In hydraulic systems, fluid cleanliness is not just a maintenance concern—it’s a critical performance factor. Contaminated fluid is the leading cause of system failure, accounting for up to 80% of all hydraulic component wear and breakdowns. Hydraulic filters are the first line of defence in maintaining fluid integrity, and knowing when to replace them is essential to protecting both system performance and longevity.

With over 30 years of technical excellence and a strong engineering heritage, Neilson Hydraulics—based in Sheffield—partners with global industry leaders to design, build and commission hydraulic systems that drive manufacturing efficiency.

Hydraulic systems are built for performance, but they’re also sensitive pieces of equipment. Contamination is one of the leading causes of hydraulic failure, and often it comes down to a small but mighty component: the hydraulic filter. At Neilson Hydraulics, we understand just how critical filtration is to system health. That’s why we supply high-quality filters from trusted names like Eaton and Hengst.

In industrial hydraulic systems, maintaining consistent pressure and managing energy efficiently are crucial for optimal performance. Hydraulic accumulators play a vital role in achieving these goals by storing energy and smoothing out pressure fluctuations. By acting as energy reservoirs, accumulators contribute to the overall reliability and efficiency of hydraulic systems across various applications.

Hydraulic power packs serve as the backbone of various hydraulic applications, providing the necessary power to drive hydraulic cylinders, motors, and other components. While standard hydraulic power packs can meet general requirements, many applications demand tailored solutions that optimize performance and efficiency. This is where custom-built hydraulic power packs come into play.

Proportional valves play a critical role in achieving this, enabling the smooth and controlled regulation of flow, pressure, and direction of hydraulic fluid. Unlike traditional on/off directional valves, proportional valves allow for variable control, making them indispensable in a wide range of applications where fine-tuned adjustments are required.

With over 30 years of expertise, our team brings a wealth of knowledge and innovative solutions to deliver custom hydraulic systems that enhance performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

Hydraulic cylinders play a vital role in hydraulic systems by providing the linear motion and force required for many industrial and mobile applications. Hydraulic cylinders convert hydraulic energy into mechanical movement from heavy construction machinery to manufacturing equipment.
