At R & L Hydraulics, we maintain a number of test stands to perform a full range of different tests. The testing stands range in size from the smallest (5 HP) to the largest, which is 250 HP, operating at pressure up to 7,000 PSI.
With the proper tools, we are able to test cylinders for leakage at various operating pressures. We can test hydraulic pumps and monitor speed, pressure, and flow while calculating efficiency.
Testing Facilities
Components are tested at simulated operating conditions for which they are designed. To check for quality control, an extensive checklist is observed and reported on including:
- Articulation
- Flows
- General operation
- Leakage of connections seals etc.
- Pressure
- Speed or RPM
- Temperature
- Valve Function
Test Stands
We use three custom test stands to diagnose mechanical issues through our data acquisition system.
Extra Large Pump Test Stand
- Specifically designed for FCS Pumps used in the steel forging industries 250 HP (horse power)
- 5,500 PSI (pounds per square inch)
- 2,000 gallon reservoir
- Variable speed control
- Temperature monitoring
- Comprehensive checklist for quality control

Large Pump Test Stand
- Ideal set up for quick diagnostics
- Versatile: the large test stand can test a wide variety of pumps
- Pressure control
- Variable speed control
- Monitors speed, temperature, pressure and flows
- 3,000 PSI

Additional Testing Equipment
Beyond our testing stands, R&L Hydraulics also populates our testing facility with portable power units and valve testers. We can load motors and determine torque. We are able to operate proportional and servo valves, monitoring their operation. All styles of conventional valves and cartridges can also be tested. We can even operate and test power units up to 400 HP (horsepower) that operate on 460 volt, 3 phase power.
Several Portable Power Units
Used for testing components: cylinders, hoses, motors, manifolds. Questionable power units are tested in a wide variety of working situations Units up to 7,000 PSI (pounds per square inch) Monitors speed, temperature, pressure and flows
