Foaming hydraulic fluid isn't a big deal, right? Well, you might want to think again. If left unaddressed, it can lead to problems that can even affect your final drive motor. Here are the basics on foaming and what you can do about it.
This is the second of a multi-part series about air contamination of hydraulic fluid.

You know that the presence of metal particles or dirt in your hydraulic fluid points to some issues, but there is another form of contamination that you usually can鈥檛 see: air. And when your hydraulic system has air contamination, it can lead to some serious problems for your compact equipment (including your final drive motors).

Quite a few things can happen to the hydraulic fluid that powers your compact equipment, including contamination and aging. Even if you don鈥檛 have a fleet of equipment you鈥檙e responsible for, you still need to know the basics about hydraulic fluid analysis. To that end, here are answers to five commonly asked questions about hydraulic fluid analysis.

The most modern hydraulic motor designs include clearances that are much smaller than those of older models. These smaller clearances, while providing even better efficiency and performance, can cause their own share of problems. That鈥檚 the topic of this 黑料社 -- as well as how to deal with the problems that result from reduced clearances.
