Loosening of hydraulic oil pipe joints is a common problem in hydraulic systems, which may cause hydraulic oil leakage, pressure drop, and even equipment failure. In order to solve this problem, we need to deeply analyze its causes and take effective solutions. At the same time, Liwang Fluid Hydraulic Joints, with its excellent performance and unique advantages, has become an ideal choice to solve this problem.

 

 

Causes and solutions for loose hydraulic oil pipe joints

 

1. Improper installation

• Cause : The installation was not carried out according to the specifications, the joints were not tightened or over-tightened, and the threads were not aligned.
• Solution : Use a torque wrench to retighten the joints according to the standard, ensure that the threads are aligned, and avoid excessive force. For ferrule-type joints, ensure that the ferrule is in the correct position and evenly stressed. Clean the threads before installation to ensure that there are no impurities or oil stains that affect the tightening effect.

 

2. Vibration and shock

• Cause : Vibration or external shock during equipment operation causes the joints to gradually loosen.
• Solution : Add anti-loosening devices (such as spring washers and lock nuts) to enhance the vibration resistance of the joint. Use thread lockers (such as Loctite) to apply to the threads to prevent loosening due to vibration. Add vibration damping devices in the equipment design to reduce the vibration and impact on the joint.

 

3. Aging of seals

• Cause : The seal ring or gasket is aged and worn, causing the joint to be unable to remain tight.
• Solution : Check and replace seals regularly, and choose oil-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials (such as fluororubber and nitrile rubber). When installing seals, ensure that they are positioned correctly and without distortion to avoid seal failure due to improper installation. In high-temperature environments, choose high-temperature resistant sealing materials to adapt to the working environment.

 

4. Temperature changes

• Cause : The temperature change of the hydraulic system causes the joint material to expand and contract, resulting in loosening.
• Solution: Choose high-temperature resistant joint materials to ensure that they can still maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments. Avoid long-term over-temperature operation of the hydraulic system to reduce the risk of loosening of the joints due to temperature changes. In high-temperature environments, check the joint status regularly and deal with loosening problems caused by thermal expansion and contraction in a timely manner.

 

5. Material fatigue

• Cause : After long-term use, the joint or thread fatigues, resulting in a decrease in tightening force.
• Solution : Check the joint status regularly and replace damaged joint components in a timely manner. Select high-strength, fatigue-resistant materials to extend the service life of the joint. For key parts, use double nut locking or wire locking devices to enhance the fatigue resistance of the joint.

 

6. External contamination

• Cause : Impurities or contaminants enter the hydraulic system, causing wear or blockage of the joint.
• Solution : Replace the hydraulic oil regularly and keep the system clean. Install filters in the hydraulic system to prevent impurities from entering the joint. Clean the joint and oil pipe before installation to ensure that there are no contaminants that affect the tightening effect of the joint.
