Hydraulic Equipment Repairs Johannesburg South Africa

The maintenance of hydraulic equipment is crucial to its level of performance and there a number of things which need to be maintained in order to prevent repeated repairs to the equipment.

Cleanliness of hydraulic fluid

Cleanliness and temperature requirements for optimal functioning may require loop flushing. This is of particular value in closed circuit systems. Loop flushing needs to implemented in a manner that does not negatively affect the functioning of the equipment.

Operating temperature

Hydraulic fluid loses viscosity as its temperature rises and this will impact the performance of the equipment. Different fluids in different applications are capable of maintaining the required pressure for as long as the temperature does not exceed a given limit. Ensuring temperature regulation is a chief requirement of keeping equipment in good repair.

Operating pressure

Operating pressure is determined by the requirements of the application. Optimal operating pressure is not variable however it is affected by factors such as the aforementioned cleanliness and temperature of the hydraulic fluid. Furthermore the operator is responsible for the efficacy of the equipment through the various controls and meters that are put at his disposal.
