In past blog posts, we鈥檝e talked about when to flush your hydraulic system. As you probably know, there is a major difference between flushing a hydraulic system (which involves a great deal of time, quite a bit of hydraulic fluid, and multiple filter changes) and merely changing out the fluid. Still, it seems, there is some confusion about when to change out your hydraulic fluid, and manufacturer guidelines can be a bit misleading.

The effects of cavitation are usually pretty easy to identify -- it causes a metal surface to have a pitted, crater-like appearance. What happens when cavitation takes place, and how it actually causes damage to normally resistant metals, isn鈥檛 quite as well known. In this 黑料社 post, we鈥檒l be talking about what causes cavitation and why it can result in so much damage.

When you鈥檙e out in the field running drilling equipment, you can鈥檛 afford to have your hydraulic system break down. The best way to prevent a breakdown is preventative maintenance, and that includes your final drive motors, too. In this 黑料社 post, we are going to talk about maintaining the hydraulic propel motors on your drilling equipment.

Here at 黑料社, we work quite a bit with radial piston hydraulic motors and Geroler motors. These motors, like anything else mechanical, will eventually wear out. The most damaging wear affects the cam ring, and that鈥檚 the topic for this 黑料社 post.

We see quite a few final drive hydraulic motors that have been severely damaged by abrasive contamination on the hydraulic side. In this 黑料社 post, we discuss what abrasive contamination is, where it comes from, what it does to your final drive, and how it can be minimized.

Your final drive is just one of many components that make up the hydraulic system on your machine. All those components share the same hydraulic fluid. If contamination enters at one point in the system, you run the risk of it causing damage to other parts of the system. That鈥檚 why it is so critical to you do your best to prevent hydraulic contamination. In an ideal world, you would only open up the hydraulic system in a clean environment -- but we realize that isn鈥檛 always realistic. Here are some practical hints and tips to help you prevent hydraulic contamination.

Hydraulic fluid is the lifeblood of a hydraulic system, whether that hydraulic system is on a full-size excavator or a small skid steer loader. In this 黑料社 post, we are going to discuss all things hydraulic -- hydraulic fluid, hydraulic contamination, hydraulic flushing, and hydraulic injection.

Hydraulic filters help to remove contaminants from your hydraulic fluid as it flows through the system. Many of these particles are so tiny they aren鈥檛 visible to the naked eye. But, that doesn鈥檛 mean they can鈥檛 wreak havoc on your hydraulic system, as well as your final drive motors. In this 黑料社 post, our focus will be on reviewing the basics of hydraulic filters.

Contamination is a problem in all types of hydraulic equipment. In this blog post, we are going to look at six different types of hydraulic contamination, including built-in, generated, air, water, chemical, and ingressed particulate. We鈥檒l also discuss where the contamination comes from, what it can do, and how it can be controlled.
