S O h i fSymptom: Over heating of systemWhat is the maximum temperature for a hydraulic system?
For safety, efficiency, and oil quality, temperatures above 140°F are not recommended for industrial hydraulic equipment using petroleum based hydraulic oilequipment using petroleum-based hydraulic oil.
Oil that is too hot will degrade rapidly, drop in viscosity and can lead to accelerated component wear and poor systemcan lead to accelerated component wear and poor system performance. A broken hose or leak in a line may result in serious burns to nearby personnel.

How to measure leakage If your pump has a case drain line a quick check for inefficiency is to remove the case drain
line and drop it into a bucketline and drop it into a bucket.
While the pump is in compensation, monitor how much fluid is coming from the case drain line. It should be within the catalog characteristics.
If more than 10% of the pump’s maximum output is going out the case drain line, this would indicate that the pump requires rebuild or replacement.
Internal leakage will show signs of high heat. Temperature readings at the pump during a

if valve has just been replaced). Look at any check valves or back pressure valves required to provide pilot pressure (often
the case with proportionally controlled directional valves) System operating pressure too low (see low or erratic pressure) System operating pressure too low (see low or erratic pressure) A valve elsewhere in the system is allowing flow to be diverted to the reservoir Interlock device not actuated Mechanical bind on machine or actuator (improper mounting of actuator).

Actuators
Suggestions:Suggestions: If you think that it may be internal leakage:
Take temperature readings on the system and on both sides of actuator Take temperature readings on the system and on both sides of actuator. Actuator may be bypassing internally due to worn seals.
Extend cylinder fully and disconnect rod end port connection. If fluid is continuing to flow from rod end port the cylinder has internal leakage andcontinuing to flow from rod end port the cylinder has internal leakage and requires rebuild or replacement. If no leakage is present connect the line, retract the cylinder, and remove cap end connection to check for same on opposite end. (Note: Only portion of cylinder stroke may be leaking)
Depending on the seal design it is possible for a cylinder to leak in one direction and not the other. A cylinder that leaks internally typically will drift in the extend direction because of the area differences on the piston even when mounted vertically rod up.mounted vertically rod up.
If you experience this type of drifting the issue is probably the actuator and you should start your troubleshooting here.
