Neilson Hydraulics specialises in the design, build, manufacture, service, installation and commissioning of hydraulic systems. We manage the whole project from concept to completion and understand all aspects of the complete system build. Systems are designed, fabricated, assembled, built and tested by our competent staff in our workshop. We have vast expertise from producing highly complex and technical hydraulic systems to basic hydraulic systems to overhauling existing hydraulic systems. We regularly produce repeat and bespoke hydraulic systems for our customers.

At its core, a hydraulic filter is a device designed to remove contaminants from hydraulic fluid, ensuring that the fluid remains clean and free from debris. This is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of hydraulic systems. Hydraulic filters work by trapping contaminants such as dirt, metal particles, and other impurities as the fluid passes through the filter media.

The importance of safe hydraulic cylinder storage can sometimes be underestimated. Yet, it's a fundamental aspect of responsible equipment management that affects both operational efficiency and, more critically, the safety of your workforce. In this blog post, we highlight are top tips into the crucial art of hydraulic cylinder storage, exploring why it matters and how adopting best practices can ensure not only the longevity of these hydraulic workhorses but also the well-being of those who operate in their presence.

Contamination in hydraulic systems poses a significant threat to the reliability, performance, and lifespan of hydraulic equipment and accounts for 80% of system breakdowns primarily resulting from contamination. From microscopic particles to water and air, various contaminants can infiltrate hydraulic systems, leading to a range of issues such as component wear, fluid degradation, and system failures. In this comprehensive blog, we'll delve into the causes of contamination, its effects on hydraulic systems, preventive measures, and remediation techniques to ensure optimal system operation.

What is a Hydraulic Accumulator? A hydraulic accumulator is a device that stores pressurized fluid under the action of an external force. It consists of a pressure vessel, a piston, and a fluid inlet and outlet. When hydraulic fluid is pumped into the accumulator, it compresses the gas inside, storing potential energy that can be released when required.

Neilson Hydraulics specialises in designing and manufacturing an extensive range of Hydraulic Power Units. 

We have been designing, building, installing and commissioning hydraulic power units for over 30 years, covering a wide range of applications across a variety of sectors.

We manufacture custom-made hydraulic power units that can be built strictly per client specifications. We can provide you with a complete hydraulic solution from concept to completion. We can provide repeat hydraulic power units, as well as hydraulic power units for specialist projects.
