It is commonly know that the majority of hydraulic component failures are caused by contamination inside the system. What are these contaminants, how do they get inside and what damage and problems do they cause? Reliable hydraulic system performance is enhanced with a great contamination awareness and control strategy. Carl will share first hand accounts of how industrial machines have failed due to tiny particles trapped inside the fluid and components.
In this part one webinar participants will learn:
- The five most common types of solid particles found in hydraulic systems
- Sources and sizes of solid particles
- Typical ingression paths for particle contaminants
- Component damage and wear caused by solid particles
