Intensifiers are used in applications where an existing low pressure hydraulic source is available. They amplify low pressure to a range better suited to workholding systems
Intensifiers use a reciprocating pumping mechanism to generate the high pressure flow so
their volume is not limited as with piston style intensifiers. This allows the intensifier to
compensate for any oil consumption on the high pressure side. The outlet pressure is directly
proportional to the inlet pressure. High pressure adjustment is achieved by varying the inlet
pressure.
Flow from the low pressure source is directed through the intensifier to the downstream circuit. As system pressure increases, the intensifier begins to cycle and intensifies the system pressure by the ratio specified.
Models without a dump valve do not allow reverse flow so directional control must take place
downstream in the high pressure circuit. Models with the dump valve allow directional control in the low pressure supply circuit. The optional directional valve manifold block has a standard Vickers C-10-4 cavity to accept a variety of manual and solenoid valves. Fitting No. 253288 can be used with part No. 100997.
