What to do if your hydraulic power unit is leaking oil?

Check for oil leaks at the intake pipe [1]. If there are leaks, clean the threads on the intake pipe [1]. Reapply thread sealant, and install the intake pipe [1]. If the symptom persists, go to the Tank Reconfiguration section to reconfigure the pipes.

Why is there a leak in my hydraulic system?

Due to the high pressure, and constant motion of the rams, motors and pump, it’s not unusual to find leaks in your hydraulic system even with proper maintenance.   You will notice these leaks possibly by a lack of power or force in your system, or more obviously in a fluid leak or drip.

What to do if your hydraulic unit is not working?

Chuck or tailstock does not operate correctly. Or incorrect chuck or tailstock clamp force or pressure. The solenoid system does not operate correctly. Troubleshoot the system. There are air bubbles in the oil. Reduce the clamp force, RPM, or duty cycle. Inspect for oil leaks on the intake pipe. Re-configure the return and pick-up pipes.

Is it possible to replace a hydraulic seal?

Replacing hydraulic seals is a difficult job that often requires specialty tools and a detailed knowledge of the system. Also, the close tolerances and smooth machined surfaces in the system make many of the components susceptible to damage if improperly handled or if the wrong tool is used.
