Hydraulic System: Important Considerations

Manual Extract:

Contamination within the hydraulic system is a significant factor that can lead to malfunctioning of hydraulic components. Contaminants are foreign materials in the hydraulic oil and they can infiltrate the system through several means:

• When draining the oil or disconnecting any line.
• During the disassembly of a component.
• As a result of normal wear and tear of the hydraulic components.
• Through damaged or worn seals.
• From a damaged component within the hydraulic system.

System Design and Contamination

All hydraulic systems deal with some level of contamination. The components’ design allows for efficient operation despite minimal contamination levels. However, an increase in contamination can lead to significant issues, hence regular maintenance and inspection are recommended to ensure system integrity and functionality.
