Which is better, mineral oil or synthetic oil, when buying hydraulic oil for a busbar machine?

After nearly 50 days of shipping, our Argentine customer finally received our factory SS-30-3CNC busbar machine. However, our Argentine customer Silvio Dammiano asked me a question, “HM 46# anti-wear hydraulic oil, mineral oil or synthetic oil, which one is better?”

In fact, in China, few customers will ask this question, and even professional busbar machine technical engineers will not pay attention to this issue. Why do few people pay attention to this issue? Because the hydraulic oil sold in the Chinese market is mineral oil, which is affordable and can meet the normal use of busbar machines. Learn more about how to choose hydraulic oil.

So, when buying hydraulic oil for busbar machines, should we choose mineral oil or synthetic oil?

When choosing between mineral oil and synthetic oil for the HM 46# anti-wear hydraulic oil used in busbar machines, the following factors need to be considered:

• Working environment: If the busbar machine works in high temperature or extreme environments, synthetic oil usually performs better because it has higher thermal stability and oxidation resistance and is not easy to decompose and fail at high temperatures.
• Equipment requirements: Some busbar machines may explicitly require the use of a certain type of hydraulic oil in the manual. If the equipment manufacturer recommends the use of synthetic oil, it is safer and more compliant to choose synthetic oil.
• Service life and maintenance cost: Synthetic oils generally have a longer service life, so maintenance costs can be reduced when less frequent oil changes are required. Although the initial cost of synthetic oil is higher, it may be more economical from the perspective of long-term use and equipment protection.
• Anti-wear performance: Generally speaking, synthetic hydraulic oils have superior anti-wear performance and can better protect the hydraulic system of equipment under high pressure and heavy load conditions.

If the budget allows and the equipment works under harsh conditions such as high temperature and heavy load, choosing synthetic HM 46# anti-wear hydraulic oil may be a better choice. If the equipment working environment is relatively mild and the budget is limited, mineral oil is also a reliable choice. The final choice should be based on the busbar machine manufacturer’s recommendations and actual working conditions.
