2nd Half Second Semester Flashcards
Gerotor
black ring around motor
Wider gerotor, more surface area, more torque
Function of Oil
Transmits energy/power
Double Acting Cylinder
2 directions
Reservoir Purposes
- Hold oil
- helps cool the oil
- places for extra oil to go
- allows oil to rest, foreign matter in oil allowed to sink to bottom of reservoir
Advantages of Hydraulics
- Variable Speed
- Very Easily Reversible
- Overload (easy to avoid, won’t even try)
- Usually components are smaller, size matters
- Can be stalled without hurting anything
- Quiet (the actuator) - can separate loud vs. quiet parts
Cubic inches of a gallon (magic number)
231 cubic inches of a gallon
How determine torque in rotary actuator?
Torque determined by pressure & area oil is pushing -load on motor determines pressure because it’s resisting flow of oil into actuator -area & psi tell torque = load
0.0007 assumes?
80%
Reducing coupling
up
Converts smaller to bigger pipe
Proportional Valve
Electrical directional control that can control flow, can move spool cooly under control
Every system should have a _____
Filter
Union
Can move sections of pipe without twisting pipe
What does gauge read in Tandem Center?
Zero
Cavitation
not getting enough fluid for what the pump wants
Symptoms that air might be in oil
Noisy, things don’t operate the way they should
Why does cylinder slow @ end of stroke?
Air cushion
-Retract is faster because less area to push oil into when cylinder is extended
How heavy is gallon of oil?
6#’s
Precharge
when charging up accumulator
What does flow control do?
Controls the speed of the actuator
Which flow control method is preferred?
Meter Out
Don’t use bypass, will pull oil out because it’s the pass of least resistance
Proper name of Tandem Center/all control valves
“4 way direction lever operated spring tandem center conrol valve”
Figure out amps in system
746 watts/HP
flow gauge says 2 gpm @ 300psi 2gpm*300psi*0.0007=0.42
- 42*746=313.32
- 32/120=2.6 amps
What happens when we compress compressible fluid?
If compress 1/2, pressure will double
Nitrogen is compressible fluid, oil is not
Decrease volume by 1/2, pressure will double
3 options for flow control
- Meter In
- Meter Out
- Bypass
Single Acting Cylinder
-Retract by a spring, gravity, a person, etc -forklift mast, pallet jack
Why would pressure gauge differ from flow gauge?
Pres. Relief Valve is setting the pressure, some flow being diverted @ PRV, going back to tank, that’s why pressure gauge <flow>
</flow>
Tubing is measured in ______
OD
