When is a Hydraulic Oil Cooler Necessary?
- High-pressure or high-cycle hydraulic systems.
- Continuous operation (e.g., industrial presses, plastic injection machines).
- Environments with high ambient temperatures.
- Systems using sensitive components (servo valves, precision actuators).
Signs Your Hydraulic System Needs a Cooler
- Oil temperature exceeds 70°C (158°F) regularly.
- Frequent oil changes due to degradation.
- Reduced system efficiency (slow operation, overheating pumps).
Increased noise or leaks from seals/hoses.
