Hydraulics

Due to its immense power, hydraulics are used for operating various machinery, vehicles, aircraft, ships and equipment. The data and engineering revolving around hydraulics is so vast, its hard to comprehend.

How do you calculate the Volumetric efficiency of a hydraulic motor?

Dear friend,

Drive the motor through a pump. Supply oil to achieve a given rpm and pressure.

Some oil will come out of case drain port and some from the out put port of the motor.

Measure the out put flow of the motor and input flow to the motor.

out put by input will be the volumetric efficiency ( the loss is case drain )

( alternatively, case drain and output flow fof the motor can be measured, then output flow divided by the sum of output flow and case drain flow is the efficiency )

Is the 1996 Mazda B3000 hydraulic clutch self adjusting?

No this clutch needs to be bench bled prior to instalation.

How do you disconnect the hydraulic clutch line on a 93 ford ranger?

special tool pushes the white clip in and line should pop off, something after being on there so long they actually seize and you have no choice but to cut and replace

What will happen if hydraulic fluid is put into the diesel tank?

A small amount of hydraulic oil mixed with a full tank of diesel fuel, nothing.

How can you tell if your hydraulic clutch is goin?

Bleed system and then see if pumping clutch is necessary for proper operation. Keep in mind that there is a master cylinder and slave cylinder.

How do you change abs hydraulic unit on 1997 ford ranger?

Disconnect the brake lines and wiring harness from it and put the new one in. YOU will need to bleed the brakes after your done. Make sure to disconect the battery of the truck before you unplug the wiring harness

How does a hydraulic machine work?

A piece of hydraulic machinery uses a liquid (usually an oil) under pressure to transmit energy. Lets consider a simple system such as the one that operates the clutch on my car. There are two cylinders with a piston in each and a small tube running between them. When I step on the clutch pedal, I force the piston on one of the cylinders (known as the master cylinder) deeper into the cylinder pushing fluid under pressure into the other cylinder. The fluid exerts pressure on the other cylinder (the slave cylinder) and develops a force which pushes on the clutch. The relationship between force and pressure is:

Force = Area x Pressure

Which can be rearranged with algebra to

Pressure = Force / Area

This, by this is way, is why we measure pressure as in units such as pounds (force) per square inch (area).

If we make the master cylinder smaller than the slave cylinder, say 1 square inch and 2 square inchs respectively, and assume that the pressures are equal, we find that

Master cylinder force = 1/2 Slave cylinder force

So we have to apply half as much force to the master cylinder (at the pedel) as we want from the slave cylinder (the clutch) and I don't have to put as much force on the pedel to operate the clutch. The force amplification is very similar to a lever (such as a pair of plyers) but has the added benifit that the master and slave cylinders can be located anywhere. The tube has many twists and turns, each one of which would require joints if a mechanical system were used. Like a lever, and I must move the master cylinder twice as far at the slave cylinder travels.

Brakes in the car operate similarly, but the tube coming from the master cylinder(s) are branched into several pistons at the wheels. Flexable tubing is used so that the wheels can move freely when the car goes over bumps.

Machines such as backhoes and buldozers use similar priniples. However, in this case, the fluid is kept at constant pressure continually by a pump connected to the engine and sent to the slave cylinders when the operator opens a valve. This allows very large forces to be developed at the slave cylinder.

Pnematic systems are similar to hydrolics, by use gases (typically air) rather than liquid. Since gas can be compressed considerable, a lot of air can be forced into a tank and the energy used later. This make pnematics suitable for systems where large forces and speed are required at the same type such as jackhammers, nailguns, or paintball guns.

What hydraulic and engine oil should I use in a 1977 John Deere 2640 just bought it used and want to service it?

You should be able to order the service manuals from a John Deere dealer. It will give you all the service data, not just oils.

What hydraulic fluid filter for a 742B bobcat?

It should be 6598903 which crosses over to a Napa Filter 1482

Where to add hydraulic fluid on a case D45 tractor?

In the half valve kanooter barring. Unless it is a four barring year 2000-2011, you can put it through the top of the piston.

How do you check hydraulic fluid level on a farmall super a tractor?

I have a 1948 Super A Cultivison with hydraulics including an IH 1000 loader that was added in 1960. When I check the fluid level I lower the front bucket all the way and make sure the rear arms are in the down position. I then slowly loosen the filler plug on the left side and see if any fluid leaks out. If no fluid leaks out I remove the plug and then add fluid until it does come out the filler plug. This might not be the correct way to do it but it works for me and I've been using this tractor for over 40 years to harvest hay, haul logs, dig post holes and drag a back blade without any problems. I use NAPA R&O Hydraulic fluid and once in a while I'll dump in a pint of "TRANS-X" hydraulic system treatment. Good luck-

How do you bleed the hydraulic clutch on a ford ka?

I think it depends on the model (i have a 1999 KA) but i had a problem where my clutch pedal did nothing and went completely to the floor and i could not select or change gear, after searching through the Internet and various forums the most common answer i found was that the 'bleed nipple' was in the gearbox itself and that its advisable to replace the whole clutch and gear box, a lot of work, time and likely a lot of money.

The first thing you should check is that there is enough hydraulic fluid in the reservoir (i used run of the mill brake fluid), this is the pod second on the right, make sure the fluid level is between min and max and pump the clutch a few times to get the fluid through the system as the clutch pedal also acts as a self adjusting mechanism for the hydraulics. try that first.

To 'bleed' the hydraulics you simply need to remove the air filter and underneath you will see the 'nipple', bleed it and be sure to catch any fluid that runs as it is very toxic (also i advise wearing gloves for this). re-tighten nipple and pump clutch a few more times and if this works for you as it did for me you will hopefully find that your clutch problem is fixed.

Be aware that you may have a very small leak in the pipes somewhere and so you should check your fluid levels weekly.

I'm not a mechanic, i don't know that this will work for you but it did for me so give it a shot.

Good luck. AB
