Hydrostatic Bearing Troubleshooting: Pressure Drop and Film Loss

Key Takeaways:

A sudden drop in cavity pressure or loss of the oil film is the key early warning in hydrostatic systems. Learn the common causes—filtration, supply, restrictor—and the first checks to make.

Устранение неполадок гидростатики: падение давления и потеря плёнки

Плёнка — диагностика

Плёнка и подшипник, и индикатор. Падение давления, рост расхода или вибрация — сигнал нестабильности.

Причины

  • Забитый фильтр (менять ~500 ч).
  • Загрязнение масла (проверить NAS 5).
  • Неисправность дросселя или воздух.
  • Уход температуры из 35±5°C.

Что делать

Сначала проверьте давление, фильтр, чистоту и температуру. Восстановление масла решает большинство сбоев.

🇻🇳 Tiếng Việt

Sự cố ổ thủy tĩnh: tụt áp và mất màng

Màng là chẩn đoán

Màng vừa là ổ, vừa là chỉ báo. Tụt áp, tăng lưu lượng hay rung là dấu hiệu mất ổn định.

Nguyên nhân

  • Lọc tắc (thay ~500 h).
  • Dầu bẩn thủng màng 3–10 μm (kiểm NAS 5).
  • Van tiết lưu hỏng hoặc lọt khí.
  • Nhiệt trôi khỏi 35±5°C.

Xử lý đầu

Kiểm áp, lọc, sạch, nhiệt trước khi động vào ổ. Phục hồi dầu giải quyết phần lớn lỗi.

Dépannage palier hydrostatique : chute de pression et perte de film

Le film est le diagnostic

Le film est à la fois le palier et l'indicateur. Chute de pression, flux montant ou vibration signalent l'instabilité.

Causes

  • Filtre colmaté (changer ~500 h).
  • Huile contaminée (NAS 5).
  • Défaut de restrictieur ou air.
  • Température hors 35±5°C.

Première action

Vérifier pression, filtre, propreté, température avant de toucher au palier. Restaurer l'huile règle la plupart des pannes.

Fehlerbehebung Hydrostatik: Druckabfall und Filmverlust

Der Film ist die Diagnose

Der Film ist Lager und Anzeige zugleich. Druckabfall, steigender Fluss oder Vibration signalisieren Instabilität.

Ursachen

  • Verstopfter Filter ( ~500 h tauschen).
  • Ölverschmutzung (NAS 5 prüfen).
  • Drosselfehler oder Luft.
  • Temperatur aus dem 35±5°C-Band.

Erste Schritte

Druck, Filter, Sauberkeit, Temperatur prüfen, bevor man das Lager anfasst. Ölqualität behebt die meisten Fehler.

The Film Is the Diagnostic

In a hydrostatic system, the oil film is both the bearing and the health indicator. A sudden drop in cavity pressure, rising flow with falling load capacity, or visible vibration all signal that the film is no longer stable.

Hydrostatic troubleshooting pressure drop

Common Causes

  • Filter clogging reducing supply flow (service the filter, typically ~every 500 h).
  • Oil contamination breaching the 3–10 μm film (verify NAS 5 cleanliness).
  • Restrictor fault or air ingestion lowering cavity pressure.
  • Temperature drift moving the oil out of the 35±5°C band.

First Response

Check supply pressure, filter condition, oil cleanliness, and temperature before touching the bearing. Because accuracy depends on the film, restoring oil quality and supply stability resolves most faults without stripping the machine.
