How to Maintain the Hydraulic Bollard in Winter

How to Maintain the Hydraulic Bollard in Winter?

 

 

With the popularization of fully automatic hydraulic road bollards in various industries, the number of hydraulic road bollards has increased year by year. Different countries have large geographical spans and large differences in weather and temperature. Heavy snow falls in high-latitude cities, and the temperature drops sharply below zero. In the case of low extreme temperatures in winter, in order to ensure the normal use of fully automatic hydraulic road bollards, Jietian Technology provides users with basic problems and maintenance analysis suggestions.

1. Will the acid, alkali, and salt substances in the snow corrode the surface of the hydraulic bollard?
Snowflakes absorb and dissolve oxides in the air during their formation and descent. In extremely low temperatures, these snowflakes fall on the surface of the lifting road bollard and adhere to the equipment for a long time, which will cause corrosion to the metal. At present, some hydraulic road bollard manufacturers in the market blindly pursue low costs when purchasing metal raw materials for the bollard. The stainless steel materials they choose have extremely low corrosion resistance, which will cause damage to the road bollard whether it is snowing or raining.

Jietian Technology uses international standard #SU 304 stainless steel as the raw material of the bollard and processes it with a wire drawing process. It has good resistance to intergranular corrosion and excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, it has strong corrosion resistance to oxidizing acidic substances and good corrosion resistance to alkaline solutions and most organic acids and inorganic acids. Even after years of rain and snow, the appearance of Jietian's fully automatic hydraulic road bollard is still as new as ever.

 

2. Will the hydraulic bollard's hydraulic oil become viscous under extremely cold conditions in winter?

The fully automatic lifting bollard relies on hydraulic movement as the driving form. Suppose the fully automatic lifting bollard is compared to the human body. In that case, the hydraulic movement is like the heart in our human body, which is the power source of the lifting bollard, and the hydraulic oil is like the blood in the human body. In the entire hydraulic working system, hydraulic oil plays many roles in energy transmission, lubrication, corrosion prevention, rust prevention, cooling, etc. The blood is more unobstructed, and the hydraulic movement can be more efficient.

In the cold winter, whether the hydraulic system can work efficiently is closely related to the type and viscosity of the selected hydraulic oil. For hydraulic oil, viscosity is definitely one of the important factors to consider when selecting oil. The viscosity directly affects the friction and resistance generated on the system components and the fluidity of the hydraulic oil. Only high-quality and highly frost-resistant hydraulic oil can efficiently transmit hydraulic drive energy, ensure the normal use of the hydraulic bollard, and ensure that the lifting speed is not affected by the cold winter. If you only pursue product profits and choose poor-quality hydraulic oil, it will cause the hydraulic bollard not to rise or fall, or the lifting speed will be significantly slow. Under frequent use, the oil temperature will rise rapidly, and leakage and other problems will occur.

 

3. Will the snow penetrate into the interior of the fully automatic hydraulic road bollard after it melts?

After a heavy snowfall, the accumulated snow is often mixed with a lot of impurities, such as sand and dust. After melting into water, it will penetrate into the interior of the hydraulic road bollard equipment through the gaps. The internal structure of the fully automatic hydraulic road bollard is complex. Sometimes, a tiny particle that is invisible to the naked eye will cause the hydraulic bollard to fail to work properly, which poses a great test to the waterproof sealing of the fully automatic hydraulic road bollard.

The waterproof performance of Jietian's fully automatic hydraulic road bollard has reached the highest IP68 level in the industry. It has highly reliable sealing, which prevents fine particles from entering the core components and electrical components, causing hydraulic drive failures or reduced insulation performance of electrical components, causing short circuits or leakage, ensuring the normal use of motors and hydraulic units, and effectively extending the service life of electrical components.

4. Good daily maintenance is the key to extending the service life of hydraulic road bollards.
The fully automatic hydraulic bollard is like the car we usually drive. It consists of a drive system and many precision parts. If you only use it without maintenance, it may cause the hydraulic bollard to malfunction over time. In addition to regular inspections of screws and hydraulic oil, you should also check the drainage and daily cleaning of the equipment. As long as you master the correct maintenance methods, the service life of the fully automatic lifting hydraulic bollard can be effectively extended.

The impact of extreme cold weather on electrical automation equipment is complex and multifaceted. It requires manufacturers to have a sufficient understanding of product technology and rich installation and maintenance experience to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Jietian Technology has a professional technical service team. Since its establishment in 2006, it has completed tens of thousands of project cases and has more than ten years of experience in the installation and maintenance of lifting hydraulic road bollards.
