Generally, hydraulic oils are used in track motors to provide lubrication and power transmission. These oils are specially formulated to withstand the high pressures and temperatures encountered in hydraulic systems. They also contain additives to prevent wear, corrosion, and oxidation.
Common types of hydraulic oils used in track motors include:
- ISO 68 Hydraulic Oil: A medium-viscosity hydraulic oil suitable for a wide range of temperatures and applications.
- ISO 100 Hydraulic Oil: A higher viscosity hydraulic oil that provides better protection against wear in high-pressure systems.
- ISO 150 Hydraulic Oil: A very high viscosity hydraulic oil used in extreme conditions or for heavy-duty applications.
It is important to use the correct type of hydraulic oil as specified by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the track motor. Using an incorrect oil can lead to premature wear, damage, or even failure of the motor.
