The important role of plugs for hydraulic systems
In the world of technical components, there are elements that are as discreet as they are indispensable. This is the case, for example, with plugs for hydraulic systems: despite their small size, they play a key role in ensuring the proper functioning, safety, and durability of installations.
Whether it’s machinery, hydraulic systems, industrial tanks, plumbing installations, or boilers, oil plugs are used to seal and protect containers and circuits from contamination, leaks, or overpressures. Additionally, if equipped with a breather, they have the crucial function of maintaining internal pressure within controlled values, helping to prevent damage or failures in the systems.
Therefore, hydraulic plugs are not just simple closures, but true technical devices, designed to adapt to very diverse conditions and the specific needs of each installation. Specifically, they allow for:
- Protecting against external agents like dust, moisture, or debris;
- Preventing oil and fluid losses;
- Regulating the internal pressure of the circuit (in the version with a breather);
- Improving the overall safety of the system.
Thermoplastic and polycarbonate hydraulic plugs
To offer the best solution according to the specific application, Gamm proposes:
- Thermoplastic Hydraulic Plugs
Made of polymer reinforced with fiberglass, they offer excellent mechanical and thermal resistance, being lightweight, economical, and suitable for a wide range of uses. The matte sandblasted finish (MAT) also ensures a good aesthetic level and a secure grip during tightening and loosening.
- Polycarbonate Hydraulic Plugs
Transparency is their greatest advantage: they allow immediate visual control of the liquid level inside the tank. Furthermore, they have superior chemical and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for aggressive environments or installations where constant fluid condition monitoring is essential.
Each installation has its own specific needs, and we at Gamm know this well. Our oil plugs are available in various sizes and standard threads, such as M6 and M8, for immediate delivery. This enables our clients to reduce supply times and ensure continuous production in their installations.
And that’s not all. Our hydraulic plugs can also be customized in color: versions in different shades from the standard ones can be requested to better integrate with the machinery design or brand’s visual identity.
