Can hydraulic oil and hydraulic rail oil be mixed?
December 12, 2021
The hydraulic oil is prepared by Base Oil and high-quality additives. It is the hydraulic medium used in the hydraulic system using the hydraulic pressure energy, which plays the role of energy transfer, anti-wear, system lubrication, anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and cooling in the hydraulic system. For hydraulic oil, first of all, it should meet the requirements of hydraulic device for liquid viscosity at working temperature and starting temperature. Because the viscosity change of lubricating oil is directly related to hydraulic action, transmission efficiency and transmission accuracy, the viscosity-temperature performance of the oil is also required. And shear stability should meet the various needs of different applications.
There are many types of hydraulic oil, with different classification methods. The hydraulic rail oil is a kind of lubricating oil used for hydraulic rails. It is a highly refined high-viscosity index mineral oil as the base oil, mixed with a variety of special additives such as extreme pressure anti-wear agents, anti-corrosion and anti-rust agents. It is used for machine equipment with guide rails in or around itself. It has good stick-slip properties, good abrasion resistance, good adhesion, good oxygen stability, and good rubber adaptability. As for whether hydraulic oil and hydraulic rail oil can be mixed, we can see from the above that they are different in nature, and their general nature determines their use. Therefore, hydraulic oil is suitable for all kinds of hydraulic systems, while rail oil is suitable for hydraulic systems and others. The combination of machine parts is also suitable for hydraulic elevators and the like. Secondly, in terms of function, hydraulic oil has anti-foaming, anti-wear, anti-rust properties, etc., while rail oil pays more attention to the accuracy of rail sliding. Their working environment requirements are also not uniform. Therefore, it can be seen from the differences in various aspects that hydraulic oil and hydraulic rail oil are two products with different properties and cannot be mixed.
