At Rotec Hydraulics, a Parker Certified Hydraulic Technology Centre with over 45 years of experience, we advocate businesses to adopt a proactive approach to hydraulic pump maintenance.
Preventative care is far more cost-effective than reactive repairs, which is why we offer flexible preventative maintenance service contracts to help clients avoid costly and unexpected system failures.
Proactive Hydraulic Pump Maintenance
Hydraulic pumps are at the heart of hydraulic systems. However, without regular maintenance, their performance can quickly degrade, leading to inefficiency, increased energy consumption, and catastrophic failures.
Routine maintenance and inspection are crucial because:
They prevent expensive breakdowns: A small, easily fixed issue, like a worn seal or contaminated fluid, can escalate into a complete pump failure, requiring a full and costly replacement.
They extend equipment life: Regular servicing and timely replacement of components—such as seals, bearings, and filters—significantly extend the operational life of the pump.
They improve efficiency: Clean, well-maintained pumps operate at peak performance, reducing energy waste and ensuring the system performs as designed.
A thorough strip-down and inspection is recommended every 2,000 to 4,000 operating hours or as indicated by the manufacturer. This may also be reduced if operating in a particularly harsh environment. Rotec’s in-depth service allows technicians to identify internal wear and tear that isn’t visible during routine checks.
