Fluid power test 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| limited rotation motors | provide output motion over a finite angle |
| limited rotation actuator | 1. rotary output over a finite angle 2. high instantaneous torque 3. torque capacity |
| hydraulic motors def | can rotate continuously and have same basic configuration as pumps |
| hydraulic motor examples | gear motor, vane motor, piston motors (inline/axial) |
| _____ requires _____ torque than it theoretically should | pump, greater |
| ______ outputs _____ torque than it theoretically should, due to frictional losses | motor, less |
| hydraulic transmission | system consisting of hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor, and valves & pipes must have prime mover like an electric motor |
| hydraulic transmission advantages | 1. infinitley variable speed and torque 2. bi directional 3. high hp to weight ratio 4. can stall without damage 5. low inertia of rotating members 6. flexibility & simplicity of design |
| valves | mechanical devices that control flow in any gas or liquid system |
| valve primary control functions | 1. start, stop, and direct flow 2. regulate or throttle flow 3. prevent backflow 4. regulate pressure 5. prevent excessive pressure |
| valve elements (3) | movable elements to obstruct or open flow Ball, poppet, spool |
| Directional control valves | provide the means by which fluid energy is transmitted to various parts of the system |
| DCV functions (7) | 1. Activate or close a circuit 2. reverse direction of flow 3. isolate circuit branches 4. divert or divide flow 5. deactivate a circuit 6. combine flow streams 7. redirect flow from 1 branch to other branches |
| Valve symbols (3) | basic building blocks for preparing circuit drawings pictorial, cutaway, graphical |
| DCV widely used descriptive terms | way, position, port |
| DCV symbol letter P | pump or pressure port |
| DCV symbol letter T | tank or reservoir port |
| DCV symbol letter x/y | pilot pressure ports |
| DCV symbol letter V | vent port |
| DCV symbol letter D | drain port |
| DCV symbol letter A/B | actuators, work, or motor ports |
