The Effects of High Heat On Hydraulic Oil.

Heat is an inevitable byproduct of hydraulic operation. When power is converted into force through any means, some of that energy is always lost as heat. You see this everywhere. From the smartphone in your pocket, to your refrigerator, which generates heat as a byproduct while keeping the interior cool. A hydraulic system also converts […]

The top 5 reasons for hydraulic fluid degradation

Hydraulic fluid is the lifeblood of your hydraulic system. This incompressible liquid does more than transmit force, it is also responsible for lubricating many moving mechanical parts. The friction-reducing properties of hydraulic fluid prevent components such as bearings, pistons, pump vanes from grinding, eroding and tearing themselves apart. However, hydraulic fluid is a wear item […]

Here’s why your hydraulic pump is getting hot.

Is your hydraulic pump getting excessively hot during normal operation? Pumps do generate heat when running, however they are designed with specific heat parameters in mind. Overheating is an abnormal condition that leads to destructive issues such as thinning of hydraulic fluid, which leads to reduced lubrication, metal-on-metal contact of moving parts. And accelerated pump […]
