the hydraulic manifolds in the
past 3 years were purchased from Ningbo and went smoothly. A batch of hydraulic
manifolds purchased last time stumped him due to the precision of valve block
holes. At the beginning of the year, their customer customized a hydraulic
power unit. From the perspective of hydraulic manifold alone, it was not
difficult, but the requirements for the accuracy of the valve block bore
diameter were high. He chose a hydraulic manifold manufacturer in Ningbo who
had cooperated for 3 years to place the order. He thought that the PO was
confirmed by the supplier and his work was completed, but from the start of the
sample, trouble came.
After 50 days,
the hydraulic manifold manufacturer advised that he could not achieve the
accuracy of the valve block aperture. After the processing of 10 valve blocks,
only 2 of them were qualified, and 80% of them were scrapped, so he had to give
up. The supplier seems to be relieved, but it is less than 3 months from the
customer's delivery date, and the hydraulic manifold supplier has not been
determined yet. A week later, Bekov contacted more than 10 hydraulic manifold
manufacturers, but none of them were confident to accept the order. Bekov was
extremely anxious.
Last month, I
received an email from my old Russian customer Sumarokov: Aperture φ 10.3mm, hole depth 90.5mm,
coaxiality requirement: φ 0.025mm, cylindricity
requirement is φ 0.02mm, surface roughness Ra value is
0.8 μm, these precision requirements should not be
difficult for AAK, right? I was a little confused. After communication, I
learned that Bekov, a friend of Sumarokov, faced the problem of aperture
accuracy when purchasing hydraulic manifolds. I replied to Sumarokov, with your
trust, I will solve the problem as quickly as possible to ensure that Bekov is
at ease.
According to the
series of drawings of hydraulic manifold from Bekov, besides the aperture
accuracy, all the others are conventional parts. However, AAK encountered this
aperture precision in processing valve blocks 3 years ago, so now it is fine
for AAK. After 45 days, the hydraulic manifold sample is sent out.
The day before yesterday, Bekov
sent an email. The accuracy of every hole diameter processed by AAK was
approved by their engineer. AAK hydraulic manifold was installed on their
hydraulic power unit, and the equipment was running normally, just waiting for
the purchase quantity of their customer. AAK hydraulic manifold valve hole
precision is ahead of its peers, which originates from 3 points:
1.
Material selection control: before processing, ensure that the material is free
of casting defects and the blank allowance is uniform. Optimize the processing
and cutting parameters according to the accuracy.
2. Equipment selection: Mikron machining center imported
from Switzerland can ensure that the coaxiality of fixture and equipment
rotation and cutter bar is controlled within 0.01mm, and the coaxiality of
precision valve hole is controlled within φ 0.025mm.
3. Process optimization: from
drilling, reaming, rough reaming, fine reaming, reaming and extruding without
edge, 5 links. The increase in outer diameter of each link shall be controlled
at 0.02 mm, and kerosene cooling shall be adopted. It replaces the traditional
process of "drilling, reaming, countersinking, reaming and grinding",
and avoids the expansion of orifice and instability of aperture.
AAK
hydraulic manifold, not only precision, you can also try a small order!
Timothy is from a Greek hydraulic equipment company, and has been in the
company for 5 years. At the beginning of this year, they launched a new
hydraulic injection molding machine, focusing on energy-saving and consumption
reduction. The hydraulic manifold for the machine is designed internally by them,
and they chose a hydraulic manifold manufacturer who has cooperated for 3 years
to try samples. Although the equipment debugging is smooth, the energy consumption
has not been significantly improved. Timothy guessed that the hydraulic manifold
was not efficient, but he had no idea about optimization. The hydraulic manifold
manufacturer has solution neither. Timothy also tried to contact more than 10
hydraulic manifold manufacturers. They either have no reply or have to find out
the reason during sampling. With promoting date approaching, the whole team was
very anxious.
At Google, Timothy browsed AAK's webpage, noticed a series of articles on
hydraulic manifolds, and left a message with 3 questions:
1. Does AAK have the original design capability of hydraulic manifolds?
2. What customers does AAK hydraulic manifolds supply to?
3. How long does it take for AAK to customize a set of hydraulic manifold?
I felt that this is a customer with a real order, and advised that some
of AAK hydraulic manifolds are customized according to the customer's drawings,
some are designed according to the customer's equipment working conditions, and
also helped new customers solve some difficult and complicated cases of
hydraulic manifolds. Honeywell is AAK's hydraulic manifold customer for 6
consecutive years.
On the second day, Timothy sent us the original design drawings of
hydraulic manifold, equipment working conditions, testing videos, and the
original manufacturer's hydraulic manifold pictures. I knew that this was a
matter of trust. As long as the problem could be solved, the order would be
awarded to AAK. Our technical team has discussed internally for 1 day, and we
have the idea to optimize the oil circuit layout of the original hydraulic manifold,
so that the energy consumption can be reduced by 20%. After learning about it, Timothy
directly paid the development fee. After 45 days, AAK sent the hydraulic manifold
samples. 2 months later, Timothy sent an email saying that the AAK newly
designed hydraulic manifold had really reduced the energy consumption of their
hydraulic injection molding machines by more than 20%, and the promotion was
smooth. It was just taking time to place annual order.
The 3 key
points of this hydraulic manifold design are:
1.
The oil circuit should be reasonable: we have MDTools professional software,
and engineers with 17 years of industry experience to operate the oil circuit.
2.
Details are the key: elbows are designed through energy efficiency correlation
and smooth transition methods to minimize pressure drop, while most hydraulic manifold
manufacturers use conventional elbows.
3.
Process is the core: for hydraulic manifold design, we have a complete set of
processes. From hole checking, wire network connection, hole network to
component selection, oil circuit volume and assembly relationship are all
linked. The hydraulic manifold has compact structure, small space occupation
and small pressure loss.
AAK

Alvis
is from Norway and has been in contact with AAK for 1 year. There were some
inquiries for hydraulic manifold blocks, but no actual order. It was not until
December last year that the trust door was completely opened. It took him 6 months
for a special hydraulic manifold block, but it didn't work. AAK solved the
problem with the first sample.
A
set of hydraulic manifold designed by Alvis will be exhibited in America. He
selected a local hydraulic manifold block manufacturer that has cooperated for 3
years to try the sample, but the hydraulic system is unstable. The manufacturer
advised that this hydraulic manifold block has many feedback oil circuits and
control oil circuits, and the oil circuits is composed of small deep holes. The
diameter of the damping hole is less than 1mm, and it is difficult to eliminate
burrs for 100%, which may lead to blockage of the oil circuit. If the original
design requirements of the hydraulic manifold block are not changed, the
manufacturer would not be able to produce it. If the parameters are changed,
the selling point of hydraulic manifold will be lost. Alvis is very distressed.
He also tried to work with several other local hydraulic manifold manufacturers
to make samples, but none of them is able to cooperate with him. In this way, 4
months have been wasted.
Alvis
wanted to try overseas hydraulic suppliers, and sent me an email. According to
his hydraulic manifold block drawing, our technical team analyzed and discussed
it, and concluded that if the original design was not improved, the burr hazard
would still exist. Alvis seemed to think that AAK is unable to sample the
hydraulic manifold block, so he did not have further contact with us. 1 month
later, he came back to us again to discuss this hydraulic manifold block, and asked
about our optimization plan. I realized that he was desperate, and told him
that AAK did not need to change the parameters of the hydraulic manifold block,
but only needed to increase the angle between the two planes greater than 150
°, but the best degree still needed to be explored. Alvis suddenly realized it
and blamed me for not telling him earlier. I joked that he didn't give me a
chance to tell him.
After
changing materials for 2 times, and adjusting the processing parameters for 4
times, it was determined that 158 ° would be the best angle. After 30 days, 3
hydraulic manifold blocks were sent out. 3 weeks later, Alvis told us that the hydraulic
manifold was running stably, meeting the system requirements, and we just need
to wait for the good news of the exhibition. He sighed that for this
exhibition, he was in trepidation for 6 months, but did not expect that the
first sample of AAK was successful. In the future, AAK will be his preferred
supplier for hydraulic manifold blocks. This is also what I said before.
Whether customers buy your products or not is not because of your poor price or
long distance. The root cause is that the trust is not in place.
AAK
hydraulic manifold blocks, in regards to deburring method, the following 3
points are critical:
1.
Select materials with small elongation and deformation hardening index to
effectively suppress burr.
2.
Optimize the valve body structure, the included angle between two planes shall
be greater than 150 °, and the best degree shall be tested continuously.
3.
Use high-pressure solution jet to remove burrs, use solution to weaken the
magnetism of burrs, and then use the instantaneous impact force of liquid to
ensure that the hydraulic manifold block is 100% burr free.
AAK
hydraulic manifold blocks, no burr, no pollution, no leakage, welcome to try!
Lewis
is from a Greek hydraulic equipment company. He has been purchasing hydraulic
components for 3 years and has been successful. At the beginning of the year,
their customer had a trial order for 3 wheel loaders and needed hydraulic cartridge
needle valves. Lewis chose a hydraulic cartridge needle valve manufacturer in
Greek. After using the equipment for 3 months, the customer reported that one
of the equipment failed to rise, which should be due to the abnormal hydraulic
system. After disassembly, it was found that the spool of the hydraulic cartridge
needle valve was stuck in the radial direction, which affected the axial
movement of the screw. The root cause was that the coaxiality of the spool and
the cage of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve was inconsistent. The
manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve advised that it should be
individual phenomena. But 3 weeks later, the customer reported that the other
two devices also had this problem. Lewis realized that the coaxiality accuracy
of the hydraulic cartridge needle valves processed by the this manufacturer was
not up to standard, and he must find a hydraulic valve manufacturer with same
coaxiality for each hydraulic cartridge needle valve. But a week later, no new manufacturer
took over. Lewis was very worried.
From
Google, Lewis noticed that AAK had published articles on coaxiality processing
and left a message asking: How confident is AAK about a hydraulic cartridge
needle valve with 100% consistent coaxiality? The drawing of hydraulic cartridge
needle valve is also attached, which also shows that it is used on the loader
equipment. According to the parameters and equipment requirements, although the
coaxiality is a little difficult to meet, AAK has some experience. We suggested
Lewis trying samples directly. After 40 days, 6 hydraulic cartridge needle valve
samples were sent out.
Last
week, Lewis sent an email. He said that the AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valves
had been installed in the equipment for more than 6 months, and the equipment
had not risen abnormally. Their customer was satisfied with the 3 sets of trial
equipment and was ready to start purchasing in batches. Lewis reminded us that
for the regular order of hydraulic cartridge needle valves, we must control the
coaxiality as same as the samples. I told him that as long as the trial order
sample is approved by the customer, there will be no problem with the regular
order, because AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve can achieve 100% coaxiality
consistency, which depends on 3 key points:
1.
The equipment is advanced: AAK uses high-precision honing machine imported from
Swiss, with German cutters. The accuracy is guaranteed, and the tolerance is
not worried.
2. There are experienced operators: 30 years of technicians,
special personnel assigned for special machine, and every key point and
difficulty of control are engraved in their minds.
3.
The inspection is powerful. 3 coordinate measuring instrument, control valve spool
and valve cage coaxiality detection, 100% full inspection, instead of the select
sampling inspection of peers.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valve, has replaced the Greek hydraulic valve manufacturer.

Sulaiman comes from Brazil, and their
hydraulic cylinder business is mainly with the local engineering machinery
manufacturers. In the second half of last year, a batch of their hydraulic
cylinders used on cranes almost caused an accident. The root cause was the
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, which was lack of function. During
the construction of the crane, the hydraulic oil pipe burst suddenly, and the
crane dropped rapidly to the ground. During on-site inspection, it was found
that the oil cylinder operated normally, and the hydraulic system also complied
with the principle. The local manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valves reported that there was no problem with the manufacturing quality. After
1 week, there was no progress in the after-sales plan. The customer was not
satisfied, the boss was unhappy, and asked everyone to inquire through multiple
channels.
Although this batch of hydraulic counterbalance
valves was not purchased by Sulaiman, he always felt that the reason for the
abnormality of the equipment was the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve.
He tried to ask different hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, but after a
week, he could not get a solution. Sulaiman intended to give up. When he was
browsing Google, he accidentally found AAK Hydraulic Valves. He left a message
to me: I spent 36 minutes on your website and felt that AAK was able to solve
the problems of hydraulic cartridge valves. I need your help.
For customers who leave messages for the
first time, there are few such emotional expressions. After several rounds of
communication, I learned about their after-sales dilemma. According to pictures
of the semi dissection of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve from the
original manufacturer, the drawings of the hydraulic cylinder, and the working
parameters of the equipment, my first feeling is that the control function of
the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is not complete, so the hydraulic counterbalance
valve needs to be redesigned, and at the same time, the protection function of
the cylinder needs to be added. Sulaiman felt that AAK had come to the point.
He paid $800 development cost to AAK at his own expense and asked me to design
and customize 10 hydraulic counterbalance valve samples as soon as possible.
3 months after the samples of the
hydraulic counterbalance valves were sent, Sulaiman told us that after the AAK
hydraulic counterbalance valve was used, the crane was no longer abnormal and
had a more sense of control than before. The customer was very satisfied. I
told him that the hydraulic counterbalance valve designed by AAK has the
function of load limit protection circuit. If the pressure rises too fast in
the case of reverse locking, it will automatically open for overflow, and the
operation of the hydraulic counterbalance valve is not affected by the back
pressure. When the pressure at the valve port increases, it can also maintain a
stable opening of the valve spool, which can achieve the balance protection
control of the hydraulic cylinder. Even if the oil pipe bursts, it can protect
the oil cylinder and prevent the crane from dropping rapidly.
Last week, Sulaiman privately informed that he had been promoted
to the manager of Procurement Department 2, thanks to his after-sales plan this
time. At the same time, he is looking forward to conducting all-round
cooperation with AAK.
AAK hydraulic counterbalance valve, has bright points in control,
and 0 accident. You can also have a small try!
Devante is from a hydraulic
equipment company in Spain. He has been purchasing for 8 years and cooperating
with AAK for 3 years. In June last year, a batch of hydraulic cylinders of
their company were complained of telescoping jitter. During after- sales
service, it was judged that the hydraulic cartridge relief valve of the
hydraulic system was abnormal. After disassembly, it was found that the spring
elasticity in the valve body was out of function. The manufacturer of the
hydraulic cartridge relief valve thought that the high working frequency of oil
cylinder caused spring failure. It could be replaced for free for good cooperation,
but the complaints were increasing later. The boss was not satisfied with the
hydraulic cartridge relief valves purchased by Devante this time, and Devante had
a great pressure.
At
the beginning of last year, their engineer required the manufacturing quality
of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve for the hydraulic cylinder they
developed, to benchmark HydraForce. Devante believed that the function of this hydraulic
cartridge relief valve is relatively conventional, so he chose a hydraulic cartridge
relief valve manufacturer with competitive price. Unexpectedly, the service
life would be exhausted in less than 6 months. Devante regreted choosing the
wrong hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer. He redefined the quality of this hydraulic
cartridge relief valve: no repair within 1 year, and the service life of the
built-in spring shall not be less than 18 months. In 1 week, only 2 hydraulic
relief valve manufacturers accepted to try the samples, and AAK was one of
them. 1 month later, the samples of hydraulic cartridge relief valves from 2
manufacturers were installed on different hydraulic cylinders, to PK directly.
Last week, Devante emailed that the
hydraulic cartridge relief valves of the cylinders had been replaced. In 1
year, there was no customer complaint about the hydraulic cylinder installed
with AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves, while the other one was just stuck in
1 year. Their engineer tested the built-in spring of AAK. After 1 year of high
frequency work, its fatigue resistance was still like a new material. I replied
that the difficulty of this hydraulic cartridge relief valve is just the
fatigue resistance of the spring. As long as this is solved, you will have no
worries about using it for 18 months.
For the spring of this hydraulic cartridge relief valve, AAK
uses German UP6 spring steel, which is optimized according to 60Si2Mn alloy
steel. Its strength and elasticity can be fully suitable in military equipment.
The fatigue resistance of the spring is more than 3 times that of other carbon
steel springs, which is the core reason why the other manufacturer’s has been out
of use in 1 year, while AAK's is worry free in 18 months. Although the cost of
this spring is more than 2 times higher than that of other materials, even if
the cost of the material is 3 to 5 times higher, the best one should be chosen.
Things that are not good enough cannot be used by AAK, let alone given to
users.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief
valve, worry free in 18 months, welcome you to try a small order!
Cleveland is from a Polish hydraulic equipment
company. After 3 months of employment, he had trouble purchasing hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valves for the first time. At the beginning of this year, their
client company customized a hydraulic transmission unit, which has high
requirements about the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve in the lifting
hydraulic circuit, and its function directly determines the transmission
effect. Their engineer suggested purchasing SUN hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valves, but SUN hydraulics has no stock. Cleveland had to find a hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve manufacturer to make samples. His colleague suggested a
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve supplier that had cooperated with him
for 4 years. That manufacturer was some hesitated, but was willing to try. During
the commissioning, the hydraulic transmission unit was abnormal and the
operation was unstable. This hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve manufacturer
had no solution. The engineer has been pushing for progress, and Cleveland, a
novice, paniced.
Cleveland tried to find the manufacturer of
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves online, and found AAK on Google. He
noticed that AAK had some customer cases about hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valves. He asked by email about the lead time for customizing the hydraulic
cartridge counterbalance valve, and asked for benchmarking SUN valve. I felt
that this is an inquiry with a real order. After communication, I learned that
as a novice, he encountered difficulties and needed AAK's help. According to
his drawing of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, the internal structure
is complex, and the accuracy is within 1μm. In particular, there are 6
requirements for coaxiality, and the sliding clearance of valve spool is very
small. No wonder their engineer asked to purchase SUN hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve. AAK was willing to sample, and was 90% confident. Cleveland
was worried, but he believed me. After 60 days, AAK sent 10 hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve samples.
3 weeks later, Cleveland sent an
email of thanks. After AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve was
installed in the hydraulic transmission unit, the commissioning was smooth, the
engineer was satisfied, and the boss praised him. AAK hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve is subject to strict manufacturing quality, function benchmarking
SUN valve and performance benchmarking SUN valve, too. It is difficult to find
the 3rd manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve that can meet
the following 3 points at the same time in Ningbo.
1. On the equipment, OKK
ultra precision machine tool imported from Japan is used to produce this
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, and the machining accuracy can reach
0.01~0.3μm. Ensure that the coaxiality of 6 parts of each hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve is completely consistent.
2.
In terms of process control, AAK engineer follow up every processing link in
the whole process, and constantly adjust the procedures until the accuracy
reaches the standard.
3.
In terms of detection, each hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve hole and element shall be accurately measured with the
German Diatest high-precision micro pore diameter measuring instrument and the
three coordinate measuring instrument, and the minimum measurement accuracy
range can reach 0.1μm. Ensure that the coaxiality of each element is
consistent.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, dare to challenge high difficulty,
you can also have a small try!
AAK
hydraulic valve block, from a five axis CNC machining center, is milled with a
thread milling cutter, completely replacing the traditional radial drilling
machine processed with a formed tap, and the thread surface roughness value is
Ra1.6μm. The traditional Ra is at 12.5μm. Ra alone has increased sevenfold.
Archie purchased AAK hydraulic valve blocks, which not only stopped losing more
than 30,000 dollars, but also made an additional profit of more than 10%.
For
the hydraulic valve block with conical pipe thread, the pipe thread cannot
completely seal oil, which is an industry problem. The vast majority of hydraulic
valve block manufacturers use traditional radial drilling machines and formed
taps for processing. The surface roughness of their threads is a
"mine", especially the processing of offset holes, which is a hot
potato.
Archie,
from Australia, purchased most of his hydraulic valve blocks from India, but
these hydraulic valve block manufacturers use radial drilling machines for
processing. Archie did not know that this traditional process cannot afford to
process tapered pipe threads. The order of more than 30,000 dollars in his hand
had been involved for 4 months, but the sample of the hydraulic valve block had
not passed the standard. The customer was not satisfied. Archie wanted to give
up the order, but he was very depressed because of his high profit and
unwilling to lose the customer.
Archie
occasionally noticed many customer cases of AAK hydraulic valve blocks through
B2B. He sent an email to ask if it is possible to produce a special hydraulic
valve block for him. After AAK technical team refined the drawings, the whole
processing process was implemented and had a foundation. I told him that the
bottom diameter of the oil hole and valve hole of this hydraulic valve block is
large, and most of them are offset holes. At the same time, the taper pipe thread
of the oil hole is large, and the oil pressure under working conditions is
large, so if accuracy can not be guaranteed, all efforts will be wasted. Archie
may realize that when come to the point, and asked us to make samples.
After
25 days, 5 hydraulic valve block samples were sent out. 3 weeks later, Archie
informed us that the customer had approved the manufacturing quality of AAK
hydraulic valve blocks, and that there was no tooth breakage on the thread,
especially the thread surface roughness value is Ra1.6μm, the customer was
amazed, and the whole sealing performance of the hydraulic valve block was also
recognized after the pressure test. 6 years ago, AAK hydraulic valve block was
processed with a five axis CNC machining center, instead of the traditional
radial drilling machine. A thread milling cutter is used to program for
milling. At the same time, according to the pipe thread size, the spiral
interpolation milling can obtain stable thread quality, and the thread surface
roughness can reach Ra1.6μm. The hidden trouble that the pipe thread cannot
seal oil is completely solved.
A
few days ago, Archie told me privately that AAK hydraulic valve blocks not only
saved the customer for him, but also increased his extra profit by more than
10%. The boss was very happy and his authority was also great.
AAK
hydraulic valve blocks, good at high precision, you are welcome to have a small
try!
Caspar
is from a hydraulic transmission equipment company in Canada. He has been in
purchasing for 5 years, and it is very smooth. In the first half of this year,
a batch of hydraulic transmission units they sold was complained by customers
that they often had cavitation. The first judgment should be that the hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valve in the hydraulic system is abnormal, but the
engineer thought that the valve was from the SUN hydraulics and should not have
problem. He subconsciously thought that the hydraulic pump that Caspar
purchased from China had a leak. After the test, it was found that the pressure
at the outlet of the pump was stable. After checking one by one, only hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valves from SUN were not checked, but the valve
parameters were normal. The engineer was puzzled. After communicating with each
hydraulic component manufacturer of the equipment, Caspar came to the
conclusion that this SUN hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve may not be
suitable for this hydraulic transmission equipment. However, none of the
manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves can solve the
hidden danger of cavitation, so they can only turn to SUN for help. But SUN was
not interested in customizing small quantities. Caspar was helpless and
anxious.
Caspar
found AAK while browsing Google. According to our background trace, he stayed
on AAK website for more than 30 minutes, and left a message: Is the cavitation
of the equipment caused by the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve in
the system? This needs to be specifically analyzed, according to SUN standard
part number, hydraulic schematic diagram, equipment technical parameters, and
used scenarios, AAK engineer believed that the SUN hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve of this model does not meet the special requirements of the
equipment. AAK can sample the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, and
it is 90% sure to solve the cavitation complaint. After 45 days, 10 samples of
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves were sent out.
Last
week, Caspar emailed that there was no cavitation after AAK hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve was used. The customer was very satisfied, but still had
to continue to observe for several months. I told Caspar that AAK hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve had eliminated the cavitation hazard of the equipment in
terms of function. As long as AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve is
within the service life, cavitation will not occur.
How
did this hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve replace SUN standard parts
in function? In AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, there are two
valve spools, separated by a spring, which is fixed in between 2 valve cages.
The set value of overflow pressure can be set by adjusting the valve cage. At
the same time, there is a damper between the two valve spools, which can
provide positive damping of the hydraulic system. The valve can limit any input
pressure in the inlet pipeline, prevent impact or pressure fluctuation when the
actuator changes direction or stops suddenly, and also allow oil to enter the
low pressure pipeline to supplement the oil drainage or any discharged flow.
Its two-way cross type function can deliver the discharged oil to other
pipelines to ensure the actuator is refilled with oil and eliminate cavitation.
AAK
customized hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve has more functions than
SUN, and you can also have a small try!
Amistad is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Spain. His purchase has been smooth in the past 3 years. Some time ago, their
company developed an automatic hydraulic ladder truck, and the hydraulic cartridge
needle valve used was from a local supplier who had cooperated with their
company for 3 years. During the commissioning of the hydraulic ladder truck, a
hidden danger was found: the ladder truck fell slightly after the operating
lever was suspended. After troubleshooting, the root cause was locked in the
hydraulic cartridge needle valve. After testing the hydraulic cartridge needle
valve individually, there was no leakage and no abnormal function. The
manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve recommended that another
hydraulic cartridge check valve be integrated to assist the hydraulic cartridge
needle valve. However, this would change the original design of the manifold
and increase the cost, and this solution was rejected by the boss. Amistad contacted
more than 10 hydraulic cartridge needle valve manufacturers, but after a week,
it didn't work out. Amistad was worried.
Amistad found AAK while browsing Google and left a
message: How to optimize the hydraulic cartridge needle valve for hydraulic
equipment with abnormal lifting? I guessed that he was in trouble when
purchasing hydraulic cartridge needle valves. After communication, I learned
the above story. According to his hydraulic schematic diagram, production
drawings of hydraulic cartridge needle valve, and equipment working video, I
told him first that it was not advisable to add components to the hydraulic
manifold, which showed that the ability to control the hydraulic cartridge
needle valve was not enough. Among the 5 steps of Musk's work method by Tesla's
boss, 2 of them mentioned to simplify or optimize the traditional processes or
components.
Amistad seemed very interested in my idea. He was willing
to try it once and asked us to sample it. After 45 days, AAK sent 6 samples of
the hydraulic cartridge needle valve. 3 weeks later, he told me that after AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valve was installed on the ladder truck, it really
eliminated the risk of "slight falling". He asked me to provide the
price of this hydraulic cartridge needle valve. Strangely, 6 months after the
price was sent, there was no any news from Amistad. Last week, Amistad suddenly
"showed up", and sent a PO for 360 hydraulic cartridge needle valves,
without discussing the price. He specifically mentioned that the high stability
of their ladder truck conquered their users, and the equipment reservation
exceeded expectations.
How
does AAK optimize the hydraulic cartridge needle valve? In view of this hidden
danger, we adopt the proportional screw type instead of the traditional sliding
type, whose valve seat sealing performance is improved by at least 30%, and has
good compression resistance. AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve has 3 major
functions (multistage flow, stable load and rapid check) and 2 major
performances (stability and reliability). It only needs a joystick to achieve
precise positioning, and the flow of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve is
zero, so there will be no leakage. The ladder truck can be instantly fixed at
the designated position without falling. Most of the hydraulic systems of ladder
trucks not only have hydraulic cartridge needle valves, but also have hydraulic
cartridge check valves, which is not only costly, but also has potential
stability problems. I think that maybe this is the reason why the ladder trucks
of Amistad’s Company are so popular.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valve is stable and reliable. You can also have a
small try!
Carver is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Spain. He has engaged in purchasing hydraulic manifolds for 3 years, and has
been smooth. At the beginning of this year, their company customized 2 sets of
hydraulic units for a customer. The hydraulic manifolds used were from a local manufacturer.
After 60 days, the equipment was successfully delivered to the customer. 1 month
later, the customer reported that the hydraulic unit had stable performance and
they were satisfied with its functions. However, they wanted to replace some
hydraulic components to realize the multi-function of the equipment, but the
complex structure of hydraulic manifold restricted this idea. According to the
feedback of the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer, it would take 90 days
to meet the customer's idea, and the cost would be increased by 50%. However,
the customer did not accept the price increase, and can only give 60 days. The
boss asked Carver to find a new hydraulic manifold manufacturer. He tried to
contact more than 10 hydraulic manifold manufacturers, but it was fruitless
after 1 week. The boss was not satisfied, Carver was worried.
Carver browsed AAK at Google, noticed that AAK had
released a series of customer cases about hydraulic manifolds, and left a
message: Can AAK design and sample a compact multi-functional hydraulic manifold
within 60 days, and it is also easy to install and maintain? I replied in 2
points:
1. Honeywell, one of the world's top 500 enterprises, is also a loyal
hydraulic manifold customer of AAK.
2. AAK has tested 230 sets of hydraulic manifolds for 17 customers.
Carver may have felt the specialty of AAK hydraulic manifolds.
He sent me all the original drawings, even the complete set of drawings of the
hydraulic unit. I received his trust in AAK. After half a day of internal discussion,
AAK engineers came up with a plan, and were 90% confident to complete it within
50 days. Carver was surprised at the development time of AAK and satisfied with
the price of AAK hydraulic manifold. I also told him that there was no need to
worry about the manufacturing quality of AAK hydraulic manifold. Maybe AAK's
progressiveness was not necessarily better than that of the Spanish
manufacturers, but the reliability and stability of AAK hydraulic manifolds
must be comparable, even better than that of Spanish hydraulic manifold
manufacturers. After 50 days, AAK sent 5 sets of hydraulic manifolds.
Yesterday, Carver emailed that the customer was very
satisfied with their newly designed hydraulic unit. The internal hydraulic manifold
is easy to install and replace, and the maintenance cost is also low. Carver
placed an order for 500 hydraulic manifolds, and expressed his gratitude. He
said that the hydraulic manifold designed by AAK was really different,
especially in its compact structure, convenient installation and maintenance,
and satisfactory performance after 6 months of tracking. Their customer was
preparing the annual order, and he asked me to prepare the production plan in
advance.
AAK hydraulic manifold surpassed the Spanish manufacturers, due
to the following 3 points. It may be difficult to find the third hydraulic manifold
manufacturer like AAK in China.
1.
Layout positioning is the foundation: engineer with 23 years of industry
experience fromHAWE, use NGSA algorithm to intelligently optimize the external
layout and internal hole layout, making the system circuit more stable.
2. Production process is the core: for hydraulic manifold
design, AAK have a complete set of processes. From hole checking, wire network
connection, hole network to component selection, oil circuit volume and
assembly relationship, they are all precisely linked. The hydraulic manifold
occupies less space, has less pressure loss, less leakage and less vibration.
3. High cost performance is the killer: AAK hydraulic manifold
reduces pipeline connections and joints, reduces system complexity, and reduces
energy consumption. Compact structure, convenient installation, low maintenance
cost, less leakage and small vibration.
AAK hydraulic manifolds, cost-effective is the trump card,
and are supplied to the world’s top 500 Enterprises. You can also try a small
order.
Zenon is from a hydraulic
equipment company in Mexico. He has purchased hydraulic components from the
United States for 4 years smoothly. His boss learned that more and more
colleagues are purchasing from China, and also asked Zenon to try to contact
China hydraulic valve manufacturers. Unexpectedly, he was stumped when he
purchased hydraulic cartridge flow control valves the first time. At the
beginning of the year, their company customized a hydraulic lifting equipment
for a customer, which required to use hydraulic cartridge flow control valves.
Zenon found a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer in Ningbo to make samples
for the hydraulic cartridge flow control valves. During equipment debugging,
the lifting positioning was abnormal. Their engineer judged that the hydraulic cartridge
flow control valve was abnormal. After the manufacturer tested the hydraulic cartridge
flow control valve, its parameters met the requirements of the drawing. Their
engineer asked the manufacturer to further optimize the hydraulic cartridge flow
control valve, but the manufacturer was unable to do it. Zenon had to change
the manufacturer. After 1 week, no manufacturer was willing to make samples,
because there was no direction and great uncertainty. The boss has been pushing,
and Zenon was under pressure.
Zenon
found AAK on Google, stayed on AAK website for more than 7 minutes, noticed
that AAK mainly supplies some big brands of hydraulic cartridge valves in the
United States. Perhaps he saw the hope from AAK and left a message:
1. Is the hydraulic cartridge flow
control valve the root cause of abnormal hydraulic lifting and positioning?
2. Can AAK optimize the hydraulic
cartridge flow control valve?
3. How long does it take for
AAK to customize the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve?
AAK
website has messages every day. For such specific and targeted messages, I always
give priority to them. After communication, I learned the dilemma of the
hydraulic cartridge flow control valves he purchased from the original
manufacturer. According to the original design drawings and the video of equipment
on-site commissioning, AAK engineers believed that the probability of the
problem lies in the control mode of the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve,
and we have specific plans to optimize it. Zenon relaxed and asked AAK to make
samples. After 30 days, AAK sent 12 samples of hydraulic cartridge flow control
valves.
3 weeks
later, Zenon said that the equipment debugging was smooth, and the lifting and
positioning were normal. The customer was very satisfied with the customized prototype,
and would send regular order if there was no abnormality after a trial period. I
told Zenon that AAK has confidence on the hydraulic cartridge flow control
valves, and can wait patiently for the customer's regular order. We have facts
had proved it.
For this hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, the
valve port flow is not only related to the valve opening area, but also related
to the pressure difference before and after the valve port. We use closed loop
to control the flow of the valve. First, connect the spring chamber with the
non spring chamber through the flow channel, and set the return spring and the
valve spool on the same axis, with one end connected to the valve body and the
other end connected to the valve spool for valve spool reset. In this way, the
flow will not change with the change of load pressure, and the flow of the
control system will change with the set value. The advantages of such
optimization: accurate control, small pressure loss and flexible operation.
Most hydraulic cartridge flow control valves adopt open loop control, which has
low control accuracy, complex mechanical structure and large pressure loss.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve has precise control, small pressure loss
and flexible operation. You can also have a small try!
Mason is from a hydraulic
equipment company in India. It has been 3 years since he purchased hydraulic cartridge
valves from local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in India. At the
beginning of this year, their company developed a hydraulic crane and needed hydraulic
cartridge counterbalance valves. They chose a local hydraulic counterbalance
valve manufacturer who has cooperated for 5 years to make samples. During the
equipment debugging, it was found that the crane vibrated during the descending
process and the descending speed was abnormal. The after-sales servicer
believed that the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve was abnormal. After
the original manufacturer inspected the hydraulic counterbalance valves, all
parameters were in accordance with the drawing parameter requirements. After
internal discussion, it was concluded that the hydraulic counterbalance valve
must be optimized, but the original manufacturer had no ability to do it. The
boss asked Mason to look for overseas suppliers of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valves. A week has passed, the manufacturer of the hydraulic counterbalance
valve has not been determined yet. The boss was not satisfied. Mason began to
worry.
Mason found AAK on Google, stayed
on AAK website for 23 minutes, and left a message: Can AAK design a hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve to solve the instability and abnormal speed of the
hydraulic crane during the descending process? For those who stay on AAK
website for a long time, no matter which country they come from, as long as
they are not hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, I will do my best to help.
After communication, I learned that Mason was embarrassed to purchase hydraulic
cartridge counterbalance valves. According to his system schematic diagram,
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve drawing and crane working video, AAK engineer
had a basic idea. 3 days later, AAK began to sample. After 40 days, AAK sent 6
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve samples.
A month later, Mason
emailed that after the new hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve designed by
AAK was used, the hydraulic crane did not shake during the load lowering
process, and the speed was even. Their colleagues were very confident in the
promotion of the cranes, and the boss was also happy.
AAK does not use the
traditional route to optimize the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve.
According to the system diagram of the equipment and the abnormality of the crane,
the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is composed of valve body, valve seat,
main valve spool, pilot valve spool and pilot mechanism. First, connect the
valve seat with the valve body to establish a connected first channel. The
extended end of the valve seat is connected with the pilot mechanism to
establish a second channel. The main valve spool adopts sliding setting, and is
equipped with throttling groove and orifice. Then the valve seat cavity is
divided into 3 cavities, one end of the valve spool is in the inner cavity, and
the other end is connected with the pilot mechanism. The valve spool is
flexible, controllable and free from load interference.
Last week, Mason told me
privately that his boss decided to increase the purchase of hydraulic cartridge
valves from China and give him more authority. He was more confident in his
work
AAK hydraulic
cartridge counterbalance valve, is not only a surprise, you can also have a
small try!
Richard,
a hydraulic customer from Bolivia, failed to purchase hydraulic cartridge relief
valves from China for the first time. Richard has purchased hydraulic
components from local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Bolivia for 3
years. He heard from his peers that the cost performance of purchasing from
China is better than that of Bolivian hydraulic valve manufacturers, so he
began his overseas procurement trip. A hydraulic cartridge relief valve with
rated pressure exceeding 30MPa, and the fit clearance between valve body and
valve spool is required to be 0.006~0.01mm. Richard successively tried samples
with 3 hydraulic cartridge relief valve manufacturers in 70 days. The hydraulic
cartridge relief valve samples had either internal and external leakage,
blocked oil circuit, or even stuck. 3 times of proofing failed, which made Richard
helpless and even suspected that he was misled by his domestic peers.
Richard
noticed AAK on the B2B website and saw some tweets and customer cases to solve
the problems of hydraulic cartridge valves, especially some big brands such as HydraForce
and SUN Hydraulics, are also loyal customers of AAK for many years. He seemed
to see hope and left a message to us: How much MPa can the rated pressure of
the hydraulic cartridge relief valve with a clearance of 0.006~0.01mm between
the valve body and the valve spool be? When I saw this message, I
subconsciously felt that he had stumbled in the accuracy when purchasing this
hydraulic cartridge relief valve, and he was inexperienced in choosing the hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturer.
According
to the problems of his hydraulic cartridge relief valve samples, AAK technical
team determined that the problem was caused by burrs inside the hydraulic cartridge
relief valve. However, the specific problem still depends on the sample
analysis. I suggested Richard making samples directly to see the manufacturing
quality of AAK hydraulic relief valves. Maybe that will change his view on China
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. After 30 days, AAK sent 10 samples of
hydraulic cartridge relief valve. 6 months later, Richard emailed us that AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valves did not have the problems of "internal
and external leakage, or blockage of the oil path or stagnation" that
occurred in other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, which also
strengthened his confidence in purchasing from China hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers.
How
to effectively avoid burrs of hydraulic cartridge relief valves? It is also a
"thorn" that AAK has to remove since it was engaged in the R&D
and manufacturing of hydraulic components. With 13 years of manufacturing
experience, AAK can be sensitive to find problems and solve them. In the
processing of hydraulic cartridge relief valves, the undercut of the main valve
hole is the place where the most burrs are generated. The traditional
processing technology is: first rough boring, then semi fine boring, then
milling the undercut, and finally reaming. The burr generated after reaming is
in the same direction as the axis line of the hole, and is sunk in the
undercut, which is difficult to remove completely. AAK has already optimized
the process route: first rough boring, then semi fine boring, then reaming, and
finally milling and sinking the groove. The burr generated is perpendicular to
the axis line, and there is no dead angle, which is easy to observe and remove.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valve, no burr, no leakage, no clamping stagnation,
welcome to try the order!
Primo is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Brazil. He has been smooth in this industry for 5 years, but encountered
trouble in a hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. At the beginning of
this year, their company sold a batch of hydraulic supports. After 6 months,
the customer reported that the pipeline interface was suddenly broken. The
after-sales server thought it would be OK to replace the pipes, but a week
later, an accident was almost caused and the customer was angry. The original
source is the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. When the control
valve is opened in reverse direction, the system oil overflows rapidly with a
large amount, and the impact pressure causes the fracture of the pipeline
interface. The manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valves fed back that the high pressure and large flow under operating
conditions caused abnormal control, which had nothing to do with the
manufacturing quality of the valves, the only solution is to replace with new
ones. Primo had no choice but to change the manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valves. A week has passed but the after-sales plan has not
been implemented yet. The boss was unhappy and Primo was worried.
Primo found AAK on Google. After browsing AAK
website, he left a message: How to ensure the stability of the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valves with high pressure resistance and large flow? After
communication, I learned that the original hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer
had no solution. I told him that AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve should first ensure its reliability, not replace the pipeline interface
today, but replace the seal ring tomorrow, and then ensure its stability, it cannot
be the case that sometimes it is abnormal, sometimes it is normal. Perhaps
Primo felt that AAK was different from the other China hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers he contacted, and asked if we could make samples according
to the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve drawing and system
schematic diagram provided by him. AAK engineer thought that the design of the
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve should be optimized first. Primo’s
engineer said that AAK can play its own role as long as the appearance and size
remain unchanged and the functions are satisfied. After 50 days, AAK sent 12
samples of hydraulic cartridge directional control valves.
2
weeks later, Primo emailed that the hydraulic support could operate normally
after installing AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. Next, he
just needed to wait for his customer to assess the stability of the hydraulic
supports. I told him that he does not need to worry about the stability of AAK
hydraulic cartridge directional control valves, even under high pressure and
large flow, there would be no problem in 1 year. Last week, Primo sent the
order for 360 hydraulic cartridge directional control valves, reminding me that
this was the request of his boss. In order to avoid accidents, the boss decided
to replace all the hydraulic supports with AAK Hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves, because the customer was very satisfied with this after-sales
plan, the hydraulic support has been used for 9 months without any abnormality.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, is resistant to high pressure
and has large flow, focuses on stability and reliability, and is optimized from
the following 3 points. It has impressed Primo who has been in purchasing for 5
years, and also impressed his engineers and boss, making customers more
satisfied.
1.
Optimize the opening of hydraulic cartridge directional control valve spool.
The bigger the opening, the weaker the impact of system oil shock and fluid
energy. But this opening must be moderate. If it is too large, it will
backfire. Here's the trick.
2.
Using the dynamic characteristic curve, the best matching between the oil
pressure and the half cone angle of the small valve spool is refined. The
suitable half cone angle of the small valve spool can effectively reduce the
pressure impact and increase the stability during the opening process.
3. At the outer side of
the large diameter end of the valve spool and at the beginning of the threaded
connection on the inner wall of the valve body, a stop ring is set, which is
also conducive to the stability of the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve.
AAK
hydraulic directional control valve, under high pressure and large flow, has
twice the stability of its peers. You can also have a small try!
Dolly is from a
hydraulic equipment company in Peru. His boss thinks highly of him and plans to
promote him to be purchasing manager, but a hydraulic cartridge relief valve stumped
him. In the first half of last year, they sold a batch of hydraulic power
units. 3 months later, the customer complained that the adjusting screw of the
hydraulic cartridge relief valve had serious slippage, and the failure to
adjust led to the strike of the equipment. The hydraulic cartridge relief valve
manufacturer advised that this hydraulic cartridge relief valve benchmarks HydraForce,
and the material is the same as HydraForce. The adjusting screw slipped after 3
months, which was caused by the high frequency of use. It can only be replaced
with new ones. But it still slipped after 3 months. The customer was not
satisfied, and the boss was also angry. He asked Dolly to replace the
manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve with a new one and ensure
that it was safe for 1 year. Dolly became to be under great pressure.
Dolly noticed AAK
hydraulic valve website on Google and left a message: What is the root cause
for the regulating screw of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve to slip in 3
months? As soon as I saw this message, I guessed that he had encountered a
customer complaint. After communication, I learned that the original
manufacturer had replaced the valves twice, the sliding problem was still not
solved. This is the first time that I have met such a model, but AAK engineer
said confidently that it would not be difficult to solve the problem and
guarantee it for 1 year. After 30 days, AAK sent 30 hydraulic cartridge relief
valves.
Last week, Dolly sent an
order for 960 hydraulic cartridge relief valves, specifically referring to
AAK's hydraulic cartridge relief valve adjusting screw. More than 1 year later,
there was no slippage, and the customer was satisfied. AAK hydraulic cartridge relief
valve has been used at high frequency for 1 year without damage, mainly due to the
following 3 aspects:
1. Special material
selection: GCr15 high carbon chromium bearing steel is selected as the
regulating screw of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve. After special heat treatment,
its hardness and wear resistance are increased by 30%. Most hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers do not pay attention to the regulating screw and select
carbon steel.
2. Special heat treatment: the regulating screw is first
heated to 810 ℃, isothermal
annealed to 720 ℃, then air cooled, then oil quenched
at 860 ℃, then carbonitriding at 830 ℃ for 3 hours, oil quenched, cryogenic treated at - 60 ℃ to - 70 ℃, finally tempered at 150 ℃ to 60 ℃, then air cooled, and finally the
hardness can reach HRC67. General manufacturers cannot master the details of
this heat treatment. Targeted geothermal treatment: the regulating screw is
first heated to 810 ℃, isothermal annealed to 720 ℃, then air cooled, then oil quenched at 860 ℃, then carbonitriding at 830 ℃ for 3 hours,
oil quenched, cryogenic treated at - 60 ℃ to - 70 ℃, finally tempered at 150 ℃ to 60 ℃, then air cooled, and finally the hardness can reach HRC67. General
factories cannot master the details of this heat treatment.
3. Special testing:
each adjusting screw is tested with a Rockwell hardness tester, and the
hardness reaches the standard for 100%.
Today, Dolly told me
privately that his promotion to be a purchasing manager has been hold for more
than a month. The boss officially promoted him today, and he became more and
more energetic.
AAK hydraulic cartridge
relief valve, the details ignored by peers, we pay close attention strictly,
you can try a small order!
Timon is from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing
company in the Netherlands. He has been smooth on purchasing hydraulic cartridge
valves from China. A hydraulic cartridge proportional control valve he purchased
in the second half of last year was in trouble. For a customer, they customized
a hydraulic forging presses, which require high speed when unloaded and low
speed when overloaded. The key to the stability of the hydraulic system and the
stepless speed control of the equipment is the hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valve. Timon worked with a manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valves who has cooperated with them for 3 years to try samples. During
equipment commissioning, the main working cylinder had abnormal pressure
relief, which would seriously affect the service life of the equipment. After
several rounds of inspection, the problem was locked in the structure of the
hydraulic cartridge proportional control valve, but the original manufacturer
was unable to optimize it. Timon contacted more than 10 hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers. A week passed, but there was no solution. Their engineer
has push for progress 3 times.
Timon found AAK Hydraulic Valve on Google, stayed on
our website for 11 minutes, and left a message:
1. Can AAK optimize the structure of a hydraulic cartridge
proportional control valve?
2. Can the optimized hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valve improve the large pressure impact of the hydraulic system?
3. What is the lead time and development cost for
customizing the hydraulic cartridge proportional control valve?
After communication, we
learned about Timon's procurement dilemma. After checking the system schematic
diagram and original design drawings of his hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valve, AAK engineers understood the direction of optimization. When Timon
learned that AAK was 90% sure to be successful, he asked us to make samples. After
30 days, AAK sent 10 samples of hydraulic cartridge proportional control
valves. 3 weeks later, Timon said that the equipment had been delivered to the
customer, and their engineers were very satisfied with AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valve, which completely solved the problem of large pressure impact in
the hydraulic system of the forging press.
AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valve can accurately control small flow and large flow, with small flow
fluctuation and small pressure impact. The key is that AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional
control valve has the function of variable flow gain. The structure is that the
lower part of the hollow valve spool is put into the valve cage and sealed with
the valve cage line. The upper part of the hollow valve spool is matched with
the control cover plate. The upper end of the control cover plate is connected
with the valve cover, and the valve cover is equipped with a displacement
sensor. A pilot control valve is installed on the side of the control cover
plate. The port at the bottom of the valve spool is processed with a
semicircular hole, and the valve cage is provided with 4 symmetrical waist
holes. With the optimized structure, when the opening of the hydraulic cartridge
proportional control valve is small, the flow gain is small, and high-precision
linear control of small flow can be realized. When the opening amount is large,
the flow gain is large, and high-precision linear control of large flow can be
realized. Under the high-precision linear control of large flow, the hydraulic cartridge
proportional control valve has small flow fluctuation, small pressure impact,
and the service life of the valve is increased by at least 30%.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge proportional control valve, variable flow gain function,
you can also have a small try!
Stephen is from a hydraulic
equipment manufacturing company in Greece, and his 3-year procurement is very
successful. At the beginning of the year, their customer customized the
company's large tonnage cranes, with very high requirements for hydraulic cartridge
directional control valves. Stephen chose a local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer
who has cooperated with him for 3 years to make samples. During the prototype
debugging, the connecting pipeline of the oil cylinder burst, causing the boom
to drop abnormally. Their engineers advised that the key is to optimize the
load balance of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve. The manufacturer
said that this hydraulic cartridge directional control valve benchmarks a
standard part of HydraForce and cannot be improved. Stephen contacted more than
10 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, but none of them was willing to
improve the standard parts of HydraForce. Stephen was very worried.
Stephen found AAK while
browsing Google. He noticed that AAK was continuously supplying HydraForce and
left a message: Can AAK optimize the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve of HydraForce standard parts? I guess that he encountered trouble in
purchasing hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. After communication,
I learned the story above. According to his hydraulic schematic diagram,
production drawings of hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, and
equipment work videos, AAK engineer said that the original system was designed
as a double cylinder luffing structure. During the luffing operation, the
cylinder motion was not synchronous. When the system was suddenly loaded, the
double cylinders were biased and the pipeline burst. Only by optimizing the
structure of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve can the load
balance of the system be improved. Stephen saw the hope and paid the
development cost on the second day. After 35 days, AAK sent 12 samples of
hydraulic cartridge directional control valves.
2 weeks later, Stephen informed by email that after
replacing with AAK hydraulic cartridge direction control valves, the prototype
debugging was smooth, no pipeline burst, and the equipment had been delivered to
the customer. After the customer tried, there would be an official order.
AAK optimized the structure of
the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, and set small tricks on the
first and second oil ports of the valve body. The oil passage between the first
oil port and the valve chamber is equipped with a detachable damper, and the
inner wall of the valve chamber at one side of the second oil port is provided
with a boss extending radially. After this optimization, the oil pressure
connected to the first oil port and the second oil port of the valve can act on
both ends of the valve spool respectively, and the valve spool can slide
between the first working position and the second working position under the
action of the pressure oil. When the valve spool is in the first working
position, the first oil port of the valve body is connected to the second oil
port, and when the valve spool is in the second working position, the oil path
between the first oil port and the second oil port of the valve body is not
connected.
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve, no longer need to worry about safety, you can also try a small order!
Castel is from Saudi
Arabia, and their company mainly sells oil mining machinery. At the beginning
of last year, one of their hydraulic platforms was complained, and the
equipment went on strike 8 - 9 months later. After checking, it was found that
the shoulder and pin hole of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve spool in the
system were broken. The hydraulic cartridge needle valve manufacturer advised
that the same model of hydraulic cartridge needle valve was supplied to the
South American market. Within 1 year, there was no complaint. The manufacturer explained
that the brittle fracture of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve spool was
caused by the working conditions and working scenarios. The boss was not
satisfied with the manufacturer's buck passing, and asked Castel to found a
manufacturer whose hydraulic cartridge needle valve can be used for more than 1
year. Based on the requirement of "hydraulic cartridge needle valve can be
used in desert with a service life of more than 1 year", Castel started to
look for new cartridge valve manufacturers. After 1 week, there was no result.
Castel was a little flustered.
Castel noticed the article published by AAK in
B2B that "AAK hydraulic counterbalance valves have been used in Sandstorm
for 12 months, was free of corrosion”, he emailed us to ask if AAK can
customize the hydraulic cartridge needle valves used in desert with a service
life of more than 1 year. After communication, we learned that he had trouble
in purchasing hydraulic cartridge needle valves. The durability of the
hydraulic cartridge needle valve is related to the material, but the structure
can not be ignored, especially for the complex working conditions, it should be
designed specifically. Castel may have seen hope, and asked AAK to make 20 samples
of hydraulic cartridge needle valves. After 45 days, AAK delivered the trial
order.
After
the hydraulic cartridge needle valves were sent out for 2 months, there was no information
from Castel. I followed up curiously, and he said that the boss would not reply
until 1 year later, then there was no information anymore. I almost forgot
about Castel. Until last week, he emailed us an order for 600 hydraulic cartridge
needle valves, and specially emphasized that the second batch of hydraulic cartridge
needle valves should be of the same quality as the trial order, not the best,
but should not fluctuate. I agree with that. It's not the best quality, but the
stable quality with few failures. Some small faults can be solved as soon as
possible, but they are very troublesome if happen again and again. The quality should
be reliable, and will not require repair for a year or even longer.
Castel said that AAK hydraulic cartridge needle
valves can be used for 18 months. Although the price is a little more expensive
than the original hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer, the service life is
twice that of the original manufacturer. The sticking point of AAK hydraulic
valve is the stability of function and reliability of performance. This
hydraulic cartridge needle valve focuses on 3 points:
1. The shoulder of the hydraulic
cartridge needle valve spool is increased to the circular radius, which
effectively reduces the shoulder stress of the spool and improves the service
life of the spool.
2. The pin hole setting is
optimized to reduce the alternating influence of the load change on the valve spool
stress.
3. The cantilever beam of the
wedge structure of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve is changed into a
simply supported beam, which increases the stability of the valve spool and can
play an anti vibration role to a certain extent.
AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve, safe for 18
months, you can also have a small try!
3 manufacturers made
samples for a hydraulic cartridge relief valve but all failed. AAK solved the
problem in the first time, and the cylindricity is within 0.002mm, and the hole
accuracy is H7. 1 month after Juan received the samples of AAK hydraulic cartridge
relief valve, he sent an order for hydraulic cartridge relief valve worth 12,000
dollars.
The processing of
high-precision hydraulic cartridge relief valve, the stability of its accuracy,
and the processing efficiency have been criticized by highly demanding
customers. Although there are more than 200 hydraulic valve manufacturers in
Ningbo that can produce hydraulic cartridge relief valves, there are too many problems
from samples to mass production. Although Juan from Argentina is an experienced
purchaser, he has suffered 3 losses in selecting high-precision hydraulic cartridge
relief valve manufacturers. 3 cartridge valve manufacturers took more than 6
months to make samples, but no one succeeded.
Juan saw AAK website www.aakindustry.com
on B2B. After browsing the website of AAK, he found that AAK has been
cooperating with HydraForce, SUN Hydraulics and other first-line hydraulic
valve brands for a long time. Feeling the specialty of AAK, he sent an email
about a hydraulic cartridge relief valve. He specially required that the
cylindricity of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve is within 0.002mm and the
hole accuracy is H7.
I told Juan that AAK made
samples of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve with this type of cylindricity
accuracy 5 years ago, and the customer's repurchase rate was also high. Maybe
Juan was worried and did not reply to the email within 3 days. On the 5th day, he
paid the development cost and asked AAK to make samples. 2 weeks later, AAK
sent 5 hydraulic cartridge relief valve samples. 1 week later, Juan advised
that AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves had been approved by their
engineers, then there was no further news. 1 month later, he suddenly sent a PO
for this hydraulic cartridge relief valve worth 12,000 dollars.
The reason why AAK can
produce high-precision hydraulic cartridge relief valves, and the stability of
precision and processing efficiency can be recognized by customers, is due to
the following 3 points:
1.
For this hydraulic cartridge relief valve,
AAK uses a honing machine with sintered diamond tools for finishing.
2.
We have additionally configured a tool
magazine with 15 tool positions, which can automatically change tools, and add
deburring tools. The tool change time is controlled within 10s, and the
production efficiency can be more than 30% higher than that of peers.
3.
XY axis worktable can automatically change
holes for multi hole processing. The cylindricity before honing is 0.02mm, and
the cylindricity after honing can reach 0.002mm. The correction ability of
cylindricity is improved to nearly 10 times.
AAK hydraulic cartridge
relief valve, not only high precision, you are welcome to try!
Mayer has been working in a hydraulic equipment
company in Brazil for 3 years. In the first half of this year, they customized
a hydraulic power unit for a customer. The pressure supply range is 20bar to
450bar. 3 direct-acting cartridge relief valves, high, medium and low pressure,
are used. The equipment was debugged smoothly, and the customer was also very
satisfied. However, the batch order was stuck because of the price. The
customer reported that the price of similar equipment in the market was 20%
cheaper than theirs, and requested that the price of this hydraulic power unit be
reduced by 15% before the batch order could be confirmed. The boss asked the engineer
to optimize the system to reduce cost. The engineer said that the only way to
reduce the cost was to combine the 3 cartridge direct-acting relief valves into
1. The original cartridge relief valve manufacturer was powerless. Mayer
contacted more than 10 cartridge valve manufacturers. They were either not
interested or unable to optimize. 2 weeks later, no results were achieved.
Mayer was worried.
Mayer browsed AAK hydraulic valve in Google and left
a message:
1. Can you customize the cartridge direct-acting
relief valve with the applicable pressure range of 20bar to 450bar?
2. The original system uses 3 high, medium and low pressure
cartridge relief valves. Can they be combined into 1 without affecting the
function?
3. What is the lead time and cost for sample
development?
According to his message, I judged that either the
cost was challenged or the customer was dissatisfied with the system. After
communication, I learned the trouble he faced. Based on his production drawings
of cartridge direct-acting relief valve and the system principle of the
equipment, AAK engineers had a discussion and came out a plan, but only 90% is
sure. Mayer may be hesitating and did not give us any news for a week. I
thought he chose another cartridge relief valve manufacturer, but I suddenly
received his trial order. After 50 days, 10 samples of AAK newly designed cartridge
direct-acting relief valves were sent out.
1 month later, Mayer sent us a PO for 360 cartridge
direct-acting relief valves, and mentioned that AAK newly designed direct-acting
cartridge relief valves were used in equipment, and did not affect its functions,
and helped them reduce the cost by more than 15%. Only then did customer place
order for bulk equipment. According to the 3 levels of pressure, AAK has
changed the structure of the original hydraulic direct-acting cartridge relief
valve, reducing the manufacturing cost by more than 40%, in the following way:
1.
A
spring is arranged between the poppet valve spool and the pressure regulating
screw plug, and the vertical position at the front end of the poppet valve spool
corresponds to a cylindrical oil chamber, which is connected with the oil inlet
hole.
2.
The
horizontal position at the front end of the poppet valve spool corresponds to
the oil return hole. At the same time, a thrust belt is arranged around the
front end of the poppet valve spool, and the poppet valve spool is provided
with an oil hole.
3.
The pressure oil enters the cylindrical oil chamber from the oil inlet
hole, and the oil pressure acts on the thrust ring. When the generated thrust
is less than the spring pressure, the poppet valve spool is closed; when its
thrust is greater than the spring pressure, the poppet valve spool opens the
overflow, which is suitable for the generalization of high, medium and low
pressure overflow.
Mayer told me privately that he was promoted to the
position of purchasing manager a few days ago, and he was more and more
energetic.
AAK hydraulic direct-acting cartridge relief valve is applicable to all
kinds of pressures. You can also have a small try!
Arno comes from England.
They have a special hydraulic manifold block, which includes 13 groups of M32
threaded holes, and all of them are stepped holes. At the same time, there are
cross holes, straight holes, and bypass holes. The hole size is required to be
more than 8. Compared with the hydraulic manifold blocks with 10 groups of
normal threaded straight holes, it is not only complex in structure, but also 20%
higher in precision. Arno knew that it was difficult, so he arranged 3
hydraulic manifold block manufacturers for proofing, which lasted 60 days, but
all of them failed to meet the standard. This is a test order of hydraulic manifold
block from an old customer. Arno wants to struggle again. Due to time
constraints, he does not dare to use a new hydraulic manifold block manufacturer.
His old hydraulic manifold block supplier is also unreliable. This makes Arno,
who has eight years of procurement experience, a little overwhelmed.
When Jone introduced
Arno to me, I had a hunch that this hydraulic manifold block was not simple.
Because the PO of hydraulic manifold blocks given to me by Jone is a challenge
every time. AAK engineers pondered over the drawing of hydraulic manifold block
sent by Arno, and it is really difficult to process, with very high precision.
There are not only many pore systems, but also many deep holes, more than 20
groups of Φ3、 Φ4
deep holes, with a length diameter ratio greater than 25. For M32 threaded holes
of stepped holes, the coaxiality between holes is required to be 0.02mm, and
the coaxiality between threads and holes is required to be 0.045mm. This
complex pore system structure is like the distribution of the nervous system of
the human brain. Doctors without more than 10 years of experience in brain
surgery may not be confident to operate on the operating table.
AAK technical team,
after 3 days of internal research and discussion, the plan has been worked out,
and our chief engineer will handle the knife, starting from the production
drawing of the hydraulic manifold block. However, I replied to Arno that AAK
was only 90% sure that the sample of this hydraulic manifold block was
successful, and the cost was not low. Maybe Arno hesitated and didn't give any
reply for 3 days. On the fifth day, AAK received the development fee paid by
him. He mentioned that Jone told him that when AAK said it was 90% sure, it
means that there was basically no problem.
After 20 days, AAK sent
4 hydraulic manifold block samples. 4 weeks after sending the samples, Arno placed
a PO for hydraulic manifold block worth 80,000 US dollars. He also told me that
the hydraulic manifold assembled with AAK hydraulic valve block was
successfully debugged, and the customer was very satisfied. He emphasized that
the quality of the batch order must be stable. I told him that as long as your
customer is satisfied with the quality of the hydraulic manifold block sample, there
will be no worry about the quality of the batch order, because the process and
processing methods adopted by AAK guarantee the stability first:
1. For special hole
system processing, AAK follows the principle of small hole priority, customizes
alloy fried dough twist drill tools with large chip holding groove and good
toughness, and solves the problem of small hole system processing by using the
drilling cycle technology in combination with the processing method of
"high speed, snack knife depth, frequent tool withdrawal".
2. For M32 threaded
holes, the combination of rough and finish machining is adopted, and the thread
milling cutter is used to replace the alloy boring cutter used by nearly 90% of
hydraulic manifold block manufacturers for milling, so as to avoid the problem
of coaxiality out of tolerance caused by manual tapping due to tap deflection.
3. AAK has designed a
group of coaxiality gauges for measuring the thread hole system to assist in
machining, ensuring the datum requirement of coaxiality of 0.02mm, and further
improving the dimensional form and location tolerance accuracy by nearly 20%.
AAK hydraulic manifold
block is not afraid of the pore system like cranial nerves. Welcome to have a
small try!
Erasmus is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Colombia. He has been purchasing smoothly, but a batch of hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves stumped him. The loader sold by their company less than 1 year
has been complained of shaking. During after-sales service, it is found on the
site that the valve spool of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve
is stuck during operation, which is caused by the deviation of the valve hole
accuracy. The original manufacturer advised that there should be not many
pieces of hydraulic cartridge directional control valve was stuck and could be
replaced, but there were more and more complaints later. The boss was not
satisfied with Erasmus's purchase this time, asked him to replace the
manufacturer of the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve, and
requested that the service life of the valve be more than 18 months. Erasmus
contacted more than 10 cartridge valve manufacturers. They either disliked the
small quantity or needed 60 days of production. Erasmus became very anxious.
Erasmus
found AAK hydraulic valve in B2B and left a message to us: Can you produce the
hydraulic cartridge directional control valve in 40 days with a service life of
18 months? I guess he encountered problem when he purchased the hydraulic cartridge
directional control valves. After communication, I learned his dilemma in
purchasing. According to the drawing of hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve provided by Erasmus, this is not difficult, but the key is performance. 2
days later, we received the PO for the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve. Erasmus said that although the price of AAK hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve was 20% higher than that of the original cartridge valve manufacturer,
he still chose AAK because he valued the 18 months of service life. After 40
days, AAK sent 40 samples of hydraulic cartridge directional control valves.
Last week, Erasmus informed by
email that the AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve had been
installed on the equipment for 1 year, and there was no customer complaint.
Most surprising to his engineers, AAK valve hole accuracy reached 0.3μm, but
the original directional control valve manufacturer is above 0.7μm. I told him,
if no accident, there will be no worries for 18 months. AAK constantly improves
the performance of the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve from 3
aspects. Although the price is 20% higher than that of peers, the service life
is twice that of peers.
1. In processing, this hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve uses OKK ultra precision machine tool of Japan, and its nano
level numerical control system ensures that the processing accuracy can reach
0.01~0.3 μm. The precision
of shape and contour is 0.003 ~ 0.1μm.
2. In terms of detection, the German small micropore diameter tester is
used to detect the valve hole of each hydraulic directional control cartridge valve.
100% full inspection, and the measurement accuracy is within 0.1μm.
3. In terms of
assembly, most of hydraulic directional control valve manufacturers adopt the
selective assembly method. AAK uses the unified assembly method, and the
assembly efficiency is twice that of peers. Not only fast, but also stable.
Although the price of AAK hydraulic directional
control cartridge valve is 20% higher than that of its peers, its service life
is twice that of its peers. You can also try a small order!
Peder is from a hydraulic
equipment company in Peru. They mainly focus on logistics transmission
hydraulic equipment. At the beginning of this year, customers complained about
the unstable control and inaccurate positioning of the lifting hydraulic power
unit they sold. The after-sales server judged on site that the problem was caused
by the hydraulic cartridge needle valve in the system, but after the
manufacturer's inspection, the parameters of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve
met the requirements. The engineer asked the original manufacturer to optimize
the hydraulic cartridge needle valve, but the manufacturer was unable to do it
and gave up. Peder contacted more than 10 hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers, but none of them had solution, Peder was very anxious.
Peder found AAK website when
searching in Google, and the background showed that he stayed for 9 minutes. He
sent an email to ask if AAK has any optimization plan for the unstable control
and inaccurate positioning of the equipment during operation caused by the
abnormal hydraulic cartridge needle valves? According to the schematic diagram
of hydraulic system and production drawings of hydraulic cartridge needle valve
provided by Peder, after analysis, AAK engineers found that the original hydraulic
cartridge needle valve design had shortcomings, and suggested a solution. Peder
saw the hope and asked AAK to optimize the original design and make samples.
After 45 days, AAK sent 40 hydraulic cartridge needle valves.
Yesterday, Peder sent
an email to inform that after using AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valves, the equipment
has been running for more than 6 months. The customer has no complaints about
unstable control and inaccurate positioning. AAK engineers only used a 6mm
chamfer to remove the hidden danger of the original hydraulic cartridge needle valve.
The overall flow coefficient of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve is
required to increase with the increase of the opening. The inclination of the
flow passage will have an impact on the pressure control of the throttle
structure. The chamfering can reduce the generation of eddy currents, which
guarantees the stability of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve from the
source.
AAK
processed a 6mm chamfer at the chamfer position of the flow passage. This small
trick reduced the average turbulent kinetic energy by 73%, reduced the pressure
drop distributed at the outlet, and ensured the stability of the hydraulic cartridge
needle valve. The flow can be adjusted steplessly to move or rise accurately
and controllably under load, and the positioning is accurate.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valve is stable in control and accurate in
positioning. You can also have a small try!
Sheridan is from a hydraulic
equipment company in Mexico, and has just been employed for less than a year.
The hydraulic pilot operated proportional relief valve purchased some time ago
fell him down. One of their hydraulic power units required Sheridan to purchase
a hydraulic proportional relief valve. Sheridan worked with a hydraulic relief
valve manufacturer in Ningbo who has cooperated with their company for 4 years
to make samples. The equipment debugging was abnormal. When the rated flow was
set to be large, the pressure was unstable. Their engineer asked to optimize
the hydraulic pilot operated proportional relief valve, but the original manufacturer
said that their hydraulic proportional relief valve met the accuracy and
parameter requirements of the drawings, and had no solution to optimize the
original design. Sheridan had a big head and had to look for other hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers, but a week passed without success. Sheridan, a
newcomer, was under great pressure.
Sheridan
found AAK on Google, noticed that AAK had solved the difficult and complicated
problems of hydraulic cartridge valves, and left a message to us: Can you
optimize the hydraulic pilot operated proportional relief valve and ensure the
pressure is stable? At the sight of such messages, I guessed that he
encountered difficulties in purchasing hydraulic pilot operated proportional
relief valves. According to the original design drawing and system schematic
diagram provided by him, AAK engineers worked out a plan after 1 day. Sheridan
asked for samples, and AAK sent samples of hydraulic proportional relief valve
40 days later.
A month later, Sheridan
emailed that after replacing with AAK hydraulic proportional relief valve, the
equipment was stable and had been delivered to customers for trial use. AAK hydraulic
pilot operated proportional relief valve has stable operating pressure, small
hysteresis and stable rated flow. We have optimized the original design from 3
aspects.
1. The side of the main valve body is provided with a
valve oil inlet and a valve oil outlet, the main valve spool is installed in
the main valve body, and both ends of the main valve spool are respectively
provided with damping and fixed orifices.
2. The pilot valve seat is
installed in the pilot valve body, the poppet valve spool is arranged between
the proportional electromagnet and the pilot valve seat, and a return spring is
arranged between the poppet valve spool and the pilot valve seat.
3. A force transfer spring and a
spring seat are arranged between the poppet valve spool and the proportional
electromagnet, a return spring is arranged between the nut and the main valve spool,
the proportional electromagnet is connected with the pilot valve body and the
main valve body through screws, and the cover plate is installed at the other
end of the main valve body.
When
the proportional electromagnet has no current signal, the pressure oil enters
the radial small hole of the main valve spool through the valve oil inlet, and
then reaches both ends of the main valve spool. The pressure oil is connected
with the pilot valve seat through the fixed orifice. The pressure oil can
overcome the force transfer spring to push the poppet valve spool open and
enter the oil outlet of the valve. When the proportional solenoid constant
current is given, a certain thrust will be generated. The pressure oil needs to
overcome the thrust of the force transfer spring and proportional solenoid,
reduce the hysteresis, and ensure the stable operation of the hydraulic pilot operated
proportional relief valve.
AAK
hydraulic pilot operated proportional relief valve, no hysteresis, and stable,

The
original manufacturer of the hydraulic manifold block made samples for 3 times,
pushed the delivery for 3 times, but the samples were still not approved. There
was always 0.5~1.0mm burrs in the deep hole of the hydraulic manifold block.
After AAK took over, in terms of process, it abandoned the conventional route,
optimized 3 points, and got the samples approved at one time.
Tom
from Holland, their customer wanted to develop a hydraulic manifold block. The
maximum side length of the hydraulic manifold block is 800mm, including
multiple 4 × M8 threaded holes and Φ
14、 Φ 17 deep holes, and the
accuracy is more than 10% higher than the conventional one. Tom knew the
difficulty of this hydraulic manifold block and the importance of this customer,
so he selected 2 most recognized hydraulic manifold blocks manufacturers to
make samples at the same time. It took 8 weeks to sample 3 times, and there
were still 0.5~1.0mm burrs in the deep holes of the hydraulic manifold blocks.
The customer was not satisfied. If the next sample of the hydraulic manifold block
still can not be approved, the order had to be cancelled. Within 2 days, Tom contacted
more than 30 hydraulic manifold block manufacturers, and those old suppliers
suggested him giving up, which made Tom very anxious.
Tom
found AAK website on B2B and noticed AAK has tricks on the processing and deburring
of hydraulic manifold blocks. With the attitude of trying, he contacted us.
When receiving the drawing of hydraulic manifold block sent by Tom, AAK
technical team was also a little surprised. The hydraulic manifold block is
large size but with long and thin holes, and most of the holes are Φ 14、 Φ 17. The depth is more
than 400mm, most of which are deep holes with a length diameter ratio greater
than 28. This is a challenge for machining, especially for deep hole machining.
The tool is long, chip removal is difficult, chip extrusion is easy, and the
drill bit is easy to break, with many potential burrs. 2 days later, AAK technical
team had a commencement plan. I replied to Tom by email that AAK was willing to
develop this hydraulic manifold block and is 90% confident to be successful.
After
30 days, we sent 5 hydraulic manifold blocks. 2 weeks later, Tom emailed us that
the customer had approved AAK hydraulic manifold blocks, which not only met the
accuracy standard, but also completely removed the burrs. For the deep hole processing
of this hydraulic manifold block, the other hydraulic manifold block
manufacturers can not meet the precision and remove burrs completely, maybe
they still use traditional technology. AAK has always adhered to process
innovation and technology optimization. Aiming at the characteristics of this
hydraulic manifold block, AAK has made adjustment and optimization from 3
aspects:
1.
Most hydraulic manifold block manufacturers use machine tools and gun drills to
process deep holes. The deviation of this hydraulic manifold block hole reaches
1/800. AAK selects a machining center and adopts the two end butt joint
processing technology. First, use an alloy milling cutter to process a certain
depth of the guide hole, and then use a short to long fried dough twist drill
to process the deep hole, and strictly control the deviation error range of the
hole.
2.
Adjust the traditional cutting speed, feed rate, cutting rate and other parameters.
AAK adopts the cutting speed of 160m/min, feed rate of 0.25mm/r, and cutting
rate of 0.5~2.0mm, which improves the cutting direction of burrs, avoids
0.5~1.0mm additional burrs occurred during processing.
3.
Before assembly, use kerosene circulation and ultrasonic cleaner to wash the
hydraulic manifold block for more than 1h, remove dirt, chips, fine burrs etc.
on the hole wall, and then inspect with the endoscope.
AAK
hydraulic manifold block, processing does not produce extra burrs, welcome to
try!
Blade is from Canada. He has been purchasing
hydraulic components successfully for 3 years. Unexpectedly, a hydraulic cartridge
directional control valve stumped him. In the second half of last year, a batch
of their hydraulic logistics lifts were complained by customers, some of them
were unable to work, probably because the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve leaked. After checking, it was found that the valve spool was deformed.
The original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valves
said that it had been shipped for 9 months, and some exceptions were
inevitable. It is possible that the internal stress of the valve spool was not
eliminated in time during the heat treatment process, resulting in deformation
or cracking of the valve spool. However, there are more and more complaints
later. Blade realized that the service life of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves from the original cartridge valve manufacturer may be about 1
year. He had to find a new hydraulic cartridge directional control valve
manufacturer with a service life of 2 years. A week has passed, and no one can
guarantee a 2-year life span.
Blade found AAK when browsing
Google. He noticed that AAK was continuously supplying HydraForce, and left a
message: Can AAK ensure that each hydraulic cartridge directional control valve
spool is free of deformation or cracking within 2 years? I guess he encountered
trouble in purchasing hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. After
communication, I learned the above information. I replied that the life
expectancy of 2 years should not be a big problem. Blade sent the drawing of
the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve and asked for the lead time
for 10 samples. After 45 days, AAK sent the samples of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves, but there was no email from him after that.
Last week,
Blade suddenly sent an email, and it was a PO for 600 hydraulic cartridge directional
control valves. It can be seen that the samples of AAK hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve was approved by his customer. The valve spool is the key to long
service life of this hydraulic cartridge directional control valve.
1. AAK select 20CrMo material to produce the valve spool. After
quenching and tempering, the materials are more conducive to processing. Most hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers ignore this action.
2. 0.25~0.35mm machining allowance shall be reserved for rough turning,
then carburizing, quenching and high temperature tempering shall be carried
out, and then the valve spool shall be subject to low temperature cold
treatment. The surface hardness of such valve spool is above HRC63, and the
residual austenite in the internal structure is eliminated.
3. The valve spool
shall be subject to semi finishing, and 0.1-0.15mm allowance shall be reserved
during the process, and then the valve spool shall be subject to tempering
treatment. The temperature of tempering treatment shall be 320°C, and the
temperature shall be kept for 5 hours, which can eliminate the residual
internal stress and greatly improve its stability. After tempering the valve spool,
the honing machine shall be used for finishing to ensure the accuracy and
ensure that each valve spool meets the standard.
AAK hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve, the valve spool is processed specially, you can also try a small

Zander is from a hydraulic manufacturing
company in Greece. In the first half of this year, their company planned to
upgrade the old logistics crane and put it back on the market. Its main goal is
to improve its stability by 20% compared with its peers. The optimization of
the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is the key, but the original
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve manufacturer has no ability to
innovate. Zander found a local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer to
optimize the structure and make samples. However, during commissioning, when
the load of the system drops, the pressure fluctuation cannot exceed that of
the peers, and the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve cannot avoid load
interference. The local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer has no ability
for further improvement. 2 months passed by, but there was still no solution. The
boss pushed for progress many times, and Zander was worried.
Zander found AAK on Google, noticed that
AAK had released some customer cases about hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valves, and sent us an email. According to the schematic diagram of the
hydraulic system and the original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve
drawing provided by him, AAK engineer informed that the structure optimized by his
local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer was not reasonable and needed to
be adjusted. AAK has a trick to prevent the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve from being affected by the load. Zander asked for AAK samples. After 45
days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves.
3 months later, Zander sent an order for 500
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves, and told us that their technical
department was very satisfied with AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves.
Not only did they overcome the load impact, but also improved the stability of their
new logistics crane by more than 20%. In the promotion stage, the booking was
good, and the boss was happy.
AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve can stably control the opening of the valve spool without being disturbed
by the load, and its stability is higher than that of its peers, because we
have tricks on optimizing the structure.
AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve is composed of a valve body, a valve seat, a main valve spool, a pilot
valve spool and a pilot mechanism. The valve seat is connected with the valve
body and forms a connected first channel. The extended end of the valve seat
butts against the pilot mechanism and forms a second channel. The main valve spool
is provided with a throttling slot. One end of the pilot valve spool slides and
is arranged in the inner cavity of the main valve spool. The other end is
connected with the pilot mechanism. The pilot valve spool is equipped with a
throttling slot. The pilot valve spool is connected with the inner cavity of
the main valve spool as a balanced structure. The force of the pilot mechanism
can balance the oil pressure in the oil passage on the pilot valve spool.
Therefore, the opening of the main valve spool is not affected by the load
pressure wave.

Forrest,
from Spain, has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic components for 3
years. At the beginning of the year, their customer asked for a set of
hydraulic power units for military equipment, which had high requirements for
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. The spool cylindricity was less
than 0.0015, the roundness was less than 0.001, and the clearance between the
valve spool and the valve cage was within 1μm. Forrest selected a manufacturer
of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves that has cooperated for 5 years
to make samples. 2 weeks later, the manufacturer gave up. He was unable to
process the valve spool, which has low efficiency and high scrap rate. Forrest
contacted more than 10 other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. They either
had no reply or were only 60% confident. At this time, Forrest was worried.
Forrest
found AAK website in B2B, noticed the article about valve spool processing,
left a message of 3 questions, and attached the drawing of hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve to remind that the valve is used on military equipment.
1. Can AAK process the valve spool with
cylindricity less than 0.0015 and roundness less than 0.001?
2. Can AAK customize the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve with
the clearance between valve spool and valve sage within 1μm?
3. What is the lead time and cost to customize
this hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve?
I
told him that the spool required by the drawing is difficult to process, but
AAK has produced similar spool. Forrest requested for samples. After 50 days,
12 samples of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves were sent out.
2 months later, Forrest e-mailed us
that the customer had approved their hydraulic power unit. Their engineers are
very interested in AAK's production of hydraulic cartridge pressure control
valves. How did AAK do to ensure the accuracy of the valve spool. AAK adopts
TSCHUDIN high-precision CNC cylindrical grinder imported from Switzerland,
which meets the high-precision requirements of valve spool.
The machine tool control system
can automatically measure and store the inner hole and taper of the valve spool,
and automatically grind out the size and taper of the valve spool according to
the data. Two measuring heads are equipped in the radial and axial direction,
and the measurement repeatability accuracy is less than 0.1μm. Carry out
real-time online measurement and feedback, and realize 100% grinding process
control before, during and after grinding. The tailstock is hydraulically
driven, which can be driven by the system to precisely adjust the taper of the
valve spool, with a resolution of 0.1μm. At the same time, two online measuring
heads of the outer circle shall be matched to ensure the precision after
machining, and the valve spool cylindricity shall be less than 0.0015, the
roundness shall be less than 0.001, and the clearance between the valve spool
and the valve cage shall be within 1μm.

Uberto is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Mexico and has been engaged in the procurement of hydraulic components for 2
years. At the end of last year, their customer customized a hydraulic power
unit, and the hydraulic manifold of it was made by a local hydraulic manifold manufacturer.
The commissioning of the equipment was smooth, and the customer was also
satisfied, but the price of the equipment was more than 15% higher than that of
similar products in the market. The company requested to optimize the hydraulic
manifold to reduce the cost, but the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer
has no idea.
Uberto
found AAK website on google. According to the background trace, he stayed for
more than 10 minutes and left us a message: Can AAK optimize hydraulic manifold
to reduce costs? After communication, we learned that the customer disliked the
high price of their equipment. According to the schematic diagram of the
hydraulic system provided by him and the original hydraulic manifold drawing, after
discussion, AAK technical team proposed an optimization scheme, which is to
form a combined hydraulic manifold, reduce the installation difficulty and
cost. When Uberto's engineers learned that AAK had an optimized hydraulic manifold
scheme, and that the cost would be reduced by 30%, they expressed doubts, then
there was no further news. 2 weeks later, Uberto suddenly requested AAK to make
samples for the hydraulic manifold and paid the development cost. After 50
days, AAK sent 3 hydraulic manifold samples.
Last
week, Ubertor emailed that the hydraulic power unit with AAK hydraulic manifold
had been installed on the equipment and had been tracked for 4 weeks. The
function and stability of the hydraulic power unit is the same as the original
hydraulic manifold. Their customer decided to purchase their hydraulic power
units. The boss was very satisfied and their engineers were also impressed.
The combined hydraulic manifold
optimized by AAK is a modular, configurable and open hydraulic manifold. It
abandons the traditional mode of using "single element" combined
circuit, avoids overlapping functions and structures, and reduces control
valves, which is the key to significantly reduce costs.
1. The four-way hydraulic manifold control system is
composed of pilot control valve group, 4 two-way cartridge valve control
components, manifold blocks and connectors. It has 4 main channels, several
pilot control channels, and 2 external mounting surfaces, which greatly reduces
components. This is a technical activity.
2. The top of the hydraulic manifold
is provided with a boss, which is a boss type step surface composed of the boss
and 2 parallel finishing planes. The mounting surface of the convex part of the
boss is installed with 2 groups of pilot control valve groups, and the mounting
surface of the plane parallel to the boss plane is installed with a two-way
cartridge valve.
3. The left and right sides of
the hydraulic manifold are used to connect the high pressure input port and low
pressure output port of the main channel as well as the pilot control channel,
and the rear side is used as the connection port of the high pressure output
port of the main channel. The installation of components is convenient and
fast.

Romeo is from Argentina. At the beginning of this
year, their customer customized a set of personalized hydraulic lifting
equipment. The test run of the equipment was smooth. After the trial, the
customer reported that the energy consumption of the equipment was a little
high. After the inspection, the engineer found that the throttling loss of the
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is large when the load is low and the
flow is large, which is the source of high energy consumption. They requested the
manufacturer to optimize the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve. The manufacturer
tried for 4 weeks but no result. Romeo contacted some other hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers, but there was still no good plan. The customer had been
pushing for update, Romeo had no idea yet and was very worried.
Romeo found me through the introduction of Patrick,
an old customer of AAK. According to the situation described by Romeo, AAK
technical team pondered the original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve
drawing and system schematic diagram, 2 days later, the preliminary plan was
formed. After 50 days, AAK sent 12 hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve
samples.
Last week, Romeo emailed us to
inform that after AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve was installed in
the equipment, the throttling was improved under low load and large flow. The
energy consumption was 20% lower than before, the customer was very satisfied.
Their engineers were surprised that AAK technical team optimized the original
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve from these 3 aspects, and added a new
function, namely, variable pilot ratio. The hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve with variable pilot ratio has a special structure.
1. The optimized
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve body is provided with a control oil
port. The two ends of the control piston include the first acting surface and
the second acting surface. The valve cage is provided with a first chamber which
is close to the first acting surface.
2. The control piston is provided
with an annular boss which is close to the end face of one side of the first chamber.
One end of the valve spool is against the second acting surface, and the end
cover is connected with the control piston in a sliding seal.
3. The end cover is also provided
with an annular boss to form an annular groove of the sliding seal and a
connecting oil passage, and the annular groove is close to the end face of one
side of the first chamber. The second chamber is formed between the two working
surfaces of the piston, which can easily realize the function of controlling
the piston.
The optimized hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve has the characteristics of variable pilot ratio and pilot pressure while
the load moves stably. The performance of low pilot ratio and high pilot ratio
can be realized according to different working conditions. The pilot pressure
of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve can be reduced by 20%, which is
the highlight of 20% energy saving.
AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, with
variable pilot ratio and pilot pressure, you can also have a small trial!
Francis
is from a hydraulic equipment company in Spain, and has been purchasing smoothly
for 5 years. Some time ago, he was stumped by a hydraulic cartridge proportional
relief valve. The hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve used in their
customized hydraulic power unit was made by a local cartridge valve manufacturer.
The equipment commissioning was not smooth, and the hydraulic cartridge proportional
relief valve responded slowly and leaked when the system was in a large flow
state. The original manufacturer tested the accuracy of the hydraulic cartridge
proportional relief valve, and all of them reached the standard. The engineer
asked the original manufacturer to optimize the structure of the hydraulic cartridge
proportional relief valve, but no result after 1 week. Francis contacted
several other hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve manufacturers, but
there was still no solution. Francis was worried.
Francis
noticed AAK hydraulic valve in B2B and left us a message:
1.
The hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve responds slowly, and there is
a source of leakage?
2.
Can AAK optimize the structure of the hydraulic cartridge proportional relief
valve?
3.
What is the cost and lead time of customized hydraulic cartridge proportional
relief valve?
After communication,
we learned the situation that Francis purchased the hydraulic cartridge proportional
relief valves. According to the drawings of the original hydraulic cartridge proportional
relief valve, the samples of the original manufacturer, and the requirements of
equipment working conditions, AAK engineers judged that the problem was probably
caused by structural hazards, and AAK was 90% sure to optimize the original
structure. Francis asked for AAK samples. After 45 days, AAK sent 12 samples of
hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valves.
1
month later, Francis informed us by email that with AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional
relief valve, the trial run of the equipment was smooth, and the customer was
satisfied and planned to place a large order. Francis asked us to wait for the
good news. AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve can realize large
flow rate, fast response speed and no leakage. For these 3 advantages, we have
made 3 optimizations on the structure:
1.
The valve body of the
hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve is provided with a stepped inner
hole. The side wall is provided with a stepped port. The valve cage is
connected to the lower part of the valve body. On the side wall of the lower
part of the valve cage, there is a flow passage cavity between the valve body
and the valve body. The upper part and the inner hole of the valve body form an
oil return cavity and a flow passage hole.
2. One end of the valve spool
of the hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve is slidably arranged in
the inner hole of the valve cage, which can control the on-off of the through
flow hole. In the oil return chamber, the lower part of the spring is against the
upper part of the valve spool, and the upper part forms a control chamber with
the valve body. The force on the valve spool can be changed according to the
pressure of the control chamber.
3.
The valve body of the
hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve is also equipped with an electric
proportional control system. Its oil inlet is connected to the flow passage chamber,
and its oil outlet is connected to the oil return chamber. The pressure of the
control chamber is changed by changing the voltage control signal of the
electric proportional control system.
The
optimized hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve uses a small flow
electric proportional control system to change the pressure of the control
chamber, set the pressure of the spring assembly, realize the large diameter
setting of the valve port, increase the flow capacity, and have a fast response
speed. The valve is line sealed and has no leakage.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge proportional relief valve, has 3 advantages, with large
flow, fast response and no leakage, you can also try one small order!
Ibeamaka is from a hydraulic equipment company in
Pakistan, and has been in the hydraulic industry for 3 years. At the beginning
of last year, their hydraulic packer was complained by customers. The leakage
of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve in the system caused the
equipment to work weakly, which was caused by the wear of the valve spool end.
The original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve
said that because the system was opened and closed frequently, even if the
valve spool of the bearing steel was worn, it was inevitable, so the service
life of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve could only be within 1
year. The boss was not satisfied with the original manufacturer's after-sales
guarantee of more than 9 months, and requested to change the manufacturer, and
the service life of the hydraulic cartridge direction control valve should not
be less than 18 months. 1 week later, only one hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer was willing to sample, which made Ibeamaka more worried.
Ibeamaka
searched the website of AAK hydraulic valves on Google and noticed many
customer cases about the service life of AAK hydraulic cartridge valves. He sent
an email asking if AAK can customize the hydraulic cartridge direction control
valve and the service life shall not be less than 18 months. According to his
drawing of hydraulic cartridge directional control valve, he also specially
reminded that the original manufacturer’s problem on the valve spool. I told
him that the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve spool of the
original manufacturer was probably deformed after heat treatment, showing
warping at both ends. During finishing, the end protective layer was removed,
which affected the wear life of the valve spool. 5 years ago, AAK learned a
similar lesson and has already upgraded the process. The valve spool is free of
wear and has a service life of more than 18 months. Ibeamaka quickly sent an
order for 120 hydraulic cartridge directional control valves.
Last
week, Ibeamaka sent an email. The hydraulic packers that used AAK hydraulic cartridge
direction control valves had been working for 18 months. There was no complaint
about the leakage of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valves. The
boss was very satisfied. AAK hydraulic cartridge directional control valve spool
is wear-resistant and durable, and its service life is twice that of the
original manufacturer. It is due to the optimization of the process and 3
tricks in the processing process:
1. The spool of the hydraulic cartridge directional
control valve is provided with a longitudinal main body of several bosses and
two end faces at intervals. The included angle between the transition surface between
the end of the valve spool and the adjacent boss and the axial direction of the
valve spool is 5 degrees. This processing is particular, and most hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers cannot control the accuracy.
2.
The surface treatment layer of the hydraulic cartridge directional control
valve spool forms a rotary machined surface.
3.
The valve spool is easy to deform during processing. On the premise of ensuring
the overall size of the valve spool, AAK adopts rotary reducing material
processing, which can effectively retain the surface treatment layer at the end
of the valve spool, and is more resistant to wear and corrosion, with a service
life of 18 months.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge direction control valve has unique skills for processing,
and its service life is twice that of its peers. You can also try a small order!
Nantan, from Greece, is an old friend of mine. He
has cooperated with AAK Hydraulic Valve for 5 years. Last month, I received a
sample of hydraulic cartridge relief valve from him. He needed me to optimize
it. In the first half of this year, their customer's die casting machine
prototype needed to customize the hydraulic cartridge relief valve. Due to
tight time frame, Nantan made samples from a local hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer who had cooperated with them. The equipment commissioning was not
smooth, and there was vibration and noise when the hydraulic cartridge relief valve
was opened under the condition of large flow and pressure relief. The
manufacturer advised that the problem was caused by the internal structure of
the hydraulic cartridge relief valve, but he was unable to optimize it. Their
engineers complained that the hydraulic cartridge relief valve purchased by
Nantan was abnormal, which embarrassed Nantan.
Nantan contacted other local hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers, but they disagreed. Nantan realized that he could only ask for
help overseas, so he sent me 3 original samples. According to their hydraulic
system schematic diagram, on-site debugging video, AAK engineers suggested that
not only the structure of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve should be
optimized, but also its functions should be improved. After obtaining additional
time, Nantan asked AAK to make samples for the hydraulic cartridge relief valve
as soon as possible. After 35 days, AAK sent 10 hydraulic cartridge relief
valve samples.
A month later, Nantan informed
AAK that the prototype had been successfully debugged and delivered to the
customer. AAK optimized the structure of this hydraulic cartridge relief valve from
3 aspects, and perfected the hydraulic cartridge relief valve with pressure
relief buffer function:
1. The side of the hydraulic cartridge
relief valve cage is provided with a valve oil inlet and a valve oil outlet.
The valve spool is installed in the axial hole of the valve cage, the control
cover plate is at the upper end of the valve cover, and the poppet valve spool
and regulating rod are set in the axial hole of the screw sleeve.
2. The upper end of the
control cover plate is connected with the buffer valve body. The buffer valve spool
is set in the axial hole of the buffer valve body. The control port is connected
with the damping hole. The control port is connected with the control chamber
through the hole in the middle of the buffer valve spool.
3. The axial hole of the
electromagnetic valve body is provided with an electromagnetic valve spool, the
working port is connected with the control port through the annular groove in
the middle of the buffer valve body, and the oil drain port is connected with
the oil return port through the buffer valve body and the control cover plate.
The hydraulic cartridge relief
valve with optimized structure has high control degree and reliability, small
flow resistance, small impact, large flow capacity and fast action when the
valve spool is opened in buffer mode, which can effectively reduce system
vibration and noise, operate stably and have a long service life.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, small impact, no
vibration, you can also have a small try!
These days, the epidemic
has led to more fever cases. In a brewery in Brazil, its hydraulic station also
"ran a fever”. AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve
was tailored to the case, with 3 tricks, helping Ledger's hydraulic system to
be transformed successfully.
Ledger is from Brazil.
Some time ago, the hydraulic system in their workshop continued to heat up, and
the hydraulic cartridge relief valve of the system could not unload normally,
so the pressure regulation failed. Their engineer needed to upgrade the
hydraulic system and optimize the original hydraulic cartridge relief valve.
The original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve said that it
would take 2 months. The system upgrade was imminent. Ledger had to look for other
hydraulic relief valve manufacturers.
Ledger found me through
the introduction of a local industrial product enterprise MRO. AAK is the
supplier of the MRO, which purchase SUN hydraulic cartridge valves standard parts
from AAK every month.
According to the
drawings of Ledger's original hydraulic cartridge relief valve and the existing
conditions of the hydraulic system, we were not sure about the root cause, so
we asked Ledger to send us the original samples of the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve. A week later, we found that the root cause of the system pressure
failure was the spool of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve.
1. The accuracy of the
valve spool is not enough. There is a 5% form and position tolerance and a
taper, causing radial clamping.
2. The damping hole on
the main valve spool is blocked, which causes that the oil pressure cannot be
transmitted to the upper chamber of the main valve and the front chamber of the
pilot valve, and the pressure adjustment of the main valve is lost.
I replied to Ledger that
AAK had a plan to optimize the original hydraulic cartridge relief valve, and
it would take 4 weeks. 2 weeks after AAK sent the optimized hydraulic cartridge
relief valves, Ledger informed that after AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve
was used, the pressure of the system returned to the original 2MPa, the heating
phenomenon disappeared, and various parameters met the system upgrading
requirements.
AAK had a good idea. For
this hydraulic cartridge relief valve, our scheme is as follows:
1. The valve spool
adopts a tapered shoulder, and the small end of the shoulder faces the
high-pressure area, which is conducive to the alignment of the valve spool in
the inner diameter of the valve hole, ensuring the form and position tolerance,
and avoiding the taper phenomenon.
2. Three pressure
equalizing grooves with proper positions shall be opened on the surface of the
valve spool. The depth of the annular pressure equalizing groove shall be the
same, and the pressure equalizing groove shall be concentric with the outer
circle of the valve spool. This process is difficult and most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers cannot afford it. AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve,
with this trick, solves the sticking of valve spool caused by radial imbalance
force.
3. At the inlet section
of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve, a welded integral high-strength filter
screen and local turbulence self-cleaning function are set to reduce the impact
of oil pollution on the normal operation of the hydraulic cartridge valve, and
100% eliminate the blockage of the damping hole.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief
valve, with tricks on processing, and the performance is also stable, welcome
to try!
Tarasios is a
purchaser from a Greek hydraulic equipment manufacturing company. He has been
very smooth in purchasing. At the beginning of the year, their customer
customized a hydraulic power unit, and Tarasios chose a supplier that had
cooperated for 5 years to make samples for the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valves. The commissioning of the prototype was not smooth. When the
load on the pressure reducing branch increased, the pressure at the working
port of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve increased and there was
oil leakage, which affected the pressure maintenance of the oil circuit. They
planned to add an accumulator to maintain the pressure, but the customer cannot
accept the additional cost. The boss asked Tarasios to purchase the hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve without leakage under high pressure, but the original manufacturer
gave up. After seeking other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, it was
fruitless. The boss was urging and Tarasios was worried.
Tarasios
found the website of AAK hydraulic valves on Google, and noticed that AAK has
solved problems for customers many times, perhaps he saw the hope and sent us
an email to ask: Can AAK make the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve
without leakage under the high pressure? We asked Tarasios to provide the detailed
drawings and the system schematic diagram. After analysis, AAK engineers
determined that only the original hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve
structure is optimized, it can meet the requirement of no leakage under high pressure.
Although it cannot be guaranteed to be success for100%, it is 90% confident.
After 50 days, AAK sent out 12 hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves.
3 months later, Tarasios sent
an email saying that the customer was satisfied with the prototype and was
ready to issue a regular order. Their engineers were also satisfied with the
function of AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. When the pressure
at the working port increased, there was no leakage. AAK optimized the hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valve from 3 aspects, with 3 seals to ensure no
leakage under high pressure.
1. The valve body of the
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve is provided with a valve chamber,
the side wall of the valve chamber is provided with a liquid outlet, the upper
end of the valve body is provided with a seal seat, the upper end of the valve spool
passes through the seal seat and is opposed to the spring seat, the lower end
of the valve spool is provided with a radially projecting boss, which forms a
conical seal with the lower end of the valve body.
2. The valve cover is
installed at the lower end of the valve body, and the lower end of the valve spool
extends into the valve cover, so that the inner cavity of the valve cover is
divided into a liquid inlet cavity and a return cavity. The side wall of the
liquid inlet cavity is provided with a liquid inlet, and the side wall of the
spring cavity is provided with a vent hole. The outer wall of the seal seat and
the inner wall of the upper end of the valve body are sealed through a second
seal ring.
3. The valve spool is provided
with a throttling channel connecting the valve cavity and the reflux cavity. A
throttle port is formed between the valve spool and the lower end of the valve
body. The up and down movement of the valve spool controls the opening of the
throttle port. The outer wall of the lower end of the valve spool and the side
wall of the inner cavity of the valve cover are sealed by a third sealing ring.
When the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve is working, the pressure at the outlet exceeds the pressure set
by the regulating spring, and the pressure at the outlet of the valve chamber
increases to the point where the valve spool can move up and the throttle
between the valve chamber and the inlet chamber is closed, without any leakage.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, 3 seals, no leakage under high
pressure, you can also try a small order!
Galeno is from Spain and has cooperated with AAK
hydraulic valves for 5 years. Some time ago, he sent me an email asking us to
design a hydraulic direct acting cartridge relief valve to replace the 3
HydraForce standard hydraulic cartridge relief valves in his system.
After communication, we
learned that their customer had customized a new equipment and was satisfied
with their hydraulic power unit functions, but the customer found that the cost
of the equipment had no advantage in the market. Because the hydraulic
components used are all standard parts, there is little possibility of price
reduction. Their engineers said that the only possibility is to use one
hydraulic direct acting cartridge relief valve to realize the 3 functions of
the 3 cartridge relief valves with different pressure controls in the system,
and the system circuit is simplified. Galeno contacted HydraForce for
customization, but HydraForce was not willing to develop this non-standard part
due to small quantity.
According to the schematic
diagram of the hydraulic system provided by Galeno, and the drawings of 3
HydraForce standard parts, AAK engineers found the solution after discussion.
The hydraulic direct acting cartridge relief valve redesigned by AAK can replace
the original 3 valves without affecting its function. After 45 days, AAK sent
10 samples of hydraulic direct acting cartridge relief valves.
1 month after the samples of the hydraulic direct acting
cartridge relief valve was sent, Galeno informed us by email that the equipment
could work with AAK hydraulic direct acting cartridge relief valve, and its
functions were not different from those original ones. The prototype has been
sent to the customer. He said jokingly that everyone just needs to wait for a
big order.
The hydraulic direct acting cartridge
relief valve designed by AAK, is arranged with an oil return hole at the level
of the front end of the poppet valve spool, a thrust belt is arranged around
the front end, and an oil hole is arranged on the poppet valve spool. There is
a spring between the poppet valve spool and the pressure regulating screw plug
in the valve body. The vertical position at the front end of the poppet valve spool
corresponds to a cylindrical oil chamber, which is connected with the oil
inlet. When the pressure oil enters from the oil inlet hole, if the thrust
generated by the thrust ring is less than the set pressure of the spring, the poppet
valve spool is closed. When the thrust generated by the system is greater than
the constant pressure of the spring, the pressure oil pushes the thrust ring to
open the poppet valve spool, and the pressure oil flows back to the oil tank
through the oil return hole. No matter which pressure state is high, medium or
low, the functions can be satisfied, and the hydraulic system is simplified.
AAK hydraulic direct acting cartridge
relief valve is adjustable for 3 pressures. You can also have a small try!
Ephraim comes from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing
company in Chile. He has been purchasing smoothly for 3 years. Unexpectedly,
the hydraulic cartridge relief valve purchased at the beginning of the year stumped
him. 3 months ago, they received a customer complaint that the hydraulic cartridge
relief valve on the logistics transmission system of the coal yard could not be
opened or closed properly, or the control was unstable. After checking, it was
found that the damping hole and the slender hole of the valve cage were blocked
by impurities in the hydraulic oil. 3 months after the hydraulic oil was
replaced, the old problem reoccurred. The original manufacturer of the
hydraulic cartridge relief valve said that the site was too dirty. The problem
was not avoidable. The only solution was to replace the hydraulic cartridge
relief valves regularly. The boss couldn't accept this so frequent after-sales service
and asked Ephraim to solve the problem from the root.
After browsing AAK website, Ephraim
found that AAK had many cases of solving customers' difficult problems, and
sent an email to ask: how to improve the hydraulic cartridge relief valve to
reduce the blockage of the conveying equipment in the coal yard? I didn't think
he explained it clearly. After communication, I learned that the damping hole
of the valve and the slender hole of the valve cage were easily blocked by
impurities in the hydraulic oil. According to the anatomical picture of the
original hydraulic cartridge relief valve provided by him, its damping hole and
slender hole structure are a bit strange. If optimized, the anti pollution
ability can be improved. Ephraim was half convinced when he learned about this
solution. After 40 days, AAK sent 18 hydraulic cartridge relief valve samples.
Ephraim sent an email last
week for an order of 200 hydraulic cartridge relief valves. He said that AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valves have been used for 6 months, there was no
blockage. Their boss wanted to replace all the equipment with AAK relief valves
at one time, completely saying goodbye to the strange circle of after-sales
service once every three months. AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve is
unblocked. The key lies in the improved structure of the original hydraulic cartridge
relief valve from 3 points:
1. The valve seat of the
hydraulic cartridge relief valve is a cylinder with one end open and one end
closed. The open end of the valve seat is equipped with external threads. Two
springs and spring covers are installed in the valve seat in sequence. The
first spring is a conical spring with the big end upward, and the second spring
is a cylindrical spring.
2. The upper end of the valve
stem is fixedly connected to the spring cover, the lower end of the valve stem
is provided with an overflow valve spool, and the lower end of the second
spring is installed in the spring seat.
3. An oil make-up valve spool
with an overflow valve port is arranged below the spring seat. An oil port is
arranged between the oil make-up valve spool and the spring seat, the valve rod
passes through the overflow valve port, and the dynamic seal of the overflow
valve spool is matched at the bottom of the overflow valve port. The oil
make-up valve spool and spring seat are of an integrated structure. The sealing
surface of the oil make-up valve spool is a spherical sealing surface, and the
sealing surface of the overflow valve spool is a conical sealing surface.
The optimized AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve
eliminates the previous damping holes and slender holes, reducing the number of
seals. The sealing surface adopts the structure of combination of conical
surface and spherical surface, which is better for sealing and assembly.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, no blockage,
you can also have a small try!
Divyesh is from a hydraulic
equipment manufacturing company in Pakistan, and has 3 years of procurement
experience smoothly. In the second half of last year, their ultra-high pressure
forging press was complained by customers that the equipment was shaking. After
checking, it was found that the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve was
abnormal and difficult to adjust the pressure, resulting in large system
pressure fluctuations and equipment jitter. The original manufacturer of the
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve tried to improve it, but the effect
was general. The trouble was that there were more and more similar complaints.
Divyesh had a very big headache.
Divyesh found AAK on Google and stayed on AAK
hydraulic valve website for more than 10 minutes. Perhaps AAK customer cases of
optimizing the hydraulic valve stimulated him and he sent us an email asking:
1. Can AAK make the pressure adjustment of hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve convenient?
2. How does AAK control the pressure fluctuation of hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valves?
3. How long does AAK need to optimize the original
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve?
After communication, I learned about Divyesh's
dilemma. According to his original drawings and the schematic diagram of the
hydraulic system of the ultra-high pressure forging press, AAK engineers found
that the problem could be solved by optimizing the structure of the original
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve. After 35 days, AAK sent 12 samples
of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves.
3 months later, Divyesh informed by email that AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve had been used for 3 months, the
customer had no complaints about the forging press shaking. AAK hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve has stable pressure control and convenient pressure
regulation, and their engineers are very satisfied. AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve is mainly composed of valve body, booster valve spool, external
control valve spool and spring. Our engineers have made 3 unique structures for
the original hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, which most hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers may not expect.
1. The booster valve spool is T-shaped, and the area of one end connected with
the spring is twice that of the lower end. The valve spool is equipped with a damping hole extending from the
load end to the spring end. The internal pressure on one side of the spring is
lower than the inlet pressure, that is, a smaller pressure is used to control a
larger pressure, which plays the role of boosting, and the pressure adjustment
is convenient.
2. The external control valve spool is connected by a pipeline at one side of the spring.
The valve spool is I-shaped and is equipped
with a T-shaped damping hole, which can make the oil in the compression part
press out of the valve body, effectively maintaining the stability of the external
control valve spool.
3. On the same side of the valve body of the hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valve, there are oil inlet holes and oil outlet
holes. The oil inlet holes are connected through pipelines. The valve body is
equipped with a connection hole at the end of the oil outlet hole. When the
load oil pressure is too large, the upper limit of the oil pressure balance can
be carried out to meet the working condition requirements under ultra-high
pressure.
AAK hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve, high pressure and large flow are also stable, you can
also have a small try!
For a hydraulic
manifold block with many deep holes and great difficulty in finishing, the
original hydraulic manifold block manufacturer worked on the trial order for 15
days. After 15 days of processing, the single hole processing cost increased by
nearly 30%, and the production efficiency was only 1/5 of the normal. Leon
understood that the processing cost was not affordable and had to change the
manufacturer of the hydraulic manifold block. After AAK took over, the welding
reamer with special groove and blade design was used to replace the
conventional hard reamer. The linear speed was up to 680m/min, the production
efficiency was increased by more than 10 times, and the processing cost of
single hole position was only 1/3 of that of the original hydraulic manifold
block manufacturer
Leon, from Germany, is
one of our old customers, mainly purchases hydraulic valves. Leon contacted me
a few days ago and asked me to try a special hydraulic manifold block test order,
and specifically reminded that the original manufacturer used a hard reamer in
the finishing process, the roughness can only reach about Ra1.6, the linear
speed is not higher than 50m/min, and the tool processing service life is not
more than 300 pieces. The aperture tolerance of this hydraulic manifold block
shall be ± 0.005mm, and the hole wall roughness shall meet Ra0.8 and Ra3.2 at
the same time. If the conventional coating hard reamer is used, the machining
accuracy is difficult to reach the standard, and the service life of the tool
is very short, which greatly increases the single hole processing cost, that
is, increases the customer's purchase cost.
After
3 days of research and discussion, we replied Leon that AAK was 90% confident.
After 25 days, AAK sent 6 hydraulic manifold block samples. 2 weeks later, Leon
told us that the precision of AAK hydraulic manifold block fully conforms to
the system error standard, and hoped that we could provide a competitive
development price. Leon was surprised that how did AAK hydraulic manifold block
achieve that the hole processing cost was 1/3 of the original manufacturer's,
and the production efficiency was more than 10 times higher?
In
view of the structure and processing technology of the hydraulic manifold
block, AAK technical team realized that the traditional hard reamer processing
technology was not suitable for the processing of this hydraulic manifold
block. Through repeated design verification and trial cutting, it is finally
determined that the welding reamer with special groove and blade design should
be used to replace the conventional hard reamer, with the linear speed of
680m/min, the efficiency increased by more than 10 times, the tool processing
service life increased from 300 pieces to 2,500 pieces, and the processing
efficiency and tool service life increased significantly.
AAK
hydraulic manifold block, not only high precision, welcome to try!
The local manufacturer who has cooperated for 5 years can't meet the
precision requirements of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve spool,
and the defective rate is up to 70%. They gave up 2 weeks after receiving the
order. After AAK took over, 3 targeted processing skills were used. The
roundness of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve spool accuracy
could be less than 0.0005, the finish less than Ra0.02, and the percent of pass
was more than 95%. Nabulung was completely relaxed after receiving AAK samples
of hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves.
Nabulung is from Egypt. In the first half of this
year, their engineer asked him to purchase 8 hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve samples for the development of new equipment. The roundness of
the hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve spool shall be less than 0.0005
and the finish shall be less than Ra0.02. Nabulung realized that the spool was
very difficult. He chose a local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer who had
cooperated with him for 5 years to make samples. The manufacturer started to
try samples. 2 weeks later, the manufacturer gave up. The defective rate of the
spool was as high as 70%, and the accuracy was not stable.
Nabulung found AAK and sent us an email: I noticed the
advantages and characteristic processing technology of AAK in the production of
valve spools. Can AAK sample the roundness of valve spool less than 0.0005 and
the finish less than Ra0.02? After communication, we learned the high defective
rate of the original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge pressure control
valve. According to the drawings provided by Nabulung, the requirements for
this spool are indeed very individual, and the conventional production process does
not work, but AAK has some experience in spool production and can adjust the
process accordingly. After 36 days, AAK sent 8 samples of hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valves.
37 days later, Nabulung emailed us that their engineer
was very satisfied with AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve samples,
especially the stable accuracy of the valve spool. He was worried for nearly 2
months, and finally he could put it down. The roundness of AAK hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve spool accuracy can be less than 0.0005, and the
smoothness is less than Ra0.02, which mainly comes from 3 unique processing
methods:
1. Roughly turn the profile of the valve spool,
leaving a margin of 0.15mm, slotting, drilling, and straightening with
deflection instrument to make the bending less than 0.02N/m.
2. The valve spool shall be subject to heat treatment
and rough grinding after the hardness reaches HRC65. The center hole is used
for high-precision cone hole positioning, and then the ejector pin holes at
both ends of the valve spool are honed to make the roundness of the ejector pin
hole less than 0.0005, the finish is less than Ra0.02.
3. Cryogenic treatment, freezing treatment at -
65°C - 75°C for 2 - 2.5 hours, the residual austenite in the valve spool will
be transformed into martensite, and the toughness and wear resistance of the
valve spool will be improved by at least 2 times. Most manufacturers of hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valves ignore this link.
AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, has
unique skills to process the valve spool, you can also try a small order!
There
is no harm without comparison. We talked about the manufacturing quality
definition of AAK from 3 aspects in last article. The manufacturing quality of
AAK hydraulic manifold is very close to those of foreign big brands, and
perhaps some functional innovation is a little slower. At this time, I was
thinking that AAK hydraulic manifold quality benchmarking is the international
first line brands. Can the price also benchmark?
The
hydraulic manifolds of the international first line are basically from large
enterprises, with brands, market influence, reputation and popularity. AAK
hydraulic manifolds belong to small and medium-sized enterprises. How should we
position our price? With the integration of manufacturing, performance and
function difference, it is natural that different hydraulic manifold
manufacturers have different quality.
If
the hydraulic manifold is of good quality, performance and function. If the
quality is comparable to the top brands, then the price is also synchronized?
Definitely not, because we are not a brand. No brand, no visibility. I always
believe that no matter what products, there is no reputation, no loyalty, only
trust, only popularity. For example, AAK hydraulic manifold has a high
reputation in the Google system, so there are more inquirers. AAK hydraulic
manifolds, such a small and medium-sized enterprise, does not talk about brand,
only about popularity. AAK hydraulic manifolds define prices from 3 dimensions:
1.
Hydraulic manifold is positioned at 70% of the global first-line brand price.
On
this premise, the quality of hydraulic manifold has been compared to the
world's leading brands. Set the price according to the range of about 70% of
the price of these big brands, and insist on bringing benefits to customers:
AAK quality benchmarking global first-line brands, but the price is more than
30% affordable.
2.
Conventional hydraulic manifold is similar to standard parts. Its price is 20% more
expensive than that of domestic peers, but its service life is twice that of
peers.
In
terms of hydraulic manifold raw materials and semi-finished products, AAK does
not use materials or components commonly used by peers, but increases the
procurement cost by more than 10%. With the production process of customized
parts, the service life of AAK hydraulic manifold is at least twice long that
of peers. In my opinion, the purchase cost is increased by 10%, the sales price
can be increased by 20%, but the service life is twice that of the peers.
3.
For hydraulic manifolds with manufacturing quality, performance and function
are only at the top level of in China, AAK distinguishes peers with functional
innovation.
The
price of this kind of hydraulic manifolds is difficult to determine. If it is
set low, the quality will deteriorate year by year in the price war; If it's set
high, nobody wants it. The characteristics are not obvious, and the purchase
reason is not attractive. The quality is medium to high, and the technical
performance indicators are not superior. AAK's strategy is to use our brains to
make some peripheral innovations, and show its advantages in the differentiation
of hydraulic manifold functions, becomes the top 1% of domestic subdivided
industries.
In
any case, AAK first adheres to the quality three-dimensional of hydraulic manifolds
(hydraulic manifold manufacturing quality, hydraulic manifold parameter
performance, and hydraulic manifold function innovation). Then consider the
three tiered price of hydraulic manifolds (AAK hydraulic manifold is
benchmarking the world's leading brands, the performance life of AAK hydraulic manifold
is twice that of its peers, and the top 1% of AAK hydraulic integration's
domestic industry segments)
AAK
hydraulic manifolds, 3 dimensions of quality, and 3 steps of price.
In
the articles 2 days ago, we mentioned that AAK hydraulic manifold, 3 dimensions
of quality and 3 steps of price. Today, let's talk about the customer positioning
of AAK Hydraulic Manifolds.
For
industrial products, especially industrial products with high price, on the
premise of quality assurance, the importance of trust is the first factor,
especially for production enterprises such as AAK hydraulic manifolds, which
focus on online marketing, should make great efforts to build the online trust
of hydraulic manifolds. The trust is better than all brands and marketing. The
promotion of AAK hydraulic manifolds is to pay less trust tax, and the
promotion of AAK hydraulic integration is to reap trust dividends.
Manufacturing
quality is 1. Only when the manufacturing quality is well done can the later
work be meaningful. If you don't do business for the poor, you need to do well
in quality, especially in manufacturing quality. For example, AAK hydraulic manifolds
have stable performance, basically no failure, long service life and low energy
consumption. As for the personalized customization of hydraulic manifolds, some
hydraulic unit structures are combined, mutated and grafted to create new
functions.
With
this foundation, we can become the supplier of the world's top 500 companies,
listed companies, famous enterprises, and not poor people. Poor people haggle
over orders, and the price is hard for you. As long as trust is well done and
manufacturing quality is well done, it is such a simple underlying logic. The
underlying logic of sales is that the quality must be good. If the quality is
not good, the following promotion skills, marketing skills and sales skills
will not be useful.
1.
The target customers of AAK hydraulic manifolds are the world's top 500
enterprises, first-tier and second-tier brands, including Chinese brands.
We
used to think that Make in China was inferior to others. Now, many Chinese
enterprises have entered the top 500 and this first-tier and second-tier brand.
Follow with the global top 500 enterprises, or the world's first-tier and
second-tier brands, follow their process and provide whatever they need. They
have standardized and strict procedures for suppliers.
2.
Listed enterprises at home and abroad, well-known large enterprises, are second
layer customers of AAK hydraulic manifolds.
Most
customers at this level are NO 1, or invisible champion in the subdivision.
3.
Hydraulic manifold customers with high quality awareness, and the small and
medium-sized enterprises affordable for high quality.
In
the first communication, it is very important to judge whether he is a customer
with tone. Psychologically, it is very important to understand customers, no
matter big or small. Big customers do not mean high tone, and small customers do
not mean low tone.
Although
a customer is small and medium-sized enterprise, in its subdivision of the
industry, he has requirement about the quality and is also affordable for the
quality, then he is a customer with tone. Many enterprises started from low
prices and small customers with no tone, a model has been built in the brain. A
model of sales is based on small customers without tone. That has a great
impact on the communication with customers with a tone. What kind of pattern
and thinking height should we have when negotiating with key customers? Take our
customer Honeywell as an example, I told him that I would prepare some benefits
in private according to the convention because of 3 business transactions. He
said no, really no. He said, "I purchase more than 100 million yuan a
year, but only more than 1 million yuan a year from you. Why should I get
rebate from you?"
The
top 500 companies in the world give you 1 million yuan business. You think it's
a big customer. You need to be cheap and give a rebate. How about this and
that? It's because you think too much and think wrong. This is also caused by
the sales model based on small customers without tone. The more you encounter
the world's top 500 enterprises, or the world's top brands, in fact, they are
most concerned about your quality and service, and the price is OK as long as
it does not exceed his authority.
It
is difficult for hydraulic manifold enterprises that are accustomed to small
businesses to do big business. The small boss's thinking is deadly. In the
process of our enterprise development, we will encounter big customers to talk
business with. Don't put an elephant in your brain, because fixed sales
concepts have defects and are difficult to eradicate. If the pattern, thinking
is limited, when meeting big customers, they are not confident. They are afraid
of customers running away, so they blindly compromise. In the end, the quality
is not guaranteed, and the customer partnership is dead.
How
to serve customers after customer positioning? Its central idea: understand
customers better than customers.
Working
with the global top 500 enterprises, or the world's first-tier and second-tier
brands, follow their process and provide whatever they need. They have
standardized and strict procedures for suppliers. During this process, some
skills are very important and you need to know more about customers than
customers. Before the customer comes to the factory for inspection, you must know
something about him or his company before the first conversation. But
understanding the company does not mean that you know customers better than
customers. Your understanding is nothing more than online information. As a
business in this industry, you should know the weakness of customers.
For
example, Honeywell contacted AAK to test an order for hydraulic manifolds. When
such a big customer came to me, what did I think? Why did he come to AAK
Hydraulic manifolds now? The 99% of the reasons is that the original supplier
had problems with quality, delivery time, price or service. From this point of
view, what are the problems of this customer according to your sales
experience? How to apply the right medicine to the case? To understand this, we
can understand customers better than customers.
When
in the industry long enough, we must do this. Most salesmen never care about
it. Some salesmen will grow and have good performance, which is the same
reason. Most salesmen, if the customer wants a price, they will quote a price. If
the customer said it was too expensive, then he didn't know what to do next.
The boss asked him how the customer was going. He would only answer that the
customer regard the quote was too expensive. He will only say that it is too
expensive. These are unproductive salesmen.
We
should think from the customer's point of view, is the price of the original
supplier rising? Is the delivery time not guaranteed? Is the quality down? Is
the after-sales service not good? No new functions come out? Think about why
customers come to you from these 5 aspects. That is to say, we know more about
customers than customers from these 5 aspects: price, delivery time, quality,
after-sales service and innovation.
AAK
hydraulic manifolds, 3 dimensions of quality, 3 steps of price, and 3
positioning of customers.
Muhammad is from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing
company in Turkey. He has been purchasing smoothly for 3 years, but stumped by
the valve spool of a hydraulic cartridge needle valve. At the beginning of last
year, some of their customers complained that the positioning of the paper
cutter was incorrect because of the leakage of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve.
The original manufacturer said that the hydraulic cartridge needle valve spool was
worn due to 24H operation of the equipment, which can only be replaced every 8
months, and can only guarantee the service life of 1 million times. The boss
was not satisfied with the after-sales service of the original hydraulic cartridge
needle valve manufacturer and asked Muhammad to find a manufacturer with a
service life of no less than 2 million times.
Muhammad left a message on AAK
website: Can you customize the hydraulic cartridge needle valve with a service
life of 2 million times? Especially, the valve spool shall be absolutely
wear-resistant. After communication, it was learned that the original
manufacturer's valve spool was out of use after 1 million times, and the boss
asked him to find 3 factories to sample at the same time. This hydraulic cartridge
needle valve is a standard part of HydraForce, and most hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers have existing procedures. As long as the production process
of valve spool is further upgraded, the wear resistance will be at least
doubled. After 15 days, AAK sent 5 hydraulic cartridge needle valves.
Last week, Muhammad sent a PO
for 600 hydraulic cartridge needle valves. Their engineers selected AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valves. In the PK among the 3 factories, AAK valve spool
has the strongest wear resistance, and it is safe for 2 million times.
Because
the working condition of the equipment requires high wear resistance of the
valve spool, in view of this hidden danger, AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve
spool is heat treated by 3 steps:
1. First of all, the stress
relief heat treatment shall be carried out by heating in stages. The heating
temperature of the first stage is 380 ℃, and the heat preservation shall be 1H after reaching
the temperature. The heating temperature of the second stage is 530 ℃, and the heat preservation shall be 45min after reaching the temperature.
The heating temperature of the third stage is 720 ℃,
and the heat preservation shall be 30min after reaching the temperature. The
air cooling shall be 300 ℃, and then the air cooling
shall be conducted to room temperature.
2. Secondly, carry out 2 times
of quenching, heat the valve spool to 800 ℃, hold it for 2H, then immerse it in quenching oil, hold
it at 65 ℃ for 40min, then cool it to room temperature,
and wash and dry it. The valve spool shall be quenched for a second time, and
the temperature shall be kept at 700 ℃ for 1H, and then
immersed in quenching oil. Hold at 85 ℃ for 55 min,
then cool to room temperature, and wash and dry.
3. Finally, place the valve spool
in the tempering furnace, heat it to 420 ℃, and keep it for 30min. Continue to heat to 585 ℃, keep it warm for 1H, cool it to room temperature, and then conduct
surface strengthening heat treatment, heat it to 950-980 ℃, keep it warm for 10-15min, cool it to 550-600 ℃ with water, cool it to 300-360 ℃ with oil,
and finally air cool it to room temperature.
After 3 steps of upgraded heat
treatment process, the strength of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve spool
is increased by at least 50%, and it is quenched twice to release the residual
stress. The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the valve spool are
improved, and the service life is guaranteed to be 2 million times.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valve, the valve spool has 2 million times of wear
resistance, you can also try it!
Adam,
an old American hydraulic customer, sent AAK 3 emails consecutively on the same
day last month, for the leakage of a hydraulic cartridge flow control valve.
According to the picture he sent, the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve
has a cut-off plate that is supported by a spring. Some customer complained
that the hydraulic cartridge flow valve leaked without working. The original manufacturer
of the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve cannot solve the problem in 3
months. Because the sales volume of this hydraulic cartridge flow control valve
is very good, Adam wants it 100% no complaints.
Through
the pictures, it is difficult to trace the cause. I suggested Adam send us 3
samples of the original hydraulic cartridge flow control valves. After we
received and checked the samples, we found that the leakage was more serious if
we pressurized, but the tightness of the cut-off plate was no problem. We
adjusted the spring, and the first pressurization did not leak, but after 3
times, the leakage occurred. It was basically judged that the spring has hidden
danger. After the spring tension test, it was found that the spring is
abnormal.
2
days later, we informed Adam of the hidden danger of the spring, and at the
same time, we replaced the internal springs of the 3 hydraulic cartridge flow control
valves with AAK springs, and returned the samples to him. 2 weeks later, Adam
sent a PO for this hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, with a value of more
than 30,000 dollars, and told us that the 3 returned samples were tested for 5
pressurizations, and no leakage was found, and the operating efficiency of the
hydraulic system was also improved by nearly 10%. Adam privately ridiculed
himself. He has been engaged in the hydraulic valve market for so many years,
but still has to ask for help from AAK when there is a problem that he cannot
solve.
The
main reason why AAK can effectively solve the leakage problem caused by springs,
is to ensure the following 3 points:
1.
We have our own spring source that has cooperated with us for 10 years, to
avoid the phenomenon of unequal material between the sample and the production
spring, and ensure the quality.
2.
Equipped with spring tension and compression tester, reasonably select the
spring with elastic coefficient within the standard range, to avoid leakage
caused by elastic coefficient deformation.
3.
A quality inspection department to ensure that the quality is qualified during
assembly and prevent leakage.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, 3-step check on the spring, zero leakage,
welcome to try!
Gallagher is from a hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company in Brazil. His purchase has been smooth, but a hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve stumped him. In the second half of last year, they purchased
high-pressure hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves for hydraulic power
units. About half a year later, a customer complained that the hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valve was leaking. According to the feedback from the original
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve manufacturer, the leakage was caused
by ultra-high pressure 450bar and it can only be replaced with new one.
Gallagher realized that the service life of the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve produced by the original manufacturer was only 6 months, and the
customer required at least 1 year. Gallagher contacted other cartridge valve manufacturers,
but none of them was able to guarantee the service life of 1 year for the
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve that is resistant to ultra-high
pressure of 450bar. Gallagher was worried.
Gallagher
found AAK website on B2B, noticed many customer cases related to hydraulic cartridge
pressure control valves, and sent an email asking: Can AAK ensure that the
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve withstand ultra-high pressure 450bar
working condition, and the service life is more than 1 year? According to the
hydraulic system schematic diagram and the original production drawing of the hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valve, AAK engineers found that the pressure relief
method has a great impact on the valve, will consume the valve life, and is
easy to leak. Gallagher asked AAK to make samples. After 35 days, AAK delivered
30 hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves.
Last
week, Gallagher informed us by email that AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valves had been used for 9 months, and no customer complained about
leakage. The boss asked to purchase in bulk from AAK to replace the original
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valves. I told him that 1 year's life is
our basic requirement. He told me that his boss valued the service life of AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve. The other cartridge valve
manufacturers can only guarantee a service life about 6 months, while AAK could
last more than 1 year.
The
pressure relief mode of this hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, is optimized
from the following 3 points:
1. The valve body of the hydraulic cartridge pressure
control valve is divided into the upper valve body and the lower valve body,
and then sealed and fastened with bolts to form the valve body. One end of the
valve hole of the upper valve body is used as the pressure fluid inlet, and one
end of the valve hole of the lower valve body is used as the pressure fluid
outlet.
2. The valve hole of the upper valve body is close to
the contact surface of the upper and lower valve bodies to form a variable
diameter hole section larger than the diameter of the valve hole, and a sealing
ball is set in it. The sealing ball is located on the valve hole port of the
lower valve body. The sealing ball and the valve hole port of the lower valve
body form a sealing pair. The upper part of the sealing ball is a return spring
located in the variable diameter hole section.
3. The valve hole on the lower valve body is a folded
hole composed of a vertical section and a horizontal section. The lower bottom
surface of the lower valve body is provided with a control hole which is
connected with the vertical section of the folded hole and coincides with the
axis.
The optimized hydraulic cartridge pressure control
valve, when the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder rises, the piston rod
lifts the sealing ball, and the valve is in the state of pressure relief. The
pressure relief medium flows out from the pressure fluid inlet along the valve
hole through the spring, sealing ball, and pressure oil outlet to realize
pressure relief. When the piston rod moves down, the sealing ball moves down to
form a seal with the valve hole port of the lower valve body and stop pressure
relief. This pressure relief method is conducive to the service life of
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, which is guaranteed for 1 year.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, ultra-high pressure 450bar, and
safe for 1 year, welcome to try it!
Devante is from a Spanish hydraulic equipment
manufacturing company, and has been engaged in procurement for more than 5
years. Last February, they upgraded an injection molding machine, focusing on
the selling point of "high speed when empty, low speed when heavy
load". The engineer asked Devante to purchase the hydraulic cartridge proportional
needle valve of HydraForce. During the equipment commissioning, it was found
that the pressure relief and flow of the hydraulic system of the equipment was
conflicted with the hydraulic cartridge proportional needle valve, resulting in
unstable operation of the equipment and jitter. HydraForce said that there was
no time to customize the hydraulic cartridge proportional needle valve. Devante
contacted several cartridge valve manufacturers and had no news. Devante was
very worried.
Devante
browsed AAK website on Google and left a message:
1.
Can AAK customize the hydraulic cartridge proportional needle valve, and the
performance benchmarking HydraForce?
2.
The function of smooth flow passage is required.
3.
The function of variable flow gain is required.
At
the beginning, I thought that he was requested for AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional
needle valve to benchmark the standard parts of HydraForce, but it was turned
out that he needed us to optimize the standard parts of HydraForce. According
to the equipment abnormality video, the original hydraulic cartridge proportional
needle valve drawing, and their required functions sent by Devante, after
discussion, AAK engineers was 90% confident. Devante asked AAK to make samples.
After 40 days, AAK sent 15 samples of cartridge proportional needle valves.
2 months later, Devante informed that the market
promotion of the upgraded equipment was smooth. Their engineers were satisfied
with AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional needle valves, especially its
variable flow gain characteristics, and smooth flow characteristics, small
pressure impact during pressure relief, and accurate flow control. We mainly
made 3 ingenious actions on the valve housing and valve spool, and solved the
problem that HydraForce didn't want to do.
1. The lower part of the valve
spool is arranged in the valve housing and sealed with the valve housing line. The
upper part of the valve spool is connected with the control cover plate, the
upper end of the control cover plate is connected with the valve cover with
threaded holes, and the displacement sensor is installed on the threaded holes
of the valve cover. The lower end of the valve spool is connected with the
upper cavity of the valve spool. When the valve spool is at the lowest end, the
valve is closed. When the valve spool moves upward, the valve gradually opens.
2. The lower end of the valve spool
bottom is equipped with a semicircular slotted orifice. When the valve opening
is small, the flow gain is small, and has good linearity, small flow, and
high-precision linear control. When the valve opening is large, the flow gain
is large, and it has good linearity, large flow and high-precision linear
control to ensure the variable flow gain function of the hydraulic cartridge proportional
needle valve.
3. The valve housing is
provided with 4 symmetrical waist-shaped holes, replacing the conventional
round holes. The oil flows in from the lower port of the valve spool and flows
out through the waist hole, reducing the pressure impact and speed sudden
change of the oil near the valve port of the hydraulic cartridge proportional needle
valve, and realizing the function of smooth flow.
AAK hydraulic cartridge proportional
needle valve, has dual functions of variable flow gain and smooth flow. You can
also try it!
Dante is from a hydraulic manufacturing company in
Greece. In the first half of last year, they wanted to upgrade the lifting
stability of the company's original elevator. The function of the
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is
the key. Dante made samples from a local hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer
that has been cooperating for 5 years. The stability has not reached the
assumption of upgrading. After 2 times of improvements, the effect is still not
obvious. Dante contacted more than 10 hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers, but failed after a week. The boss urged the progress
many times, and Dante was worried.
Dante found AAK on Google, noticed that AAK had some
customer cases about hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves, and sent an
email asking: Can AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve achieve fast
start and stable positioning? After communication, we learned that they wanted
to upgrade the equipment, and the key selling points of the equipment is to be
started quickly and positioned steadily. According to the hydraulic system
schematic diagram and the original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve
drawing provided by Dante, after discussion, AAK engineers confirmed that the
original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve can be optimized to achieve
fast start and stable positioning. After 45 days, AAK sent 10 samples of
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves.
2 months later, Dante sent an email saying that their
engineers were satisfied with the function of AAK hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve, which realized their lift selling points. Their sales
team was confident to do a good job in market promotion and achieve the hot
sale of equipment. AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve can solve the
contradiction between response speed and stability, and has no back pressure
effect. On the basis of the original, it has made 3 unique optimizations:
1. A fixed damping is installed between the inlet of
the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve and the pilot oil port. The oil
inlet of the valve body is 2 connecting ports of the oil circuit, and is
equipped with a pressure gauge interface.
2. The valve spool of the hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve slides in the upper and middle part of the valve body. The
middle section of the valve spool has an inner concave ring, which is the inlet
of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve. The right end of the inner
concave ring of the valve spool is processed into a conical surface. The
conical surface is equipped with a two-stage stepped taper ring. The cumulative
area of the conical surface is the same as the area of the cylinder end face at
the right end of the valve spool. The stepped taper is adopted to realize the
smooth flow change and smooth movement of the hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve.
3. The cylindrical outer circle at the right end of the
valve spool of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve slides with the
middle hole of the valve body. The adjusting screw is installed at the top
pressure of the rear end of the balance adjusting spring. The adjusting screw
is matched with the rear end of the valve body and controls the telescopic
operation of the balance adjusting spring.
The optimized hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve
adopts the hydraulic control automatic closing valve to realize the unity of
quickness and stability of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve. At the
same time, the pressure compensation is used to make the safety overflow function
of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve not affected by the back
pressure. It can be applied to the hydraulic system with closed center and open
center.
AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, fast start,
stable positioning, you can also try it!
Clinton, from Mexico, has purchased hydraulic valves
from China for 6 years, and has cooperated with AAK in several non-standard hydraulic
cartridge valves. Some time ago, some customers complained that their logistics
transmission equipment was not easy to operate. After the after-sales
inspection, it was found that the hydraulic cartridge relief valve on the
rotary device failed to buffer and the pressure regulation was not smooth. The
original manufacturer said that this hydraulic cartridge relief valve was benchmarked
to the standard parts of HydraForce, and he was unable to optimize.
Clinton contacted me and asked
me how to make the hydraulic cartridge relief valve easy to adjust pressure and
have buffering function. According to the hydraulic schematic diagram and the
original hydraulic cartridge relief valve drawing provided, AAK engineer found
that the requirements can be met as long as the original structure is improved.
After 35 days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic cartridge relief valves.
Last week, Clinton sent a
PO for 200 hydraulic cartridge relief valves. He said that when AAK hydraulic cartridge
relief valve was installed, the customer no longer complained. It not only
provided convenient pressure regulation and effective buffering, but also
improved the stability of the equipment. They planned to replace the whole
batch of equipment with AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valves.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief
valve, the spool, buffer piston and pressure regulating valve housing cooperate
to achieve buffer overflow effect, and the overall performance is reliable and
stable, mainly from 3 unique structures:
1. The valve housing is
provided with a first oil port, and the valve seat is provided with a second
oil port. The valve spool can move axially, and the front end cooperates with
the rear port of the valve seat to control the on-off between the second oil
port and the first oil port. The channel port in the front end of the valve spool
is provided with a plug, and the plug is axially provided with a damping hole.
The front end face of the valve spool is equipped with a filter screen, and the
front pressure surface of the valve spool is larger than the rear pressure
surface.
2. The inner cavity of the
front end of the pressure regulating screw nut has a buffer piston, and the
rear end has a guide part. The radial bulge in the middle forms a convex ring
part. The axial opening in the front end matches with the rear end of the valve
spool. The oil supply in the middle of the convex ring part is with the
connecting channel outside the rear end.
3. The pressure regulating
screw is hollow at the rear end of the valve spool to form an inner cavity,
which can move axially and change the axial force of the spring. The inner
cavity wall of the front end of the pressure regulating screw is matched with
the front end face of the convex ring to limit the buffer piston to move
forward.
For the optimized hydraulic cartridge
relief valve, when the pressure at the second oil port rises instantaneously,
the valve spool opens the overflow valve, so that the opening pressure of the
valve is low, and the oil flows from the second oil port to the first oil port
and fills the valve cavity. The oil in the inner chamber flows into the inner
chamber of the buffer piston through the damping hole. If the pressure in the
inner chamber of the buffer piston increases, the valve spool can be closed to
generate secondary pressure, and the valve spool can be opened to overflow
again to realize the buffer overflow function.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, has buffer and
is easy to operate. You can also try it!
Barnabas is from Pakistan, and has cooperated with AAK
for 4 years. Some time ago, he contacted me and needed my help to customize a
1+1=1 hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. They have a hydraulic manifold
developed by themselves. The customer feels that the manifold is too complex in
the selection of cartridge valves. Their engineers asked to integrate the
functions of the hydraulic relief valve and flow control valve into a hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve. The cartridge valves in the manifold are all standard
parts from HydraForce. For multi-functional hydraulic threaded cartridge valves,
HydraForce has no time to customize it.
After discussion, AAK engineers decided that it is
feasible to combine the functions of relief valve and flow control valve into a
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. After 45 days, AAK sent 20 hydraulic
threaded cartridge valves. Last week, Barnabas sent an email asking me to
prepare the production plan of 500 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves in
advance. Their manifold was recognized by customers. Their engineers were
satisfied with the dual-function of AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve can not only
adjust the system pressure, but also realize the easy unloading of the oil
circuit when the multi-way valve stops working. Our engineers have made 3
innovations, which most cartridge valve manufacturers can hardly think of at
the same time.
1. Change of valve spool: there are pilot valve spool
and main valve spool, and there are 3 through grooves connected in turn. The
main valve spool is at the front end of the pilot valve spool, located in the
first passage slot, and the length is less than the length of the passage slot.
The pilot valve spool is located in the third pass slot, the convex part passes
through the second pass slot and extends into the first pass slot, and the
convex slope matches the slope of the second pass slot.
2. Spring change: there is a main spring in the
main valve spool. One end of the spring is against the main valve spool and the
other end is against the valve housing. The outer side of the pilot valve spool
is sleeved with a pilot spring. One end of the spring is against the bulge at
the front end of the pilot valve spool, and the other end is against the
locking structure at the rear end of the pilot valve spool.
3. Change
of through-hole: the valve housing is provided with a first through-hole and a
second through-hole. The first through-hole corresponds to the position of the
pilot valve spool, and the second through-hole corresponds to the position of
the main valve spool. The front end of the main valve spool has a filter pad,
the side wall of the main valve spool has a third through hole, the front end
of the main valve spool has a fourth through hole, and the filter pad has a
fifth through hole.
The optimized hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, when
the multi-way valve stops working, the pilot valve spool moves towards the main
valve spool, and the main valve spool moves towards the front end, so that the
second through hole corresponds to the third through hole. The hydraulic oil
passes through four through holes, replacing the functions of relief valve and
flow control valve, and realizing unloading.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, replaces the
relief valve and flow control valve, with 2 in 1, save you money. Welcome to
have a try!
Albion is from Turkey, and has
cooperated with AAK on hydraulic manifold blocks for 2 years. In the second
half of last year, they received a sample order for hydraulic manifold blocks,
and the customer requested to deliver the samples within 60 days. For hydraulic
valve standard parts, this time frame is OK. However, for the customized hydraulic
manifold block, it is some difficult to finish in 45-50 days. Albion contacted
a local hydraulic manifold block manufacturer, but after receiving the
drawings, the manufacturer said it was too late. Because this hydraulic manifold
block has a high degree of integration, many types of cavity holes, multiple
machine tool positioning, complex processing, and the need for customized
molding tools, it needs at least 60 days. Albion has contacted more than 10
hydraulic manifold block manufacturers, none of them can catch the schedule. Albion
was worried.
Albion contacted me and asked
about the sample lead time. Can AAK complete the hydraulic manifold block
sample within 45-50 days? According to the analysis of AAK engineers, the
processing of this hydraulic manifold block is really difficult. According to
the conventional processing technology, it will take at least 60 days. AAK has
a unique processing technology to sample this hydraulic manifold block, and can
complete it in 45 days. Albion was very happy to learn it. AAK sent 3 samples
of hydraulic manifold blocks 45 days later.
3 weeks later, Albion informed
that AAK sample of hydraulic manifold block was sent to the customer. Thanks to
AAK for completing the hydraulic manifold blocks in 45 days, but it seems that
it is not the traditional processing method. For the sample of this hydraulic manifold
block, AAK does not need a forming knife, and uses a simple and time-saving
method to sample.
1. In the hydraulic manifold
block, first drill and tap the installation hole and oil passage hole
concentrically. There are grooves in the installation hole. There are eccentric
positioning pin holes at the bottom of the installation hole. During installation,
the fixed groove is sleeved into the opening ring and pressed to the same outer
diameter as the valve hole to ensure the size and accuracy of the cavity hole.
2. The layout of the oil
passage groove is based on the method of electronic printed circuit and plane
machining, and the cover plate is welded by brazing. This method is more
convenient and time shorter than conventional drilling.
3. The installation hole of
the hydraulic manifold block is drilled, expanded, milled, bored and processed.
The oil ports in the valve hole are distributed axially through the oil guide
groove, leading to the connection position of the oil passage groove on the oil
passage plate.
In this emergency processing
method, to sample the hydraulic manifold block is a surprise. There is no need
for customized tools, which saves time, simplifies processing, and does not
affect the hydraulic manifold block to support the hydraulic manifolds.
AAK hydraulic manifold block,
the sample lead time is only 70% of that of peers, you can also have a small
test.
A report said that the average life span of Chinese
enterprises is less than 3 years, and the life span of large enterprises is
rarely more than 35 years. One third of the world's top 500 enterprises have
disappeared. AAK Hydraulic Manifold is 9
years old, and I have been in awe of his premature death, so I walk on thin ice
every day, constantly cultivate myself and build team. Most failed enterprises
have their own problems, but their basic problem may be poor learning ability.
This is also what I learned from Peter Shengji's "The Fifth
Cultivation" recently.
1. Cultivate
the mental model of the founder of the enterprise.
1)Identify
leaps of abstraction: pay attention to how your mind jumps from observation to
general conclusion.
2)Practice
the left-hand column: write down the words that your heart usually won't say.
3)Balancing
inquiry and defense: the technique of openly discussing problems with each
other;
4)Face
up to the difference between what we say and what we do.
These 4 skills are not easy for me to grasp at present,
but I have already put them into practice, and I believe they will be fruitful.
2. Use
the mental model to influence the team and build a learning team.
Whether the above 4 skills are suitable for you or not,
it is important for enterprises to find their own ways to change the mental
model of managers and discuss problems openly. The learning of manufacturing
enterprises may only be internal and external.
AAK Hydraulic Manifold, team's internal learning,
analysis and face up to our shortcomings and strive to correct them. Many
business owners are admonishing: do as I say, not as I do! In fact, the boss's
behavior will imperceptibly affect everyone around him. AAK Hydraulic Manifold requires
the front-line staff of the workshop to do it according to the process, operation
SOP, and benchmarking data, and insist on manufacturing quality. The management
personnel are required to guide and supervise according to the process.
The internal benchmark of AAK Hydraulic Manifold includes
the front-line workers in the workshop, managers, technicians and R&D
departments. As long as they have successful behaviors, they will become a
model for AAK hydraulic manifold team to learn.
AAK
hydraulic manifold, external learning: focus on top brands, starting from
imitation. 9 years ago, when we decided to upgrade our products and do
hydraulic manifolds, our only expertise was the production of hydraulic cartridge
valves, no any experience about the design of hydraulic manifolds, the
selection of cartridge valves, the production of manifold blocks, and the
assembly and testing of hydraulic manifolds. We spent a lot of money to buy
SUN's hydraulic manifolds to imitate, and summarized the underlying logic from
the hydraulic principle. We hired engineer who have worked in HAWE for more
than 10 years. Take small steps and accumulate every day, until to serve 3
major types of customers, such as Honeywell the Fortune 500 company, Skyjack
the listed company in Canada, and BL the military industry company in Israel.
The external benchmark of AAK hydraulic manifolds
includes the hydraulic manifold manufacturers from the first-line
brands, the Honeywell from the world's top 500, the customers of listed
companies. These customers with the characteristics of exquisite requirements,
urge AAK Hydraulic Manifold employees to keep learning, growing and making
progress.
AAK Hydraulic Manifold, team learning, from inside to
outside. An excellent team needs not only talented individuals, but also the atmosphere
of learning. An atmosphere of mutual learning is formed within the enterprise.
Employees appreciate and cooperate with each other, eliminate the gap between
departments and the distance between superiors and subordinates, share
information, and achieve effective communication.
3. Use
the mental model flexibly, learn to give up, not try to prolong, learn to
improve, that is, constantly surpass yourself.
For some products, enterprises will have to give up on a
planned basis rather than try to prolong the life of products or businesses.
Some hydraulic manifolds, including plated hydraulic valves. When AAK produced
hydraulic valves 13 years ago, there was also a production line for plated
valves, but after the production of hydraulic manifolds, AAK resolutely
abandoned the plated valves, and focused on the hydraulic cartridge valves. The
total quality management and lean production of Japanese manufacturing industry
are aimed at their best products. The world invisible champion of German
enterprises also focuses on the familiar part.
5 years ago, AAK Hydraulic Manifold hired workshop
manager from the Japanese manufacturing industry to directly guide and lead the
employees on the production site. We clearly saw the improvement of quality and
efficiency, and clearly felt the effect of process improvement and capacity
release. More importantly, the technicians were stimulated. Using knowledge
flexibly can change our way of thinking. Practice with practical actions, find
problems, solve problems, and strive for satisfactory results.
AAK Hydraulic Manifold is good at innovation, and can
also face failure bravely, but it will always move forward in imbalance.
Each
of us is exchanging value with the world. Whether you are an individual,
manufacturing industry or other roles, you can't do without
"exchange". The essence of business is exchange, such as AAK
Hydraulic Manifold, which is exchanged with the value of our hydraulic manifolds to the customer's US
dollar price. However, the time dimension of this value exchange determines the
level and pattern of the enterprise.
The
exchange of some hydraulic manifold manufacturers is based on the "present",
which is the first level in my understanding. These hydraulic manifold
manufacturers do onetime deal. Pay the money and deliver the goods at the same
time, then call it quits. This way is fast, simple and direct, but not a
long-term one.
The
exchange of some hydraulic manifold manufacturers is based on "a lifetime",
which is the second level in my understanding. These hydraulic manifold
manufacturers should not only do business with customers once, but also do
business with customers all the time. If you have such a perception in your
mind for a lifetime, then people will become broader and more honest. Because
honesty means that we have to play repeated games with the world. Exchange
honesty for trust. Exchange integrity for benefits. This is a simple business
cognition, but it is also a personal awakening. Most of the people who make you
feel comfortable have reached this level, whether they are owners of small
hydraulic manifold manufacturers or large entrepreneurs with tens of billions
of scale. They will adhere to long-term principles throughout their lives.
The
exchange of some hydraulic manifold manufacturers is based on "generation
after generation". This is the third level in my understanding. What is
more long-term than life is life after life. Enterprises have a longer life
than entrepreneurs. Brand life is longer than product life. Therefore, all
values and trust are accumulated in the enterprise and brand. In this way,
there will be a century-old enterprise and an everlasting foundation. People
who want to do business with the world from generation to generation, you will
find that they are more selfless, fearless and more socially responsible.
AAK
Hydraulic Manifold, is unwilling to keep pace with its peers on the first level,
has stood on the shoulders of the second level, and may be on the way to the
third level. I don't have to be the winner. As long as it is valuable, I will
do it. It doesn't matter whether I succeed in my lifetime or after a hundred
years. This is really the mind worthy of our respect, the object of my study,
and the step I have been pursuing.
After
hearing the truth and rules, masters will really practice day after day. Most
people are half convinced when they hear the truth and rules. The outmoded
people laughed when they heard this. So, what should we do? Become a master.
Practice, try, act and summarize. Only in this way can the external truth be
internalized into one's own ability. Only external laws can be internalized
into their own cognition. That's it. The greatest truths is concise, and heavy
swords don’t need edgy blade. AAK Hydraulic Manifold is only willing to be a
master, and is different from most hydraulic
manifold manufacturers.
In the
business world, it is difficult to go further. But as we often say, hard roads
are never crowded.
AAK Hydraulic Manifold,
no matter how far it is, insists on taking steps every day, and will eventually
arrive.
Adam, an old customer of AAK
Hydraulic Valve, asked me to copy 2 hydraulic cartridge valve samples for
exhibition some time ago. After receiving the samples of cartridge valves, I
was a little surprised that the surface of the valve body was not heat treated,
just the polished low carbon steel raw material. I double checked with him, is
it still copied as required by the email, or can AAK improve the appearance of
the valve? He just replied: do your best, the samples are for exhibition.
I sent samples and refined 3 selling points.
1. The material of cartridge valve body and valve spool
is changed to high-strength alloy steel.
2. The surface treatment of hydraulic cartridge valve is
galvanized nickel alloy.
3. The durability of hydraulic cartridge valve ensure for
more than 2 million times.
Why should I do this? In fact, it
is due to a small matter I met before. I needed to polish 2 stones. I found a
stone polishing studio. They sent the stones back in a week. After I got the
polished stones, I felt that they did not polish them attentively. In fact, the
requirements for polishing the stones are very simple. As long as you polish it
carefully, you can do it well. But they just didn't want to work hard, so they
sent stones back after dealing with them. I'm a little surprised. The studio
seems to be of high quality. Why can't they do this little thing well?
Adam needs hydraulic cartridge valve samples to
participate in the exhibition. The manufacturing quality, function stability
and performance durability of such products must be considered. After Adam got
the hydraulic cartridge valve samples, he told me that he had 3 hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers copy 10 hydraulic cartridge valve samples. Only AAK made
improvements on the basis of the original, and helped him extract 3 selling points,
while others just completely copied the original. 2 months later, Adam told me
that the 2 models of hydraulic cartridge valves copied by AAK had the most
inquiries.
No matter my customers and I, or
my suppliers and I, we are "working together", but just the office is
different. No matter who, no matter how:
1. You can do any work as long as
you do your best. Doing your best is the easiest way to work.
2. If you are absent-minded, you
may lose a customer you can cooperate with for a long time, and then continue
to complain about the difficulty of business.
In fact,
most of the work has little technical content. As long as we do our best and
work hard, we can do a good job. But most people just don't want to do more and
think more, which leads to their failure in work and dissatisfaction of the
boss. In fact, they can take their work seriously and carefully, and then get
higher pay. But they are not. They are slacking off and dealing with their work
casually, while complaining about how hard life is and how unrecognized
talented they are.
Our corridor part-time cleaning
aunt, the property did not require her to work on weekends, because there were
not many people on weekends, but occasionally some people worked overtime. I
often see her on weekends. I asked her curiously, "Are you coming on
weekends?" She naturally replied that I have nothing to do at home, so I
come to see if there is any place that needs cleaning. This is the difference
between attentiveness and inattentiveness.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, treats every
old customer with care from a small matter, and will meet new customers with
more care.
A few days ago, a colleague
complained that Guru, an Indian customer, was not trustworthy. He promised AAK
as their preferred hydraulic cartridge valve supplier. Half a year later, he
sent samples of the hydraulic cartridge valves shipped by AAK to other
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers for inquiry. After communication, I learned
that Guru had a cartridge valve that had a problem before, AAK helped him solve
it, and Guru made a commitment to this colleague.
Whether in work or life, there are
too many unsatisfactory things. For example, the promised cooperation has not
been implemented; the person who promised to see you did not arrive; the phone
promised to you was not called etc.
We should be happy when we listen
to the promise from others, but don't take it too seriously. The advantage of
this is that you are grateful for it if it is done; it doesn't matter if it is
not done. You don't care too much about it, and naturally you won't be too
disappointed to hate others.
In terms
of concrete implementation, we must accept changes and have a philosophical
attitude. Because time is changing, the situation is changing, the environment
is changing, and the mood is changing, many variable influences will affect the
original commitment. If you can accept the change, you can take good words and
promises lightly and understand the difficulties of others. Besides, how should
we expect the favors from others, just because they agreed?
I remember that many years ago, we
went to Shanghai for training, and we met many local hydraulic valve colleagues
in Shanghai, as well as fellow villagers and alumni. We were very happy
together. There is an alumnus A, who is the leader of a unit and is equipped
with a special car. He sent the car to pick up and drop off wherever we go,
which was naturally much more convenient. Everyone thanked him one after another,
and he promised: when you come to Shanghai in the future, you must let me know,
I will send a car to pick you up.
Soon after, we went to Shanghai
for refresher training. The engineer Zhang from the same training group wanted
to go to the university in the suburbs to see his daughter. There was no direct
bus there. Someone has an idea: let alumni A send a car to drive you there!
Engineer Zhang called Alumni A without thinking about it. Alumni A told him
that he was in Hong Kong. He was not there. It was not convenient to ask the
company to send a car. Engineer Zhang was very angry. He told everyone that
alumnus A was a man with empty talk: "Don't tell me if you can't do it".
I advised him: Alumni A said this
to everyone, not to you only. Many people didn't take it to heart, just
listened to it. Because we don't have much friendship with alumni A, what is
the reason for them to pick us up? And alumnus A is also telling the truth. He
is not in the company and still occupies the public car. It is really
inappropriate. After all, it is the company's car, not his private car. Why
should we make trouble for others?
In fact, many times, a word from
others makes us have thoughts we should not have, and makes us lose
self-knowledge. We should trust the goodwill of others, but we should not take
it too seriously.
We should appreciate the kindness
expressed by others, but we don't really have to accept the kindness of others.
To face life with a grateful heart will always be full of positive energy. A
person full of positive energy has the ability to turn others' goodwill into
reality.
A person who takes the kindness of
others for granted is not qualified to accept the kindness, because you lack a
little virtue, and disappointment is inevitable and self-seeking. The same is
true for us manufacturing hydraulic valves. If there is only price, no value; only
profit, no quality, that virtue is also lacking.
AAK Hydraulic Valve, makes business
with a positive mind, and makes friends with kindness.
A
customer asked me, is AAK Hydraulic Valve tweeting for flow? AAK Hydraulic Valve
is not for traffic, but for trust. The rain is so heavy that it does not
moisten the grass without roots. Although the rain is heavy, if there is no
root to absorb the rain and dew, the grass and trees will not only be
moisturized, but may also be submerged. What AAK Hydraulic Valve needs to do is
not to ask how much rain it can rain, but to focus on its own water absorption
root.
Ask
how much it can rain, which means how much traffic it can have. What is
traffic? In the Google search, enter the hydraulic valve manufacturer, and the
customers of the hydraulic valves brush it again and again, which is the
traffic. There are also many ways to engage in traffic, such as keywords
setting, optimization of advertising, return on investment, click cost, display
cost, etc. The core is: the higher the price, the better. The price keeps
rising until the "flow dividend" disappears. The rain finally became
a high-priced tap water that paid for when it was used and stopped when it was
not paid.
What
should I do? I began to ask, what is the foothold of AAK Hydraulic Valve? AAK
Hydraulic Valve attracts new customers with trust, and win the repurchase rate
with manufacturing quality. These are the two legs of AAK Hydraulic Valve.
But
what about the repurchase rate? In the past, without the Internet, how did AAK
Hydraulic Valve at the end of the street come to today step by step? That's
because people who have bought AAK hydraulic valves think it's good. They can't
help buying it next time. This is the "repurchase rate". One day,
when a people heard that a friend needed a hydraulic valve, he could not help
recommending AAK. This is the "recommendation rate". The recommended
person, because of the good experience, will generate new repurchase rate and
recommendation rate, and then the recommended person follows the way. Finally,
the re-purchase rate and recommendation rate are rising, and the return rate is
getting lower and lower. The name AAK has become a root that can absorb water.
But if you really want to have a root that can absorb water, it is not enough
to have only repurchase rate and recommendation rate. The most important thing
is trust.
What
is trust? To purchase hydraulic valve, click search engine in Google search.
Guess whether he will input "hydraulic valves, hydraulic valve
manufacturers, China hydraulic valve manufacturers"
or "AAK hydraulic valves"? This difference is huge. If he is
searching for "hydraulic valves", then guess whether the money you
spend is the highest bidding price under this keyword. If he searches for
"AAK hydraulic valves", then at this time, the natural search results
are almost only AAK. So you don't have to participate in the auction at all.
Pick and choose, or you. This is trust. Finally, everyone began to realize that
the brand building that seemed to be a waste of money is not only worthless,
but also directly determines your life and death. When consumers look for
"AAK hydraulic valves", you are born. If consumers only look for
"hydraulic valves" forever, you will almost die. What's more
interesting is that the more sellers who know how to search for keywords, the
more they like business flow, the more they will benefit from business flow,
and the more they will ignore whether they have water absorption roots.
Finally, it is swallowed by traffic.
AAK
Hydraulic Valve walks on two legs, focusing on its own water absorption root.
For a
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, with many internal oil passage holes in
different apertures and 60 ° seating holes, and the accuracy requirement below 0.8μm,
Hemendra asked the most trusted local cartridge valve manufacturer to make
samples. 3 weeks later, the manufacturer found that the scrap rate of the hydraulic
flow control cartridge valve was more than 60%, and the efficiency was low, so he
gave up. The other hydraulic cartridge flow control vale manufacturers had
little interest in making samples. After AAK took over, it adopted a five-stage
forming reamer from Germany, and the cutter has several blades with different
diameters. This tool, solves the processing of all oil passage holes, and the
hole accuracy is within 0.5μm, 40% higher than the original requirement. AAK
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve enables Hemendra to receive the order
for hydraulic cylinders successfully.
Hemendra
is from India, and has purchased hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK for 5
years. Some time ago, one of their hydraulic cylinders needed a customized
hydraulic cartridge flow control valve, but encountered difficulties. He contacted
me. After communication, I learned the difficulties he encountered in local hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers. Because of the wasted time in the early stage,
he needs AAK to send the hydraulic cartridge flow control valve sample within
40 days. According to his drawing, it is difficult to process the valve hole,
but AAK has experience in this aspect. After 35 days, AAK sent 20 samples of
hydraulic cartridge control valves.
During CNY, Hemendra told me that
the customer was satisfied with their hydraulic cylinder prototype and would
like to place the annual order. He asked me to give priority to his orders for the
hydraulic cartridge flow control valves. Hemendra also specially thanked me.
The sample of AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge valve is not only delivered fast,
but also stable in manufacturing quality, especially the valve hole accuracy
reaches 0.5μm, which is 40% higher than the original requirement.
AAK
hydraulic flow control cartridge valve, in the finishing process, uses
five-stage forming reamer, which is from Germany, and has multiple blades with
different diameters. A tool, solves the processing of all oil passage holes,
and the hole accuracy is within 0.5 μm, which is 40% higher than the original
requirement. The reamer has a plurality of cutter teeth, and the reamer body is
provided with a cutter bar, a cutter handle and a cutter. The reamer body is
connected with the machine tool through the tool handle. The five-stage forming
reamer can easily shape the 60-degree seat face. It is tapered and can be
positioned. Especially, the tool has multiple blades with different diameters.
Under the operation of our skilled workers for more than 30 years, the
processing efficiency is high and the accuracy is guaranteed.
AAK
hydraulic flow control cartridge valve, is processed with good tool, by good
craftsman, with high precision, you can also try it.
Chaika is from Pakistan,
and has cooperated with AAK for hydraulic cartridge valves for more than 3
years. His boss trusts him very much. At the beginning of last year, a number
of their hydraulic paper cutters were complained by customers. The problem was
that the hydraulic directional cartridge valve spool was worn and stuck. His
boss was surprised. In the purchasing from AAK for more than 3 years, there was
no quality complaint about the hydraulic directional cartridge valves. After
checking, it was learned that this hydraulic directional cartridge valve is a
standard part of HydraForce. Chaika found a manufacturer that is 20% cheaper
than AAK to place the order. The boss asked Chaika to re-purchase the hydraulic
directional cartridge valves from AAK for replacement.
Chaika candidly told us the
problems encountered on this hydraulic directional cartridge valve, and needed
the help of AAK, to urgently produce 50 hydraulic directional cartridge valves
within 30 days. After 25 days, AAK successfully delivered the hydraulic
directional cartridge valves.
4 weeks
later, Chaika informed that the problem of the equipment being complained about
had been solved. This time, the boss was not happy and the customer was not
satisfied, which made him under great pressure. He thanked me for solving the problem
of the hydraulic directional cartridge valve in time. I told him that although
AAK hydraulic directional cartridge valve is 20% more expensive, its service life
is twice that of its peers, it has stable manufacturing quality, durable and
fault-free, due to the following 3 efforts:
1. In terms of material, AAK hydraulic directional cartridge valve, the
spool is made of 100Cr2 bearing steel, and then targeted heat treatment.
Permeating at 820-830 ° high temperature for 13 hours, then oil quenching, - 60
° to - 70 ° cryogenic treatment,+150 ° to+160 ° tempering treatment. Not only
is the molecular structure uniform, but also the hardness is increased to
HRC68. The valve spool with good wear resistance and high strength, ensures
that the service life of AAK hydraulic directional cartridge valve is twice
that of its peers.
2. In terms of processing, the processing accuracy of AAK hydraulic
directional cartridge valve can reach 0.01~0.3μm by Japan OKK ultra-precision
machine tool. And the production efficiency is more than 30% faster. Under the
operation of our old technician for more than 30 years of experience, the
components processed have no defects.
3. In terms of detection, the German Diatest small micro-pore diameter
measuring instrument is used to check and accurately measure the valve hole of AAK
hydraulic direction cartridge valve, and the measurement can reach 0.1μm.
AAK hydraulic directional cartridge valve, although more
expensive by 20%, it has a service life of 2 times that of other cartridge
valve manufacturers in China. Welcome to have a try!
Evander
is from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing company in Greece. He has been in purchasing
for 3 years smoothly. Last March, they tested a hydraulic power unit. The
hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve used was from a local manufacturer. During
equipment commissioning, the operation was unstable. The sensitivity of the
hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve port became dull under the influence
of oil pressure in the oil circuit when it is open or closed. The original manufacturer
had no solution. Evander contacted several other hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers for inquiry, but no result. He was very worried.
Evander
searched AAK website on Google and noticed that AAK has solved the problem of
hydraulic cartridge valves for customers many times. He left a message: Can AAK
make the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve stable, and open and close
sensitively? After communication, we learned that he was facing difficulties in
the test run. According to his hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve
drawing and system schematic diagram, AAK engineers analyzed that as long as
the original structure of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve was
optimized, the problem could be solved. Evander saw the hope and requested AAK
to make 20 samples. After 45 days, AAK delivered the samples of 20 hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valves.
8
months later, Evander sent the first order of 500 hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valves. Their customer was satisfied with their hydraulic power unit prototype,
which operated stably and opened and closed sensitively, so the first order
quantity was also surprising. AAK can replace the local cartridge valve manufacturer
in Greece, the key point is that AAK hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve
has two-way control oil circuit for opening and closing valves, which has high
sensitivity, stable operation, and good reliability. We optimized it from 3
points:
1.
The hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve spool has the conduction characteristic,
and the valve spool structure is composed of the upper closed valve oil cavity
cylindrical surface, the lower open valve oil cavity cylindrical surface, and
the middle seal isolation boss cylindrical surface. The through cavity in the
valve spool is composed of cylindrical through holes and boss holes at the
upper and lower ends.
2.
The valve spool mounting hole on the valve body is composed of 4 cylindrical
stepped holes from top to bottom, and the diameter decreases from top to
bottom. The upper end of the fourth step hole has a sealing cone, the lower end
of the third step hole has a side wall of the valve body, and there is an oil
inlet of the main oil circuit, and the fourth step hole is an oil outlet of the
main oil circuit.
3.
The second step hole and the intermediate seal isolate the cylindrical surface
of the boss to form a reciprocating dynamic seal. There is a transition seal
guide sleeve between the first step hole and the cylindrical surface of the
upper closed valve oil chamber, and the inner hole of the guide sleeve is
reciprocating dynamic seal.
The
optimized hydraulic cartridge pressure control valve, the upper and lower end
faces of the valve spool are connected, and the oil pressure of the oil circuit
has no effect on the lifting movement of the valve spool, and the size and
fluctuation of the oil pressure of the main oil circuit does not affect the
opening and closing sensitivity of the valve spool. It ensures the reliability,
stability and sensitivity of the opening and closing state of the hydraulic
cartridge pressure control valve.
AAK hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve, 3 main selling points, sensitive, stable and
reliable, you can also try it!
Yobachi, from Kenya,
has not been working for a long time as a purchaser, and encountered
difficulties in the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve. After 6
months of use, their hydraulic power unit has unstable operation. During after-sales
checking, it was judged that that the main seal of the hydraulic directional
control cartridge valve is worn, causing leakage and equipment failure.
However, the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve manufacturer said
that it had been nearly 1 year since the shipment, and he needed to purchase new
ones again. Yobachi explained that taking the time on the delivery,
transportation, assembly, equipment commissioning and inventory into account,
the actual service life of this batch of hydraulic directional control
cartridge valves was only 6 months. The boss was not satisfied that Yobachi had
found an unreliable manufacturer. He had to re-purchase the hydraulic
directional control cartridge valves with a service life of more than 1 year
without leakage. Yobachi was under pressure.
Yobachi left a message on our website:
1. I browsed the AAK cartridge valve website on
Google.
2. Can AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve have zero leakage? And the service life is more than 1 year?
3. What is the time and cost of customizing the
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve?
This is the first time that AAK received
an inquiry from Kenya about hydraulic cartridge valves. I was a little
cautious. After communication, it was learned that he had met with an
unreliable hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer, which made him very passive
with the boss and customers. According to the system hydraulic schematic
diagram and the original drawing of the hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve provided by him, after the analysis, AAK engineers found that it is not
difficult to make this hydraulic directional control cartridge valve as zero
leakage. Yobachi seemed a little unconvinced. I told him that in 2022, AAK
customized 67 non-standard hydraulic cartridge valves for customers, and made
samples of total 112 models of cartridge valves for new and old customers. Till
now, there are no quality complaints. After 7 days, Yobachi requested AAK to
make samples. After 40 days, AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic directional
control cartridge valves.
3 weeks later, Yobachi only
told us that the equipment installed with AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve operated stably, and there was no further news. On the first working day after
our CNY holiday, he sent an order for 380 hydraulic directional control cartridge
valves. He said that AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve has been
in use for more than 1 year, without leakage, and the equipment performance is
more stable. The boss asked him to purchase in batches.
The leakage of the original
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve is mainly caused by the wear of
the main seal, which leads to the leakage of the pilot hole. The cover plate,
valve spool, valve cage, O-ring, guide rod and valve body of the pilot hole are
all tricky. It is not difficult to make it zero leakage, AAK improved the
original structure of the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve from 3
aspects:
1. The cover plate and valve
body are connected by screws, the valve cage is inserted in the valve body, the
valve spool is installed in the valve cage, the valve spool is located under
the cover plate, and the bottom surface of the valve spool cavity is equipped
with a return spring.
2. The inner wall of the
valve spool is installed with a sealing ring that can prevent the leakage of
the pilot port. The main seal adopts a soft and hard composite seal structure.
The O-ring is installed on the valve spool guide cylinder, and the O-ring
prevents the oil from flowing back to the tank from the pilot hole.
3. The main seal of the
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve adopts a soft and hard composite
seal structure to prevent leakage at the pilot hole and the main seal.
AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve, no leakage, you can also try it!
Dakshesh is from a hydraulic
equipment manufacturing company in India. They have a batch of high-power
hydraulic cylinders and need to customize hydraulic cartridge valves. Dakshesh
chose a local manufacturer that has cooperated for 6 years to make samples. During
the equipment commissioning, the hydraulic cartridge valve has large pressure
impact, noise, and the overload overflow protection action is not sensitive,
resulting in the instability of the hydraulic cylinder. The manufacturer of the
hydraulic cartridge valve reported that these are unavoidable under the working
condition of 450 bar high pressure. Dakshesh contacted more than 10 other hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers, but there were no results. The engineer has
urged several times, Dakshesh was in a hurry.
Dakshesh wrote an email to
AAK. He introduced himself that one of his hydraulic cylinder customers suggested
him to contact AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. After communication, it was learned that one
of my old customers in India introduced AAK to him. Dakshesh encountered the
problem of hydraulic thread cartridge under 450bar working condition. For the hydraulic
cartridge valve, under 450 bar high pressure, free of impact and noise, and
stable operation, it is a typical requirement of German HAWE cartridge valves.
I told him that this can be solved completely by HAWE, or AAK. For cartridge
valves in the high-pressure field, AAK benchmarks HAWE, because our engineers
have worked in HAWE for more than 10 years, and have excellent skills in
high-pressure. After 35 days, AAK sent 12 customized samples of hydraulic
cartridge valves.
Yesterday, Dakshesh sent an
email, wishing the AAK cartridge valve a smooth start. At the same time, he
told me that the hydraulic cylinder with AAK hydraulic cartridge valve is not
only noiseless, but also stable. The high-power hydraulic cylinder prototype
has been delivered to the customer, and he is confident to get a big order.
AAK hydraulic cartridge valve
has low impact, no noise and is stable under high pressure of 450bar. The key is
due to 3 unique structures:
1. The outer cavity of the
right end of the hydraulic cartridge valve guide valve seat is connected with
personalized pressure regulating screw and lock nut. The outer side of the left
end of the guide valve seat is connected with the oil replenishing valve
sleeve.
2. The oil make-up valve
sleeve is coaxial with the main valve spool and the main valve piston. The
pressure regulating screw is connected with the guide valve spool, and the two
ends of the guide valve spool are respectively located in the inner cavity of
the guide valve seat and the oil make-up valve sleeve.
3. The left end of the guide
valve seat and the right end of the main valve spool are connected with the
first spring, and the first spring is connected with the outside of the seal
body. Both the front end of the guide valve seat and the inside of the main
valve piston are equipped with orifices. When high-pressure oil passes through,
the impact is small and there is no noise.
For the optimized AAK
hydraulic cartridge valve, the oil inlet of the guide valve seat is located in
the rear hole of the valve body and the oil makeup valve sleeve, which is
equivalent to integrating the guide valve, main valve and oil makeup valve into
the oil makeup valve. In this way, it has the dual functions of overflow and
oil replenishment. High pressure resistance 450bar, small impact, noiseless and
stable.
AAK hydraulic cartridge valve
has three advantages under high pressure of 450bar. You can also try it!
Melanton is from Mexico, and has cooperated with AAK
for 3 years. Some time ago, the commissioning of their new paper cutter was not
smooth, because of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve in the hydraulic
system. After communication, it was learned that in order to catch the time,
this hydraulic cartridge needle valve is customized by a local hydraulic cartridge
needle valve manufacturer who has cooperated with them for 5 years in Mexico.
When the liquid in the hydraulic system flows in reverse direction, the reverse
flow resistance is large, resulting in slow operation of the equipment. After
the original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge needle valve improved
twice, it still failed.
According
to the hydraulic schematic diagram, the drawing of hydraulic cartridge needle
valve, and paper cutter equipment working video, I told him that the reverse
flow resistance of the hydraulic system increased, probably due to the limited
opening or not opening of the oil port, and the hidden danger of flow. On the
third day, he sent me 3 samples of the original hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer, and asked me to improve based on the original samples. After 45
days, AAK sent 15 samples of hydraulic cartridge needle valves.
3 weeks later, Melanton informed us by email that
the paper cutter equipped with AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve was fast and
stable. AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve can effectively reduce the resistance
of liquid reverse flow, the key is due to the 3 unique structures:
1. The side wall of the
hydraulic cartridge needle valve body is provided with an oil inlet and an oil
outlet which are connected with the inner chamber. The compression spring in
the inner chamber is installed on the valve spool, and the head of the valve spool
is in the shape of a conical table. One end of the compression spring is
connected to the head of the valve spool, and the other end is connected to the
plug at the end of the inner cavity.
2. The head of the valve spool
is blocked between the oil inlet and the oil outlet. There is a valve rod near
the oil inlet. The end of the valve rod extends into the inner cavity of the
valve body and is connected to the head of the valve element. The outer end of
the valve rod is connected with a hand knob. Turning the hand knob can adjust
the relative position of the valve spool and the valve body, and can change the
flow.
3. The contact surface between
plug and valve spool is provided with a circular groove, and the valve spool
can be buttressed in the groove. When the oil flows in reverse direction, the
valve oil port automatically opens to reduce the liquid resistance.
The
optimized AAK hydraulic cartridge needle valve, when the oil flows in reverse
direction, the valve spool will open the oil port under the action of the
compression spring, and the reverse direction will be immediately opened to
make the liquid flow back, not only the liquid flow resistance is small, but
also the flow is stable. It ensures that the paper cutter runs fast and stably.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge needle valve has small hydraulic flow resistance and stable
flow. You can also try it!
Bront, from Israel, has been in contact with AAK for
3 years, but has not placed an order yet. During this period, there are inquiries
about hydraulic cartridge valves, valve blocks and hydraulic manifolds.
Although I marveled at the difficulty of doing business with this Israeli
customer, I replied to his email in time. Sometimes, Surprise comes and catches
you off guard. Bront placed a large order for 950 hydraulic flow control cartridge
valves during the period of our CNY holiday.
I remember that this hydraulic flow control cartridge
valve was inquired in May 2021. At the end of 2021, I was suddenly asked to
provide 3 samples. This is the valve benchmarking HydraForce, and we have the
stock. We sent the hydraulic flow control cartridge valves directly to him the
next day, and then there was no further news from him, until this order was
placed, which was more than 1 year from last contact. After communication, it
was learned that he was fooled by 2 cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo 3
years ago, so he was very cautious about the cartridge valve manufacturers from
Ningbo. It can be seen that not only the weak teammates hurt the mood, but also
the weak peers hurt the order.
Bront told me that each
parameter of AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge valve is benchmarking HydraForce,
and its function also meets the requirements of their equipment. What worries
him most is whether the performance can meet the requirements of the Israeli market.
There is no repair in 1 year, no minor repair in 2 years, and no major repair
in 3 years. Now 1 year has passed, and AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge valve
is normal. It has proved that it has passed the threshold of "no repair in
1 year". Sometimes, without too much language, time is the best answer. I
believe that this difficult Israeli customer has been settled by AAK. With our
manufacturing quality, stable function and long performance, we impressed him.
In the future, I will not worry about his order for cartridge valves.
AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge
valve is benchmarking HydaForce, but the price is only 70% of HydraForce, or even
lower. Compared with domestic peers, AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge valve
may be 20% more expensive, but the service life is twice that of its peers. AAK
hydraulic flow control cartridge valve, insists on 3 points: manufacturing
quality, function and performance.
1. In terms of material selection, AAK adopts 20CrNi2MoV
high carburized bearing steel imported from Germany, combined with carburizing
pretreatment process, through secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low
temperature tempering process, cooled to 650~700 ℃, and then discharged after cooling to 450~500 ℃. The microhardness of the treated material is 237~247 HV, and its
wear resistance and contact fatigue properties are more than 3 times higher
than that of the ordinary material.
2.
The equipment is equipped with a precision honing machine imported from the
United States. The accuracy of the hydraulic flow control cartridge valve hole
is guaranteed. The accuracy of the IT7~4 level and the surface roughness can
reach Ra0.32~0.04 μm. It is difficult to find 5 cartridge valve manufacturers
like this in Ningbo.
3.
In terms of inspection, AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge valve is 100%
fully inspected. The self-developed high-pressure test bench and durability
test equipment are used to check the pressure, flow and fatigue resistance of
the cartridge valves.
AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge
valve, 3 advantages, and its service life is twice that of its peers. You can

Recently, ChatGPT is so hot that the system
can't bear the surging traffic. Last November, after ChatGPT went online, Paul
Buchheit from Gmail predicted that Google would be overturned in 1 or 2 years,
based on the fact that technological progress would change the way people
access information.
These
days, I try ChatGPT every day. I use 3 kinds of titles to ask ChatGPT for help
to generate 800-word articles.
1.
Title of information or data: common problems and maintenance methods of hydraulic
cartridge valves.
2.
The title of personalized category: AAK Hydraulic Manifolds, based on 3 points,
has attracted 3 types of customers.
3.
Title of the innovation category: After 4 proofing and 3 material changes were
made, AAK was awarded a big order of cartridge valves by HydraForce finally
According
to the generated content of the article and my superficial feeling, to say
something negative first:
1.
The selling points and purchase reasons of AAK hydraulic cartridge valves must
be refined and organized by professional 5-know people who understand cartridge
valves.
2.
The hydraulic cartridge valve article written by ChatGPT is basically correct
nonsense, except for information or data.
3.
The creativity of human brain on hydraulic cartridge valve is infinite, and
ChatGPT's creativity on hydraulic cartridge valve still needs data
accumulation.
Then
say something positive:
1.100%
can write general articles instead of some liberal arts students because it is
armed by "machine learning".
2.
It is helpful and even forward-looking for writing articles about consumer
goods and consumables (such as beverages, bread, etc.).
3.
You know the content, but the expression is very stiff. ChatGPT can help you
overcome it, not only smooth, but also more orderly.
The
arrival of ChatGPT can't be said to be subversive, at least it will change the
way of search engines. Because no matter what proposition it is, it needs
preconditions.
1.
For example, brand and trust depend on what kind of products. Cheap things
should be branded, and expensive things should be trusted. Drinks should have
brands and hydraulic cartridge valves should have trust.
2.
For example, cognition and skills, which is important? The prerequisite is that
you are an elite or a grassroots. The gap between grass roots and grass roots
is not cognition, but skills to make money. The gap between the elite and the
elite is not the skill, but the perception of making money.
3. Does copywriting emphasize the
importance of tone or product? The prerequisite is that you are a big brand or
a grassroots. Nike shoes can say Just do it. They are qualified not to talk
about products, but to talk about realm. Grassroots say Just do it, how many
people do you think will pay? Believe it or not, I don't believe it.
No matter ChatGPT, or subversive technology, they both need preconditions.
Good people see good things, and
shameless people see shameless things. Those who engage in the manufacturing of
hydraulic cartridge valves, only do well themselves, embrace new technologies,
be kind and work hard.
AAK,
a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer in China, do business with
mindfulness, make friends with good intentions.
After CNY, most of the hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers in Ningbo started work on January 30. Because of the epidemic,
many of us haven't returned to our hometown for 3 years, so AAK hydraulic
cartridge valve started 3 days late, and also delayed answering the messages of
some new customers in the CNY period. I reply to target new customers or new
customers with clear messages first.
Eugene, from Greece, left a message asking: How to
solve the problems of unstable pressure regulation and squealing of hydraulic cartridge
relief valve? After communication, it was learned that one of their hydraulic
power units failed in the test run. The engineer found that the hydraulic
cartridge relief valve was unstable in pressure regulation and there was a
howl. This hydraulic cartridge relief valve was customized from a cartridge
valve manufacturer in Ningbo, China. After the manufacturer modified it, it
still failed to pass the test and the manufacturer gave up. Eugene saw AAK
hydraulic valve in Google and left a message on our website.
According to the analysis of the original hydraulic cartridge
relief valve drawing and system schematic diagram, AAK engineers found that as
long as the impact of the hydraulic system on the valve is reduced, it can not
only avoid whistling, but also stabilize the pressure. Eugene didn't seem to
believe that and needed us to give specific solution. Our engineer didn't
recommend them to customers. He worried that customer will give our solutions to
the original manufacturer to make improvements. I know the processing
technology of the original manufacturer. Even if they know this solution, it is
not sure to carry it out successful.
AAK planned to optimize the original hydraulic
cartridge relief valve in this way: As long as the processing accuracy is in
place, the optimized hydraulic cartridge relief valve can isolate the oil inlet
and return port when the system pressure is lower than the set pressure of the
spring. When the system pressure exceeds the set pressure of the spring, the
valve spool can be connected with the oil inlet and return port. The 3
advantages of stable voltage regulation, small impact and no vibration are
reflected.
1. The hydraulic cartridge relief valve
sleeve is equipped with large and small holes. The valve spool is installed in
the small hole and plays a guiding role for the valve spool, so that the valve spool
is more stable. The large hole is equipped with an elastic member seat, an
elastic member and an adjusting rod, and the elastic member connects the
adjusting rod and the upper elastic member seat.
2. An annular oil return hole is
arranged outside the elastic member seat. An inclined hole for oil inlet is
arranged on the outside of the valve spool.
3. The valve spool adopts the structure of slide
valve, so the valve spool is not easy to deflect. A conical surface is machined
in the middle of the valve spool, the valve sleeve is pressed on the conical
surface, and the sealing line of the entire hydraulic cartridge relief valve is
also on the conical surface.
It seems that, as our engineer said, Eugene has no news after he got our
specific plan. I was also ridiculed by the engineer that I believe too much in
people, and will suffer in business. A week later, on February 10 today,
Eugene's emailed us to start making samples and he will pay the fee immediately.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve has stable pressure
regulation, small impact and no vibration. You can also try it!
Monroe is from Turkey, and has
cooperated with AAK for 3 years. He purchases cartridge valves equivalent to
HydraForce standard parts 3-5 times a year. Some time ago, he emailed me to
ask: Can you customize non-standard parts of hydraulic cartridge relief valve?
I was a little surprised because there was no inquiry for non-standard
cartridge valves in the past 3 years. After communication, it was learned that
the hydraulic cartridge relief valve used in one of their hydraulic cylinders
encountered a problem. The vibration of the oil cylinder was severe, and the
problem came from the hydraulic cartridge relief valve, which was slow in
response to overload and overflow. This cartridge relief valve was customized
from a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer in Ningbo. The manufacturer had
optimized it twice, but the improvement was not obvious.
I asked
him if as long as the hydraulic cartridge relief valve is sensitive to overload
and overflow, it can solve the problem of cylinder jitter. I was just afraid to waste his sample time.
After getting the approval of their engineer, according to his system schematic
diagram and the original drawing of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve, AAK
engineer judged that after change the pilot function of the original hydraulic
cartridge relief valve, it can react sensitively. After 35 days, AAK sent 8
samples of hydraulic cartridge relief valves.
During the CNY, he sent us a PO of 280 hydraulic
cartridge relief valves. He said that the cylinder fitted with AAK hydraulic
cartridge relief valve very well, and did not shake. The customer was very
satisfied with the trial of the cylinder, and placed the order with them for
the cylinder. AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve is sensitive to overload and
overflow. The key is that we have made 3 breakthroughs in valve spool, seat structure
and sealing. The optimized AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve strengthens the
pilot function, and can directly push the valve spool to release pressure
without opening the pilot structure first. In the overload of hydraulic
cartridge relief valve, the overflow action is more direct and sensitive.
1. Change the through-hole of the oil replenishing
valve spool of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve to be larger than the
cross-sectional area of the valve seat opening, and the oil replenishing valve spool
and the overflow valve spool are arranged coaxially, and the pressure
regulating screw is connected with the pressure regulating lock nut through the
thread.
2. One end of the oil inlet of the valve seat is
connected with the rear through-hole of the oil filling valve spool, and is
equipped with a sealing ring and a spring.
3. The left end of the valve seat is the clamping
part, the middle and front parts are the plug-in parts which are similar to the
cylinder structure, the front part and its side have overflow outlet and
overflow inlet, and there are seal ring grooves between the two ports.
After finalizing the purchase contract of this hydraulic
cartridge relief valve, Monroe told me privately today that he was promoted to
the purchase manager by his boss, and he also got a raise in salary. He has
more confidence in the purchase of the cartridge valves.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, is also
sensitive to overload and overflow. You can also try it!
Colon comes from Turkey. They are
distributors of HydraForce, Rexroth, Eaton, BUCHER, HAWE, and SUN hydraulics
brands. They also often customize cartridge valves from overseas manufacturers.
They have cooperated with AAK for 4 years. The AAK cartridge valve standard
parts that benchmark SUN are loved by Colon. At the beginning of last year,
Colon wanted to customize a hydraulic directional cartridge valve and
expedite it.
After communication, it was learned
that the hydraulic directional cartridge valve produced by the original
manufacturer leaked due to the wear of the sealing ring after 6 months of use
by the customer. The original manufacturer changed to use fluororubber sealing
ring, but 6 months later, the old problem occurred again. The customer
requested to use better sealing for the hydraulic directional cartridge valve.
The original manufacturer prevaricated that the opening and closing work of the
system is too frequent. No matter what material of sealing ring is used, the
service life of the hydraulic direction cartridge valve can only be guaranteed
for 6 months. The boss requested that the manufacturer of hydraulic directional
cartridge valve be replaced, and the service life should not be less than 12
months, and the delivery time should be as fast as possible. Colon was in a
hurry and came to me for help
According to his description, our
engineer believed that the original manufacturer's judgment is correct. No
matter what material seal ring is used, the hydraulic directional cartridge
valve will have a service life no more than 6 months. Colon was a little
confused: How can we explain this to the customer? 2 days later, I told Colon
that replacing the sealing ring is not the only option to improve the sealing
effect, but also to change the sealing method. Colon was very happy to know
that AAK had an optimization plan. After 48 days, AAK sent 24 samples of
hydraulic directional cartridge valves.
Yesterday, Colon
emailed us and placed an order for 160 hydraulic directional cartridge valves.
He told me that his boss and customer were very satisfied with AAK's customized
hydraulic directional cartridge valve, which had no abnormality and leakage for
1 year. AAK hydraulic directional cartridge valve used a special PU
polyurethane rubber sealing ring from Japan. At the same time, we made
improvement on the structure of the sealing ring, to ensure 3 advantages:
double sealing, zero leakage, and long service life. It replaced the valve
produced by the original cartridge valve manufacturer, and also impressed the
customer and boss.
1. The valve sleeve is connected
with the valve body of the hydraulic directional cartridge valve by screwing.
The first sealing device is set at the connection, equipped with L-shaped
rubber gasket, and connected with the valve body by clamping. Most cartridge valve manufacturers dare not use these 2 connection methods.
2. The poppet spool of the
hydraulic directional cartridge valve is inserted and connected with the valve
sleeve by inlay. The right side of the poppet spool has a spring seat. The
spring is connected with the poppet spool and the spring seat through
penetration.
3. There is a second sealing device
at the bottom of the thread at one end of the valve body of the hydraulic
directional cartridge valve, which is connected with the valve body by
clamping. There is a second sealing ring at the outside of the connecting
clamp, and the other end of the valve body is also connected with the cover
plate by screwing.
AAK hydraulic directional cartridge
valve, double seal, zero leakage, long service life, no trouble in purchasing,
you can also customize it!
Bauer is from Brazil, and has purchased hydraulic
cartridge valves from AAK for 3 years. A batch of 70 pcs hydraulic flow control
cartridge valves had to ship before CNY, due to the epidemic situation, AAK
workshop stopped production for 11 days, resulting in the batch of hydraulic
flow control cartridge valves not being shipped on time. Bauer understood the
situation, because this guy also knew that I was doing my best. It was finally
shipped last week, and Bauer was relieved, and can hand over the goods to the
customer.
In the middle of December last
year, Bauer wanted to customize 70 hydraulic flow control cartridge valves. The
adjusting knob must be durable and easy to operate. I made fun of him: Did you
encounter problem so that you think of AAK cartridge valve? He told me that
these hydraulic flow control cartridge valves were purchased from a local cartridge
valve manufacturer in Brazil. During the daily equipment maintenance, their
hydraulic cylinder customer found that the knob of the hydraulic flow control cartridge
valve torque was large, difficult to turn, and inconvenient. The manufacturer
of the original hydraulic flow control cartridge valve reported that only the knob
of this structure could be used, otherwise it would not be durable. Bauer
didn't believe it, so he came to me.
AAK engineer disassembled the structure of the original
hydraulic flow control cartridge valve, combined with the working conditions of
the hydraulic cylinder, and found that the original hydraulic flow control cartridge
valve knob can be replaced by a new structure. Bauer asked me to arrange
production immediately, and needed to ship before CNY, which means it would have
only 30+ days to reprogram and produce 70 hydraulic flow control cartridge
valves. I told him that I would go all out, if without accident, it could be
shipped before CNY.
AAK hydraulic flow control cartridge
valve knob system includes positioning rod, adjusting handle, positioning rod
adjusting screw and adjusting screw seat. The upper end of the adjusting screw
seat is provided with a screw hole that is suitable for the thread of the
adjusting screw of the positioning rod, and the upper end of the adjusting
screw of the positioning rod is fixedly connected with the handle. This
structure is completely different from the concept of the Brazilian cartridge
valve manufacturer. It is not only easy to operate, but also more durable.
1.Between the lower end of the
positioning rod adjusting screw and the upper end of the valve opening
positioning rod, there is an intermediate transition adjustment shaft, and the
lower end of the intermediate transition adjustment shaft and the upper end are
also provided with a step shaft.
2. The lower end of the
adjusting screw seat is equipped with an adaptive adjusting shaft positioning
hole. The valve opening positioning rod is a ladder rod with the upper end
diameter greater than the lower end diameter. The upper end of the ladder rod
is equipped with an adaptive adjusting shaft connecting hole.
3. The valve cover is provided
with an upper round hole and a lower round hole which are respectively suitable
for the reciprocating dynamic seal at the upper and lower ends of the
positioning rod. The upper end of the positioning rod, the lower end of the
adjusting screw seat, the side of the intermediate transition adjusting shaft,
and the corresponding hole surface on the valve cover form a pressure relief
oil chamber of the adjusting screw. The valve cover is equipped with a guide
oil passage. The positioning rod is located below the connecting hole of the
adjusting shaft, and is equipped with a liquid return oil passage.
AAK
hydraulic flow control cartridge valve, the knob adjustment has unique skills,
you can also try it!
Our old Greek customer, Evander, emailed me in
November last year that he sent me a sample of hydraulic cartridge relief valve,
and stressing that it was not his, but one of his partners, Ptolemy, and also
attached Ptolemy's contact information. After receiving the sample and communicating
with Ptolemy, we learned that the hydraulic cartridge relief valve was produced
by a local cartridge valve manufacturer in Greek and installed in their
hydraulic cylinder, which was unstable. Their engineers said that the root
cause was the high back pressure of the hydraulic system and the insensitive
opening of the hydraulic cartridge valve.
We can't determine the
hidden dangers of the hydraulic cartridge valve just according to the original sample.
I suggested Evander sending us the video of abnormal hydraulic cylinder, the
drawing of hydraulic cartridge valve, and the schematic of the system. After
discussing, AAK engineers advised that the problem can only be solved by
reducing the opening back pressure resistance of the hydraulic cartridge valve.
Perhaps because of Evander's endorsement, Ptolemy paid the development fee on
the second day. I have always believed that for industrial products such as hydraulic
cartridge valves, it is difficult to get the order without trust. With trust
and reliable manufacturing quality, it is easy to get the order. After 40 days,
AAK sent 20 samples of hydraulic cartridge valve.
Yesterday, Ptolemy emailed me that AAK hydraulic
cartridge relief valve was used on the hydraulic cylinder. The prototype operated
stably and the hydraulic cartridge valve opened sensitively. AAK hydraulic
cartridge valve is stable and sensitive under high back pressure. We optimized
the structure of the original hydraulic cartridge relief valve from 3 aspects.
1. The valve sleeve of the
hydraulic cartridge relief valve has an oil inlet cavity, and the outer circle
of the valve sleeve is provided with a plurality of annular through holes as
oil outlet, and oblique holes are set to control the oil outlet.
2. The middle part of the main
valve spool is provided with a small hole connecting the oil inlet cavity and
the inclined hole, and the main valve spool can slide in the valve body to form
a spring cavity that is relatively closed to the oil inlet cavity, and the
spring cavity is equipped with a pressure regulating spring.
3. The left end of the valve
body is installed with an adjustable rod that can be rotated and retracted and
has a lock nut. The pressure regulating spring on the adjusting rod is connected
to the main valve spool. The outer diameter of the right end of the valve body
is provided with a sealing groove to place the sealing ring group. Two sealing
grooves are set on the left side of the external thread of the valve body, and
the sealing ring group is placed to seal the connection with the socket to
prevent oil leakage.
The optimized AAK hydraulic
cartridge relief valve equalizes the pressure difference on both sides of the
valve spool through the small hole on the valve spool, reducing the back
pressure resistance of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve opening. This makes
it easy to open and enhances the sensitivity and stability of the hydraulic
cartridge relief valve.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve, with high back pressure
circuit, is also sensitive and stable, you can also try it!
Consuelo is from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing company in Spain, and
has been engaged in procurement for less than 3 years. At the beginning of last
year, their excavator was complained. After checking, it was judged that the
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve was leaking, and the valve spool was
worn. According to the feedback from the original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve manufacturer, the valve spool is made of 12L14 free-cutting steel, which
is commonly used in the industry. The only solution is to replace the hydraulic
cartridge counterbalance valve with new ones, which means that the valves will
need to be replaced every 8 months. Consuelo knew that his boss and customer would
not be satisfied. He tried to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve, but failed.
Consuelo found AAK on Google, and noticed
that AAK had introduced some customer cases about the difficult and complicated
problems of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, and sent an email
asking: Can AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve achieve no internal
leakage and be durable for more than 1 year? After communication, we learned
that the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve produced by the original cartridge
valve manufacturer had internal leakage after being used for about 8 months.
According to the schematic diagram of the hydraulic system provided by Consuelo,
combined with the working conditions of the excavator, AAK engineers found that
it was not only the problem of changing the material of the valve spool, but
also the problem of optimizing the structure of the original hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve. After 40 days, AAK sent 6 samples of hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve.
Last week, Consuelo said that he would purchase 120 hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valves to replace the ones currently used on the excavators. The
excavators installed with AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve have
been used for 10 months, and there is no complaint of leakage. AAK improved the
original hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve from the 3 aspects:
1. Change in material selection.
AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve spool is made of 20CrNi2MoV high
carburized bearing steel, which is more suitable. We never consider the general
standard of the industry, but what material is most suitable for the working
condition.
2. The change of the seal, the inner cone of the check
valve spool and the lower end face of the valve seat form a line seal, the
outer cone of the control valve spool and the through hole on the valve seat
form a line seal, and the lower through hole section of the relief valve spool
and the valve seat form a line seal. Three lines are sealed to ensure no
leakage.
3. With the change of valve operation, the overflow
valve spool slides to control the on-off of the oil outlet and the oil return
port, with the help of the coordination of the control valve spool and the
valve seat. Whether the load rises or falls, the check valve spool is opened
and closed from twice to once, and the valve spool life is doubled.
AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, has no internal
leakage and is durable. You can also try it!
Leila
is from Russia. It has been 2 years since she purchased cartridge valves from
China. She has encountered difficulties in the accuracy and stability of
hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves. In February of last year, their
hydraulic pile driver was complained by customers about its inability after 6 months
of use. After checking, it was found that the hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve had leakage. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve advised that that this valve spool accuracy requirement was high, some hole
accuracy of the valve spool may be not up to standard and caused the leakage. It
could only be re-produced, which took 60 days. The after-service sales had to
deliver other pile drivers to the customer for use instead temporarily. The
boss was not satisfied with the original hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve
manufacturer, and required Leila to re-purchase the hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve, which must be completed within 40 days. Leila was under pressure.
Leila
left a message on AAK website:
1.
For the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve, with accuracy of each valve
spool is below 0.8μm and consistent, is AAK able to customize it?
2. Can
AAK finish 20 customized hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves within 40
days?
3. The
service life of the customized hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve shall
be 18 months.
This
is about the accuracy, production time and service life of the hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve. After communication, I learned that she had
trouble with the stability of the accuracy of the valve spool, and saw the
information of AAK hydraulic cartridge valve on B2B. I told her that AAK had
encountered these 3 problems before, and there were also practical solutions
for customers. Leila asked me to make samples according to her drawings. After
38 days, AAK sent 20 samples of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves.
Yesterday,
Leila emailed us that the pile driver equipped with AAK hydraulic pressure control
cartridge valve has been running for almost 1 year without leakage or
complaint. AAK hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve has been approved by her
boss. They are counting how many hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves
need to be purchased to replace those with hidden dangers. With the recognition
of her boss again, Leila was relaxed and pressureless. AAK hydraulic pressure control
cartridge valve has fulfilled 3 major requirements of Leila, by making efforts in
material selection of valve spool, component processing, equipment selection
and quality control.
1. The
valve spool material 20CrNi2MoV, imported from Germany, is adopted by AAK,
combined with AAK's personalized carburizing pretreatment process, through
secondary quenching + cryogenic treatment + low-temperature tempering process,
the microhardness of the valve spool is 237~247 HV, and the service life of the
valve spool has been increased by at least 3 times.
2. The
processing equipment adopts Japanese OKK ultra-precision machine tool, and the
old technicians operate the tool to ensure the accuracy of valve spool can
reach 0.3-0.5μm. And the production efficiency is more than 30% faster than
other machine tools.
3. In
terms of the testing instrument, the German Diatest micro-pore
diameter measuring instrument is used, which can
inspect each valve hole accurately.
AAK hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve, has consistent accuracy and service life of
more than 18 months. You can also try it!
Laertes, from Greece, has been cooperating with AAK
for 3 years, mainly purchasing standard parts of cartridge valves of
HydraForce. Last year, he needed to purchase a hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve benchmarking HydraForce to develop their pile driver, but AAK did not
have the procedure for this cartridge valve, and then no further news from him.
I thought he directly purchased from HydraForce. It was not until last December
that Laertes asked me the fastest time to customize the hydraulic directional
control cartridge valve, then I knew that he had purchased the hydraulic
directional control cartridge valve from a cartridge valve manufacturer in
Ningbo. During the equipment commissioning, the pile driver started slowly and
had general stability. Their sales did not think that it was up to par. The
engineer analyzed and suggested that the external control system should be
connected or the high-frequency reversing function of the hydraulic directional
control cartridge valve should be added. The boss asked to improve the
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve, but the original hydraulic
directional control cartridge valve manufacturer said that this is a standard
part of HydraForce and cannot be improved. Laertes had to contact AAK cartridge
valve again.
According to his hydraulic
schematic diagram, production drawings of hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve and equipment working video, AAK engineers said that adding the
high-frequency reversing function to the hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve can indeed avoid the slow vibration of the equipment and improve the
stability. The directional control of AAK is to control the valve spool through
oil circuit switching, and realize the commutation frequency adjustment of the
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve. Laertes paid the development fee
on the second day. After 35 days, AAK sent 12 samples of hydraulic directional
control cartridge valves.
Yesterday, Laertes informed by email that after
replacing with AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve, the pile
driver was debugged smoothly, and the vibration of the pile driver was fast,
the power density was high, the stability was good, and the high frequency and
large flow could be met. The AAK optimized hydraulic directional control cartridge
valve has one more function than the standard part of HydraForce.
1. The
AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve body has multiple valve holes
and multiple main oil passage ports, and the valve holes are interconnected.
2. Two throttle valve spools are installed on the
control flow channel between the oil chambers on both sides of the main oil
circuit switching valve spool and the control oil circuit switching valve spool.
The flow area of the two throttle valve spools can be adjusted. The pressure
reducing valve spool is installed on the control flow passage between the main
oil passage port and the control oil passage switching valve spool.
3. There is a control oil passage port on the valve
body for connecting the external control oil passage. The oil pressure area of
the control oil chamber at both ends of the control oil switching valve spool
and the main oil circuit switching valve spool is different. Under normal
pressure, the oil pressure acting area of the oil chamber is smaller than that
of the variable pressure oil chamber, which can realize the differential
connection of the control oil circuit.
By controlling the movement of the
oil switching valve spool and the main oil circuit switching valve spool, the
main oil circuit switching is realized. By adjusting the flow area of the two
throttling valve spools, the oil resistance of the control oil chamber is
changed, the movement speed of the main oil circuit switching valve spool is
changed, and the reversing time is adjusted to realize the reversing frequency
adjustment of the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve.
AAK, a cartridge valve
manufacturer in China, its hydraulic directional control cartridge valve has
one more function than the standard parts of HydraForce. You can also try it!
Alfredo is
from Spain. He has been smooth in purchasing for 3 years, but was stumbled in
the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve. Last October, they developed a
walking reducer that needed to purchase hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve.
During commissioning, the equipment stopped unstably. Their engineer judged
that the buffering function of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve
was not up to standard. The hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve manufacturer
said that this situation was caused by the inertia of the travel motor when it
stopped, and had nothing to do with the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve.
Alfredo was helpless in the face of the push-off of the original manufacturer.
Alfredo searched the website of
AAK hydraulic valve on Google, and noticed several customer cases of AAK about hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valves. He emailed us to ask: Can AAK customize the
hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve to solve the unstable stop of the
traveling reducer? At the same time, he also sent us the hydraulic schematic
diagram and video of on-site debugging. AAK engineers analyzed that as long as
the control structure of the original hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve
was changed and the buffering function of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve was strengthened, the travel reducer could stop stably. Alfredo saw hope
and asked AAK to make 7 samples of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves.
After 50 days, AAK sent the samples of hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves.
Two days before our CNY
holiday, Alfredo informed us by email that the test run of the walking reducer
was smooth and their engineers were very satisfied with the buffer function of
AAK hydraulic pressure control cartridge valves, the prototype has been sent to
customer and let me wait patiently for their annual purchase order. The
structure of the hydraulic pressure control cartridge valve is optimized from 3
aspects and AAK realizes the buffering function of the hydraulic pressure
control cartridge valve.
1. The inner chamber of the hydraulic pressure control
cartridge valve body is equipped with 2 limit steps. There is a buffer outlet
between the 2 steps. The plug is installed at the rear end of the valve body.
The valve spool is installed in the valve body, and the pressure regulating
spring and buffer are sleeved on the valve spool. One end of the pressure
regulating spring is connected to the limit bulge of the valve spool, and the
other end is connected to the buffer. The limit bulge of the valve spool is
matched with the first limit step, and the buffer is matched with the second
limit step.
2. There is an inlet at the front of the hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve body, and a return port between the inlet and
the first limit step. The buffer cavity is between the plug and the buffer. The
valve spool has an internal flow passage connecting the liquid inlet and the
buffer cavity, and the internal flow passage has an orifice.
3. For leakage prevention, 6 sealing rings and 2
retaining rings are used. There is a first sealing ring between the plug and
the valve body, and a second sealing ring between the buffer and the valve
body. There is a third sealing ring between the limit bulge of the valve spool
and the valve body. There are the first retaining ring and the fourth sealing
ring on the periphery of the front end of the valve body, the second retaining
ring and the fifth sealing ring on the periphery of the middle of the valve
body, and the sixth sealing ring on the periphery of the rear end of the valve
body.
The optimized AAK hydraulic
pressure control cartridge valve adopts the forward and reverse, as well as the
same direction and two-stage opening mode. The two-stage opening pressure is
independent and adjustable, reducing the system flow path, and the system has
high and low unloading pressure, realizing the buffering function.
AAK,
a top cartridge valve manufacturer in China, its hydraulic pressure control cartridge
valve is buffered, stable and reliable. Welcome to try it!
Barnaby is from Brazil, has purchased hydraulic threaded cartridge valves
in Ningbo for 5 years. He has purchased several standard parts of SUN cartridge
valves from AAK. He always thinks that AAK cartridge valves are expensive. At
the beginning of last year, the customer complained that their hydraulic cartridge
valve, installed in the hydraulic power unit, had leaked in 6 months. The original
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer said that the seal ring structure was
damaged in the assembly process, and the seal ring could only be replaced, but
after 1 month, there was leakage again. Barnaby realized that the hydraulic
threaded cartridge valve from this manufacturer has a service life of only 6
months. The boss is not satisfied with his purchase. There are always
complaints from customers. Barnaby feels the pressure from the boss.
Barnaby emailed me in August last year: Can AAK
ensure that each hydraulic threaded cartridge valve has no leakage within 1
year? After communication, we learned that he was facing difficulties in
purchasing from Ningbo cartridge valve manufacturers. According to the
cartridge valve manufacturers he mentioned, I admit that the price of AAK
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve is about 20% higher than those of these
peers. However, I guarantee that the service life of AAK hydraulic threaded
cartridge valve is twice that of its peers.
Barnaby's hydraulic threaded cartridge valve has a
service life of 6-8 months if it is sealed in a conventional or universal way.
AAK rarely uses traditional methods but to optimize the sealing method of the
original hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, which has a service life of at
least 12 months. After 45 days, AAK sent 38 hydraulic thread cartridge valve
samples and promised to refund the full amount of the fee if there was leakage
within 12 months.
The
day before yesterday, Barnaby emailed me that the customer had been using AAK
hydraulic threaded cartridge valve for nearly 6 months, and there was no
complaint. I told him that there would be no complaint in another 6 months, and
did not say anything else. Unexpectedly, he listed 12 standard parts of SUN
hydraulic thread cartridge valves yesterday for us to quote. This is an action
that Barnaby has never done before.
By
the way, for this type of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, AAK sealed it as
below. Most of the cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo do not use this
sealing method or structure.
1. Selection of sealing material: The material of O-ring is made of PU
polyurethane rubber sealing ring made in Japan, and the material of retaining
ring is polytetrafluoroethylene. Although the cost of these materials is more
than twice that of general materials, AAK insists on selecting the most durable
material to ensure the service life of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves.
2. Innovation inside the valve body: the regulating
and driving device of the hydraulic thread cartridge valve is installed in the valve
sleeve, and the valve spool is of inverted cone structure.
3. Optimization of sealing mode and structure: the
sealing ring group is composed of O-ring and retaining ring. The sealing ring
group is between the valve sleeve and the valve spool, and the retaining ring
is of double-sided structure. The retaining ring not only seals, but also
protects the O-ring from being squeezed. With the protection, the O-ring is not
easy to be deformed and damaged, and the O-ring can avoid to be cut during
installation.
AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, although 20%
more expensive, its service life is twice as long as that of other hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers in Ningbo China. You can also try it!
Osborne, from Iran, sent us a PO for 500 hydraulic cartridge
relief valves today. I was not surprised by this repeat order, because at the
time of inquiry, he said that as long as the quality was stable, he would repeat
the order twice a year. In the second half of last year, their hydraulic pump
needed hydraulic cartridge relief valve. He tried samples from 2 overseas
hydraulic cartridge relief valve manufacturers, but the buffering function of
the hydraulic cartridge relief valve was ordinary, which affected the operation
of the equipment. Osborne contacted other cartridge valve manufacturers, but
failed.
I also don't know how Osborne
found AAK hydraulic cartridge valve. AAK had no customers in Iran before. He
left a message on the AAK website: please provide me your address, I would send
you a sample to copy, and the buffering function of the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve must be met. After receiving his hydraulic cartridge relief valve sample,
according to his hydraulic system schematic diagram, and the video of equipment
commissioning, after discussion of AAK engineers, a plan was worked out. After
45 days, AAK sent 5 samples of hydraulic cartridge relief valve. 2 weeks later,
Osborne sent us an email to inform that the buffer function of AAK hydraulic
cartridge relief valve met their equipment requirements. The first order of 500
hydraulic cartridge relief valves was also attached. After confirming the
delivery date, the full payment was made the next day. The Iranian customer was
so refreshing and efficient, which is out of my expectation.
The two-stage buffer of AAK
hydraulic cartridge relief valve can eliminate the pressure pulse of the
hydraulic system and improve the service life of the equipment by at least 20%.
The optimized hydraulic cartridge relief valve, when the pressure at the oil
inlet reaches the first or second pressure, the two buffer pistons can act
successively to realize the opening or closing of the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve, absorb the pressure pulse at the oil inlet, and eliminate the system
pressure impact. Here is the structure innovation of the hydraulic cartridge relief
valve that AAK works out:
1. A sliding valve spool is
arranged in the valve body cavity of the hydraulic cartridge relief valve. The
left end of the valve rod is sleeved with a two-stage buffer piston, and the
valve rod is equipped with a compression spring. One end of the compression
spring is matched with the valve spool, and the other end is connected with the
secondary buffer piston, and the sliding rod of the secondary buffer piston is
set with the primary buffer piston.
2. The left port of the valve
body is equipped with a plug, which forms a two-stage buffer cavity between the
plug and the two-stage buffer piston. The two-stage buffer cavity is connected
with the oil inlet through the two-stage buffer orifice and the valve spool
orifice.
3. The outer peripheral
surface of the valve spool head and the peripheral surface of the valve stem
cavity are in sliding coordination. The front end is equipped with a cone
sealing head. The valve body oil drain port is connected with the sealing
cavity where the compression spring is located, and the oil outlet is connected
with the cavity where the cone sealing head is located.
AAK hydraulic cartridge relief valve made in China, 2-stage
buffering function, equipment life increased by 20%, you can also try it!
Peder is from Greece. He
purchased hydraulic valve blocks from AAK 3 years ago. He purchased hydraulic
valve blocks every 3 months in the first 2 years. There are ductile iron
materials, aluminum blocks and alloy steel (ZG20SiMn), which have been very
smooth. But since the inquiry of a hydraulic valve block last July, there has
been no news. We followed up via emails for several times but still no reply.
Until last week, that’s 6 months later, we received his PO for 100 hydraulic
valve blocks, which was quite unexpected.
After communication, we
learned that Peder sent the hydraulic valve block order to another manufacturer
after inquiring about it in July last year, because the price of the hydraulic
valve block is 12% cheaper than AAK. But their hydraulic manifold was
complained after 6 months. The hydraulic cartridge valve was stuck due to the
burr residue in the hydraulic valve block, and there were also complaints that
the hole accuracy is not up to standard, and the hydraulic manifold has
leakage. The original hydraulic valve block manufacturer blamed the hydraulic
valve block for its complex oil channel, high processing difficulty, and
difficulty in achieving 100% burr-free. The current accuracy is their limit.
Peder realized that he chose a manufacturer of hydraulic valve block that is
not of high quality.
Peder had to return to AAK
hydraulic valve block after 6 months. Because of the AAK hydraulic valve blocks
purchased before, are free of complaints. Even the complex oil circuit, the
burr can be completely removed.
AAK
hydraulic valve block has 3 features: no defect, no burr, and 100% accuracy.
The key source is from 3 aspects:
1.
When programming, use the tool magazine and tool length compensation function
to make the equipment control more accurate. The processing adopts the method
of one clamp and one top. The mandrel is installed on the three-jaw chuck of
the CNC indexing head, the threaded hole is connected and screwed with the
mandrel, and the left end is supported by the matching tailstock center to
ensure that the center is coaxial with the axis of the mandrel.
2.
AAK equipment for producing hydraulic valve blocks: the 5-axis machining center
can automatically and continuously complete the milling, drilling, boring,
tapping and other processes of the hydraulic valve block, which not only has
high efficiency, but also ensures the machining accuracy of the hydraulic valve
block. After processing, use a CMM to check the hole accuracy to ensure that
the accuracy reaches 100%.
3.
Deburr and polish without dead angle. The main shaft of the equipment can swing
360 °, and the burr can be removed no matter it stays in the cross hole of the
hydraulic valve block, or the slender hole, or the blind hole. After removal,
each hole shall be inspected with an industrial endoscope to ensure 100%
burr-free.
AAK hydraulic valve
block, 3 features. Although it is some more expensive, there are no complaints.

Arda, from Turkey, has been purchasing hydraulic cartridge valves from
China for 2 years smoothly. However, Arda has encountered difficulties in a
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve. Last August, their company
developed a mining hydraulic support, which requires hydraulic directional control
cartridge valve. Arda purchased it from an old hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer. The system impact was large during the equipment commissioning.
After the engineer optimized the hydraulic system, the hydraulic directional control
cartridge valve was required to have the secondary unloading function. The
original manufacturer said that this hydraulic directional control cartridge valve
is equivalent to a standard part of HydraForce, and the HydraForce original one
has this function neither. Arda contacted other cartridge valve manufacturers,
but no result.
Arda left a
message on AAK website: Does AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve
have the secondary unloading function? Similar problem was solved by AAK for a Russian
customer last year, and we sent Arda the internal structure diagram of the similar
valve. Arda saw the hope and asked AAK to make sample according to his drawing
of the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve. After 40 days, AAK sent
18 samples of hydraulic directional control cartridge valves.
4 weeks
after the samples of the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve were
sent, Arda informed us that their engineer was satisfied with AAK hydraulic
directional control cartridge valve, especially the secondary unloading function,
had solved their system impact well and the hydraulic support was stable.
AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve has
two-stage unloading function, which divides the high-pressure liquid energy
from the original release into two releases, and the sealing is skilled. Such
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve has 3 main selling points: small
pressure impact, small leakage and good sealing. The biggest advantage is that
its service life is twice that of the original cartridge valve manufacturer.
1. AAK hydraulic directional control cartridge valve is
equipped with the first valve spool and the second valve spool. The first stage
unloading is the second valve spool is opened, and the first valve spool is not
opened, which can reduce the hydraulic impact. The second stage unloading is
the first valve spool is fully opened, which can significantly expand the
liquid flow channel, so that the oil pressure is reduced.
2. The valve body of the hydraulic directional control
cartridge valve is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The liquid
inlet is connected with the liquid storage chamber of the valve spool assembly
through the first liquid guide hole. The liquid outlet is internally connected
with the first valve spool of the valve spool assembly through the second
liquid guide hole on the valve sleeve. The end of the valve sleeve is provided
with a second damping hole, which connects the first valve spool with the
connecting hole on the valve body.
3. The valve body and valve spool assembly are sealed
by multiple groups, and the valve spool and valve seat are sealed by cone
matching. When the hydraulic directional control cartridge valve is supplying
liquid in the forward direction, the first valve spool is pushed away from the
first valve seat to establish a forward liquid flow channel. When the liquid
supply is stopped, the first valve spool is reset to block the liquid storage
chamber and the second liquid guide hole, thus realizing the sealing function.
AAK
hydraulic directional control cartridge valve has 3 main selling points and 1
major benefit. You can also try it!
Mablevi is from South Africa, and has purchased
hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK for 2 years. They are all standard parts of
SUN or HyraForce models. The order frequency is high, but the quantity is
small. Sometimes 10 pieces are purchased for one style, and sometimes 1 piece
is purchased, but AAK has never disliked them. Last week, I received the annual
order of 1,000 hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves from Mablevi, which was
unexpected and surprising.
At the beginning of last year,
their dealers reported that the energy consumption of the excavators they
supplied was high. In order to increase the market share, the energy
consumption must be reduced. Their engineers optimized the whole hydraulic
system and put forward new requirements for the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve with energy recovery function. According to the feedback of the original cartridge
valve manufacturer, this is the model same as SUN hydraulic cartridge counterbalance
valve, which does not have energy recovery function. Mablevi checked with SUN
and got the reply that this function is not available, but it can be customized.
It requires a high MOQ and high development cost. Mablevi was in trouble.
Mablevi thought of AAK and asked: Can AAK customize the hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve with "energy recovery" function? It is the first
time that I received such functional requirement from customer. After
communication, I learned that they encountered difficulties in purchasing this
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve. According to their equipment
hydraulic system principle, in the process of load reduction and braking, the
mechanical energy of the load is fully converted into internal energy through
the throttling of the hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve to achieve the
smooth load reduction and braking, which leads to energy waste. Can we make use
of this energy? This is our thinking direction. After 45 days, AAK sent 48
samples of hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valves.
3 weeks after the samples of the
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve were sent, Mablevi informed me by
email that the excavator could work after be installed with AAK hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve. Their internal test showed that the energy consumption
fell by about 20%. It needs to wait the specific feedback from the market. He
asked me to wait patiently for the annual order of this hydraulic cartridge
counterbalance valve.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve can realize the stable load, and the
mechanical energy of the load can be converted into pressure oil through the
oil recovery hole to realize the energy recovery function when lowering or
braking. The key lies in 3 unique structures:
1. The throttling chamber of AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is divided into
pressure oil chamber, return oil chamber, two oil drain chambers and control
oil chamber. The control oil chamber is connected with the control oil port
through the throttle, the pressure oil chamber is connected with the pressure
oil port, and the two oil drain chambers are connected with the oil drain port.
2. AAK hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve is
also equipped with a three-way pressure compensation chamber with 4 holes (oil
inlet hole, recovery oil hole, working oil hole, and control oil hole). The oil
inlet hole is connected with the oil return cavity, the oil inlet hole is
connected with the oil drain cavity, the control oil hole is connected with the
pressure cavity, the recovery oil hole, and the working oil hole is connected
with their oil ports.
3. The compensation valve spool and balance spring are installed in the compensation
valve chamber. When the compensation valve spool acts, open the recovery oil hole first, and then open
the working oil hole. The pressure of the oil inlet hole and the balance spring
control the opening of the oil receiving hole and the working oil hole, control
the pressure of the oil hole, and control the closing of the oil receiving hole
and the working oil hole.
AAK
hydraulic cartridge counterbalance valve, has 1 more function than SUN standard
part, and reduces energy consumption by 20%. You can also try it!
This year's Spring Festival holiday, hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK has two team leaders who returned late due to family matters. Although it may have some impact on the subsequent production of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, I can understand that they are 1,500 kilometers away from home. The workshop director is also very concerned about the production progress and has been feeling a bit emotional these days. Our new salesperson was frustrated at both ends and was scolded by the workshop director. He was also complained about by customers due to delivery time, and the new salesperson often complained in the workshop.
Whether the managers of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers or the salesperson of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, be an emotionless person and don't complain everywhere. Especially for those engaged in business, one should not be complacent, let alone have high expectations for any customer. Some things, you tell the wind, and the wind will also notify the entire forest. Many people are very concerned about face. If hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers encounter problems, they should put down their face and actively seek help from others, and never work behind closed doors. At the same time, improve your shielding ability and don't get angry casually. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will also harm yourself. It's your fault to take another look at anyone or anything that consumes energy. If the customer has misunderstandings about the manufacturers of hydraulic cartridge valves, firstly, restrain your desire to refute and learn to accept and praise.
The quickest way to succeed is to replicate the achievements of others. Most big shots are like this, starting with learning from others and even plagiarizing them. Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK, in the early days, followed SUN and HydraForce. But hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK has always understood over the years that AAK cannot become someone else, but to constantly surpass ourselves. Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers should often interact with customers who value quality, as they bring a positive magnetic field. The type of customer business that hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers do determines their future height. The fastest way for a person to grow is to walk with excellent people. Meet people with high cognitive dimensions, they won't give you wealth. But everyone has a desire to share, and they will share their high-dimensional knowledge with you, which is the most valuable wealth. A person's maturity is not about understanding things, but understanding human nature.
When talent cannot support your ambition, you should step out and study hard. I really like a saying, the farther you go, the more you see. In this lifetime, there are only a few people who you truly care about and they care about you at the same time. If hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers can meet a few sincere customers, that's enough. This vast planet, with a sea of people in life, we can meet and talk to customers who share the same values, which can be seen as a community of shared destiny. You really need to cherish it. As long as you dare to think, dare to do, and be able to integrate knowledge and action, it will definitely make your life better and better. The road is walked out, not imagined. Thinking is always a problem, doing is the answer.
Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK has been on the road.

HYDRAULIC CARTRIDGE VALVES (784) 2024-03-09
For
people, reading is like the quality awareness of hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers, AAK is on the road
Material poverty can destroy your dignity
throughout your life. The lack of orders can disrupt the cost plan of a
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer. Spiritual poverty consumes your
reincarnation for several lifetimes. The poverty of quality can tear apart all
of a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer.
Books are cheap, but that doesn't mean
knowledge is cheap. Although reading may not necessarily lead to a bright
future, it can make you speak with emotional intelligence and act with
intelligence. Hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers who control quality well may not necessarily make your orders
soar, but they can reassure customers and also reassure themselves.
Reading is the lowest threshold of
nobility. Quality is the minimum threshold for a hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer. The future of the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer may seem
certain, but in reality, there is too much uncertainty. Life is like this, and
manufacturing is also like this. Only by walking on thin ice and constantly
maintaining respect for quality can we have a definite tomorrow.
Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK
maintains a good upbringing, no matter where they are or who they are facing.
This can distinguish AAK from other hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in
China. Some people are already in their teens and have already become lethargic,
while others are over sixty years old but still have a youthful aura, always
retaining the passion and passion of youth, freely galloping in their own
spiritual world. There is light in the eyes because there is still the initial
kindness and integrity in the heart, which is enough to light up one's entire
life.
Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK
in China, on the road, has a shining eye and insists on quality.
AAK HYDRAULIC CARTRIDGE VALVES (785) 2024-03-10
For
Hydraulic Fully Adjustable Needle Valve equivalent to SUN NFDC, AAK received
the trial order from a Customer in Germany
This week, we’d like to
introduce a hydraulic Fully Adjustable Needle Valve equivalent to SUN NFDC. The needle valves are fully adjustable
orifices used to regulate flow. They are infinitely adjustable from fully
closed up to the maximum orifice diameter. They are not pressure compensated
and may be used as flow controls or as shutoff valves.
Before CNY, we received
an inquiry from a new customer in Germany for SUN NFDC Fully Adjustable Needle
Valve. This cartridge valve is some new, and there are only a few hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers in Ningbo China that have this
model in stock. Per customer, they have followed up hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturer AAK for a long time, and would like to place a trial order for 10
pcs for SUN NFDC first. If the valves passed testing, they will place the
annual order for 500 pcs.
We are confident to
become the preferred hydraulic cartridge valve supplier for this customer in
Germany, because AAK quality has been approved for many European customers.
AAK hydraulic Fully
Adjustable Needle Valve:
1. The function and
performance is equivalent to that of SUN NFDC
2. Its service life is longer

Hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers need to take themselves seriously, then customers
can treat them as partners
Two years
ago, a sales guru from a hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer told me that
sales should act against human nature to be human and follow human nature to do
things. A few days ago, I requested the sales team of hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturer AAK to act this way. Some people don't
understand this, but it's actually quite simple.
Everyone
understands the principles of being a person, but many people are unwilling or
do not want to do it because “being a person” is hard and uncomfortable.
Similarly, everyone understands the principle of being sales person of
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, but many people are unwilling or do
not want to do so because "doing sales" is also difficult. Especially
for hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers engaged in foreign trade, they have
to face customers from different countries.
When
communicating with customers, hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in sales
should take into account their emotions and feelings, and think about whether
what they say will make others uncomfortable? This is naturally quite tiring.
If there is only oneself in the heart, it is naturally very easy to say
whatever feels good or happy. For sales person that take into account customer
feelings, I refer to it as sales person that are capable of “being a person”;
And for those who only focus on themselves, I would say that they are not very
good at "being a person" in sales.
From
elementary school to university, reading is hard, and getting up every day for
running and exercise is also hard. But playing games is easy, and watching
videos is also easy. If you pursue "relaxation" every day, you will
find it increasingly difficult to earn respect from others. Similarly, as the
sales person of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, if you only focus on
your own comfort, you will not receive the respect of customers.
If you
are strict with yourself every day and make yourself “uncomfortable”, you will
find that in the eyes of others, you are becoming more and more like a person,
and no one dares to look down on you. Similarly, as the sales person of
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers, if you take into account the emotions
and feelings of customers every day, you will become more and more like
partners in the eyes of customers.
Hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturer AAK, needs to compete with themselves and become
the partners of customers.

For communication between hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers and
customers, AAK take the quick and direct way, and reach the destination
directly
The
coils required by hydraulic cartridge
valve manufacturers need to be purchased from the coil
manufacturers, but the quality and price of the coil factories are uneven.
Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK has not changed the coil
manufacturer in the past 6 years and has been fixed in one factory for
procurement. This not only ensures stable coil quality, but also makes
hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK the largest customer of the coil
factory, allowing us to enjoy VIP level services.
A
while ago, a customer customized a hydraulic cartridge valve from hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturer AAK, and the coil also needed to be customized.
The day before yesterday, I specifically went to the coil manufacturer to have
a face-to-face communication with their engineers. I encountered an argument on
the plane and couldn't help but feel that if we couldn't get to the key point
in our communication, it would be a waste of time. This is also a complaint from
many customers that the sales person of many hydraulic cartridge valve
manufacturers in China cannot express the key points.
When
the flight attendant was tidying up the luggage, she found a cup of water in a
bag. Upon inquiry, the owner of the cup was a middle-aged male passenger in
front of me. The dialogue between the flight attendant and the passenger is as
follows.
Flight
attendant: Your cup needs to be taken out of the bag and cannot be placed in
the luggage above your head as it is prone to water leakage. When I heard the
flight attendant say this, I felt like the expression was not correct. As
expected, the passenger replied, "My cup is made in Germany. I know it, it
definitely won't leak.”. The flight attendant and the passenger communicated
back and forth for more than 5 minutes, and finally called the lead flight
attendant to solve the problem.
The
communication style of this flight attendant is doomed to argue with each
other. If the sales person of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers uses this
communication method, emails are destined to be ineffective.
In
this situation, imperative sentences should be used directly. Flight attendant:
Sir, the cup of water cannot be placed in the luggage above your head.
According to airline regulations, it must be removed. Please cooperate.
Not
giving the other party bargaining space can make communication quick and direct
to the goal. The emails from hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK are
quick, direct, and direct to the destination.

This week, we’d like to
introduce a hydraulic Pilot-to-close check valve equivalent to SUN COJA. This valve is a spring biased closed,
pilot-to-close check cartridge that has a 1.8:1 pilot ratio.
Before CNY, we received
an inquiry from a new customer in Germany for many cartridge valves, including SUN
COJA Pilot-to-close check valve. This cartridge valve is not very commonly used,
and there are only a few hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers in Ningbo China that have this model in stock. Per customer,
they have followed up hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK for a long
time, and would like to place a trial order for 10 pcs for SUN COJA first. If
the valves passed testing, they will place the annual order for 500 pcs.
We are confident to
become the preferred hydraulic cartridge valve supplier for this customer in
Germany, because AAK quality has been approved for many European customers.

Can blindly lowering
prices retain customers? The idea of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK
A
few days ago, a hydraulic cartridge valve customer from Türkiye listed more
than 20 numbers to the hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturer AAK, and needed
the price. After several rounds of communication, he should have sensed the
reliability of hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK. We also wanted to
retain this customer and offered two price reductions, but he still requested
AAK to continue the price reduction. Otherwise, he will go to other hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers in China. I just asked myself a question, can
blindly lowering prices really retain your customers? Obviously not.
If
the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers blindly lower prices, it will only
turn the current customer into a troublemaker, and at the same time, it will
make the customers who previously cooperated with you feel cold. Most hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers do B-end business, which makes it easier to
involve the entire market. Market prices can fluctuate freely, which poses a
significant risk to hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. What should we do
when a customer wants to go elsewhere?
Hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers retain customers not through skills, but through
sincerity. Some hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers retain customers and
like to give gifts. If it doesn't work out once, they only give it 3 times.
These hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers hope to express their sincerity
by giving gifts. Sincerity is not expressed through words, but through actions.
The gift from the manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge valves is a bit rough
and simple. The customer's departure must have his inner thoughts. At this
time, the customer hesitated about which hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer
to cooperate with. He was conflicted. In the process of his entanglement, if
the hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer can use sincerity, what we need to
consider at this time is what the customer is worried about and what they want.
Every
customer's departure must have its own reasons. Before he leaves, frank
consultation is necessary. Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer AAK will ask
the customer at this time: it's okay if we don't cooperate, but we would like
to know the reason for the non-cooperation. You tell me, if I can do it, I will
cooperate; if I can't do it, you don't have loss.
Hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers need to first understand why they want to leave.
Most hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers focus on pushing orders when
dealing with customer relationships, especially when they are about to
cooperate. They focus on how to keep this customer and how to say something
that can make customer place an order. Hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers
rarely think about what customers really think and lack curiosity to explore.
They often use the “what” methods to push orders.
Hydraulic
cartridge valve manufacturers should serve customers with sincerity.

When feeling uneasy,
hydraulic Manifold manufacturer AAK shares a few words with you, and looks
forward to seeing you as well
In
the past two weeks, I'm not sure if it's because Christmas is approaching or
due to the hydraulic manifold
manufacturer AAK's own reasons, there have been fewer
inquiries for hydraulic manifolds, and I feel a bit “uneasy”. In fact,
hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK also had this kind of unease in the early
years.
When
we feel “uneasy” in our hearts, we consider it a big problem and want to solve
it as soon as possible. In the early years of the hydraulic manifold
manufacturer AAK, I also thought the same way. Now calm down and think about
it. Human anxiety is directly proportional to desire. The greater the desire,
the more severe the anxiety. If the desire is small, the less anxiety there is.
Without desire, there is no anxiety. From a positive perspective, desire can
generate hope, anticipation, and joy, while from a negative perspective, desire
can lead to anxiety, worry, discouragement, and sadness. This also confirms the
Western saying: every coin has two sides.
Anxiety
is one of my emotions, although it is a feeling of disgust, it is essential for
survival. Adopting a helpless acceptance or a more positive attitude towards it
creates two different situations. Feeling uneasy, what should hydraulic
manifold manufacturer AAK do? To put it bluntly, it means: don't think so much,
just do it!
Hydraulic
manifold manufacturer AAK ranks high on Google. As long as you search for hydraulic manifolds on the
internet, it is easy to see hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK in China.
However, customers who see it may not necessarily have to send inquiries to
hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK. At the end of last year, an engineer Austin
from the United States found hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK on Google. He
said that he was developing hydraulic manifolds and needed stable suppliers to
assist him in completing the work. He believed that hydraulic manifold
manufacturer AAK was competent. We haven't met before, and the simple language
inspired me to work with him. Before the hydraulic manifold was delivered,
Austin also introduced 3 new customers to hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK.
Another engineer from Russia, Ursus, always inquired about prices from
hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK. After receiving the price, he replied that
it was expensive and showed no interest. However, a few weeks later, he came
back to inquire about prices from hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK, and I
didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Whether
it's being a person or running a hydraulic manifold manufacturer, you can't
cultivate yourself into a "dollar" and make everyone like you.
Whether it's people or business, fate is necessary.
Hydraulic
manifold manufacturer AAK focuses on customers with quality tone. You have
tone, I have power, and I have effort, providing more assurance.

Yagmur
is from Türkiye and mainly purchases hydraulic cartridge valve standard parts
from Ningbo. Recently, they developed a hydraulic drilling equipment that uses
hydraulic flow
control valves that
are modeled after HydraForce standard parts, and purchased from a hydraulic
valve manufacturer in Ningbo. During equipment debugging, it was found that the
flow rate of the hydraulic flow control valve was unstable, and the leakage
rate did not match the hydraulic system. The original hydraulic flow control
valve manufacturer stated that this is a replica of HydraForce and is unwilling
to optimize its function for several hydraulic flow control valve samples. Yagmur
checked with several other hydraulic valve manufacturers, but they were not interested. Yamour
was very anxious.
The original
hydraulic flow control valve manufacturer introduced AAK to Yagmur. After
communication, it was learned that her requirements for this model include low
leakage and high precision requirements for valve holes. Based on the hydraulic
system schematic provided by her and the industry model code of the HydraForce
hydraulic flow control valve, I recommended a ready-made sample to her. As long
as the external dimensions meet his manifold requirements, it can solve the
problem she is currently facing.
2
weeks after the sample was sent out, Yagmur informed via email that the
drilling equipment was successfully debugged. The low leakage of AAK hydraulic
flow control valve meets their system requirements, especially the flow control
function that they are very satisfied with. I told her that for this AAK
hydraulic flow control valve, we have 3 major advantages:
1. The internal
leakage of AAK hydraulic flow control valve is 5 drops/min, while most peers
can only achieve 8-10 drops/min.
2. The
hole accuracy of AAK hydraulic flow control valve can reach IT6-IT7 level, and
the surface roughness can reach Ra0.2-0.025μm.
3. The AAK hydraulic
flow control valve function fully aligns with the standard parts of HydraForce,
and there are probably no more than 3 manufacturers in Ningbo to meet it.
The
vast majority of hydraulic flow control valve manufacturers in the industry do
not use forming cutters for machining small quantities of hydraulic flow control
valves, but use CNC instead to process according to dimensional requirements.
The result of this machining is an accuracy of 0.03mm and a positional
tolerance of 0.02mm. The AAK hydraulic flow control valve is processed with
forming tools, and the dimensional accuracy of the valve hole after processing
reaches 0.01mm, with a positional tolerance within 0.007mm. At the same time,
AAK has its own standards for tool selection, with hardness of HRA90 alloy
material, heat resistance of 900 ℃, valve hole accuracy of IT6-IT7 level,
surface roughness of Ra0.2-0.025μm, and tool life is 30 times higher than
ordinary alloy steel.
