Jacking Systems

Basic single-acting system with a hand pump, gauge, hose and single acting cylinder.

Basic single-acting system with a hand pump, gauge, hose, multiple shut-off valves, load-lowering valves and multiple cylinders.

Basic double-acting system with an electric/hydraulic pump, shut-off valves, load-lowering valves and multiple double-acting cylinders.

1. Cylinder - applies hydraulic force.
2. Pump - a device for converting mechanical energy to fluid energy.
3. Directional valve - controls the direction of hydraulic fluid in the system.
4. Gauge - measures P.S.I. pressure (Pounds per Square Inch) and/or force.
5. Hose - transports hydraulic fluid.
6. Manifold - Allows distribution of hydraulic fluid from one source to several cylinders.
7. Swivel Connector - allows proper alignment of valves and/or gauges. Used when units being connected can not be rotated.
8. Quick Coupling - "hose half" and "cylinder half" couplings are used for quick connection and fluid flow check when separated.
9. Shut-Off Valve - regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid to or from the cylinders.
10. Load-Lowering Valve - allows metered lowering of cylinder and provides safetywhen prolonged load holding is required.
11. Tee Gauge Adapter - allows for installation of pressure/tonnage gauge anywhere in the hydraulic system.
12. Pipe Plug - for blocking unused ports within the system.
