Hydraulic systems are indispensable in modern industry due to their performance, reliability,
and precision. Despite their widespread use, reducing the weight and improving the
efficiency of components remains a challenge, which is crucial in mobile applications where
weight is a critical factor. One of these key components is the hydraulic block, which directs
and regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid. In this thesis, we reviewed the market for hydraulic
valves, hydraulic accumulators, plugs, and fittings. We developed and refined several
concepts until we finally arrived at a functional hydraulic scheme. The scheme was then
simulated and its functionality confirmed. We designed a lightweight hydraulic control
block, ensured its production, and finally conducted measurements. The measurements
showed that the hydraulic block is functional and suitable for use.
