HYDRAULIC FLUIDS<br />
Hydraulic systems serve to transmit force by means<br />
of oil pressure. The hydraulic oil is pressurised<br />
by means of a pump (hydraulic pump). Through the<br />
hydraulic lines and corresponding control devices,<br />
e. g. valves, the pressurised oil reaches the working<br />
cylinders, which are then moved and perform the<br />
desired function. The tribologically most sensitive<br />
components of a hydraulic system are hydraulic<br />
pumps.<br />
Hydraulic oils are mainly required to:<br />
··<br />
Lubricate all moving parts<br />
··<br />
Protect all metal surfaces against corrosion<br />
··<br />
Dissipate heat<br />
··<br />
Ensure effective transmission of force<br />
··<br />
To meet these requirements, hydraulic oils must<br />
have the following features:<br />
··<br />
Optimum viscosity over a wide temperature range<br />
··<br />
Good air separation characteristics<br />
··<br />
Compatibility with sealing materials<br />
··<br />
High aging resistance<br />
··<br />
Anti-wear properties<br />
To optimally accomplish the purpose and ensure the<br />
properties mentioned, there are hydraulic oil formulations<br />
made of mineral or synthetic base oils and suitable<br />
additives. For ecologically compatible hydraulic<br />
oils, rapidly biodegradable base oils are also used.<br />
The following additives are added to base oils:<br />
··<br />
Pour point improver<br />
··<br />
Viscosity index improver<br />
··<br />
Anti-friction and anti-wear additives<br />
··<br />
Oxidation inhibitors<br />
··<br />
Corrosion inhibitors<br />
