A hydraulic manifold block distributes and directs fluid between pumps, actuators, and tanks while eliminating external hoses and reducing leak points.
- Pressure Ratings:
-
- Aluminum (6061-T6): Typically rated up to 210–3,000 psi (138–207 bar), best for lightweight or mobile applications.
- Steel / Ductile Iron: Rated up to 5,000–6,000 psi (350–414 bar) for heavy industrial and high-vibration environments.
- Port Types & Threads: SAE O-ring boss (ORB) J1926-1, BSPP, Metric, or Code 61/62 SAE flanged ports.
- Valve Mounting Patterns: Industry standards such as ISO 4401 / CETOP / D03 (NG6) and D05 (NG10).
- Flow Rates: Ranges from low-flow compact setups to high-performance configurations exceeding 500 L/min depending on cross-section sizing. [1]
- Parallel Manifolds: Distributes equal pressure to multiple stations simultaneously.
- Series Manifolds: Routes fluid sequentially from one valve/station to the next.
- Cartridge-Style Blocks: Designed to house screw-in directional, relief, or check valve cavities directly into the block body
