[Text displays]

{The importance of selecting zinc-free fluids that

meet the challenging Bosch Rexroth standard}

[Animated sequence]

{The words disappear, leaving the screen as a yellow rectangle. The rectangle shrinks towards the vanishing point and a diagram of laboratory equipment, inside a red-bordered rectangle, takes up most of the screen. The yellow rectangle has become a yellow square with a red border superimposed over the centre of the diagram. Inside the square are the letters “Zn” in a red circle diagonally crossed through by a red line. Around the circle are the atomic number for zinc (30), the word “Zinc” and the atomic weight for zinc (65.38). A partial yellow rectangle appears from the bottom-right corner and on it containing text that appears as if being typed.}

{Meanwhile, a drawing of an excavator in a red-bordered rectangle moves quickly from the right to cover the previous drawing, the yellow box with a red border at the centre changes to contain a drawing of a hydraulic cylinder with a shimmering star representing cleanliness appearing next to it inside the smaller box. Red circles appear on the excavator identifying the bucket cylinder, arm cylinder and boom cylinder. At the same time, text appears as a footnote below the drawing of the excavator.

{reducing ecotoxicity¹}

[Animated sequence]

{The liquid drop rhombus shrinks towards the vanishing point. A white rectangle appears from the right and quickly covers the excavator rectangle. The bottom-right yellow box disappears. Two containers, one on the left marked with the same crossed-out “Zn” with accompanying information mentioned above and one on the right, appear and grow in size. Four different quality-control symbols appear vertically aligned in between the two containers. They split up, the top two ones moving left to be next to the zinc-free container and the bottom two moving towards the unmarked container. A red question mark appears above each container. Then the two bottom-right quality control symbols move left to vertically align with the top two symbols next to the zinc-free container. The screen goes white and text appears as if being typed.}

[Voiceover]

{Are you put off, owing to concerns about wear protection and potential impact on warranties? The truth is that not all hydraulic oils are the same and not all zinc-free fluids have data to back ecotoxicity assumptions. }

[Text displays]

{So how do you decide

which fluid to select?}

[Animated sequence]

{A red-bordered rectangle moves in quickly from the right to cover this text. Inside the rectangle is a drawing of a hydraulic cylinder, which pumps, and a red and yellow gauge. Another partial yellow box appears in the bottom right corner inside which text appears as if being typed.}

[Voiceover]

{So how do you decide which fluid to select? Today’s hydraulic fluids need to work harder, for longer, with lower environmental impact.}

[Animated sequence]

{The cylinder continues to pump and the liquid rhombus shrinks. The yellow box, its text and the footnote text disappear. The rectangle at the centre is replaced by a slightly larger rectangle, inside which is an axial piston unit whose pistons are pumping. Four horizontal yellow lines appear to the right of the drawing and still inside the red-bordered rectangle. The top line is thicker than the others. The word “performance” appears to the left of the lines, at a 90-degree angle. On the bottom line “DIN ISO” appears.

{They need fluids with performance beyond established DIN and ISO standards. To help, Bosch Rexroth has developed tougher tests that are scientifically sound, standardised and independent. Fluids are rigorously tested at high loads over several hundred operating hours, putting them under 13 times more stress than existing standards. These tests represent real conditions and have been verified in multiple operations. Results differentiate fluids by showing the severity of wear on the axial piston unit and component compatibility including with seals.}

Fluids that meet the Bosch Rexroth requirements are included in its Fluid Rating List RDE 90245. They also get a quality label, so you can easily recognise listed fluids. The demand for high-quality, zinc-free hydraulic fluids is increasing, driven by a focus on reducing deposit formation, improving metal and seal compatibility, and lowering environmental impact.}
