Lecture Day 2 Flashcards
Contaminated fluid is one of the most common causes of hydraulic system troubles
Removes contaminates before reaching components
Line Filters
Pressure or return (common) lines
Placement
Construction – Element, bowl, head
Filter Bowl – Drain at lowest point
Filter head – Inlet/outlet and BYPASS
Types of Elements
Most Common – Micronic Type (Surface filter)
Disposable – treated cellulose with pleated paper.
Cuno Filter (Edge Filter)– Stacked (pressure side)
Differential Pressure Indicator (DPI) provides visual indication the filter is becoming clogged with debris; provides visual warning of impending filter By-Pass
Contaminated fluid is one of the most common cause of hydraulic system troubles
Most Common Filter – Micronic Type
Filtering Size 10 – 25 Microns
Disposable – treated cellulose with pleated paper.
Pump converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy (in this case muscle)
HAND OPERATING HYDRAULIC PUMPS
Hand pumps – emergency (back-ups) if primary fails
HAND OPERATING HYDRAULIC PUMPS
Double action / Movement in either direction = flow
HAND OPERATING HYDRAULIC PUMPS
A filter is rated by the size of particles it will remove, and these sizes are measured in microns, with one micron equal to one millionth of a meter or 0.000039 inch.
POWER-DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMPS
Four Basic Types
Gear
Vane
Diaphragm
Piston
POWER-DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMPS
Pumps are coupled to their driving units using drive coupling
Shear Shaft
Drain Port Seal Drain – Shaft Seal Leaking
