Manifold
Manifolds connect ports of hydraulic components with drilled metal blocks, instead of piping. They usually have outlet ports with tapered threads (Rc) or connection flanges. Manifolds have the following advantages.
i . They can reduce leakage and vibrations with simple piping.
ii . They are compact.
iii. Their assembly does not require trained skills; installation is easy and quickly completed.
iv. Base blocks of 1/8- and 3/8-inch bores have been standardized for modular valves.
Manifolds are made of the following materials.
i . SS material: Often selected for customized units.
ii. SUS material: Used when rust should be prevented.
iii. SF (forging) material: Employed for high pressure applications.
iv. Continuous casting material: Chosen with consideration to cost performance.
v. Aluminum material: Used for light weight applications, such as vehicles.
