Preventive Maintenance for Hydraulic Valves

To maintain your hydraulic valves so that they function properly and run longer, you should set up and stick to plan of regular maintenance.

One downside of waiting until a valve fails is the major inconvenience it causes. Production will stop until the valve can be repaired or replaced, and lost production has to be made up, which often happens on overtime. This is the most expensive method of maintaining a hydraulic valve.

A brand-new valve should operate at peak performance. But to keep it running year after year, there are diagnostic tools that can help your technician find issues and what is causing them without having to shut down the system. This is similar to an auto mechanic hooking up your car to a diagnostic computer instead of taking apart the engine piece by piece.

If a valve does have to be removed from service for repair, the technician will know exactly what is wrong and can put it back into action quickly.

Another effective method of reducing downtime and maintenance costs is predictive maintenance, which allows the technician to test valves to establish performance baselines that will guard against future problems. When it’s time for annual maintenance, valves that are tested again and still performing within range of the baseline may not need service.

Of course, sometimes valve repair is necessary. The most common reasons are internal leakage, external leakage, sticking in place, and complete failure. This usually means that the value was not designed for the conditions in which you are using it. Pair the right valve with the right application, stick to a regular maintenance plan, and you can get decades of use out of your equipment.
