Offline filtration ensures clean-running, efficient machines

April 18, 2016 By Mary Gannon

shutterstock_318439151-fluid

Without a doubt, clean hydraulic fluid is the ultimate lifeblood of a hydraulic system. Contamination can reduce efficiency and possibly destroy machinery. That’s why many companies invest in offline filtration systems, commonly referred to as filter carts or kidney loop systems, for the external filtration of hydraulic fluids. Although traditionally used only when filtration was […]

Bauma and sustainability

April 13, 2016 By Ken Korane

Ghizzoni excavator

While hydraulic and machine performance and value are front and center at Bauma, sustainability is a key theme as well. Since 1991 productivity in the construction machinery sector has been flat in terms of output per hour, signifying the need for more automation, labor saving and worker safety. That’s according to Juergen Weber, head of […]

A simple path to higher efficiency

February 18, 2016 By Michelle DiFrangia

Ken Korane • Contributing Editor Everyone is for energy efficiency—as long as it doesn’t cost too much. Replace an incandescent light with a new LED bulb? Check. Find out an LED costs five times that of the old one? Maybe not so fast. It’s no different with fluid-power systems. Engineers on a mission to improve […]

What is viscosity index?

February 2, 2016 By Ken Korane

Viscosity index test

Viscosity index is a dimensionless number that represents how the viscosity of a hydraulic fluid changes with temperature. (It also applies to fluids like engine and automatic transmission oils, gear lubricants, and power-steering fluids.) The greater the viscosity index (VI), the smaller the change in fluid viscosity for a given change in temperature, and vice […]

Why is viscosity important in hydraulic fluids?

January 29, 2016 By Ken Korane

Hydraulic fluids viscosity th

Viscosity, according to Webster’s Dictionary, is the property of fluids and semi-fluids that defines its internal resistance to flow and shear. Or, in more simple terms, how thick or thin a fluid is. For example, water is less viscous than tar. (Fluids that have no resistance to shear stress are known as ideal fluids or […]

How hydraulic fluids affect energy efficiency

January 19, 2016 By Ken Korane

Evonik-oil-additives-improve-energy-efficiencyweb

The fluid is a key part of any hydraulic system. It transmits power, lubricates components, transfers heat, acts as a sealing agent, and helps minimize the harmful effects of contamination like dirt and water. And hydraulic fluid has become increasingly important when it comes to overall system efficiency. That’s because OEMs and equipment users are […]
