Connecting Hydraulics
Hydraulic connections to the Series 247 Actuator are made through a manifold
that connects the ports of each end cap. The manifold has hydraulic pressure and
return ports stamped P and R, respectively. The drain port has a fixture installed
and it is located on the front end cap of the actuator. These ports are connected to
matching ports located on a hydraulic service manifold (HSM).
Note The size and shape of the manifold can be different. The manifold design
depends on the requirements of the test system.
Inferior quality hydraulic fluids can affect system performance.
Using fluids other than those specified by MTS can cause component or
system failure or both.
