Hydraulic systems are the lifeblood of many industrial and mobile machinery applications, and the quick couplings used in these systems are critical components. These couplings allow for the swift and efficient connection and disconnection of hydraulic lines without fluid leakage or system contamination. One of the key factors that influence the performance and longevity of hydraulic quick couplings is the material they are made from. In this guide, we’ll explore the various materials used in hydraulic quick couplings, including carbon steel with zinc or zinc-nickel plating, brass, stainless steel, and aluminum, to help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
