If the quality of the internal oil of the clutch hydraulic bearing changes, what is the impact on its operation?
Publish Time: 2024-08-10
The normal operation of the clutch hydraulic bearing depends on the high-quality oil inside it. When the quality of the oil changes, it will have many effects on its operation.
First, if impurities such as dust and metal particles are mixed in the oil, these impurities will flow with the oil inside the bearing. During the operation of the bearing, impurities may be embedded in the friction surface of the bearing, resulting in increased surface roughness. This will not only increase the friction and increase the resistance of the bearing operation, but also cause local stress concentration. Over time, it will accelerate the wear of the bearing and reduce its service life. In addition, impurities may block the small channels in the hydraulic system, affecting the normal flow and pressure transmission of the hydraulic oil, and then affecting the clutch action accuracy and response speed.
Secondly, when the viscosity of the oil changes, it will also have a significant impact. If the viscosity of the oil increases, the fluidity will deteriorate. In hydraulic bearings, this will cause the pressure transmission of the hydraulic system to become sluggish, making the clutch engagement and separation actions become unsmooth. For example, in situations where rapid clutching is required, delays may occur, affecting the vehicle's handling performance. On the contrary, if the viscosity of the oil is reduced, although the fluidity is enhanced, it may not form a thick enough oil film to support the normal operation of the bearing. This will lead to insufficient lubrication of the bearing surface and increase the possibility of direct contact between metals, which will aggravate wear and may even cause problems such as bearing overheating.
In addition, changes in oil quality may also affect its heat dissipation performance. High-quality oil can effectively remove the heat generated during the operation of the bearing. However, if the quality of the oil decreases, such as due to oxidation or contamination, its heat dissipation ability may be weakened. This will cause the bearing temperature to rise, further affecting the performance of the oil and the material properties of the bearing, reducing the strength and hardness of the bearing and making it more susceptible to damage. In short, maintaining the high quality of the oil inside the Clutch hydraulic bearing is essential for its normal, stable and efficient operation. The oil quality needs to be checked and maintained regularly to ensure the good performance of the Clutch hydraulic bearing.
