Why is it a disadvantage for hydraulic systems to have flexible tubes?
Wiki User

If the hoses ("tubes") expand, the pressure available at the working device will be lower, reducing the force available. Also, if the hoses are moving around because they are flexible, they are more likely to get worn or damaged.

∙ 11y agoIn an assembly in which the power cylinder(s) and pumps are on a single, rigid frame, flexible hoses compensates for strains deflecting the machine's structure between pump and power cylinder.
Where the cylinders are on an articulated assembly such as the arm of an excavator, the flexible hoses are necessary to cope with the travels of the various parts of the machine relative to each other.
Such movements can be accomodated with swivel joints between rigid pipes but these are more complicated to make and fit, and relatively less reliable, than simple flexibles.

What are the elements of hydraulic systems?
They consist of the hydraulic pressurizing fluid, a prime mover I.e. A pump to pressurize the fluid, transmission pipes, and actuators eg: telescopic hydraulic tubes, to convert pressure energy to mechanical energy
What is the difference between pneumatic elevator and hydraulic elevator?
Pneumatic elevators work on air pressure (similar to a bank's drive through suction tubes) and hydraulic elevators work on oil/water pressure.
What is the diffrence between tube and pipe?
Tube and pipe are both used for conveying liquids or gases under pressure. They differ in how they are sized and their rigidity. A conduit is mainly used to protect and route electrical wiring.
How do you decide when to use pneumatic or hydraulic power?
when high power transmission is involved then hydraulics is the best option this because there are hydraulic fluid available to suit the various pressure levels. liquids have almost zero compressibility. in pneumatic system air is the working fluid, too high pressure could compress the air to such an extent to liquify it causing the tubes to crystallize and burst it. air is highly compressible and hence power loss should also be accounted for the compressed air so only low power systems possible here eg: pneumatic door openers .
How many vacuum tubes are in the Univac I computer?
It used 5200 vacuum tubes.

What is a pinch cock?
A clamp used on flexible tubes to regulate or stop the flow of liquid through it.
What hydraulic pump generates the pressure to force hydraulic fluid through 100 km of tubes?
Believe it or not, it's an adult human heart
What are the benefits of using Finned Tubes in HVAC systems?
Finned Tubes enhance heat transfer efficiency, reducing energy consumption in HVAC systems.
Can you break your vas deferens tubes?
The vas deverens tubes are extremely flexible . . . they won't break unless someone tears your testicles off.
What hydraulic pump generates the pressure to force hydraulic fluid through 100 000 km of tubes?
Believe it or not, it's an adult human heart
Can a baby survive in your tubes?
No. The tubes are not flexible and are unable to be housed there. If it is fertilized there, it will result in a miscarriage most likely. If not, it can cause serious complications for both the mother and the baby.
What two body systems share tubes?
circulatory and digestive
Are there home theater systems available that use vacuum tubes instead of transistors?
yes, and vac tubes are the most efficient
How do PVC Coated Copper Tubes benefit plumbing and HVAC systems?
PVC Coated Copper Tubes provide corrosion protection and insulation, enhancing longevity and efficiency in plumbing and HVAC systems.
What is the difference between pneumatic elevator and hydraulic elevator?
Pneumatic elevators work on air pressure (similar to a bank's drive through suction tubes) and hydraulic elevators work on oil/water pressure.
What machines use pneumatic tube systems?
A variety of automation systems use pneumatic tubes to move material via puffs of air. Bank systems still use them. In the Denver Airport, large pneumatic tubes move aircraft parts around the terminals.
