Hydraulic Fluid Overheating: Causes and Remedies
Blog | December 10th, 2018A system malfunction is taking shape, and a hydraulic fluid overheating problem is causing major headaches. If the equipment owner is to avoid popping a painkiller, he needs to know what’s behind the heat generating riddle. On identifying the thermal energy source, only then can a remedy be implemented. Let’s start with a quick fluid […]
High Speed and Low Speed Parker Gerotor Motors: What are the Differences?
Blog | November 22nd, 2018When Low-Speed Parker Geroter Motors run, they deliver massive quantities of torque. It’s this architecture that expedites traction-intensive fluid equipment applications. Tractors, construction equipment, forestry tools, they all benefit from LSHT (Low-Speed High Torque) hydraulic motor configurations. Interestingly, compared to their high-speed cousins, slow rotating gerotors are functionally different from their opposite numbers. Beginning with […]
Hydraulic Pressure Intensifiers: How Can They Help Improve Your System Design?
Blog | October 16th, 2018Hydraulic pressure intensifiers are built to deliver great quantities of pressure through a smaller than average package. Proven to take lower input energies and convert those fluid energies to higher output pressures, the device doesn’t need to break any laws of fluid thermodynamics when it performs this impressive feat. In reality, an intensifier (also known […]
Fairey Arlon (Parker) Hydraulic Replacement Filters: Purposes and Functions
Blog | September 14th, 2018In-hand, a Fairey Arlon replacement filter feels hefty and solid. The component is cylindrical, filled with microglass, a media that functions well in hydraulic applications, and ready for duty. Slipping out of hand, it’s soon fitted as a hydraulic replacement filter, one that replaces the aging in-line fluid sieving device that’s clogging an essential piece […]
Filtration and Conditioning Hydraulic Systems: Do’s and Don’ts
Blog | August 17th, 2018Tight dimensional tolerances exist between moving hydraulic components. There’s just not much clearance between the precision-manufactured parts as they slide past one another. Because of this tight-knit build, even a slight filtration problem is going to cause trouble. Equipment conditioning fails next, with heat reducing the system’s formerly efficient fluid workings. Avoiding these pitfalls, we’re […]
