Cavitation
Cavitation
Cavitation marks in the cylinder barrel
bores, on the port side or on the valve
plate depends on air in the oil.
Reasons can be when inlet pressure/
flow isn’t sufficient. Example when
stopping a fan drive and inertia will run
the motor.
Why cavitation?
• Too high speed
• Too low inlet pressure
(pump mode)
What consequence?
• A metallic sound comes from the
system
• Material damage as craters in the
goods which contaminate the
hydraulic system
• Lift off if severe cavitation
• Shaft seal leakage
