Are hydraulic hoses maintenance free?
Most people think that once they install hydraulic hoses, they are maintenance-free and finished. People only notice it when it is completely worn out and cannot be used anymore. But is this really true? Are hydraulic hoses really that durable? As with any metal or rubber product, some failures can occur even within the lifetime of the product.For this reason, you need to maintain them on a regular basis.
Effective securing of hydraulic hoses ensures that they will not kink or twist. You should lay hydraulic hoses as naturally as possible, avoiding abnormal stresses at the connections. And, of course, desiHYDRAULIC MOTOR BLOCKS TYPE BV BVR 12 19gning with a suitably defined hose length prevents an excessive amount of sag to avoid mechanical wear caused by the hose rubbing against the metal.
How can I prevent wear and tear on hydraulic hoses?
Most damage to hydraulic hoses results from wear and tear, especially in mechanisms with relative motion. For example, most of the actuators on excavators are subject to relative motion. Therefore, in addition to effective fixation, if possible, we should preferably jacket the hydraulic hoses, which will effectively slow down mechanical wear.
Another advantage of wearing a jacket is that it protects the hydraulic hose from industrial dust, oil, and other dirty environments. Without this protection, these factors can increase the decomposition rate of rubber. This layer of jacket covers the hose completely from head to toe. It wears and corrodes first, protecting the hose from external damage.
Of course, wearing clothes isn’t everything, and you’ll want to check your hose wraps regularly for wear and tear.
Of course, one downside to this jacket over the hose is that they hide the wear and tear on the hose itself, which you can’t check very well. That’s why regular undressing and inspection is also essential. If you find any obvious cracks, leaks or wear on the inner hose, replace it immediately.
For example, if you have a piece of equipment that has been in use for three to four years and has a total of 12 hoses, and three of those hoses have failed prematurely, it means the remaining hoses are unlikely to last much longer. Probably due to the harsh environment in which it was used!
It’s the old adage that, as with hydraulic pumps, proper hose maintenance practices should be preventative, not reactive.
