If you’re starting a hydraulic system design project, one of the most important factors you’re probably thinking about is the upfront cost to design and manufacture the system....

Building a hydraulic system is expensive and time-consuming. In addition, your hydraulic system will play a vital role in your operation and the way in which it performs may have...

Is your hydraulic pump getting excessively hot during normal operation? Pumps do generate heat when running, however they are designed with specific heat parameters in mind....

Is your hydraulic pump unable to develop pressure? There are a number of issues that could cause this condition. The best practice is to eliminate the most obvious causes so...

Excessive or erratic hydraulic pump noise is a symptom of malfunction that could cause damage or accelerated wear if not addressed quickly and correctly. While it’s never nice...

When air is mixed with the hydraulic oil in your cylinders it can create the conditions for an extreme phenomenon known as “hydraulic dieseling”. This happens when bubbles of air...

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. It is commonly thought of as thickness, or resistance to pouring. Choosing a hydraulic fluid with the right viscosity is...

All hydraulic systems feature high precision components, which are vulnerable to very small amounts of contamination. Even microscopic metallic particles that make their way...

Hydraulic fluid aeration refers to the presence of air in a hydraulic system in any form including the formation of large bubbles, dissolved air or foam. Regardless of the form,...

Hydraulic fluid contamination is the number one cause of hydraulic system failure and as such it’s a serious concern for maintenance managers everywhere. Hydraulic systems can...

Hydraulic hoses are an often-overlooked part of hydraulic maintenance, but they are critical to the efficient and safe operation of your machine. If hydraulic fluid is the...

If you deal with hydraulic systems long enough, you may hear the term “open-loop” and “closed-loop” from time to time. These terms refer to two types of hydraulic circuits in...

Whether you’re ordering a custom-designed hydraulic cylinder or repairing a worn one, you may be confronted by a range of mysterious, technical-sounding words. This is a...
