| 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 |
| fluid power advantages | 1. ease and accuracy of control 2. multiplication of force 3. constant force or torque (constant regardless of speed changes) 4. simplicity, safety, economy (fewer moving parts) |
| fluid power disadvantages | 1. oils are messy 2. leakage 3. lines can burst 4. prolonged exposure to loud noises 5. fire |
| hydraulic system 3 main components | valve, pump, cylinder |
| actuators | convert fluid energy |
| hydraulic system components | Tank (Reservoir) Pump to force liquid through the system Power source to drive pump (prime mover) Actuators to convert fluid energy Valves to control fluid Piping |
| pneumatic system components | air tank to store compressed air compressor electric motor to drive compressor valves to control air actuators to convert fluid power piping |
| hydraulic advantage | very accurate and precise |
| liquids | very rigid medium, nearly incompressible, volume doesn't change much w/ pressure |
| air/gasses | spongy due to compressibility of air very compressible, volume decreases as pressure increases |
| pneumatic | less expensive to build and operate |
| fluids | liquids and gasses |
| air advantages | fire resistant not messy environmentally friendly inexpensive can store some energy |
| air disadvantages | can't be used where accurate positioning or rigid holding is required sluggish corrosive-water and oxygen doesn't self lube dangerous at high pressure |
| most important part of hydraulic or pneumatic system | fluid/ medium |
| fluid 4 basic functions | transmit power, lube surfaces, dissipate heat, seal gaps |
| fluids tests for when to replace | 1. increased acidity(color change) 2. polymerization and additive breakdown (lubricity) 3. foaming test for viscosity, water content, foreign object contamination |
| hydraulic system | energy transfer system |
| hydraulic versality | variable speed reversibility overload protection high hp to weight immunity to damage under stalled conditions |
| 1. newtons first law 2. newtons second law 3. newtons third law | 1. a force is required to change motion of a body 2. acceleration of body is promotional to magnitude of force and inversely proportional to mass 3. equal and opposite forces between bodies |
| Pascals law | Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions |
| steady flow pipeline | weight flow is the same for all cross sections of a pipe |
| motor | converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy |
| displacement | volume of fluid delivered per revolution of the pump shaft rotation |
| cavitation | when pressure in a chamber is lowered below vapor pressure of fluid which causes bubbles that rapidly collapse at high pressure |
| 3 most important hydraulic system components | valve pump and cylinder |
| actuator | used to store fluid 1. meet peak demands of power 2. smooth out pressure surges 3. provide emergency power sources |
