Compounding the problems caused by general contamination is the presence of metal particles within the hydraulic fluid. These metallic fragments, often the byproduct of internal wear, friction, or component failure, are particularly dangerous due to their abrasive...
Corrosion within the internal barrel of the hydraulic cylinder is another issue that can lead to serious mechanical failure. This type of corrosion usually results from the presence of water or moisture in the hydraulic fluid, which can occur if the system is exposed...
