Oil

Frequently asked questions — Oil

• How do I select the hydraulic oil suited to my installation?

  The choice of hydraulic oil must imperatively be based on the manufacturers' recommendations, taking into account the operating temperature conditions and the load constraints applied to the systems. It is essential to analyse the viscosity characteristics and the required filtration level according to the operating environment and the types of hydraulic components involved. The selection, from among the brands FUCHS LUBRIFIANTS, TOTAL, BONFIGLIOLI and MOLYDAL, must also be correlated with the specific needs of crimping equipment or hydraulic accessories integrated into your circuit architecture.
• What criteria should be observed when maintaining a hydraulic schematic?

  When maintaining or designing a hydraulic schematic, the user must refer to the recommendations relating to mounting interfaces, defined in the ISO 4401 standard, to guarantee equipment compatibility. Operation must remain compliant with the standardised visual specifications according to the ISO 1219 standard. The integration of the chosen fluid must ensure the thermal stability essential to the operation of servomechanisms and actuators, while guaranteeing the longevity of installations through consistent use with the hydraulic connectors and adapters available in the catalogue.
• Why is the choice of oil decisive for servomechanisms and actuators?

  These technical fluids play a key role by ensuring thermal stability, an essential condition for the proper functioning of servomechanisms and actuators within the systems. An oil unsuited to the temperature conditions or load constraints could compromise overall performance. Compliance with the manufacturers' recommendations and a precise analysis of the viscosity characteristics ensure that the lubricant guarantees the longevity of installations, while maintaining optimal compatibility with the other hydraulic components and crimping equipment used in your circuit.
• In which cases should I consult the specifications of the FUCHS, TOTAL, BONFIGLIOLI or MOLYDAL brands?

  It is advisable to consult the specifications of the fluids from these brands whenever you need to meet the specific needs of your crimping equipment or hydraulic accessories integrated into the overall architecture of your circuit. This selection must be correlated with the technical requirements of the installation, including load and temperature conditions. The analysis of these needs ensures that the chosen technical lubricant guarantees the necessary thermal stability, while respecting the compatibility requirements with the hydraulic connectors and adapters used in your system.
