2.3 Choice of hydraulic fluid
The Hägglunds hydraulic motors are primarily designed to operate on conventional petroleum based
hydraulic oils. The hydraulic oil can be chosen in consultation with the oil supplier of your local sales
office, bearing the following requirements in mind:
GENERAL
The oil shall have FZG (90) fail stage minimum 11 described in IP 334 (DIN 51354). The oil must also
contain inhibitors to prevent oxidation, corrosion and foaming. The viscosity of mineral oil is highly de-
pendent of the temperature. The final choice of oil must depend on the operating temperature that can
be expected or that has been established in the system and not in the hydraulic tank. High temperatures
in the system greatly reduce the service life of oil and rubber seals, as well as resulting in low viscosity,
which in turn provides poor lubrication. Content of water shall be less than 0.1%. In Industrial applica-
tions with high demands for service life, the content of water shall be less than 0.05%.
Viscosity index = 100 is recommended. Viscosity index =150 can be used for operation with large tem-
perature difference, however many hydraulic fluids are subject to temporary and permanent reductions
of the viscosity. Hägglunds recommendation is always to use the base oil viscosity when calculating the
rated life and max allowed power. For heavy-duty applications we recommend synthetic oils.
Fire resistant fluids
OPERATING WITH FIRE RESISTANT FLUIDS
The following fluids are tested for Hägglunds motors: (ISO/DP 6071)
* Low viscosity gives reduced service life for the motors.
Max permitted viscosity is 10000 cSt/48000 SSU
IMPORTANT!
Down rating of pressure data and service life must be considered when using fire re-
sistant fluid. The Hägglunds company or its authorised representative must always be
contacted for approval in the case of these types of fluids.
Recommended viscosity in motor case
at operating temperature
40-150 cSt/187-720 SSU.
For speed below 5 rpm, coated pistons
shall be used, please contact your
Hägglunds representative.
* Must be specified in the order.
