PNA2 Flashcards
Why is an orb fitting preferable to as a tapper thread fitting
It causes less stress and distortion
Should you normally instal a cylinder with the ports at the top or the bottom
Why
Top
Allows for bleeding out after installation
Why is it important to align a cylinder to the load to which it is attached
To avoid wear on walls and on seals
What is the most costly result of leaks in a cylinder
Dirt and air
What is the operating principle of any hydraulic motor
Fluid pushes to turn the drive shaft
What does a decrease in mechanical in mechanical efficiency indicate
Increase in internal friction
What does a decrease in volumetric efficinecy indicate
Internal leakage
What type of gear motor requires timing
Orbiting gear
What is found in a vane motor that is not in a vane pump
Springs under the vanes
How can you change the displacement of a cam type radial piston motor
Change cam ring to a different size
By shutting off the cushion valve at the rod end of a cylinder with a load pulling what danger could occurs
Pressure intensification
What happends if you dont time a radial piston motor correctly
It runs in revers
Do pumps create pressure or flow?
Flow
Why are positive displacement pumps used for hydraulics
More acurate flow control
Does the volume of the pumping chamber expand or contract at the inlet
Expand at inlet
Three methods of changing the output of a pump
Built in flow controls
drive speed change
Variable displacement
