Hydraulics 1 Flashcards
(135 cards)
Advantages of hydraulic systems
weight action maintenance and efficient
Disadvantages of hydraulics systems
Leakage and contamination
applied to a liquid causes liquid to expand and exert pressure
heat
transmitted undiminished in all directions
pressure
3 basic principles
force pressure and working area
exerted in pounds
force
exerted in pounds per square inch
pressure
expressed in square inches
working area
pressure exerted on an enclosed liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions and acts with equal force on all areas
pascal’s law
MARCH
Manual bypass valve Actuating cylinder Reservoir Check valves Hand pump
located in the return line stops fluid when closed
Manual bypass valve
receives fluid pressure and transforms linear mechanical motion
Actuating cylinder
tank that holds the supply of fluid
reservoir
unit creates flow of fluid
hand pump
allows fluid flow in one direction only
check valves
the presence of undesirable foreign matter that may or may not be visible to the unaided eye
hydraulic fluid contamination
to achieve and maintain a satisfactory level of purity in hydraulic systems thereby providing for the safe efficient operation of naval aircraft and support equipment
hydraulic fluid contamination control program
particulate contamination may result from internal wear and failure of system components, maintenance malpractice, or poorly maintained support equipment
contamination sources
2 classifications of contamination
particulate and fluid
principle causes if wear in hydraulic pumps, actuators, valve, and servo valves
particulate contamination
3 parts of particulate contamination
organic solids
metallic solids
inorganic solids
4 types of fluid contamination
air
water
solvent
foreign
may be introduced through improper maintenance or a result of system design. can cause fire inside
air
adversely affect by dissolved, emulsified, or free water. separates from fluid and collects in filter bowls, and other critical locations
water
