Hydraulic Pumps

Overview

product

Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). It generates flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by the load at the pump outlet. When a hydraulic pump operates, it creates a vacuum at the pump inlet, which forces liquid from the reservoir into the inlet line to the pump and by mechanical action delivers this liquid to the pump outlet and forces it into the hydraulic system. Hydrostatic pumps are positive displacement pumps while hydrodynamic pumps can be fixed displacement pumps, in which the displacement (flow through the pump per rotation of the pump) cannot be adjusted, or variable displacement pumps, which have a more complicated construction that allows the displacement to be adjusted. Hydrodynamic pumps are more frequent in day-to-day life. Hydrostatic pumps of various types all work on the principle of Pascal's law.

Hydraulic Valves

Overview

hydraulic-valves

A hydraulic valve properly directs the flow of a liquid medium, usually oil, through your hydraulic system. The direction of the oil flow is determined by the position of a spool. A hydraulic system can only function - as per requirements - by using valves. Thus, you should always look for the correct type of hydraulic valve to serve your intended purpose. The required size is determined by the maximum flow of the hydraulic system through the valve and the maximum system pressure

Directional Control Valves

Directional control valves can control the start, stop and change in direction of flow of a pressure medium (i.e. hydraulic oil). For this reason, they are also referred to as switching valves. Directional control valves are available as spool valves, poppet valves or rotary slide valves. Rotary slide valves, however, are no longer commonly used due to low operating pressure (up to 70 bar). Directional control valves without proportional control are referred to as switching valves.

Type of directional control valves:

  • 1. Directional poppet valves
  • 2. Directional spool valves
  • 3. Check and non-return valves
Pressure Control Valves

Every pressure control valve switches (or controls) at a predetermined pressure setting. The switching pressure is generally a variable setting on the valve itself. A change in position of the pressure control valve (i.e. open or closed) occurs either gradually (by control) or suddenly (by switch). Pressure shut-off valves and pressure sequence valves are hydraulic valves with a fixed throttle whereas relief and reducing valves are hydraulic valves with a variable throttle.

Type of pressure control valves:

  • 1. Pressure valves, relief function
  • 2. Pressure valves, reducing function
  • 3. Pressure valves, fixed throttle
Proportional Control Valves

Proportional hydraulic valves are able to control the opening to flow proportionally instead of gradually, as is the case for most standard hydraulic valves. The simplest type of proportional hydraulic valve is a variable throttle controlled by a manual lever. When your hydraulic application requires a very accurate control of the flow, hydraulic valves may be equipped with advanced control electronics with integrated measuring and feedback devices.

Type of proportional control valves:

  • 1. Proportional directional control valves
  • 2. Proportional pressure control valves
  • 3. Proportional flow control valves
Flow Control Valves

Flow control valves manage the flow by decreasing or increasing the opening at the throttling point. This helps to determine speed of movement for the hydraulic actuators. The simplest design for a flow control valve is a needle or longitudinal slot mounted in the pipeline and connected to a screw that adjusts the opening at the throttling point. These are called throttle valves due to the fixed throttle, which changes the actual flow through the valve at varying loads.

Type of flow control valves:

  • 1. Flow controls, pressure compensated valves
  • 2. Flow controls, throttle valve

Electronic Drive Controls

Overview

product

A hydraulic drive system is a quasi-hydrostatic drive or transmission system that uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to power hydraulic machinery. The term hydrostatic refers to the transfer of energy from pressure differences, not from the kinetic energy of the flow.

A hydraulic drive system consists of three parts: The generator (e.g. a hydraulic pump), driven by an electric motor or a combustion engine or a windmill; valves, filters, piping etc. (to guide and control the system); and the actuator (e.g. a hydraulic motor or hydraulic cylinder) to drive the machinery.

Hydraulic Hose-Pipe

Overview

product

A hydraulic hose is specifically designed to convey hydraulic fluid to or among hydraulic components, valves, actuators, and tools. It is typically flexible, often reinforced, and usually constructed with several layers of reinforcement since hydraulic systems frequently operate at high or very high pressures. Hydraulic hose is used in a variety of industrial hydraulic systems. Dimensions, performance specifications, construction options, and features are important parameters to consider when searching for hydraulic hose.

Important dimensions for the selection of hydraulic hose include the inside diameter, outside diameter, and minimum bend radius. Hydraulic hose sizes are denoted by the inside and outside diameter of the hose. The inside diameter refers to the inside of the hose or liner. The outside diameter is often a nominal specification for hoses of corrugated or pleated construction. Minimum bend radius is based on a combination of acceptable hose cross-section deformation and mechanical bending limit of any reinforcement.

Trusted Brands


Hydraulic Cylinders

Types

product
Single-Acting Cylinder

This single-acting cylinder only has a head-end port and is operated hydraulically in one direction. When oil is pumped into a port, it pushes on a plunger, causing it to extend.

The return or retraction is effected by draining the hydraulic oil back into a reservoir. The plunger will fall, or return, because of the weight of a load or else induced by an additional mechanical force such as a spring.

Double-Acting Cylinder

The Double-Acting Cylinder must have ports at both the head and rod ends. The piston is moved by pumping oil into the head which moves the piston to extend a rod. Any oil in the rod end is pushed out into a reservoir. To retract the rod, the oil flow at both ends is reversed.

Nondifferential Cylinder

A nondifferential cylinder has a piston rod extending from each end. Thrust and speed are equal in both directions, provided that pressure and flow are stable.

Cushioned Cylinder

The cushioned cylinder is designed to slow an action and prevent shock loading at the end of a piston stroke. This cushion effect is created by building a limiting or metering device into the cylinder to restrict the flow at the outlet port which slows down the motion of the piston.

Hydraulic Filter & Accessories

Overview

product

Hydraulic filters protect your hydraulic system components from damage due to contamination of oils or other hydraulic fluid in use caused by particles. Every minute, approximately one million particles larger than 1 micron (0.001 mm or 1 μm) enter a hydraulic system. These particles can cause damage to hydraulic system components because hydraulic oil is easily contaminated. Thus maintaining a good hydraulic filtration system will increase hydraulic component lifetime.

Hydraulic MS Tank

Overview

product

The hydraulic reservoir is a container for holding the fluid required to supply the system, including a reserve to cover any losses from minor leakage and evaporation. The reservoir can be designed to provide space for fluid expansion, permit air entrained in the fluid to escape, and to help cool the fluid.

Filling reservoirs to the top during servicing leaves no space for expansion. Most reservoirs are designed with the rim at the filler neck below the top of the reservoir to prevent overfilling. Some means of checking the fluid level is usually provided on a reservoir. This may be a glass or plastic sight gauge, a tube, or a dipstick. Hydraulic reservoirs are either vented to the atmosphere or closed to the atmosphere and pressurized.

Trusted Brands


Hydraulic MS Tank

Types

product
Vented Reservoir:

A vented reservoir is one that is open to atmospheric pressure through a vent line. Because atmospheric pressure and gravity are the forces which cause the fluid to flow to the pump, a vented reservoir is mounted at the highest point in the hydraulic system. Air is drawn into and exhausted from the reservoir through a vent line. A filter is usually installed in the vent line to prevent foreign material from being taken into the system.

Pressurized Reservoir:

A pressurized reservoir is sealed from the atmosphere. This reservoir is pressurized either by engine bleed air or by hydraulic pressure produced within the hydraulic system itself. Pressurized reservoirs are used on aircraft intended for high altitude flight, where atmospheric pressure is not enough to cause fluid flow to the pump.

In reservoirs pressurized by engine bleed air, the amount of air pressure is determined by an air pressure regulator–usually 10 to 15 pounds per square inch (psi) gauge.

This reservoir, or tank as it is referred to by Boeing-Vertol, is constructed of a metal housing with two internal pistons, one fixed and the other a floating piston which slides along a central tube. Attached to the floating piston is a larger tube that projects through the forward end of the tank and is calibrated to indicate FULL and REFILL fluid levels for ramp-up and ramp-down positions.

Hydraulic Accumulator

Overview

product

A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure that is applied by an external source of mechanical energy. The external source can be an engine, a spring, a raised weight, or a compressed gas. An accumulator enables a hydraulic system to cope with extremes of demand using a less powerful pump, to respond more quickly to a temporary demand, and to smooth out pulsations. It is a type of energy storage device.

Wherever hydraulic tasks need to be performed, hydraulic accumulators can help. They are versatile, make your machine more convenient to use, secure your hydraulic system and are used to increase the energy efficiency of hydraulic systems and for many other tasks.

Example applications include:

  • 1. Energy storage,
  • 2. Emergency functions and safety functions
  • 3. Damping of vibrations, pulsations (pulsation dampers) and shocks (shock absorbers) and noise (silencers)
  • 4. Suction flow stabilisation
  • 5. chassis suspension

Hydraulic Motor

Overview

product

A hydraulic motor is a mechanical actuator that converts hydraulic pressure and flow into torque and angular displacement (rotation). The hydraulic motor is the rotary counterpart of the hydraulic cylinder as a linear actuator. Most broadly, the category of devices called hydraulic motors has sometimes included those that run on hydropower (namely, water engines and water motors) but in today's terminology the name usually refers more specifically to motors that use hydraulic fluid as part of closed hydraulic circuits in modern hydraulic machinery.

Hydraulic Motor

Types

product
1 Radial Piston Motors

Radial piston motors are available in two basic types: Pistons pushing inward, and pistons pushing outward.

i. Pistons pushing inward

The crankshaft type (e.g. Staffa or SAI hydraulic motors) with a single cam and the pistons pushing inwards is basically an old design but is one which has extremely high starting torque characteristics. They are available in displacements from 40 cc/rev up to about 50 litres/rev but can sometimes be limited in power output. Crankshaft type radial piston motors are capable of running at "creep" speeds and some can run seamlessly up to 1500 rpm whilst offering virtually constant output torque characteristics. This makes them still the most versatile design.

The single-cam-type radial piston motor exists in many different designs itself. Usually the difference lies in the way the fluid is distributed to the different pistons or cylinders, and also the design of the cylinders themselves. Some motors have pistons attached to the cam using rods (much like in an internal combustion engine), while others employ floating "shoes", and even spherical contact telescopic cylinders like the Parker Denison Calzoni type. Each design has its own set of pros and cons, such as freewheeling ability, high volumetric efficiency, high reliability and so on.

ii. Pistons pushing outward

Multi-lobe cam ring types (e.g. Black Bruin, Rexroth, Hägglunds Drives, Poclain, Rotary Power or Eaton Hydre-MAC type) have a cam ring with multiple lobes and the piston rollers push outward against the cam ring. This produces a very smooth output with high starting torque but they are often limited in the upper speed range. This type of motor is available in a very wide range from about 1 litre/rev to 250 litres/rev. These motors are particularly good on low speed applications and can develop very high power.

2. Gerotor Motors Or Orbital Motors

The gerotor motor is in essence a rotor with N-1 teeth, rotating off center in a rotor/stator with N teeth. Pressurized fluid is guided into the assembly using a (usually) axially placed plate-type distributor valve. Several different designs exist, such as the Geroller (internal or external rollers) and Nichols motors. Typically, the Gerotor motors are low-to-medium speed and medium-to-high torque.

3. Vane motors

A vane motor consists of a housing with an eccentric bore, in which runs a rotor with vanes in it that slide in and out. The force differential created by the unbalanced force of the pressurized fluid on the vanes causes the rotor to spin in one direction. A critical element in vane motor design is how the vane tips are machined at the contact point between vane tip and motor housing. Several types of "lip" designs are used, and the main objective is to provide a tight seal between the inside of the motor housing and the vane, and at the same time to minimize wear and metal-to-metal contact.

4. Gear motors

A gear motor (external gear) consists of two gears, the driven gear (attached to the output shaft by way of a key, etc.) and the idler gear. High pressure oil is ported into one side of the gears, where it flows around the periphery of the gears, between the gear tips and the wall housings in which it resides, to the outlet port. The gears then mesh, not allowing the oil from the outlet side to flow back to the inlet side. For lubrication, the gear motor uses a small amount of oil from the pressurized side of the gears, bleeds this through the (typically) hydrodynamic bearings, and vents the same oil either to the low pressure side of the gears, or through a dedicated drain port on the motor housing, which is usually connected to a line that vents the motor's case pressure to the system's reservoir. An especially positive attribute of the gear motor is that catastrophic breakdown is less common than in most other types of hydraulic motors. This is because the gears gradually wear down the housing and/or main bushings, reducing the volumetric efficiency of the motor gradually until it is all but useless. This often happens long before wear causes the unit to seize or break down.
