Professional Excavator Hydraulic Pump Maintenance Guide

As the "heart" component of excavators, hydraulic pumps require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. As hydraulic system solution experts, Guangdong Haozheng Hydraulic Equipment Co., Ltd. presents this comprehensive maintenance guide for excavator hydraulic pumps (especially plunger pumps) to maximize equipment service life.

7 Critical Maintenance Steps Explained

1. Daily Inspection: Foundation of Preventive Maintenance

• Fastener Check: Weekly inspection of pump mounting bolts (refer to manual for torque values)

• Pipeline Inspection: Focus on inlet/outlet connections for leaks (use fluorescent leak detector for precision)

• Environment Management: Keep pump surroundings clean (Guangdong Haozheng recommends adding protective covers)

2. Seal Cleaning: Extending Seal Life

• Monthly cleaning with specialized cleaner (e.g., Haozheng HC-5 Cleaner)

• Check for abnormal wear at shaft seals (normal wear <0.1mm/1000h)

3. Hydraulic Fluid Management: System "Blood" Maintenance

4. Plunger Pump Special Care

• Initial Startup: Must pre-fill with oil (use Haozheng special filling tool)

• After Long Storage:

  1. Manual rotation 3-5 turns

  2. Low-pressure start (≤50% rated pressure)

  3. Air bleeding (until oil is bubble-free)

5. Professional Repair Environment Standards

• Cleanliness: ISO 4406 16/14/11

• Temperature: 15-30℃

• Humidity: ≤60%RH (Haozheng service centers feature temperature-controlled clean rooms)

6. Wear Parts Replacement Plan

• Mandatory Replacements:

  • Shaft seals (every 2000 hrs)

  • Filters (every 500 hrs)

  • Plunger slippers (as needed)

• Recommended: Haozheng OEM parts (30-50% longer lifespan than aftermarket)

7. New Machine Break-in Protocol

• First 100 hours: Limit load to 80% of rated capacity

• Monitor:

  • Oil temperature (<80℃)

  • Noise level (≤75dB normal)

  • Vibration (axial ≤0.05mm)

Haozheng Professional Recommendations

1. Maintenance Records: Document all service data and abnormalities

2. Smart Monitoring: Install IoT sensors for real-time pump status

3. Professional Service: Annual comprehensive inspection by Haozheng engineers
