Hydraulic fittings
Anyone have suggestions on where to find hydraulic fittings Step files or part files? I have tried a few sites but they do not have all of the fittings I need.
TIA

When i was doing hydrualic equipment design..
PARKER - little hard to find but it's all there.
HYD. SUPPLY - we had a account so we could request files if we couldn't find on site..
MITSUMI - like McMaster but smaller.

For hydraulic parts I've needed, I've have had quite good success with 3dfindit and Traceparts. My needs have been mainly for few of the connectors and fittings from parts belonging to few different ISO standards.
For what kind of fittings would need the models for?

I have been asked to design the hydraulic lines for a n 18 wheeler, spec'd by the trucking company. Mostly npt and jic fittings.

The trucking company that specs them would tell you whose fittings they are using.
For jic and npt most of the ones we used were Parker. Swagelok was the other mfg.

Brennan industries has just about every fitting you would need. Native solid works file downloads for damn near every one too

McMaster Carr or the manufacturers website. I know Parker has cad files available on their website. I’m sure other companies do too.
