HOW TO PROTECT HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS IN HOT AND COLD TEMPERATURES
Hydraulic cylinder systems are made to handle demanding work conditions and harsh environments. But even the most rugged, high-performing equipment can fail under certain conditions. In work environments involving high and low temperatures, the hydraulic cylinders and components of these powerful systems are especially prone to damage. Whether you operate industrial or mobile hydraulic equipment, these tips will help you understand the effects of high and low temperatures on hydraulic systems and how to protect them from damage. PROTECTING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS IN EXTREME HEAT All hydraulic systems generate heat during operation. Extremely high temperatures, however, whether it’s from mechanical or environmental sources, heat can do a number on your hydraulic system. High Temperatures and Hydraulic Fluid Viscosity You know how oil thins out once you add it to a hot pan? Well, heat has that same effect on hydraulic fluid and lubricants. In fact, heat is considered a type of hydraulic...
