What does a Hydraulic Feed Control Unit do?
A Hydraulic Feed Control Unit works as a precision motion regulator. When a pneumatic cylinder tends to move too rapidly or inconsistently, this unit absorbs and controls the motion through hydraulic damping.
- Smooth and stable linear movement
- Reduced impact loads and jerks
- Predictable & repeatable operation for automation tasks
In manufacturing environments where accuracy is a must, these units help maintain consistency and protect the machinery.
Industrial applications of Mercury Hydraulic Feed Control Units
Mercury’s feed control units are used across various sectors where controlled and uniform pneumatic movement is essential. They help maintain the correct feed rate, minimize shock loads, and improve overall operational efficiency.
- Drilling & tapping machines
- Broaching machines
- Circular saw machines
- Bearing and bush pressing setups
- Assembly & production lines
- Packaging and material-handling machines
From metal processing to mass-production lines, these units ensure smooth motion control throughout the automation process.
