The reasons for the leakage of seals in large-scale custom hydraulic systems

The reasons for the sealing leakage of the sealing cover and the piston rod in the large-scale customized hydraulic system are the possible occurrence of situations such as wrinkling, wear, deterioration, tearing, aging and deformation of the sealing parts. At this time, it is necessary to immediately replace the sealing parts.

Keep the oil clean. The dirt in the oil can damage the system's components. Maintain the oil level. If the oil is low, air will enter, causing the system to operate abnormally. Pay attention to observing oil leakage. Oil leakage indicates that the seal is broken. Not replacing it in time will not only waste oil but also reduce the output power. In severe cases, it may not work. Be familiar with the sounds of the system operation. Normal and faulty sounds are different. Hearing an abnormal sound means there is a problem. Remove it in time to avoid small problems turning into major damages and causing significant losses. Check if the fastening parts are loose. Keep them in an effective fastened state.

In large-scale customized hydraulic systems, there is leakage in the hydraulic circuits. The effective aspects include the leakage of valves and hydraulic pipelines. The maintenance method is to effectively check by operating the directional control valve, and then effectively eliminate the leakage of the hydraulic connection pipelines.

The customized hydraulic system cannot drive the load during operation. The main manifestations include inaccurate piston rod movement, insufficient thrust, and reduced speed. The main cause is internal leakage in the hydraulic cylinder. Equipment internal leakage includes sealing of the hydraulic cylinder body, sealing of the piston rod and the sealing cover, and excessive wear and excessive leakage of the piston seal.

When the custom hydraulic system is operating and the load is too heavy, even though the regulating pressure of the overflow valve has reached its rated value, the hydraulic cylinder still cannot obtain the thrust required for continuous movement and thus does not operate. If the regulating pressure is lower, it will not be able to provide the necessary force to support the load due to insufficient pressure.

The main reason for excessive wear of the piston seal in the custom hydraulic system is due to improper adjustment of the speed control valve. The large hydraulic station has effectively caused excessively high back pressure and improper installation of the sealing components or contamination of the hydraulic oil. Additionally, foreign objects entering during assembly and poor quality of the sealing material are also contributing factors.

The hydraulic oil of the customized hydraulic system flows back to the oil tank through the bypass of the overflow valve. If dirt gets into the overflow valve and blocks the valve core, this will cause the overflow valve to remain open all the time. As a result, the hydraulic oil will effectively flow back to the oil tank through the bypass of the overflow valve, leading to the absence of oil in the hydraulic cylinder.
