The Reason of Hydraulic Steering Unit Leakage

Hydraulic steering unit leaks generally occur in the following ways:
1. Aging of seals: Seals such as O-rings and seals in the hydraulic steering gear will be aged and hardened, broken, etc. after long-term use, resulting in oil leakage.

2. Loose piping: If the piping connected to the hydraulic steering unit is not properly secured or the bolts are not tightened, it will easily lead to oil leakage from the piping.

3. Metal fatigue: Hydraulic steering gears are subjected to high pressure and high speed impacts during operation, and prolonged use will cause fatigue damage to their components, leading to fluid leakage.

4. External object impact: Because the hydraulic steering unit is generally installed in the prominent position of the import and export of vehicles, machinery, etc., it is often hit by external objects, scratches, impacts, etc., which is easy to cause the steering gear shell damage, resulting in oil leakage.

5. Excessive cleaning: Since hydraulic steering unit are often contaminated by pollutants during production and use, users will clean them. However, excessive cleaning will easily damage the internal seals, which will further cause hydraulic steering gear oil leakage.

How To Solve The Problem Of Hydraulic Steering Unit Oil Leakage?

After hydraulic steering unit leaks oil, it should be dealt with in a timely manner. Here are some possible methods:

1. Check the sealing parts of the hydraulic steering unit : Check if the sealing parts inside the hydraulic steering gear are hardened, aged, or damaged. If necessary, replace them with new components.

2. Check if the pipeline system is normal: Check if the pipeline system is properly tightened and all screws are tightened. If necessary, relevant repairs should be carried out in a timely manner.

3. Cleaning: There may be dirt in the gaps of the hydraulic steering unit, and professional hydraulic cleaning agents can be used for cleaning. After cleaning, the internal structure should be thoroughly rinsed.

4. Repair of hydraulic steering unit: If the above methods cannot solve the problem, it is necessary to thoroughly repair the hydraulic steering unit, such as using sealant, replacing worn or damaged components, or replacing the entire hydraulic steering unit.
5. Recheck: After all actions are completed, the machine and pipelines must be rechecked to ensure there are no signs of oil leakage. If there are still leaks, it is necessary to diagnose again and find the location of the problem for repair.
