Importance of oil care in hydraulics: Impure oil significantly shortens the lifespan of machines. At Leiber, a new filter system improved the oil purity class, which is essential for the longevity of the hydraulic components.
Causes of Oil Pollution: Assembly, incorrect filling, environmental influences, maintenance and process-related wear. Contamination leads to increased wear and machine downtime.
Consequences: Lower lubrication effect, more frequent downtimes, unstable production processes and rising costs.
Preventive measures: Oil analyzes for detailed condition information and adjustment of maintenance measures. Leiber’s example shows how filter systems can improve the cleanliness of the oil and extend the service life of hydraulic components.
