Repair aviation hydraulic systems with ease
Aviation hydraulic systems must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure proper function and reduced downtime. Aircraft hydraulic components should be inspected and maintained regularly with experts who have a thorough comprehension of hydraulic systems and how they collaborate with complex aircraft engineering. The experts at Mid-America Aerotech utilize revolutionary technologies to allow aircraft maintenance professionals to repair existing hydraulic system components instead of replacing them altogether, thereby saving you time and money. Why replace aviation hydraulic system components when you can repair them? Unnecessarily replacing existing hydraulic parts will undoubtedly increase cost and downtime, slowing your technicians down and leaving you and your aircraft grounded.

How do aviation hydraulic systems work?
Aviation hydraulic systems rely on an enclosed system with pressurized hydraulic fluid to change the position of aircraft parts such as ailerons, cargo doors, wing flaps, or landing gear. Hydraulic systems rely on the principle of fluid mechanics in physics called Pascal’s Law which states that a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
When a pilot or engineer flips an electronic switch in the cockpit, this activates a pump in the hydraulic system which then applies pressure to an actuator consequently moving a component like an aileron or cargo door. By utilizing the natural laws of physics, what seems like a complex operation translates to a relatively simple process with the helping hand of a hydraulic system.
Aeronautical Hydraulic System Components
Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid is a specialized liquid used in hydraulic systems to transmit power and lubricate components, enabling smooth and efficient operation of hydraulic machinery.
Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders are mechanical devices that convert hydraulic energy into linear force and motion, playing a crucial role in various applications, from heavy machinery to aircraft control systems.
Hydraulic Motors
Hydraulic motors are devices that convert hydraulic pressure into rotational mechanical power, providing the driving force for numerous applications, such as conveyor belts, winches, and heavy equipment.
Hydraulic Pumps
Hydraulic pumps are essential components in hydraulic systems that generate fluid flow and pressure to drive hydraulic cylinders and motors, enabling the transfer of energy within the system.
Hydraulic Plumbing
Hydraulic plumbing refers to the network of pipes, hoses, and fittings that transport hydraulic fluid throughout a hydraulic system, ensuring the proper distribution of pressure and fluid to various components.
Hydraulic Reservoirs
Storage for hydraulic fluid. They are designed to accommodate the changing volume of hydraulic fluid due to temperature changes from normal engine functions
Hydraulic Accumulators
This pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, which then has multiple functions. It can maintain pressure, distribute pressure to where it's needed, and capture excess pressure.
Hydraulic Valves
Hydraulic valves are used to control the flow of hydraulic fluid such as shut off valves, pressure relief valves, and control valves.
