Dispelling Myths about Variable Displacement Pumps on Hydraulic Systems

摘要

In any articulated crane, the flow of oil is key to the operation of the machine. Oil extends the boom to its desired length and allows it to retract to its resting position. The challenges to any crane involve the control of the flow of oil, as well as the maintenance of oil temperature. Increased temperature causes oil to lose the friction-easing properties that are vital to the smooth operation of the mechanics of the crane, as well as the preservation of key seals and other rubber components.
