👉 Consistency fluid, also known as base fluid or carrier oil, is a critical component in hydraulic systems, providing the necessary lubrication and reducing friction between moving parts. It ensures smooth operation by maintaining a stable, low-viscosity base that can flow easily under pressure while preventing metal-to-metal contact. This fluid also helps dissipate heat generated during operation and protects the system from wear and corrosion. Typically, consistency fluids are synthetic or semi-synthetic oils with additives that enhance their performance, such as anti-wear agents, extreme pressure additives, and viscosity modifiers, ensuring optimal system efficiency and longevity.
