Q

Slip in type cartridge valves:

A

slip into standardized cavities in manifold block

34
Q

Proportional Valves get their name because:

A

spool can be infinitely positioned, proportional.

35
Q

Coil current proportional valves:

A

moderately precise

36
Q

Dead Band

A

distance armature moves before spool functions

37
Q

Gain formulae is

A

output volts divided by input volts

38
Q

A subplate is located where stacking valves meet:

A

hydraulic lines, or conductors

39
Q

An amp card controls:

A

electrical input to the solenoid

40
Q

Dither is a:

A

high frequency AC signal superimposed onto the valves DC signal

41
Q

DC current gives more torque and it is

A

easier to use

42
Q

DC signal tells us where the valve:

A

is (it’s position in a proportional valve)

43
Q

Histerisis definition

A

dependency of a condition on the previous condition

44
Q

Ramp Functions

A

increase or decrease voltage to the solenoid, this way we can eliminate shocks from fast stops and starts.

45
Q

Non feed back control:

A

used for smooth control of actuator speed.

46
Q

Non feed back control offers:

A

moderate accuracy

47
Q

Internal feed back senses where the:

A

Directional Control Valve is

48
Q

Closed outer loop reads where the:

A

actuator is

49
Q

Closed inner loop tells us:

A

where the spool is

50
Q

Open loop

A

non feedback

51
Q

A type of proportional relief valve that uses a simple spindle to close the opening of a small nozzle:

A

Nozzle Type

52
Q

A nozzle type relief valve is set by:

A

electronic pressure, not hydraulic

53
Q

When the armature is pulled in on a nozzle type relief valve, the spindle moves in and allows:

A

oil to return to tank when over pressure limit

54
Q

plate type

A

when hydraulic force overcomes electrical force the oil will flow

55
Q

poppet type LVDT

A

proportional spool type valves have bleed screws

56
Q

servo valve

A

has a feedback wire for torque motor

57
Q

Mechanical servo valves

A

essentially a force multiplier

58
Q

Flapper nozzle type

A

two stage, infinite positioning, servo spool for dead band

59
Q

Jet pipe Type

A

Pressure at each end of the valve spool, signal to torque motor changes jet pipre and more fluid flows to one side than the other.

60
Q

single stage servo valve

A

direct, moves spool one way or the other

61
Q

Filtration and servo valves

A

located in valve and before the valve

62
Q

pumps convert

A

mechanical energy into hydraulic energy

63
Q

To have a positive flow to pumps at all times:

A

they must not suck air

64
Q

reservoirs are pressurized on mobile equipment for two reasons:

A

to keep dirt out, and so pump does not need to suck air

65
Q

hydrodynamic pumps

A

non positive seal, primarily for fluid transfer

66
Q

on a positive displacement pump, if it is shut off:

A

no fluid flows from discharge to suction

67
Q

Positive Displacement Pumps are unloaded by:

A

pressure relief valves

68

A

cavitation and ruin the pump

69
Q

A

pressure differential

70

71
Q

Pressure Gauges require

A

calibration

72
Q

Q

volumetric efficiency of the pump is affected by:

A

pressure

74
Q

Vane Pumps are rated at what RPM?

A

1200rpm

75
Q

If we keep the pump RPM at the engineered spec then we know pump:

A

displacement is correct

76
Q

four types of piston pumps:

A

in-line, bent axis, rotary, radial

77
Q

oil holes in a piston pump allow oil to flow to the:

A

low pressure side and prevent metal to metal contact, this is why a case drain is necessary

78
Q

All piston pumps have a:

A

squash plate

79
Q

If there is a hump on the pump casting then the:

A

squash plate can be moved

80

If the flow remains constant but we change the swash plate angle it changes the:

A

displacement

81
Q

High Pressure on secondary piston (yoke) moves the:
