Basic Fluid Power ComponentsReservoir / Receiver
– Stores fluidFluid Conductors
– Pipe, tube, or hose that allows for flow between components
Pump / Compressor– Converts mechanical power to fluid power
Valve– Controls direction and amount of flow
Actuators– Converts fluid power to mechanical power

Fluid Power PhysicsEnergy
The ability to do work
Energy TransferFrom prime mover, or input source, to an actuator, or output device

Fluid Power PhysicsWork
Force multiplied by distanceMeasured in foot-pounds
Example:How much work is completed by moving a 1000 lb force 2 ft?2000 foot-pounds of work

Fluid Power PhysicsPower
The rate of doing workWork over time in seconds
Example:How many units of power are needed to lift a 1000 pound force 2 feet in 2 seconds?
1000 units of power (1000lb x 2ft) / 2 s

Fluid Power PrinciplesHorsepower
Term used to give relative meaning for measuring power
Unit measurement of energy
Hydraulic horsepower is expressed as:
flow( gpm) pressure( psi)Horsepower= 1714( constant)

Fluid Power PrinciplesHeat
Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, although it can change forms.
Energy not transferred to work takes the form of heat energy.
Calculate the wasted horsepower in the system.

Fluid Power PrinciplesTorque
Twisting forceforce x distanceMeasured in foot-poundsCalculate the torque produced when 10 lb of force is applied to a 1 ft long wrench.

Fluid Power PrinciplesTorque
The generated work of a hydraulic or pneumatic motor Motor rpm at a given torque specifies energy usage or horsepower requirement

Fluid Power PrinciplesFlow
Makes actuator operation possible
To extend the cylinder, flow must be directed into port B.
Retracted cylinder

Fluid Power PrinciplesFlow
Makes actuator operation possible
Flow is directed into Port B and cylinder is extended.
To retract the cylinder, flow must be directed into what port?

Fluid Power PrinciplesFlow
Makes actuator operation possible
To retract the cylinder, flow must be directed into what port?
The cylinder retracts when flow is directed into Port A.

Fluid Power PrinciplesRate of Flow
Determines actuator speedMeasured in gallons per minute (gpm)Generated by a pump
![Page 18: Fluid Power Introduction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d6c550346895dbab7cc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fluid Power PrinciplesWith a Given Flow Rate
Actuator volume displacement directly affects actuator speedThe less volume to displace, the faster the actuator Will the actuator illustrated below travel the same speed as it retracts and extends if a constant flow rate is maintained? No. The actuator will travel faster as it
retracts due to less volume caused by the actuator shaft.

Fluid Power PrinciplesPressure
The resistance to flowPumps produce flow, not pressure
- If you restrict the flow from the pump, pressure will result.
All points of resistance in series within a system contribute to total system pressure, including long runs of pipe, elbows, etc.

Fluid Power PrinciplesPascal’s Law
Relationship between force, pressure, and area
force=pressure areaforcepressure=area
forcearea=pressure

Fluid Power PrinciplesPascal’s Law
Pressure applied on a confined fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished in all directions and acts with equal force on equal areas and at right angles to them.How much force is exerted on every square inch of the container wall illustrated on the right if 10 lb of force is applied to the one inch stopper? 10 lb
What is the total resulting force acting on the bottom of the container? 200 lb
