CONTAMINATION
CAUSE Effect
• Improper filtration
• Accelerated wear
• Low oil level - concentration –bearings, thrust plates,
of contaminant housing
11. The damage that occurred to this gear set FOREIGN OBJECT
was caused by a hardened foreign object such as
a screw or nut. Additional debris has been DAMAGE
generated by the broken gear teeth and
component scoring. This type of failure can
contaminate the entire hydraulic system.

COINING
Torsional fatigue can also cause a shaft to fail, having a similar appearance to the above
shaft. With torsional fatigue failure, however, the core of the shaft across the break has a
smeared appearance caused by repeated forces and a gradual wearing out of the shaft. (A
sudden break is characterized by a rough granular shaft core.) Torsion forces acting on
the shaft in the same direction tend to cause a break at a 450 angle to the shaft axis.
