Tribological profile of hydraulic oils by using SRV
- Hydraulic oils are well established formulations developed around the pump test. Requirements for energy efficiency and also environmentally acceptable properties increased the demand for development. In the same time, system pressure and the used of servo-hydraulic vanes increased bringing specific formulations and materials to their limit.
The vane pump is a key component in hydraulic systems and many other tribosystems in hydraulic circuits operate under different tribological operating conditions. The concept for ranking of hydraulic oils consists in using existing SRV-based ASTM test methods for evaluation of friction, wear and extreme pressure properties: D6425, friction and wear of oils (homologue to DIN 51834-2), D7421, extreme pressure properties of oils and D7755, wear volumes of ball and disks (homologue to DIN 51834-3. The tribological properties are assessed under the regime of mixed/boundary lubrication The SRV-based concept of tribological profile generates the wearHydraulic oils are well established formulations developed around the pump test.

The tribological properties are assessed under the regime of mixed/boundary lubrication The SRV-based concept of tribological profile generates the wear volumes on two triboelements (specimen) and the extreme pressure properties as well as the evolution of friction in the wear and extreme pressure load step test. Thus, the benchmark and validation of hydraulic oils bear on a wider range of tribological properties. Round robin test results using the aforementioned testing concept will be shown. Another outcome is tribological set limits for inclusion in hydrau¬lic oil speci¬fications.…
