Tim's Top Tips:
Improper installation or abuse is a major cause of hydraulic seal failure within rams/cylinders. The important things to watch are: (a) cleanliness, (b) protecting the seal from nicks and cuts, and (c) proper lubrication. The solution to these problems is common sense and taking reasonable care with your hydraulic system.
Hydraulic system contamination is a another major factor in hydraulic seal failure. It is usually caused by external elements such as dirt, grit, mud, dust, ice and internal contamination from circulating metal chips, break-down products of fluid, hoses or other degradable system components. As most external contamination enters the system during rod retraction, the proper installation of a rod wiper/scraper is the best solution. Internal contamination can be prevented by proper filtering of system fluid. Contamination is indicated by scored rod and cylinder bore surfaces, excessive seal wear and leakage - and sometimes tiny pieces of metal imbedded in the seal.
When hydraulic oil needs to be added to the reservoir, ideally. the drum pump is coupled to the return line and the oil is pumped into the reservoir through the return filter. As well as filtering the oil, spills are avoided and the ingress of external contamination is prevented
Not all hydraulic cylinders are made equal. So if you have hydraulic cylinders that suffer recurring failure, it's likely that modifications to the cylinder are required to break the vicious circle of failure and repair
The vast number of hydraulic applications demand numerous sizes and construction of hose to satisfy the many individual demands and working requirements. SUTTON Hydraulics offers a wide variety of hose sizes and fitting configurations to meet every demand from our extensive stocks ranging from steel braided to plastic and low-pressures to high pressure specialist reinforced hoses.
We are sure you know when it comes to hydraulic oil: 'cleanliness is next to Godliness'. But particle contamination also affect oil life. Certain wear metals act as catalysts which increase the rate of oxidation and hydrolysis. Particles can also attach themselves to additives in the oil, resulting in additive depletion when these particles are captured in the hydraulic system's filters. So to wring the most out of every drop of your hydraulic oil, keep it in; keep it cool; keep it dry and keep it clean. And ONLY change it when base oil degradation or additive depletion demands it be changed.
