Continuous monitoring of the filter elements in a hydraulic system can provide valuable clues to the performance of the filter and the condition of the system. But before discussing this, let’s consider some of the advantages and disadvantages of common filter locations in a hydraulic system.
Pressure filtration
Locating filtering media in the pressure line provides maximum protection for components … Read more
I get all sorts of question from our members. And there’s a very valuable lesson contained in this one:
“We have some problems with a Parker-Denison hydrostatic transmission pump P24S 2R1C 9A2. Oil temperature rises from 20 to 50 Celsius within 15-20 minutes of only light operation (65 bar working pressure). The pump was sent to a local workshop for … Read more
Hydraulic oil leaks are often considered to be an inherent characteristic of hydraulic machines. While this may have been true 30 years ago, advances in sealing technology and the development of reliable connection systems means that today, leak-free hydraulic plumbing is readily achievable.
Reliable Connections
Leak-free reliability begins at the design stage, when the type of hydraulic fitting is selected … Read more
