China Hydraulic System Professional Manufacturer

Hydraulic equipment is a combination of mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and other devices, so the faults that occur are also diverse. A certain failure phenomenon may be caused by many factors. If carefully monitored, many reasons can be avoided. Today we will analyze what are the most common causes of hydraulic system failure.

1) Fluid pollution:
　　 One of the main reasons for the failure of the hydraulic system is due to fluid contamination. Regardless of the type of fluid used, if it is contaminated with dust, dirt or moisture, it will reduce the pump's ability to control the pressure of the system. In turn, this can cause the system to overheat or accumulate, which can cause parts to jam and malfunction.
　　Before use, please make sure that the different components and fluids are clean and suitable for the purpose of use to prevent malfunction.
2) Poor or irregular maintenance:
　　Service is essential to keep the system running smoothly. It is important to ensure that the oil and filters of the system are replaced appropriately. Poor or irregular maintenance may cause the system to be contaminated, thereby increasing the wear and tear of the pump and related equipment.
　　 The suction hose between the fuel tank and the pump also needs to be kept in good condition. If there are signs of wear, it should be replaced.
　　 It is good practice to check the hydraulic unit regularly, check the oil level, clean up spills and report any defects immediately.
3) Abuse and human error:
　　 Anyone who uses hydraulic system operating applications must be properly instructed and trained. Wrong installation, use of incompatible parts or improper use are the main factors that may cause failure.
4) Environmental and management factors:
　　 Temperature and working conditions will affect the system.
　　The power unit needs to be installed in a well-ventilated place to protect the oil cooler from dust and pollutants.
Does hydraulic equipment operate at high temperatures? If this is the case, you need to pay close attention to the type of fluid used in all applications, and you need to install special seals. Always avoid the use of mineral oils in high temperature applications. These mineral oils are refined from crude oil and have a flash point, which means they will burn at a certain temperature.
　　If the hydraulic equipment is operating in a cold environment, it may be necessary to install a tank heater to maintain the fluid viscosity. Hydraulic oil that is too thick or too thin will damage the system.
　　 Aggressive working conditions may also put the system under pressure, making it prone to failure. External shock and vibration can cause surge and cavitation between the water tank and the pump inlet. This can be avoided by correctly installing the power unit on a special anti-vibration unit.
　　The hydraulic oil tank also needs to be installed higher than the pump and kept as close as possible.

　　 Regardless of the application, hydraulic systems are inevitable at certain times. However, if you ensure that all maintenance procedures are performed regularly and that the appropriate components are installed or replaced correctly, you can avoid problems. If you are not sure about anything, don't be afraid to ask your industry colleagues or hydraulic professionals for help and advice.
