Fundamentals of Hydraulic Systems

This document provides an introduction to hydraulics and its basic components. It discusses how hydraulics uses liquid, usually oil, to transmit power from one location to another. The key components of a hydraulic system include a hydraulic pump to generate pressure, hydraulic fluid (usually oil), control valves to direct the fluid, and hydraulic motors or cylinders to do work by creating linear or rotational motion. Common applications of hydraulics include construction equipment, mining, agriculture, and more. The document also provides examples of different types of control valves and cylinders used in hydraulic systems.

Introduction to fluid power
 Fluid power is a term
describing hydraulics and pneumatics technologi
es.
 Both technologies use a fluid (liquid or gas) to
transmit power from one location to another.
 hydraulics, the fluid is a liquid (usually oil),
 pneumatics uses a gas (usually compressed air).
 Both are forms of power transmission, which is
the technology of converting power to a more
useable form and distributing it to where it is
needed.
 The common methods of power transmission
are electrical, mechanical, and fluid power.
Application of fluid power system

 Machine Tools
 Military & Aerospace
 Other Applications
Types of fluid systems
 Fluid transport system
◦ Transport of water from reservoir using pipe
lines
◦ Transport of oil in pipe to two countries.
 Fluid power system
◦ Oil used in equipments to acquire desire
movement.
◦ Compressed air in pneumatics for crane
movements
Basic components of Hydraulic System

Directional control valves

 Check valve
 Pilot operated check valve
 Three-way and four-way valves
 Manually-actuated valve
 Pilot actuated valve
 Solenoid actuated valve
 Center flow path configuration

Three-way valves
Four-way valves
Pressure control valves

 Pressure relief valve


 Compound pressure relief valve
 Pressure-reducing valve
Pressure relief valve
Flow control valve/ Needle valve

Restrictor needle valve


Cylinder/Motor
 Piston/cylinder used if desired motion is
linear
◦ Hydraulic pressure moves piston & ram
◦ Load is connected to ram
Cylinder
Piston RAM
Hydraulic Motor
 Motor used if desired
motion is rotary
