Vibration of the hydraulic pump. Why it is dangerous and how to avoid it

21/11/2024

Small vibrations are permissible in a hydraulic pump during operation. However, if you notice that your hydraulic pump is operating with increased vibrations and different pump sounds, you should immediately contact Aspect Plas for maintenance and advice.

Increased vibration can cause serious damage to your pump, ranging from super-fast wear of the bearing group and seals to complete failure of the hydraulic pump.

Let's take a closer look at all the possible consequences of unwanted vibrations:

  • Partial or complete leakage, which can lead to hydraulic fluid leakage.
  • Reduced service life of both the pump as a whole and its components due to additional loads caused by vibration
  • Significantly reduced efficiency of the hydraulic pump and pressure fluctuations.

How to prevent vibration?

  • Firstly, the hydraulic pump must be properly (accurately, correctly) installed in the special equipment. Secondly, the condition and level of wear of bearings and seals should be regularly checked.
  • It is also very important to control the lubricants of the pump's hydraulic system to prevent friction between parts.
  • Try to avoid sudden changes in fluid flow and it is important to maintain a stable pressure in the system. Avoid overloading your hydraulic pump.
