Hydraulic underspeed refers to a situation where the hydraulic system fails to meet performance expectations during operation. Diagnosing this issue can be challenging due to its complexity and the variety of potential causes. It's important to address underspeed issues promptly, as they can lead to decreased productivity and operational inefficiencies.
### Negative Impacts of Hydraulic Underspeed
When actuators like cylinders or hydraulic motors experience underspeed, two primary scenarios arise:
1. **Fast Movement Inefficiency**: The initial rapid movement (fast forward) does not reach the required velocity, falling short of the design specifications, especially noticeable on newly installed equipment.
2. **Load-Dependent Speed Decline**: Under load conditions, the working speed (work advance) drops significantly as the load increases. This is particularly problematic for large hydraulic machinery where the relationship between speed and flow rate becomes critical.
Underspeed directly reduces operational efficiency, increasing cycle times and potentially halting operations under heavy load. This can disrupt normal equipment functionality and lead to downtime.
### Causes of Underspeed Failures
1. **Inadequate Fast Movement**:
- Insufficient output flow or pressure from the hydraulic pump.
- Malfunctioning relief valves, such as permanent deformation of springs or incorrect spring strength, leading to excessive internal overflow.
- Internal and external leaks within the system, exacerbated by damaged seals in hydraulic cylinders, which allow high-pressure oil to escape.
- Increased friction during fast-forward movements due to poor guide rail lubrication or improper assembly.
2. **Reduced Working Speed Under Load**:
- Higher internal and external leaks under load conditions reduce effective flow rates.
- Rising oil temperatures decrease viscosity, further increasing leaks and reducing flow efficiency.
- Poor system design where flow rates fluctuate with load changes, affecting speed consistency.
- Contaminated oil blocking flow control valves, causing unstable speeds.
- Air trapped in the hydraulic system, which can impair performance.
### Solutions to Address Underspeed Issues
1. **Ensure Hydraulic Pump Efficiency**: Verify and resolve any issues related to insufficient output flow or pressure from the pump.
2. **Inspect Pressure Control Valves**: Check relief valves for proper function and replace any faulty components.
3. **Address Leaks**: Locate and fix internal and external leaks, replacing worn-out parts to eliminate internal leakage.
4. **Control Oil Temperature**: Implement cooling measures to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent viscosity-related issues.
5. **Clean Components**: Regularly clean flow control valves and replace oil when contamination levels are high.
6. **Remove Air from the System**: Identify and rectify sources of air intake to ensure smooth system operation.
By systematically addressing these factors, hydraulic underspeed issues can be effectively resolved, restoring optimal performance and enhancing equipment reliability. Proper maintenance and timely intervention are key to preventing long-term damage and maintaining consistent productivity.
