Fluid Power System The pressure fluids to move one place to another. Hydraulic System (Hydour-Water in Greek word ) (High accuracy) Examples: Space, defense, machine tool applications, agriculture and automobiles. Pneumatic System ( Pneuma - Air in Greek word) (Less accuracy) Examples: pneumatic hammers, drills, hoists, cranes.
Fluid power system and Hydraulic System Oil Hydraulic System
SERVICE PRPERTIES OF HYDRAULIC FLUIDS Viscosity -To affect the running fluid Depends on, -Temperature -Thickness - Pressure Density = Viscosity Temperature +++ Viscosity --- Pressure +++ Viscosity --- So we chose fluid is to reduced the above failures
2) Viscosity Index -Temperature Changes to Change the Viscosity -Integer (0 to 100) To choose the High viscosity index fluid.
3) Oxidation stability Chemical Oil + AIR(OXYGEN) Oxidation Reaction Oxidation Inhibitors Or Additives … Ex: Silicon Polymers, Nitrogen Components etc. 4) De-emulsibility -Reduce the Forming in hydraulic fluid Separate the forming and hydraulic fluid
5) Lubricity -Lubricate the all engine parts during function of system. -avoid friction loss by using high lubricity having fluid will choose, 6) Rust Prevention - Rust is an iron oxide , usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture Ex: Sprayer Paints etc.
7) Toxicity -Poison character or Silly Character. - This behaviour defiantly affect the human being.. 8) Cloud point - Cloud point refers to the temperature below which wax in oil . 9) Flash and Fire Point At the flash point , the vapor may cease to burn when the ignition source is removed. The flash point is not to be confused with the auto ignition temperature (which does not require an ignition source) or with the fire point (the temperature at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited).
HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATOR A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source. The external source can be a spring , a raised weight , or a compressed gas .
Usage of Accumulator Leakage compensation Shock absorber Secondary power sources Emergency power sources Thermal expansion compensator Temporary storage receiver etc. Leakage compensation
SHOCK ABSORBER A shock absorber (in reality, a shock "damper") is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. SECONDARY POWER SOURCE Supply to extra fluid to hydraulic system. EMERGENCY SOURCE During Emergency time to supply hydraulic fluid from accumulator. If any fault in pump.

PRESSURE INTENSIFIER Pascal's law - pressure applied anywhere to a body of fluid causes a force to be transmitted equally in all directions; the force acts at right angles to any surface in contact with the fluid; "the hydraulic press is an application of Pascal's law " Pascal's law of fluid pressures. PASCAL'S LAW
A hydraulic intensifier is a device which is used to increase the intensity of pressure of any hydraulic fluid or water, with the help of the hydraulic energy available from a huge quantity of water or hydraulic fluid at a low pressure. These devices are very important in the case of hydraulic machines, mainly hydraulic presses, which require water or hydraulic fluid at very high pressure which cannot be obtained from the main supply directly. There are three main parts in the hydraulic intensifiers to be noted. They are Fixed ram, Hollow inverted sliding cylinder, Fixed inverted cylinder. Application : Moulding Machine, Riveting machine, Spot Welding Machine and Hydraulic Presses.
Fluid Power Pumps Pump: -Important system in hydraulic system -Motor helps to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy -Pump helps to convert mechanical energy into fluid flow energy. Classification of pumps: Gear pump External Gear Pump Vane pump Radial pump Internal Gear Pump External Gear Pump: Mostly Used in hydraulic system. Equal two meshing gear fixed inside of casing. Merits: 1)Simple in construction 2) Comfortable for all area 3)High pressure (Apporx. 150bar) 4) Low cost.
Internal Gear Pump: Here Spur and internal gear meshing with help of crescent seal and casing Merits: 1)Simple in construction 2) Comfortable for all area 3) Low cost. Demerits: 1) Less pressure (70bar) 2) Less Capacity Vane Pump: Here Casing, Shaft, rotor and eccentricity. Merits: Oil Leakage less and High Volumetric efficiency 95% and medium cost. Demerits: 1) Less pressure 2) Less Capacity
Radial Gear Pump Fixed pintle , cylinder block and reaction ring. Merits: 1) Smooth Operation 2) Pump Output high 3) high volumetric efficiency (98%) 4) High Pressure (Above 500bar) Demerits : 1) Difficult Construction and High cost.
