hydraulic valve problem?

My hydraulic supplier made me up an inline gauge today, which means I just remove one end of a pipe, and put the gauge in place.

I tried it today on the pipe from the 4 way section leading to themlevers for the tracks. When I operate the tracks, I get 10bar.

its going into the manufacturer tomorrow as I am picking another machine up off them anyway. They should get to the bottom of it

seen a video on youtube the other day that shows how to find a blockage in a hydraulic system with a cheap handheld non contact infrared thermometer

 

The theory being where the oil is working harder to pass the blockage that part is hotter than the rest of the system due to more friction.

I saw something similar. Just a question of getting hold of such a device!

Well. The valve block had an internal fault. It would have had to be sent away to a specialist, so they replaced it with a secondhand one free of charge. Machine is not even in warranty, so very good of them really.

 

sounds more like an inherent fault if the dealer replaced it for nowt
