Enerpac Hydraulic Oil
All oils are not alike. The correct oil will protect moving parts and will not damage seals.
Using the wrong oil will damage your equipment and lead to malfunctions. Use Enerpac premium hydraulic oil.
The most important oil characteristic is viscosity. Heat is also an important factor.
See the chart below for details.
Characteristic | Enerpac Specifications | Effects |
---|---|---|
Viscosity | 42-45 SUS @ 210⁰F [5.3-5.4 cSt @100⁰C] 150-165 SUS @ 100⁰F [30-32 cSt @ 40⁰C] | Viscosity describes the ability of an oil to flow. If the oil is too thin, there is not enough lubrication. If the oil is too thick, it will not flow fast enough to perform as required. |
Operating Temperature | 150⁰F [65⁰C] maximum | High temperatures also cause seal damage. In general, if the system is too hot to touch, it is too hot to use. |
REMEMBER: Always dispose of used oil properly. Observe local ordinances. Do not mix used hydraulic oil with other fluids.
