Proper selection of oil assures satisfactory life and operation of system components. The purpose of this section is to provide readers with the knowledge required to select the appropriate fluids for use in systems that employ Eaton hydraulic componentsViscosity and TemperatureViscosity is the measure of a fluid s resistance to flow.

2 The most important characteristics to consider when choosing a fluid to be used in a hydraulic system is viscosity. The fluid must be thin enough to flow easily but thick enough to maintain adequate lubricating film between components and to maintain proper sealing at the operating temperatures of the hydraulic system. For viscosity requirements, see of any fluid is relative to temperature, as the fluid warms the viscosity decreases and vice versa. When choosing a fluid, it is important to consider the start-up and operating temperatures of the hydraulic system. A high VI fluid shows relatively small change of viscosity with temperature.

3 Lubricants used for hydraulic applications may contain viscosity index improvers (VII). They refer to these fluids as viscosity index improved or multiviscosity fluids. The viscosity of these fluids may drop down in use due to shearing ofVI improvers used in the formulations. Anti-wear hydraulic oils containing polymeric thickeners, viscosity index improvers (VII) are generally used for wide band operating temperature applications These fluids experience temporary and permanent viscosity loss during use in hydraulic system. Check the extent of viscosity loss (shear stability) to avoid hydraulic service below the recommended minimum viscosity.

4 Oil with good shear stability is recommended for wide band temperature applications. Multi-grade engine oils, ATFs, UTTOs, etc., also contain VIIs, and viscosity loss will be encountered during of the fluid in a hydraulic system is extremely important. More than 70% of all failures are caused by contamination Eaton recommends that the fluid used in its hydraulic components be maintained per ISO 4406. Cleanliness level requirements vary with the hydraulic components. The cleanliness of a hydraulic system is dictated by the cleanliness requirements of the most stringent component in the system. Cleanliness requirements for specific products are given in the table.

5 OEM s and distributors who use Eaton hydraulic components in their hydraulic systems should provide these requirements in their designs. Contact Eaton filter representative for filtration MaintenanceThe condition of a fluid has a direct effect on the performance and reliability of the system. Maintaining proper fluid viscosity, cleanliness level, water content, and additive level is essential for excellent hydraulic system performance. Routine fluid condition monitoring is SelectionPremium grade anti-wear (AW) petroleum based hydraulic fluids will provide the best performance with Eaton hydraulic components.

6 Lubricants that pass Eaton Vickers 35VQ25A high pressure vane pump test ( Eaton ATS- 373 test procedure, ASTM specification D 6973) are considered good quality antiwear hydraulic fluids. Automotive crank case oils with American Petroleum Institute (API) letter designation SF, SG, SH, SJ, or higher per SAE J 183 classes of oils are recommended for applications using Eaton DG valves Automotive crankcase oils generally exhibit less shear stability compared to industrial anti-wear hydraulic fluids, which can result in higher loss of viscosity during service life. Other mineral oil based lubricants commonly used in hydraulic systems are automatic transmission fluids (ATF) and universal tractor transmission oils (UTTO).

7 Synthetic hydrocarbon base stocks, such as polyalphaolefins (PAO) are also used to formulate hydraulic fluids, engine oils, ATFs and UTTOs Alternate fluids are recommended when specific properties, such as fire resistance biodegradability etc., are necessary for the application. Keep in mind that alternative fluids may differ from AW petroleum fluids in NotesWhen choosing a hydraulic fluid, all the components in the system must be considered. Viscosity limitations has to meet the most stringent component requirements. For any system where the fluid is non-petroleum oil, set the target one ISO code cleaner for each particle size, than that of petroleum fluids.

8 Keep adequate fluid level in the reservoir. Take fluid level reading when the system is cold. For more details, refer to Eaton Fluid Recommendation Document # 03-401-2010.
