While performing ordinary oil condition monitoring on industrial systems, we can often notice that hydraulic oil has changed its color. The source of the problem can be very difficult to locate and is often consequence of complex chemical processes in hydraulic oil. Finding the root cause of oil varnishing in hydraulic machine design and its operat...

Hydraulic cylinder malfunctions are very common causes for the failure of the operation of the hydraulic system. Most common causes are in cylinder’s seal failure, whereby the error by replacing the seals can be relatively quickly eliminated. In the case of frequent occurrence of the same failure, the problem should be more carefully addresse...

The basic objective of machine structure testing is to reduce the number of structures without satisfactory quality, which are either discarded as scrap or sent for additional machining. The non-destructive testing can detect surface and internal errors in structures, depending on the applied testing method, which enables total quality of the produ...
