17
Q

Wish swash plate control, regulates the flow to suit any given load

Limits the maximum pressure in the system

A

Load sensing compensator

Pressure limiting compensator

18
Q

When you install a load sensing pump what must the load sensor be set at to bring the bias piston back to full stroke

A

200-400 psi

19
Q

Does the space between the vanes increase or decrease at the inlet

A

Increase

20
Q

How is output flow increased on an unbalanced vane pump

A

By moving the cam further off Center

21
Q

What is the rotation of a factory built vane pump

A

Right hand

22
Q

On a gear pump do gears go into or come out of mesh at inlet

A

Come out of mesh

23
Q

Fro what end of the pump is the rotation defined

A

Drive end

24
Q

How do you change the direction of rotation in a balanced vane pump

A

Flip over cam ring, rotor and flex plate assembly

25
Q

What pump is more compact balance or Unbalanced vane

A

Balance vane

26
Q

Pumping chambers increase or decrease in volume at inlet and then increase or decrease as they push out fluid at discharge

A

Increase volume at inlet, decrease at discharge

27
Q

How is fluid ported in and out of a radial piston pump

A

Through check valves in the Pistons

28
Q

What’s more efficient gear pump or piston pump

A

Piston pump

29
Q

Does an internal gear pump have the same number of teeth as the outside or should it have fewer

A

Fewer

30
Q

Why is a very close fit necessary between the teeth the casing on a gear pump.

A

To prevent bypassing back to inlet

31
Q

Which is the best pump to use if you have to locate it above the surface of the fluid: an in-line axial pump or a bent axis

A

Bent axis

32
Q

What is the purpose of a bias piston in a in line axis piston pump

A

To move the swash play to the maximum angle

33
Q

What provides more force to keep the vane in a vane pump against the cam ring

A

intra-vane

Cartage style -= high efficiency, high pressure

34
Q

Positive seals and non positive seals differ how

A

Positive seals are designed for zero leakage

Non positive seals allow controlled leakage

35
Q

How do static and dynamic seals differ

A

Static is for stationary parts

Dynamic Is for moving parts

36
Q

What 2 seal types are used to deal against the case pressure in a hydraulic pump or motor

A

High pressure lip seals or mechanical seals

37
Q

What seals are used for pressures over 150 psi

A

Mechanical seals

38
Q

What are 3 accumulator applications

A

Compensate for lag
Emergency power
Makeup fluid for leakage

39
Q

Four types of piston motors

A

Inline axial piston
Bent piston
Radial piston
Cam type radial piston

40
Q

Maximum angle in an inline axial motor has what speed and what torque

A

Low speed

High toque
