Hydralic Princables Flashcards
What does a steering orbital do
Allows for assistance in steering larger vehicles and allows a fixed steering system even if the machine is inoperable
How does a steering orbital spring back into place
Using leaf springs which also create steering resistance
What does open centre mean
It means always working
What is flow
Cause by difference in pressure at 2 points
What is velocity
It is average speed of which particles pass a point
Speed in a given direction
What is flow rate
Volume of liquid passing a point at a given time
What is laminar flow
Flow which is smooth and uninterrupted
What is turbulent flow
Flow which is irrational and causes heat to form
Does pressure drop after an orafice
Yes because the pressure is build up before the orafice, once it passes it drops down
How does Bernulies princable work
As pressure decreases above an object velocity will increase and pull it up
If on a hydraulic schematic an object is in a dotted box what does this mean
It is one component
What does a fluid conditioning device look like on a schematic
It is a square
What does a closed centre drawing look like
All ends are closed off nothing is working
What does an open centre drawing look like
It is like an open goal or a big h all working
What does a tandem drawing look like
It is a crying clown bottom 2 are connected and top 2 are capped off
What does a float centre drawing look like
It is a 4 all are allowed to connect other than the pump therefore making it float
What does a rotary device look like on a schematic
It is a circle
If the arrow points in on a rotary device what does this make it
A motor
What does it mean if there are 2 arrows on a rotary device
It means it is bidirectional
What would be written on a pump rating plate
Max discharge pressure PSI
flow output at max driven speed LPM
and displacement per pump shaft revolution CCM
What does a pump do
Convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy
What does a hydraulic motor do
Convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy
