Some time ago I recorded a simulation video which explains what happens when the piston-seal on a double-acting cylinder leaks, and it becomes a displacement cylinder.
After watching the video, Larry from Canada sent me this in response:
“I enjoyed your video about cylinder drift not being caused by oil leaking past the seals. But I have to ask the … Read more
My wife often asks me why I still do consulting work. She wonders why I happily leave the comfort of my office to crawl all over hot and dirty hydraulic machines.
Well for one, I actually enjoy it. Two, it keeps me sharp. But perhaps most importantly, it keeps me in touch with the issues that hydraulic equipment users grapple … Read more
This question from one of our members is relevant to all hydraulic machine owners and users:
“What is the most effective and efficient method to diagnose internal leakage on mobile construction equipment; e.g Backhoe or Skid Steer Loader — WITHOUT the aid of diagnostic tools, such as pressure gauges and flow meters.”
It’s not a bad question. But upon deeper … Read more
