Q

What is a positive output pump

A

A pump which has the same output as input

24
Q

What is a non positive output pump

A

It is a pump which can be stalled/ load can overcome the output and output will be slower/ not the same

25
Q

What is a variable pump

A
26
Q

What pump can be fixed and variable

A

A vane pump

27
Q

What is an open loop hydraulic circuit

A

It is from reservoir to reservoir

28
Q

What is a closed loop system

A

It has no reservoir the oil is always stuck in one system

29
Q

What is the minimum volumetric efficacy a pump should be giving out

A

60 percent

30
Q

What is a closed centre system

A
31
Q

What is cavitation

A

It is small pockets of nothing where molecules split and stretch causing pitting due to lack of oil

32
Q

What is aeration and how do you find it

A

It is when air gets into a system causing sponginess , foam and bubbling this can be found by finding the hole using oil and seeing it bubble

33
Q

What is swash plate cavitation

A

It is where demand exceeds supply and it runs the plate dry or low on oil causing lack of oil and therefore pitting on components

34
Q

How do you know how efficient a hydraulic pump is being

A

Check the rating if the spec is 20 gpm and the pump is giving out 16 it is 80 percent efficient

If it is low check filters and oil to perhaps improve efficacy

35
Q

What is a pressure control device and what does it do

A

It limits maximum pressure, provides redirection of pump flow when it must be maintained ( unloading )
It also provides redirection while not maintained ( off loading )
Alternate flow for pressure seqencing
Reduce or step down pressure for a sub circuit

36
Q

What is an example of a pressure control device

A

Relif valve / unloding valve / pressure seqencing valve / pressure reducing valve / counter balance valve

37
Q

What is cracking pressure

A

It is the pressure needed to overcome the spring to release oil

38
Q

What is a compound relief valve

A

2 relif valves in 1 one small one big to allow for surges

39
Q

What is a sequencing valve

A

It is a pressure relief valve which allows a next circuit to work after that one has pressurised

40
Q

What is a pressure reducing device

A

It is a device which always ensures pressure is correct for a component

41
Q

What is a counter balance valve

A

Allows rhe system to be smooth and predictable with unexpected loads, using a solenoid , it is variable

42
Q

Why would you use nitrogen in an accumulator

A

Because it is inert and safe

43
Q

What does an attenuator do

A

It reduces noise and pulses through a system

44
Q

What makes a cylinder non differential

A

It means it can put more force outward than inward due to surface area of cylinder

45
Q

What is the difference between a ram and cylinder

A

A ram is bigger than 50 percent of the housing

46
Q

How would you know a pilot check valve is broken

A

It will creep as valve should block flow until other is opened

47
Q

What is drift rate

A

It is how fast a cylinder will drop if left with load on it

48
Q

What is cycle time

A

It is how long it takes for a ram to power out and retract

49
Q

What is the iso number for hydraulic oil cleanliness

A
50
Q

What are 2 simple checks for a hydraulic front loader

A

Drift rate and cycle time

51
Q

What way do the arrows face on a oil cooler

A

Facing out

52
Q

When referring to a planetary gear transmission how could Infinitely variable gear range be achieved

A

By adding a hydraulic motor and pump

53
Q

How is direct drive achieved in a planetary carrier

A

Locking 2 components together

54
Q

How is reverse achieved in a planetary gear set

A

Holding the planetary carrier

55
Q

What is a hydraulic filter clearance

A

5 ųm

56
Q

What is a hydraulic system clearance

A

5 to 13 microns

57
Q

What can hydraulic injection cause

A

Gangrene
