Alternative to hydraulic oil in air over oil system
Alternative to hydraulic oil in air over oil system
(OP)
I'm reading a specification from an OEM that manufactures automotive lifts, and they say for air/oil systems NOT to use hydraulic oil as it can foam under air pressure. They then give some properties for a fluid that appear very similar to AW32 oil. Would anyone have any inclination about a possible alternative here?





RE: Alternative to hydraulic oil in air over oil system
steam turbine oils are known for their excellent air release properties and very low foaming tendency. thus, a ISO VG 32 steam turbine oil might be a alternative, as long as no antiwear properties are expressly required.
