Hydraulics And Pneumatics Flashcards
Pascal’s law:
The pressure of an enclosed liquid is transmitted equally and undimished to all points of the container.
The law of conservation of energy:
Energy can neither be created or destroyed, but the form of that energy can be changed in order to use it.
Bernoulli’s principle:
As long as total energy in a flow of liquid remains constant, any increase in velocity of the fluid will result in a decrease of pressure.
A _____ controls the rate of actuator movement by limiting the flow of fluid into or out of the actuator.
Restrictor.
If to much fluid flows through the system for normal operation, the ____ will shut off all flow.
Hydraulic fuse.
A reservoir used to supply additional fluid to a brake system as brake pads wear down:
Brake reservoir with a Compensator port.
