In a hydraulic system, pressure applied anywhere to a contained, incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. This course is an introduction to hydraulic systems and their uses. It covers hydraulic theory, common components, what mechanical advantage is, and how hydraulic fluid is contaminated.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
The following key questions are answered in this module:
What are the primary components of a basic hydraulic system? Basic hydraulic systems combine hydraulic fluid, a reservoir, a pump, fluid lines, valves, an actuator, and a filter.
What's the primary purpose of a hydraulic system? Hydraulics provide a compact and reliable means of creating great force with very little energy.
What is an accumulator used for? An accumulator stores and returns excess hydraulic fluid pressure to help minimize pressure changes in the system.
What is a 'Mechanical Advantage'? Mechanical advantage is the result of 'force manipulation'. In a hydraulic system, that means that any pressure applied to a volume of fluid is transmitted with an equal amount of force throughout the entire system.
What are some common causes of hydraulic fluid contamination? Hydraulic fluid can beome contaminated from system wear, poor or ineffective filtration, moisture buildup, or other types of environmental exposure.
