Compensator 101

Compensator 101

What are rubber compensators?

Rubber compensators, also known as elastic expansion joints, protect piping by absorbing movement in axial and radial directions. They also compensate for slight offsets and misalignment caused by natural settling or installation imperfections. Their flexible design preserves seal integrity, prevents component damage, and reduces the risk of leaks at connection points—ultimately improving system efficiency and extending service life.

How are compensators used?

Rubber compensators are installed between the reservoir and pump. They are typically used in high-vibration systems to prevent vibration transfer to the rest of the components and system. They are also useful in high-maintenance applications where frequent pump removals can cause misalignment between the pipes.

Compensator Benefits

Absorbs vibration, as well as axial and radial stress
Allows compression and elongation of pipes
Accommodates minor misalignment
Easily integrates with standard connections (SAE and DIN flanges)
Smooth, hydrodynamic design eliminates cavitation
Integrated vulcanized seals mean no additional sealing required
Built with reinforced high-strength NBR for a long service life

Compensator 101

How to Choose

How to Choose a Compensator

Before selecting a compensator, ensure your system is compatible with the maximum operating pressure rating of up to 116 psi (8 bar) and no more vacuum than 10.2 psi (0.7 bar).

1. Select the correct size/nominal diameter

The compensator size corresponds to the pipe’s internal diameter. Hytorc offers diameters ranging from 1 to 4 inches (25 to 100 mm). For example, if the measured diameter is 1 inch, a 1-inch (25 mm) compensator would be the appropriate choice.

2. Choose required end connections

Compensators are designed for seamless integration into systems by using industry-standard flanges, such as SAE and DIN connections. The most popular mounting option is flanged threads, available in both aluminum and steel. Additionally, compensators can be equipped with threaded connections, made from steel.

3. Consider fluid compatability

Ensure correct fluid compatibility to prevent degradation. Hydraulic compensators typically use NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) for the internal surface material.

Common acceptable fluids include:

• Water-glycol
• Water-soluble oil
• Kerosene
• Jet fuel
• Diesel fuel
• Gasoline
• Petroleum-based fluids

We offer a wide range of acceptable mediums. For questions on fluid compatibility, message us at us@icfluid.com.

Product Guide

Compensator 101

Applications and Solutions

Compensators are essential in high-vibration systems and hard piping across industries like oil and gas, mining, marine, industrial manufacturing, construction, and transportation.

Construction and Mobile Equipment (Cranes, Trenchers, Drill Rigs)

All hydraulic systems, especially those in mobile applications, are subject to various movements and stress. Vibrations arise from regular operation of pumps and motors, while vibration from pressure and flow fluctuations can form due to varying changes of the load.

Mobile equipment, such as trench cutters, drill rigs, and cranes operate in rough terrains where the system itself faces constant jostling as it moves about its environment. This is why systems must employ some form of dampening component to protect the system.

Check Valve 101

Check Valve 101

What are check valves?

Check valves are a type of shutoff valve that block oil flow in one direction and allow it to flow freely in the other.

How are check valves used?

Check valves are essential for protecting pumps, actuators, and other components by ensuring pressurized fluid flows only in the intended direction. Ball check valves use a sphere that moves in response to fluid pressure. When fluid moves forward, the ball is pushed away from the valve seat, allowing flow. If flow reverses, the ball returns to the seat, sealing the valve and preventing backflow. This mechanism helps maintain system pressure, prevent contamination, and ensure efficient operation in almost every application.

Check Valve Benefits

Saves space with a specially treated half-ball seat

Manufactured with a high-tensile hardened and polished ball, allowing for a better fit in the seat, more uniform flow over the ball, and overall longer service life

Superior sealing surface with a machine radius matching the contour of the ball, meaning reduced contamination through a larger sealing surface that improves over time

Capable of 10,000 psi (700 bar) for high-pressure applications

Product Guide

How to Choose

How to Choose a Check Valve

Verify that the selected valve is rated for your system’s pressure. Hytorc can accommodate up to 10,000 psi (700 bar).

1. Determine required flow rate

The flow capacity determines the nominal size of a valve. Selecting the right size ensures optimal performance and avoids issues like inefficiency or equipment damage.

For example: If your application requires a flow rate of 5 GPM, your selected valve would utilize a G ¼ or M14 x 1.5 thread.

Max Flow Rate (GPM)	Max Flow Rate (LPM)	Thread (BSP)	Thread (Metric)	Model Options
0.5–0.8	2–3	N/A	M6	RVA2, RVB2
1.1–1.6	4–6	N/A	M8X1	RVA3, RVB3
2.1–2.6	8–10	G1/8	M10X1	RVA4, RVB4, RVE4, RVF4, RVG4
4.7–6.6	18–25	G1/4	M14X1.5	RVA6, RVB6, RVE6, RVF6, RVG6
9.2–11.9	30–45	G3/8	M18X1.5	RVA8, RVB8, RVE8, RVF8, RVG8
15.9–18.5	60–70	G1/2	M22X1.5	RVA10, RVB10, RVE10, RVF10, RVG10

Product Guide

Butterfly Valves 101

Butterfly Valve 101

What is a butterfly valve?

Butterfly valves, also known as shut off valves, are 90°, quarter-turn valves used for regulating flow. When installed at a tank outlet, flow can be shut off without draining the reservoir.

Butterfly valves vs ball valves

In mobile applications where ball valves struggle to fit within design constraints, butterfly valves serve as an effective solution. Shut off valves offer a shorter and lighter profile. As the pipe size and nominal diameter increase, the space and weight advantages of butterfly valves become even more pronounced.

For a 1.25” pipe, butterfly valves are 63% shorter and 50% lighter than a ball valve.

	Butterly Valve	Ball Valve
Length	1.4 in (35 mm)	3.7 in (95 mm)
Weight	1.1 lbs (0.5 kg)	2.2 lbs (1 kg)

On a 4″ pipe, those benefits scale dramatically, with butterfly valves measuring nearly 77% shorter and 71% lighter.

	Butterly Valve	Ball Valve
Length	1.7 in (42 mm)	7.4 in (190 mm)
Weight	3.4 lbs (1.57 kg)	12.3 lbs (5.56 kg)

How does a butterfly work?

Hydraulic shut off valves are composed of a disk, stem, and body for precise flow control. The disk is the flow control element that pivots on the stem housed within the valve body. In the open position, it aligns with the flow direction to minimize resistance. When closed, it seals against the valve seat to prevent flow. A locking mechanism ensures the valve remains in the desired position during operation. Optional limit switches enable remote position monitoring for automating system diagnostics and control.

Butterfly Valve Benefits

Provides rapid shutoff in case of an emergency

28% more flow compared to a ball valve of the same size

Saves time on maintenance by not needing to drain the reservoir

Aluminum body creates weight savings and corrosion resistance

Minimum stem design maximizes flow and reduces cavitation

Available with a limit switch for remote monitoring and automation

Product Guide

Butterfly Valves 101

How to Choose

How to Choose a Butterfly Valve

Butterfly valves are designed for low-pressure suction lines, that handle up to 230 psi (15 bar). Choosing the right model depends on critical factors such as the valve size, mounting style, and position control.

1. Select the correct size/nominal width

Start by measuring the pipe’s internal diameter to select the appropriate valve size. Hytorc shut off valves range from 1.25 to 5 inches (32 to 125 mm), ensuring compatibility with various systems.

2. Determine mounting style

Butterfly valves can be mounted directly onto the hydraulic reservoir with a welded flange, conforming to the typical SAE J518 standard.

While not required, it is recommended to install butterfly valves with a compensator for added protection and alignment. This is achieved by incorporating bushings into the valve assembly. The bushings let you mount the shut-off valve to an SAE connection. They screw into the SAE flange, adapting its thread size to match the fixing screws.

Alternatively, if the reservoir flange is already tapped correctly, bushings aren’t required.

3. Consider a limit switch

A limit switch prevents the hydraulic pump from activating when the valve is closed. If connected to PLC controls, this feature protects equipment by preventing the pump from running dry.

All Hytorc valves are preinstalled with a cam, allowing a limit switch to be equipped at any time with just two screws.

Product Guide

Butterfly Valves 101

Applications and Solutions

Hydraulic butterfly valves are commonly used on low-pressure suction lines across many industries, including naval, automotive, forestry, construction, wind energy, and aerospace.

Forestry and Recycling (Horizontal grinders)

Horizontal grinders play a critical role in forestry and environmental recycling, handling everything from land clearing and mulch production to biomass processing and construction debris. In these applications, hydraulic systems must be equipped with fail-safe mechanisms to prevent fluid loss. As one functional benefit, butterfly valves serve as emergency shutoff devices, minimizing the risk of oil spills when hoses or other hydraulic components fail.

By automatically sealing off flow, these valves help protect both equipment and the surrounding environment due to reduced oil volumes being leaked. This is especially vital given the diverse operating environments of horizontal grinders, which often include sensitive ecosystems and waterways. Just one gallon of oil can contaminate a million gallons of water—consider that against a 70-gallon hydraulic tank, and the stakes become clear.

What are Domin Valves?

Comparing Leading Valve Designs

Two-Stage Servo Valves

Two-stage servo valves, or mechanical feedback valves, are valued for their compact size and excellent dynamic performance, including fast response times and high-frequency capabilities. However, they come with limitations. The small orifices and high-pressure seals that help maintain performance can also make them more susceptible to contamination and blockages, especially if operated in harsh environments. Additionally, because they lack onboard electronics, they do not deliver the same level of repeatability and accuracy as modern direct drive valves.

Direct Drive Valves

Direct drive valves utilize an electrical feedback design. Contamination and hysteresis occur less frequently with direct drive valves making them more durable for demanding industrial applications. However, this comes with trade-offs in performance and size. Direct drive valves are generally heavier and bulkier in design, with slower step and frequency responses compared to two-step valves. This makes them less suitable for high-performance applications where dynamic response is critical.

Domin Valves

A Domin valve is a considered a servo proportional valve, a hybrid between two-stage servo valves and direct drive valves. Domin merges the benefits, such as the performance, efficiency, precision, and compact size from both without needing to compromise. Domin’s S6 Pro, for instance, offers an unmatched balance of performance and efficiency, boasting a 78% lighter design, a 67% faster response, 340% higher bandwidth, and 73% higher maximum flow compared to an equivalent direct drive valve.

Valve Actuators

Valve actuators mount on valves and move valves to a desired position by utilizing liquid, electric or some other power source. Selecting the correct valve actuator will increase performance, uptime, reliability, and safety while reducing maintenance costs. Although the most common and important use of an valve actuator is to open and close valves, current actuator designs go far beyond the basic open and close function. The valve actuator can be packaged together with position sensing equipment, torque sensing, motor protection, logic control and digital communication capacity all in a compact, protected enclosure. Applications include: power plants, oil and gas, industrial, ships and chemical industries. Below is a listing of valve actuators available from IC-Fluid Power.

What are Pressure Intensifiers?

Reciprocating or single-stroke cylinder intensifiers are used to increase the pressure output of an existing low-pressure system, giving a boost of pressure when and where it’s needed, yielding greater pressure.

How are Pressure Intensifiers Used?

Pressure intensifiers are powered by a pump, which is operating at a set pressure. The hydraulic intensifier consistently delivers flow until the output pressure has been reached. The flow from the pump enters the intensifier, where two pistons of different sizes (respective to the intensification ratio) pump the fluid, thereby intensifying it. In the process, waste flow is returned to the tank.

Pressure Intensifier Benefits

Boost pressure from existing equipment

Avoid costly investments in machinery, such as an HPU or pump

Save space due to the intensifier’s simple, compact design

Use with standard industry pipe clamp

Choose from a large range of mounting options (in-line, flange-on, CETOP, etc.)

Increase energy savings and reduce carbon footprint

Application Examples and Solutions

A hydraulic pressure intensifier can be used for many applications. These include rupture tests on hoses, pipes, and containers; hydroforming; bolt tensioning; presses; and proportioning precisely defined volumes. It is also useful for demolition tools, such as stone crushing tools and hydraulic construction tools. Additionally, it can be employed in hydraulic power packs and workholding cylinders.

Mobile Applications

In mobile applications, such as cranes, pressure intensifiers increase the pressure in the cylinders during retraction and ensure sufficient pressure within the stabilizer. The outlet pressures for this application include 3625 psi/250bar – 4350 psi/300 bar.

Pressure Testing

Pressure intensifiers can be used to provide test pressures for hydraulic components at 7250 psi/500 bar – 11,600 psi/800 bar, and for tubes and hoses for diesel engines (2,000+ bar). Pressure can be boosted from existing HPUs to negate having to buy an additional test pump.

Hydraulic Tools

Power hydraulic tools with a pressure intensifier connected to an existing power source. Intensifiers can boost pump pressure from as low as 1,450 psi/100 bar to an operational range of 4,350 psi/300 bar – 11,600 psi/800 bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, pressure intensifiers are solely designed to intensify pressure.

Pressure intensifiers sacrifice flow for increased pressure and should not be used when needing simultaneously high flow and high-pressure outputs

Yes.

You can use water glycol with an intensifier, but the glycol concentration must be greater than 5%. For anything under 5%, a stainless-steel intensifier is required. Pressure intensifiers can be used with other fluids requiring special sealing. There are multiple sealing options, such as EPDM, Viton, etc. that can be selected for fluid compatibility.

Intensifiers are characterized by the desired pressure, inlet flow, and mounting style.

Selection is based on the maximum low pressure they can handle, along with any additional features specified by the application requirements. Follow our easy flow chart to see which intensifier you need. Help me choose an intensifier.

10 µm or better filtration.

Intensifiers have incredibly tight tolerances that they rely on for proper operation.

Yes.

Pressure intensifiers are available in stainless steel. Contact us to learn more.

No.

An intensifier is intended for applications that require pressure but not flow. If one is used in a pumping application, output flow will likely be unsatisfactory, and the intensifier will have a significantly reduced service life.

No.

An intensifier is an intensifiers and it is not a load-holding device. Despite containing built-in check valves, these are used for internal functions and are not designed to hold loads. If load-holding is required for your application, a separate load-holding device is needed.

Yes.

If the T-port is not connected, the intensifier will not function. The piston inside of the intensifier will not oscillate.

No.

Pressure intensifiers only work with fluids.

No.

Pressure intensifiers are not designed to hold loads despite having integrated check valves. If load-holding capabilities are needed, then appropriate valves such as load-holding valves should be used after the intensifier.

Yes.

However, a bypass circuit must be used so that the higher flows do not damage the intensifier. Click here for a diagram of a high pressure application. Click here for an example.

Yes.
