Life of tools depend a lot on the quality of your compressor. Separating humidity from the air prevents corrosion
on your air
power tools. Air filter regulators and lubricators are an important factor to keep your tools at a high
performance.

Because of Hydraulic Pulse Tools Mechanism, the type of joint directly affects performance and maintenance periods.
Just to give an example, Shut Off Hydraulic Pulse Tools might pulse for (1) second on a hard joint and (2) seconds on a
soft joint. These pulses inside pulse unit wears out Hydraulic Fluid and it looses consistency and begins to turn dark. The
longer the tool pulses on every run down, the faster the Fluid wears out.
The number of pulses/second determines the number of cycles; the number of cycles will determine the time frame for an
oil change. Pulsing time must be calculated for each individual application.
For Shut Off Tools, simply, chronometer the time the tool shuts off right after the bolt or nut is seated. What ever that
time was, divide it by 250,000 Pulses/Second (Mountz Hydraulic Pulse Tools Recommended Factor) to get the number
of cycles on the ones the tool will need an oil change.
For Non Shut Off Tools, the pulsing time is calculated almost the same way. It only defers from the time you release
the trigger as this tool wont stop by itself. So instead of monitoring the time the tool shuts off by itself, monitor the time
you release the trigger so the tools stops.
Example:
Cycles Calculation
If the joint chronometers 1.5 seconds pulsing time, than:
250,000 pulses per second / 1.5 seconds = 166,666 cycles or rundowns (bolts or nuts). It means that this tool, for this
specific application, must have an oil change every 166,666 cycles.
Number of Days before an oil change calculation
From the example above, divide 166,666 by the number of bolts or nuts fasten per day in your process to obtain number
of days before an oil change.
Say you have to fasten 2,500 bolts per day, than:
166,666 / 2,500 = 66 days for an oil change.
