Hydraulic Components
Need Protection
Shelly has introduced most efficient fuel cleaning filter with an
accumulative efficiencies of up to 95%. Proper Filtration Protects
Hydraulic Systems Fluid systems must be maintained. As the
sophistication of hydraulic system and components has increased, so
has the importance of system maintenance - especially proper
filtration of the system fluid. Today, hydraulic systems run at higher
pressures and faster cycle times than ever before. This means closer
tolerances in control valves and between all moving parts, greater
system stress and increased sensitivity to contamination. Hydraulic
system efficiency and reliability depend on good filtration. Perhaps
the easiest and most cost effective way to lower maintenance expense
and help to ensure trouble-free system operation is through proper
filtration. Maintaining systems cleanliness to OE designed
requirements is the first step to insure equipment reliability and
efficiency of operation.
How Contamination Damages
Precision Parts
This cutaway view of a simple hydraulic
value illustrates how particles damage components. In normal
operation, the spool slides back and forth in the valve or the other.
If a particle loges between the spool and valve body, it will erode
small flakes from the metal surfaces. As these flakes are moved back
and forth by the action of the spool, they can roll into a burr that
jams the spool and disable the valve. |
