How Fluid Contamination Causes Mechanical Failure

When contaminants enter hydraulic fluid, they can cause the system to work against itself. The same pressure and force that generate a hydraulic system’s power may cause even tiny particles to damage interior surfaces through abrasion, erosion and fatigue. This damage can cascade and create additional harmful particles. In the worst-case scenario, the result is…

How to Prevent Fluid Contamination Before It’s Too Late

Foreign particles and other substances can damage and even destroy a hydraulic system if they are allowed to contaminate the hydraulic fluid. Dirt and other particles can damage metal surfaces inside the system, causing them to weaken and fail. Water can corrode surfaces, reduce fluid viscosity and damage pumps. By the time these problems become…

Fluid Cleanliness

Clean fluids are critical in the effectiveness and operation of hydraulic systems. If the oil is left unfiltered over time, it can become saturated with foreign particles that can destroy the components in a hydraulic system. This dirty fluid can erode the systems machined components and damage the bearing surfaces. An oil filter helps remove contaminants…
