When a hydraulic system shows signs of slow operation under load, it’s also important to examine the system’s adjustable controls. For systems using variable displacement pumps, it is common to include a pressure compensator. The role of this device is to adjust the...
A collapsed or restricted intake line, for instance, can create enough resistance to induce cavitation. Similarly, porous hoses or loose clamps may allow air to enter or restrict fluid flow, exacerbating both cavitation and aeration problems. Maintaining a Car Lift...
