QUESTION:
What is a hydraulic system ?
ANSWER:
A hydraulic system is a means of using a
pressurised fluid to transmit power between the
place where the power is generated and the point
where it is used
ADVANTAGES OF HYDRAULICS
- Variable Speed
Most electric motors run at a constant speed. It is also desirable to operate an engine at
a constant speed. The actuator (Liner or rotary) of a hydraulic system, however, can be
driven from high speeds to reduced speeds by varying the pump delivery or using a
flow control valve.
- Reversiable
Few prime movers are reversible. Those that are reversiable usually must be slowed to
a complete stop before reversing them. A hydraulic actuator can be reversed instantly
while in full motion without damage.
- Overload Protection
The pressure relief valve in a hydraulic system protects it from overload damage. When
the load exceeds the valve setting, pump delivery is directed to a tank. The resultis a
definite limit to torque or force output.
ADVANTAGES OF HYDRAULICS
- Small Packages
Hydraulic components, because of their high speed and pressure capabilities, can
provide high power output with very small weight and size.
- Can Be Stalled
Stalling an electric motor will cause damage or blow a fuse. Likewise, engines cannot
be stalled without the necessity for restarting. A hydraulic actuator, though, can be
stalled without damage when overload, and will start up immediately when the load is
reduced. During stall, the relief valve simply divert delivery from the pump to the tank.
PASCAL LAW
Pascal Law: Pressure applied on a confined fluid is
transmitted undiminished in all direction, and acts
with equal force on equal areas, and at right angles
to them.
2. A 10 lb. force is appliedto the
stopper with a surface area of
one square inch
1. The bottle is filled

with liquid, which is
3. This results in 10 lb of force not compressible
on every square inch of
surface area in the container
4. If the bottom has an area of

20 sq. in. and each square
inch is pushed on by 10lbs.
of force, the entire bottom
of the container receives
200 lbs push

Calculation:
1. System Flow Requirement

= 10000 cm3 / min

2. System Pressure Requirement

= (10 lpm x 200 bar) / 600

4.Hydraulic Pump Displacement
Displacement = Flow / Electric Shaft Speed

= 10 lpm / 1450 rpm
