Daily inspection and maintenance of axial piston pump involves the following steps:
1. Visual Inspection: The pump should be visually inspected to check for any visible damages or leaks.
2. Operating Temperature Check: Check the operating temperature of the pump and ensure it is within the acceptable range. Excessive heat could be an indicator of overuse, low oil levels or blocked filters.
3. Oil Level Check: Inspect the oil level in the pump and ensure it is adequate. Low oil levels could cause the pump to overheat or cause mechanical damage.
4. Check for Contamination: The oil should be checked for foreign particles or debris. Sediments in the oil could lead to lower efficiency, damage of internal parts and malfunctioning of the pump.
5. Cleaning of Filters: Clean the filters and remove any contaminants present within them, as this can lead to clogging and failure of the pump.
6. Tightening of Bolts: Ensure all bolts are tightened to the required torque levels as loose bolts can cause vibration and damaging of components.
7. Regular Maintenance: Timely maintenance and repairs, following the manufacturer’s instructions, can prevent major breakdowns and prolong the lifespan of the pump.
Proper maintenance and care of these pumps can ensure long-lasting and reliable performance in all applications, and avoid unnecessary expenses on repair and replacement.
