A shunt-type motor has low starting torque and good speed regulation.
The three states of matter are liquids, gases, and solids.
When any force causes a solid to change permanently, the solid is said to have passed the elastic limit.
The most outstanding characteristic of a liquid is its ability to conform to the shape of its container.
What usually produces flow in a pneudraulic system? Piston pushing the fluid.
Who was among the first to study the compressibility of gases? Boyle.
If 50 pounds per square inch (psi) of cylinder pressure acts on a 5-square-inch piston head, what will the resulting force be? 250 pounds.
When an 8-square-inch piston moves 5 inches within a cylinder, what volume of liquid is displaced? 40 cubic inches.
Turbulence affects fluid-flow in a hydraulic line by creating resistance and loss of energy.
A tube whose cross-section area is gradually reduced to a smaller size diameter is called a venturi.
The purposes of a hydraulic reservoir are to replenish fluid, allow for thermal expansion, and provide a means of bleeding air from the system.
The purpose of a standpipe in a reservoir is to reserve fluid for the emergency pump.
The amount of fluid a pump produces on each cycle or revolution is called its displacement.
When referring to hydraulic hand pumps, double-action means fluid-flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle.
Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because they have an integral compensator.
What provides for cooler operation in a Stratopower variable-volume hydraulic pump? Creep plates.
In the Stratopower variable-volume pump, what holds the pistons in contact with the cam plate? Nutating plate.
The purpose of a hydraulic motor is to convert hydraulic pressure into rotary mechanical motion.
How is the piston installed in an accumulator? Hollow end toward the air side of the accumulator.
The size of one micron is four millionths of an inch.
In a hydraulic system, the hydraulic manifold provides a location where the common fluid lines can come together.
The purpose of an actuating cylinder is to transform fluid pressure into a mechanical force.
What pneudraulic system component uses a single-acting actuating cylinder? Brake assembly.
What pneudraulic system component uses a double-acting balanced actuating cylinder? Nosewheel steering.
Which actuator type slows down piston travel when the piston nears either end of the cylinder? Internal snubber.
A manual poppet-type selector valve is in a working position when the camshaft is rotated to unseat one pressure poppet and one return poppet.
The major advantage of the manual slide-type hydraulic selector valve is its metering ability.
Normally, what positions hydraulic selector valves? Solenoid.
The advantage of an electrically controlled solenoid valve is its reduced weight.
The difference between a selector valve and a servo valve is that the servo valve controls fluid-flow.
Another name for a flapper check valve is gate check valve.
What is the purpose of the arrow on a check valve? Show the direction of free flow through the valve.
Which of these allows normal operating speed of a hydraulic actuator in one direction while limiting speed in the other direction? Restrictor check valve.
What are the basic units of a hydraulic hand pump system? Reservoir, pump, actuator, and manual shutoff valve
The reservoir supplies hydraulic fluid to a hand pump by gravity and the suction effect of the pump.
When pressure in a hydraulic system with a variable-volume pump increases, the fluid-flow decreases.
