Hydraulic oil is crucial to the operation of the busbar machine. It is not only a medium for energy transmission, but also has multiple functions such as lubrication, cooling, corrosion protection, sealing, wear resistance, foam resistance, and cleaning. The synergistic effect of these functions makes hydraulic oil an important guarantee for the safe, efficient, and stable operation of the busbar machine. Therefore, choosing the right hydraulic oil is crucial to ensure the best performance of the busbar machine and extend the service life of the equipment.

The role and importance of hydraulic oil

Hydraulic oil is the working medium in the hydraulic system. Its main functions include:

• Transmitting pressure: Hydraulic oil plays the role of transmitting pressure in the hydraulic system. It transfers energy from one position to another through the flow of oil, thereby realizing various actions of the busbar machine.

• Lubrication: Hydraulic oil has a lubricating effect on hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders and other components, reducing friction, reducing wear and extending the life of the equipment.

• Cooling: During the operation of the busbar machine, hydraulic oil also plays a cooling role, taking away the heat generated by friction and pressure to prevent the equipment from overheating.

• Anti-corrosion: Hydraulic oil can form a protective film on the metal surface to prevent oxidation and corrosion and keep the equipment in good condition.

Types and application range of hydraulic oil

Hydraulic oil is mainly divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil according to its base oil type and additive type.

• Mineral oil: the most common hydraulic oil, relatively cheap and stable performance. Suitable for busbar machines under most working conditions, but may not perform as well as synthetic oil under extreme temperatures.

• Synthetic oil: hydraulic oil obtained by chemical synthesis, with better oxidation resistance, wear resistance and high temperature resistance, suitable for use under high temperature and high pressure conditions. It is more expensive and is usually used in busbar machines that have higher requirements for hydraulic oil.

Factors to consider when selecting hydraulic oil

• Viscosity：The viscosity of hydraulic oil is one of the key factors when selecting. Viscosity determines the fluidity of hydraulic oil and affects the efficiency and response speed of the hydraulic system. Selecting the appropriate viscosity can ensure that the hydraulic system can work normally at different temperatures. In general, the hydraulic oil of the busbar machine should maintain good fluidity and stability at different temperatures.

• Anti-oxidation property：Hydraulic oil is easily oxidized under high temperature and high pressure environment, forming sludge or acidic substances, resulting in the performance of the hydraulic system. Choosing hydraulic oil with good anti-oxidation property can extend the service life of the oil and reduce the maintenance frequency of the equipment.

• Anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties：Hydraulic oil should have good anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties to protect the metal parts inside the busbar machine from oxidation and corrosion. Especially in high humidity environment, it is particularly important to choose hydraulic oil with excellent anti-rust properties.

• Anti-foaming property：Hydraulic oil will generate bubbles due to high-speed flow during operation. If these bubbles are not eliminated in time, they will affect the stability and precision of the hydraulic system. Hydraulic oil with good anti-foaming property can effectively prevent the formation of bubbles or quickly eliminate bubbles to ensure stable operation of the system.

• High temperature resistance：When the busbar machine works for a long time, the hydraulic system will generate a lot of heat. Choosing hydraulic oil with good high temperature resistance can ensure that the oil does not deteriorate in a high temperature environment, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

• Cost-effectiveness：Mineral oil is more cost-effective than synthetic oil. If the budget allows and the equipment works under harsh conditions such as high temperature and heavy load, choose synthetic oil. If the working environment of the equipment is relatively mild and the budget is limited, mineral oil is also a reliable choice.

• Environmental protection：In recent years, environmental protection issues have received much attention. When choosing hydraulic oil, you should try to choose environmentally friendly products. Environmentally friendly hydraulic oil not only has less pollution to the environment, but also has less impact on the health of operators, which is in line with the trend of modern industrial development.

Conclusion

How to choose the right busbar machine hydraulic oil? Generally, your busbar machine manufacturer or CNC busbar machine supplier will tell you what type of hydraulic oil is most suitable when you receive the equipment. In addition to the factors that need to be considered when choosing hydraulic oil, you should first ask your busbar machine supplier what type of hydraulic oil is most suitable. The multifunctional CNC busbar machine sold in our factory recommends customers to use HM 46# anti-wear hydraulic oil, and the portable hydraulic busbar machine recommends customers to use AW 15# low-condensation anti-wear hydraulic oil.
