Required Properties of Hydraulic Fluids

The condition in which surfaces are Moving plate
completely separated by a continuous
film of lubricating fluid is commonly
referred to as hydrodynamic or full fluid
film lubrication.
Under full film lubrication, the lubricant
immediately adjacent to each surface Stationary plate
travels at the same speed and direction
of each surface. Fluid speed gradually
changes across the film as it changes
from the speed of the upper plate to
the that of the lower plate.
Full film lubrication may fail due to low
lubricant viscosity, or high oil
compressibility. An increase in speed or
viscosity increases oil film thickness. An
increase in load decreases oil film
thickness.

Required Properties of Hydraulic Fluids: Viscosity
In pneumatic applications, air is the only gas commonly used. It has the
following advantages:
It is inexpensive and readily available.
It is fire resistant.
It is not messy.
It can be exhausted back to the atmosphere.
