What are the basic design requirements for a simple hydraulic or pneumatic device?

-your device must use hydraulics to exert a large force, using minimal space.

- your hydraulic system must transmit motion smoothly.

-you must be able to operate your device with no breakage of parts.

How do you fill a dump truck hydraulic pump?

dumptruck hydraulic pump is filled from a separate tank installed on truck

it is either hanging off chassis rails on side,between dump bed and cab,or it is between rails under neath dump bed. if under dump bed,u can fill with a hose with funnel joined to hose, takes a while to do this . or if truck bed is not loaded you can raise bed with a crane or other machinery ,enuff to get at tank

How do you bleed a hydraulic floor jack?

Loosen the handle to release the jack. remove them fill plug. Pump handle up and down through the full range on motion. Replace plug and test. If it sill does to work satisfactorily, repeat procedure.

What is meant by Hydraulic smooth pipe?

The original answer is incorrect (at least in the North American meaning of the term 'Hydraulically smooth'. Hydraulically smooth mean that the roughness on the wall of the pipe is less than 1/2 of the thickness of the viscous sublayer of the turbulent flow. The viscous sublayer is (well) less than 1% of the pipe diameter. The viscous sublayer thickness is calculated as:

t=5D*(8^0.5)/((f^0/5)*Re

where t is the thickness, D is the Diameter, f is the Darcy Friction Factor (found from the Moody Diagram or the Colebrook Equation, and Re is the Reynolds number, based upon pipe diameter and the average flow velocity in the pipe.

Re = u*D/v

u is average velocity

v is kinematic viscosity

As a last comment on the old response, it is in fact describing the critical flow rate for transition to turbulence (i.e. the flow rate for Re ~= 2300). The exact value for transition to turbulence is dicey to determine, and does, as the answer says, depend on the roughness and disturbances. Further, as the equation for Reynolds number shows, the transition to turbulence also depends on diameter. Laminar (not turbulent) flow is often called 'smooth', and the study of fluid motion is hydraulics, so it's easy to get the meaning of 'hydraulically smooth', mixed up with 'smooth (laminar) flow'

*****Old (incorrect) response*****

The flow rate inside a pipe that will produce laminar(No turbulence) flow. The physical smoothness plays a part but need not be as smooth as glass. A concrete, cast iron , copper and glass pipe can all produce laminar flow. The flow rate at which turbulence begins (no longer hydraulically smooth) will depend upon the surface texture where rougher surfaces will cause turbulence to occur at lower flow rates compared to a smoother material. Raise the flow rate enough and your will eventually get turbulence.

So to have hydraulically smooth pipes you would need to spec no only the material but diameter as well to ensure laminar flow up to the max expected flow rate. Also any turbulence inducing fittings would also be included. For example a bar grate in a storm water system could be installed such that hydraulically smooth flow is maintained for low flow rates. (The water ca easily pass around the bars). During the high flows a storm would produce the bar grate would cause a restriction and you would no longer have smooth flow.

How loud are hydraulic boom lifts?

If you think about it the hydraulics flowing in the lines are relatively quiet. the piston lifting or lowering the boom is just as quiet...so where is the noise ? it comes from the pump and the prime mover for the pump..If its a diesel engine its loud.. If its steam driven ,somewhere there is a lot of fuel being burned and that location is loud...If its run by an electric motor and Even if its just in the bypass mode the fluid screaming through the control valves will be loud...So now ,,,Going back to your question ..the boom is practically silent but the prime mover makes the whole thing very loud indeed. 90-100db at times...

What is a CEW pipe?

A CEW pipe stands for a cold drawn electrically wielded pipe. Pipes can be made in a number of ways. One such method is to make pipes from sheet steel. The sheet is cut to the required width and rolled along the length. The ends are to be joined so that is forms a pipe. When they are welded using resistance then they are called ERW pipes and when they are electrically welded they are cold drawn electrically welded pipes or CEW pipes.

How does a hydraulic spool valve work?

== == == == Spool dynamics include fluid motion actuated by one or more tangential forces, i.e, gears, and thus achieve force as a function of mass acceleration. Mass of small gas engine flywheel spins, creating torque, applied through a coupler into a hydraulic motor, oh no, more gears, only in reverse centripital motion. Vector forve applied in the Z direction produces torque that we all view as "the thingy moves" in laymans terms. As fluid speed increases, the puport functions only as a momentary divider of said spool. Once the area gradient w is selected, the minimum value of the spool diameter is determined because ports may be at most full periphery of the spool. The fluid then spools through the value hydraulically actuating the valve. The cylinder fills with fluid and extends much like the phalic symbol of a man. A man with many spools is a man hard stopped.

Typical passage in spool valves. It is possible to obtain a design relation between if and rtm from a consideration of flow saturation and valve.

Single-stage servovalves consist of a torque motor which is directly attached to and positions a spool valve. Because torque motors have limited power ...or do they, I'll won't mention it, it may confuse you terribly.

Note that two feedback loops are involved, and these are due to spool position feedback and to pressure feedback on the flapper. Because either loop could ...

With Kvp now known and selecting a suitable value for the spool actuation area Ar, we may use (7-82) %theta to determine the required flow gain of the pilot. Once angular momentum is initiated we then take the tangental derivative to achieve output. Big output.

Neglecting the flow force on the spool, cof -*• 0, and this equa- tion reduces. These equations can now be combined to form the block diagram. Spool valve dimensions are sized to satisfy load flow and pressure requirements. The flapper valve gain is determined from (7-100), and the other flapper ...

This backlash is due to slipping of the mechanical anchorages in the torque motor, but it is mainly due to friction between spool and sleeve. ...

This may amount to 0.0001 in. or so of main spool motion. The dither amplitude should not be so large that it is transmitted to the load by the servovalve ...

What does daylight of a hydraulic press machine mean?

When talking about hydraulic press machines, daylight means that there is a gap between the top and the bottom of the press when the top and bottom come together. This should not happen to ensure that proper pressure is achieved.

What is the major difference between a friction crane and a hydraulic crane?

A friction crane is an older model like an American 9210 who's boom controls are gear/ clutch driven. Engaging the clutch and throwing the gears requires a very stout frame and they typically have much stiffer booms and can tolerate a lot more abuse.... They are good for rough lifting operations like pulling pile or pile driving.

Hydraulic cranes are there modern counterparts who's boom is controlled by hydraulic pistons which have a much lighter, more delicate touch to the controls and are much better in "heavy lift" operations where you need precision movement.

Why the base of the dam is made wider?

The pressure of the water against the top of the dam wall, is much less than the pressure exerted against the bottom of the dam wall. The width of a dam wall increases to compensate for the increased water pressures at the lower level.

Why are the first few shifts into 1st and 2nd gear hard and grinding even with clean hydraulic clutch fluid?

The clutch is not being released all the way, or the clutch disk is damaged.- Or in cooler weather, you will have to delay the time that you change gears, as the transmission fluid's viscosity is thicker, and the blocker rings/sychronyzers take a little longer to allow a proper shift. If you have ATF in your tranny, then it wouldn't be a problem, but then you will have to start suspecting a bad clutch disk. OR OIL IN TRANSMISSION IS TOO THICK. SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM! DOES IT GET BETTER AFTER CAR GETS HOT? YEP THATS IT, TOO THICK!

What is Hydraulic power pack circuit with symbols?

what is the point from putting pump inside the tank not outside and there is a difficulties in repair time.

it is called flooded condition in which oil level kept above pump suction. there is no chance of entering air in system .Hydraulic system works smoothly.this system was being used in past .

Cannot get all the air out of the hydraulics after bleeding the clutch?

a mechanic can prssure bleed the clutch to remove air. usually this cannot be done by the home handyman. if that doesnt work, there is still a leak somewhere in system that is letting air in

vacuum bleeder -from the slave ,figugre out a way to unbolt the slave cylinder with fluid pipe installed tight already,it has to be disengage from the fork,then vacuum bleed it like you do brakes without a hassle,then install the cylinder.

Why are front brakes sticking after all hydraulics have been replaced from master cylinder down to calipers?

Several reasons. Your rotors could be warped. Its possible the proportioning valve isn't working correctly. Try a different type brake pad material. Make sure your wheel bearings are not too loose.

Answer

have you cleaned and lubed the caliper rails?

Answer -

One of the most overlooked tasks when performing brake maintenance is the floating pins that the caliper mounts to. Make sure they are clean and well lubricated.

Does a 1985 Toyota supra have a hydraulic clutch?

Yes. Most Toyota cars use hydraulic clutches. That is why you have to put fluid in the clutch reservour.
