You may have heard of using brake cleaner, diesel fuel or some type of acid cleaning to flush your hydraulic systems, but the solvents used in these compounds can dry out or damage your system's O-rings. For these reasons, it's important to understand flushing properly. Let’s examine what should be done at the bare minimum to clean a hydraulic system.

While individual predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies can function properly alone, they only truly flourish when working in unison. Gaining an understanding of this maintenance strategy, along with which technologies are utilized and how they can function together to drive results, can often help identify and resolve equipment reliability issues.

Excessive heat is a severe contaminant. It wreaks havoc on oil (chemically and physically) and retards lubricant performance by increasing wear, corrosion and friction. Friction and wear cause more heat, which sends the machine into a cycle of despair.

Additives are selected based on their ability to perform certain roles alongside a base oil in an application. By nature, additives either enhance new properties, suppress undesirable properties or impart completely new properties to the base oil.

Lube Tip

|

Combined with a high operating temperature (above 140 deg. F), water reacts with and destroys zinc type antiwear additives. For example, zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) is a boundary lubricant that reduces wear in high-pressure pumps, gears and bearings. When this additive is depleted, abrasive wear accelerates rapidly. This will show up as premature component failures, resulting from metal fatigue and other wear mechanisms.
