Notes on the selection of hydraulic fl uid
In order to select the correct fl uid, it is necessary to know the
operating temperature in the tank (open circuit) in relation to
the ambient temperature.
The hydraulic fl uid should be selected so that within the ope-
rating temperature range, the viscosity lies within the optimum
range (
ν
opt
)
; see shaded section in the selection diagram. We
recommend, that the higher viscosity grade is selected in each
case.
Temperature range (see selection diagram)
t
min
= – 25° C
t
max
= + 90° C
Example: at an ambient temperature of X° C the operating
temperature in the tank is 60° C. In the optimum viscosity range
(ν
opt
; shaded area), this corresponds to grades VG 46 or VG 68;
select: VG 68.
Important: The case drain temperature is infl uenced by pres-
sure and speed and is always higher than the tank temperature.
However the max. temperature at any point in the system
may not
exceed 90° C.
Technical data
Hydraulic fl uid
For extensive information on the selection of hydraulic fl uids and
application conditions please consult our data sheets RE 90220
(mineral oils), RE 90221 (ecologically acceptable fl uids) and RE
90223 (HF-fl uids)
.
The variable pump A4VSO is suitable for operation on HF-fl uids.
(HFA, HFB, and HFC: EA4VSO or A4VSO....F
HFD: standard version A4VSO with FKM seals)
However, limitations to the technical data, according to
RE 90223 must be observed.
On certain selected HFC-fl uids, pump sizes 125...355, exe-
cuted in accordance to RE 92053 can be operated with the
same pressures and speeds as on mineral oil.
On operation with HFA and HFB-fl uids, limitations of the tech-
nical data must be observed according to RE 90223.
On operation with rolling oil please consult us.
When ordering, please state the fl uid to be used.
Operating viscosity range
Within the operating viscosity range between 16...100 mm
2
/s
the units can be operated without limitations of the technical
data.
In order to obtain optimum effi ciency and service life, we
recommend that the operating viscosity (at operating tempera-
ture) be selected in the range
