After contamination is found in your hydraulic system, how are you supposed to decontaminate it? The simple answer is time and money. Once a system gets contaminated, it gets costly. When a system goes down, costs skyrocket. On one system, production time was worth $2,400 a minute when it was down — and it was down for 32 hours. That was enough … [Read More...]

How does heat affect a hydraulic system?
Everyone knows that contamination can be catastrophic to a hydraulic system. But heat can also be detrimental to hydraulic fluid and the components within that system. Heat contamination reduces oil viscosity, which in turn reduces the fluid’s … [Read More...]
Assessing and managing rod seal friction in hydraulic applications
Advances in rod seal design, materials, and test methods help improve the efficiency and reliability of hydraulic systems. Contributed by Chuck White, Director of Commercial Development, Hallite Friction is one of the most common and … [Read More...]
What is Shore Hardness?
Hardness, in basic terms, is the resistance of a material against intrusion and permanent deformation by a harder body. It is one property that is important for the proper specification and function of seals and other critical components in fluid … [Read More...]
