Advice for Small Pump Oil Changes
|
|
|
|
Changing oil in small pumps can be challenging due to the design of the pump housing. There is a cavity in the bottom of the housing that traps water and contaminants. We have started using a small handheld vacuum pump to completely remove the water and/or old oil from this cavity. This has resulted in much cleaner oil with each change-out. We get 10 additional ounces or more out of the pump using this method versus only opening the drain plug. (Eddie McCay, Sun Chemical Corp.)

Zinc-based hydraulic oils have historically performed well. If no underlying reason exists for utilizing a zinc-free oil, such as the metallurgy of a component or the environmental/operating factors, then there is a strong case to use zinc-based additives. The benefits typically outweigh the risks.

How to Optimize Maintenance
|
|
|
From "Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability: Theory and Applications, Second Edition":
Traditionally, maintenance practitioners in industry are expected to cope with maintenance problems without seeking to operate in an optimal manner. For example, many preventive maintenance schemes are put into operation with only a slight, if any, quantitative approach to the scheme. As a consequence, no one is very sure of just what the best frequency of inspection is or what should be inspected, and as a result, these schemes are cancelled because it is said that they cost too much.
