When a hydraulic system leaks, it's easy to blame the seal. But the real cause is often more complex than that. In a new article from Power & Motion, our own Trevor Combs makes the case for a systems-thinking approach to hydraulic leakage. Key takeaways include: - Leakage rarely stems from a single component - it results from the interplay between the counter surface, hydraulic fluid and the sealing system - Balancing lubrication and leakage is one of the most critical (and overlooked) challenges in seal design - Advanced technologies like back-pumping seals and pressure relief solutions are helping engineers build more reliable, leak-free systems Read the full article now: https://bit.ly/4e9g2CC
