2.2 Practice Assignment Hydraulic Motors and Circuits Chapter 7 Exercise 7-2 - What are the main advantages of gear motors? Gear motors have simple designs. It consists of two gears-one is driven gear while the other is idler gear. Exercise 7-6 - For a hydraulic motor, define volumetric, mechanical, and overall efficiency. The volumetric efficiency of a hydraulic motor is defined as the ratio of the theoretical flow rate a motor should consume to the actual flow rate consumed by the motor. Mechanical efficiency of a hydraulic motor is defined as the ratio of the actual torque delivered by the motor to the theoretical torque that the motor should deliver. Overall efficiency of a hydraulic motor is defined as the ratio of the power delivered by the motor to the actual power delivered to motor. Exercise 7-9 - Why does a hydraulic motor deliver less torque than it should theoretically? Due to friction in a hydraulic motor the actual torque delivered by the motor is less than the theoretical torque that the motor should deliver. Chapter 8 Exercise 8-3 - How does a pilot check valve differ from a simple check valve? The check valve allows free flow in one direction and prevents flow in other directions. In pilot check the pilot piston is attached to the threaded popper stem by a nut. Exercise 8-6 - Name three ways in which directional control valves may be actuated. Mechanically Actuated valves, Pilot-Actuated valves, Solenoid-Actuated valves Exercise 8-11 - What is a pressure-reducing valve? What is its purpose? This valve reduces the overall pressure in a hydraulic system. The actuation of the motor takes place through downstream pressure and is likely to close when the pressure reaches the valve setting if the downstream pressure falls below the valve setting.
Chapter 9 Exercise 9-1 – When analyzing or designing a hydraulic circuit, what are three important considerations? Performance of the required operation, Operation efficiency, Operation safety Exercise 9-4 – What is a fail-safe circuit? fail-safe circuit is a circuit which consists of components that prevent damage or injury to both equipment and operators. Exercise 9-19 C, this is because the returning line of cylinder 1 is not connected to cylinder 2, so the fluid will not flow in the cylinder 2lines. Exercise 9-21- For the circuit of Figure 9-32, give the sequence of operation of cylinders 1 and 2 when the pump is turned on. Assume both cylinders and initially fully retracted. When the pressure is applied to the system through the pump, the left directional control valve is in its left position which causes the pressure to go to the opposite end of cylinder 1. Cylinder 1 being already retracted will cause the system pressure to build and activation of the pressure relief valve causing the pilot actuation of the left position the right directional control valve, the cylinder 2 being already retracted will cause the pilot actuation of the right position of the left directional control valve, this will cause the pressure to flow to the blank end of the cylinder 1 causing cylinder 1 to extend first. Exercise 9-22 – What safety feature does the circuit of Figure 9-33 possess in addition to the pressure relief valve? The additional safety feature of this circuit is the damage prevention of the main directional control valve from the excess pressure through the addition of a safety directional control valve. Chapter 13 Exercise 13-1 - Name three reasons for considering the use of pneumatics instead of hydraulics.
The pneumatic system is clean compared to a hydraulic system, The pneumatic system involves rapid movement of parts as in cylinder and piston. In a hydraulic system, fluid used is very viscous and takes time to move, The pneumatic system costs less than a hydraulic one.
