Problems when using hydraulics? How to solve it

The application of hydraulic jacks in practice is unquestionable, because this is still an important equipment chosen by many industries in Vietnam. With outstanding features, this device helps increase labor productivity and improve work accuracy. In the coming time, fields such as repair, assembly, manufacturing, traffic rescue, construction... will certainly still need hydraulic jacks.

However, during use, sometimes some problems cannot be avoided. So what are common problems and how to handle them? Let's find out in the article below

Common problems when using hydraulic jacks

After a long period of operation, especially in harsh environmental conditions, hydraulic jacks may encounter some problems such as:

The device is stuck and cannot be raised or lowered as usual.

The retaining pin is broken, affecting the operation process.

The pressure valve has a problem, causing the device to become uncontrollable.

The actuator mechanism operates slowly, is unstable or reacts erratically.

Oil leakage occurs, causing loss and affecting performance.

The surface rusts and wears over time.

Causes of hydraulic jack failure

As mentioned, hydraulic jacks can have problems due to many different reasons, including:

Failure to maintain equipment regularly will cause parts to degrade over time.

Using the wrong type of oil when replacing will affect performance.

Leaving the device outdoors for long periods of time, exposed to rain and sun, can lead to rust and damage.

Operating beyond the permissible load causes the jack to be overloaded and quickly degrade.

Use in unfavorable environments or for too long a time without appropriate protection measures will reduce device life.

Solution to troubleshooting hydraulic jacks

To maintain the life of the hydraulic jack and limit unwanted damage, periodic maintenance is important and cannot be ignored. When detecting unusual signs, it is necessary to quickly check and take timely measures. If the problem is complicated, contact a reputable repair unit immediately to avoid more serious damage. It is necessary to be proactive in maintenance and repair to help equipment operate more stably and minimize interruptions during work.

What Is Resonant Frequency? Why Can a Single Frequency Range Damage the Entire Product?

A device may operate stably for months, yet suffer cracks, broken solder joints, or snapped component leads after being transported. What surprises many engineers is that the vibration amplitude during transport is no greater than usual. The root cause lies in a specific frequency range where the product's structure absorbs energy most intensely, triggering resonance and causing continuous stress concentration at a single point.

Distinguishing Between DFT and WFT in Coating Thickness Measurement

Many projects encounter a situation where a freshly applied coating looks perfectly uniform and paint consumption matches the estimate, yet additional coating is required during inspection because the thickness is insufficient. This leads many to suspect measurement errors or equipment inaccuracy, whereas the actual cause is a confusion between WFT (Wet Film Thickness) and DFT (Dry Film Thickness)
