How to understand that it's time to replace the hydraulic pump?!

Hydraulic pumps are a key component of many machines, including excavators. Without a properly functioning pump, the machine may not work properly, which can lead to serious damage and failure. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the condition of the hydraulic pumps and replace them when they become too worn. In this article, we will discuss how to tell when it is time to replace the hydraulic pump on your excavator.

The first sign that the hydraulic pump needs to be replaced is a decrease in excavator performance. If the excavator starts to run slower than usual or is unable to do its job, the hydraulic pump may be worn out and needs to be replaced. Reduction in performance may be a result of an internal damage to the pump or contamination of the operating fluid.

The second signal that the hydraulic pump needs to be replaced is the noise that the machine makes. If the excavator starts to run louder than usual, the hydraulic pump may be worn out and needs to be replaced. Noise may be caused by internal damage to the pump or leakage of operating fluid.

The third sign that the hydraulic pump needs to be replaced is a leak in the working fluid. If you notice that the excavator is losing working fluid, you probably have a faulty hydraulic pump. Leakage may occur on the internal components of the pump or on the outer casing.

If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a hydraulic specialist who will make a thorough diagnosis and recommend whether the hydraulic pump needs to be replaced or repaired. It is important not to ignore these signals as a faulty hydraulic pump can cause serious machine problems.

When replacing the hydraulic pump, carefully refer to the nameplate on the machine for the genuine part number. The full part number of the original hydraulic pump is crucial in choosing the right replacement pump. It is important to choose the right model of hydraulic pump, as a mismatch can lead to machine failure. It is best to use the help of a hydraulics specialist who will choose the right model.
