Hydraulics Welding Needs
Stock piston rods, boss, and pins don’t always suit every system. Often custom sizing is needed. Finding a metal fabricator who is capable of customizing is difficult. When looking for a machine shop make sure their equipment is up to date. A computerized system with a lathe and plasma table would be a good choice to make sure any fabrication has minimal variances.
Common Failures
Most often contamination in the hydraulic fluid or oil causes concern or the fluid level is insufficient. Making sure to change the filters and check fluid levels is important.
Seals and hoses are also commonly a point of failure. Hose abrasions are very common. Aging and weather are another way that hoses can become damaged and may need to be replaced. Seals also break down to weather and improper fitting or fluid contamination.
Prevention
Regular hydraulic equipment checks for leaks, vibrations, and any strange noises are key to keep your system in good condition. A written checklist of equipment inspection to do on a daily or weekly basis for the operators or machinists. Addressing these issues early on will prevent larger more expensive repairs that can put your hydraulic press out of work for a longer period of time.
A few items to make sure are on the list is to inspect hoses and connections for damage. Another is to check fluid level and filters. Also, check all seals for any possible leaks. Checking the floor below the equipment could also indicate if there are leaks. Listen for vibrations or odd sounds as well.
