Tribology of hydraulic pump testing
- eds.
Traditionally, numerous tests have been used to determine the lubrication properties of hydraulic fluids. These tests have included both pump tests and bench tests. However, none of these tests has achieved consensus acceptance within the fluid power industry. This lack of consensus has affected everyone in the industry. Therefore, there is a need to develop a hydraulic fluid testing protocol that will provide the desired insights into the lubrication properties of hydraulic fluids in a widely varying array of pumps and use conditions. The objective of this conference was to obtain an overview both of testing procedures that have been applied and new tests that are currently being developed to successfully evaluate hydraulic fluid lubricity. The topics addressed at this conference include the potential application of fundamental tribological principles in solving and generalizing the lubrication problems in hydraulic fluid lubrication of a broad range of pumps and motors. An overview of the most commonly encountered pump tests and new pump testing proposals was provided. The predictability of fluid contamination on pump wear was addressed. Finally, a number of bench testing procedures that are currently under evaluation to supplement or replace current pump testing procedures were discussed. Separate abstracts were prepared for 26 papers in this conference.
