Apex Hydraulics keeps on the right track for effective maintenance

17 August, 2016

Unforgiving environments present challenges for hydraulic systems that depend upon clean oil, sound seals and piston rods free of dents in order to function. The rail maintenance industry provides a particularly harsh atmosphere for hydraulics. The grinding process can cause sparks, damaging parts such as seals. The fast speeds can see stones and debris bouncing up and hitting the rod at speed, causing dents, which can develop in to scoring, peeling and pitting to piston rods, which can then damage the seals, causing leakages and premature failure.
