THE CHALLENGE

Identification of contamination in hydraulic systems

Lubricant analysis in hydraulic systems involves periodic sampling to assess the presence of metal particles and other contaminants. This provides detailed insight into the condition of the system and the oil.

Lubricant Analysis Techniques

Oil samples are taken from the engines during testing on the assembly line. These samples are analyzed for metal particles and other contaminants that could signal premature wear problems.

Proactive Maintenance

The results of the analysis identify the need for oil changes or system adjustments before lubricant quality compromises operation. This reduces wear and extends the service life of hydraulic components.
