Valve.
If external secondary relief block(s) are utilized on
the circuit they must be adjusted to correct
operating pressure also.
 Consult specific attachment manufacturer for correct
operating pressure specification.

FLOW
 Auxiliary circuit must have proper oil flow setting to
prevent attachment damage and insure proper
attachment operation.
This is typically accomplished by adjusting auxiliary
spool pilot shift pressure on the auxiliary spool pilot
valve.
If secondary pilot valve(s) are utilized on the circuit
they must be adjusted to attain the correct
operating flow also.
 Consult specific attachment manufacturer for correct
oil flow specification.

EXCAVATOR SETTINGS
 If Auxiliary circuit utilizes excavator components
(factory installed) during or to control attachment
operations, consult OEM documentation for proper
settings and operation for specific application.
These OEM components typically are excavator
monitor settings, excavator CPU programming,
and OEM supplied relief cartridges.
These OEM components typically control items
such as work mode, switch valves, and monitor
controlled pilot valves.

LOCK OUT VALVES & SWITCH VALVES


 Auxiliary circuits often use manual or automatically
controlled ball valves to control oil flow direction or
to lock out a specific attachment.
These valves must be in the correct position to
insure proper attachment operation and avoid
attachment damage.

TS_O-rings 1 of 4 11-01-07

Typical Causes
• Abrasives in system fluids
• Excessive temperatures
• Inadequate system lubrication due to gland surface being too smooth
• Incorrect lubrication by system fluid
• Rough gland surfaces

Typical Solutions
• Eliminate contamination; add or change filters
• Finish gland surface appropriately
• Select internally lubricated O-rings to reduce friction
Abrasion is typically a factor in dynamic seal applications. • Select material with better resistance to abrasion
Look for a flat area on one side only where the seal • Select material with better system compatibility
touches the moving surface. • Select system fluid to provide adequate lubrication

Typical Causes
• Chemical incompatibility

Typical Solutions
• Select chemically-compatible material

Chemical degradation can cause blisters, cracks, voids,


or discoloration.

Typical Causes
• Excessive squeeze from an over tight gland
• Excessive temperature as a result of system fluids, external environmental factors
or frictional heat build-up causing the O-ring to harden and lose elastic properties
• Improper gland design
• Incomplete curing (vulcanization) of material during production
• Introduction of an incompatible fluid
• Material has inherently poor compression set properties
• Volume swell due to system fluid
Typical Solutions
• Control frictional heat and/or control system operating temperature
Compression set is the single most common cause
• Inspect O-ring on shipment to match specified characteristics
of O-ring failure. Look for flat surfaces on both sides
• Use a material featuring low compression set characteristics
of the O-ring's cross section creating a flat-sided oval.
• Use a material that is compatible with actual conditions

Typical Causes
• Deposits from system process
• Seal degradation prior to assembly
• Inappropriate seal material

Typical Solutions
• Control seal manufacturing and packaging
• Select appropriate seal material

Contamination will result in foreign material on


the seal.

TS_O-rings 2 of 4 11-02-07

Typical Causes
• Chemical incompatibility
• Environmental incompatibility of material
• Excessive humidity
• The O-ring absorbs system fluids and swells

Typical Solutions
• Select a system-compatible material

Excessive swell is most common in high-friction


dynamic applications. Look for absorption of
system fluids, sponginess, swelling and unusual
wear.

Typical Causes
• Gas absorption
• Rapid system pressure drop traps gas in O-ring material micro-pores

Typical Solutions
• Increase decompression time
• Increase material hardness (+90 durometer)
• Reduce cross-section
• Select a decompression-compatible material (i.e. nitrile)

Explosive decompression can occur in systems featuring


gases under high pressure. Look for deep short splits or
ruptures in the cross section or small blisters on the
surface of the O-ring.

Typical Causes
• Degradation (swelling, softening, shrinking, cracking, etc.) caused by system fluid
• Excessive clearances/pressure
• Irregular clearance gaps caused by gland or seal eccentricity
• O-ring too large for groove
• Sharp edges on gland
• Too soft an elastomer
Typical Solutions
• Enhance rigidity of gland components
• Machine gland's sharp edges to an acceptable minimum radius (0.1 in)
Extrusion / nibbling is typical of O-rings installed in • Properly size O-rings
high-pressure systems. Look for chips taken out of • Reduce machining tolerances and decrease clearances
the edges of the O-ring, normally on the • Select harder material (90 derometer +), select system-compatible material
low-pressure (downstream) side of the gland. • Try different seal shape or use back-up rings

Typical Causes
• Evaporation of plasticizers caused by excessive temperatures
• Hardening caused by excessive temperatures
• Oxidative cracking caused by excessive temperatures

Typical Solutions
• Reduce operating temperatures
• Select high temperature material
• Select material with antioxidants

To identify heat hardening and oxidation, look for


pits and crack and possibly the flat edges as seen
in compression set.

TS_O-rings 3 of 4 11-02-07

Typical Causes
• Carelessness
• Contaminated O-ring, gland or system components
• Insufficient lead-in chamfer or lubrication prior to assembly
• O-ring twisted or pinched at assembly
• Sharp threads, edges on the gland or other system components
• Too large an O-ring on a piston or too small an O-ring on a rod
Typical Solutions
• Clean all components prior to assembly
• Install O-rings carefully
Installation damage usually causes short cuts, • Reduce edge sharpness; tape sharp threads and edges
notches, skinning, or peeling on the surface of • Select a system-compatible lubricant
the O-ring. • Specify an appropriate lead-in chamfer
• Use appropriate size and material

Typical Causes
• Eccentric component
• Flash or parting lines left on seal
• Improper sizing
• No compression
• Tolerance stack-up

Typical Solutions
• Allow for seal expansion
• Check for increased stretch
• Design to match tolerance stack-up for all system components
• Maintain appropriate compression
In some cases of failure, there is no evidence of • Remove flash and parting lines
failure visible on the seal.

Typical Causes
• Improper or improperly cured elastomer
• High vacuum levels
• Low hardness/plasticized elastomer

Typical Solutions
• Avoid plasticized elastomers
• Ensure all seals are properly post-cured to minimize outgassing

This failure is often very difficult to detect from


examination of the seal. The seal may exhibit a
decrease in cross-sectional size.

Typical Causes
• Improper design—failure to account for thermal or chemical volume changes,
or excessive compression

Typical Solutions
• Gland design should take into account material responses to chemical and thermal
environments

The seal exhibits parallel flat surfaces


(corresponding to the contact areas) and may
develop circumferential splits within the
flattened surfaces.

TS_O-rings 4 of 4 11-02-07

Typical Causes
• Ozone degrades O-ring material
• Pollutants degrade O-ring material

Typical Solutions
• Select ozone resistant material
• Select chemically-compatible material

This condition is typical when the seal is exposed


to air pollutants or ozone. Look for small surface
cracks running perpendicular to direction of stress.

Typical Causes
• Chemical reactivity of plasma
• Heat due to electron bombardment
• Inadequate gland design
• Ion bombardment (sputtering)
• System-incompatible material

Typical Solutions
• Minimize seal exposure to plasma
• Re- design gland
The seal often exhibits discoloration, as well as • Select plasma-compatible material
powdered residue on the surface and possible
erosion of elastomer in the exposed areas.

Typical Causes
• Eccentricity of components
• Incorrect lubrication
• O-ring pinched or rolled in assembly
• Rough surface finishes
• Side load applications with too wide a clearance
• Slow stroke speed
• Too soft an O-ring material

Typical Solutions
• Look for out-of-round eccentric components
Spiral failure is common to hydraulic piston • Proper surface finishes
(long stroke) and rod seal applications. Look • Select harder O-ring material
for deep, angled (45˚) cuts on the seal's surface. • Select proper lubricant
• Try different seal shape

Typical Causes
• Elastomer thermal properties
• Excessive temperature excursions or cycling

Typical Solutions
• Selection of an elastomer with improved thermal stability
• Evaluation of the possibility of cooling sealing surfaces

The seal may exhibit radial cracks located on the


highest temperature surfaces. In addition, certain
elastomers may exhibit signs of softening—a shiny
surface as a result of excessive temperatures.
