Possible
Causes |
|
Remedy |
| 1) |
Motor-load coupling misaligned. |
1) |
Realign motor and load coupling
to within 005 in T.I.R. |
| 2) |
Motor running away. |
2) |
See below: |
| |
| a) |
No
flow control on motor. |
| b) |
Excessive
load. |
|
|
| a) |
Add flow control to
outlet. |
| b) |
Reduce the load. |
|
| 3) |
Aeration due to foaming. |
3) |
See below: |
| |
|
|
| a) |
Add an anti-foam concentrate. |
| b) |
Flush, clean, and
refill system with
fluid having anti-foam
additives. |
|
| 4) |
Cavitation |
4) |
See below: |
| |
| a) |
Excessive
motor speed. |
| b) |
Improper
fluid viscosity. |
| c) |
Fluid
too cold. |
| d) |
Restricted
inlet line. |
| e) |
Hydraulic
pump is cavitating. |
|
|
| a) |
Reduce motor speed
to specification. |
| b) |
Change to fluid with
a viscosity that is
recommended by motor
manufacturer. |
| c) |
Preheat the fluid. |
| d) |
Remove restriction
at the inlet. |
| e) |
Eliminate hydraulic
pump cavitation. |
|
| 5) |
Case drain restricted. |
5) |
Remove, clean, and replace
drain line to remove the
restriction. |
| 6) |
Sticking vane (on vane motors). |
6) |
Disassemble, replace parts
and reassemble, or replace
the motor. |
| 7) |
Worn or broken parts. |
7) |
Disassemble, replace parts
and reassemble, or replace
the motor. |
