Hydraulic fluid
Hydraulic fluid type
Black Bruin hydraulic motors are designed to work with hydraulic fluids based on
mineral oil. Consider the following requirements when choosing hydraulic fluid:
• Hydraulic oils in accordance with ISO 6743-4 are recommended to be used.
• Motor oils in accordance with API-grades SF, SG, SH and SL may also be used.
• Fire resistant hydraulic fluids HFB and HFC or similar may be used under certain
circumstances.
Hydraulic fluid properties
Requirements concerning the hydraulic fluid properties:
• The recommended fluid viscosity range for constant use is 25 - 50 cSt.
• The minimum permissible intermittent viscosity is 15 cSt.
• The maximum permissible viscosity during motor startup is 1000 cSt.
• The viscosity index must be at least 100.
• The water content of hydraulic oil should be less than 500 ppm (0,05 %).
• The hydraulic fluid must reach score 10 on a wear protection test FZG A/8,3/90 in
accordance with ISO 14635-1 (DIN 51354)
• The effect of the additives improving the viscosity index can decrease during
operation.
Note:
Temperature has a significant effect on the viscosity and the lubricating
capability of the hydraulic fluid. Take into consideration the real operating
temperature when defining the fluid viscosity.
The need for service and the overall service life may be improved by using
hydraulic fluids with higher viscosity. In addition higher viscosity may
improve the running smoothness.
Hydraulic fluid cleanliness
Hydraulic fluid must fulfill cleanliness level 18/16/13 in accordance with ISO 4406
(NAS 1638 grade 7).
Note:
The purity of the hydraulic fluid has a significant effect on the need for
service and the overall service life of the motor.
Operating pressures
Case pressure
The case pressure of the motor affects the lifetime of the sealing. It is recommended
to maintain as low case pressure as possible.
When the motor is running, the permissible average case pressure is 2 bar and the
highest permissible intermittent case pressure is 10 bar.
When the motor is not running, the highest permissible constant case pressure is 10
bar.
