Pascal’s Law
Pressure Exerted on a Confined Fluid is Transmitted Undiminished in All Directions and Acts With Equal Force on Equal Areas and at Right Angles to Them.
--Hydraulics is a means of power transmission
--Oil is the most commonly used medium because it serves as a lubricant and is practically non-compressible (it will compress approximately 1/2 of a 1 percent per 1000 PSI).
--Weight of oil varies with viscosity, but averages between 55 to 55 lbs per cubic foot. (at 100 degrees F).
NOTE: A cubic foot of oil is 1728 Cu.In (12x12x12). A gallon is 231 Cu.In., so a Cubic Foot of oil is equivalent to 7.48 Gallons.
--A liquid is pushed, NOT DRAWN, into a pump. Atmospheric pressure equals 14.7 PSI at sea level.
--Oil takes the course (path) of least resistance.

Application Principles
1 lb (.45kg) Force
1 sq in (.65cm2) Piston Area
10 lbs (4.5kg)
10 sq in (6.5cm2) Piston Area
This slide illustrates one of the basic principles of hydraulics;
LIQUIDS TRANSMIT APPLIED PRESSURE EQUALLY IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
BUILDS:
1. When a one pound force is applied to this handle and the area of the piston is one square inch, with the confined fluid, what PSI pressure will be produced? Note that this pressure is exerted in every direction
2. With a 10 square in piston, how much weight will this system lift?
This principle is what allows us to multiple our work efforts. With one lb of down pressure, we are able to lift 10 lbs.
--Pressure is caused by a resistance to flow. In this case the 10 lb weight.
Point out that resistance to flow is what causes pressure. In this example, if there were a 100 lb weight on the right side (in place of the 10 lb weight), how much pressure would be required to lift it. (10 PSI).

25. Types of Hydraulic Systems
Open Center
Closed Center
The control valve that regulates the flow from the pump
determines if system is open or closed.
Do not confuse Hydraulics with the “Closed Loop” of the
Power Train. (Hydro)

26. Closed Center Hydraulics Open Center Flow in Neutral
4/1/2017
Closed Center Hydraulics
Open Center Flow in Neutral
Trapped Oil
Open Center Valve
Hydraulic flow continually moves through the system because the hydraulic pump is constantly pumping fluid. The valve is open to return in neutral to allow the fluid to circulate back to the reservoir.
Oil is drawn out of the reservoir because atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) pushes it through the lines into the pump. 26

30. Pumps

31. Pump Inefficiency
Leakage: you get less flow from a pump than simple theory suggests.
Increases with larger pressure difference
Friction: it takes some torque to turn a pump even if there is no pressure rise
Is more of a factor at low pressures

32. Efficiency of pumps & motors
Em – mechanical efficiency < 1 due to friction, flow resistance
Ev – volumetric efficiency < 1 due to leakage
Eo =overall efficiency = Em * Ev
Eo = Power out/power in

Speed ratio determined by sprocket teeth or belt sheave diameter ratio

49. FIRST GEAR

50. FIRST GEAR First gear speeds … if … Input shaft: 1000 rpm
Main countershaft: 1000 (22/61) = 360 rpm
Ratio = input speed/output speed = 1000/360 = 2.78
Ratio = output teeth/input teeth = 61/22 = 2.78
Secondary countershaft: 360 rpm (41/42) = 351 rpm
Output shaft: 351 rpm (14/45) = 109 rpm
RATIO: input speed/output speed = 1000/109 = 9.2
Product of output teeth/input teeth = (61/22)(42/41)(45/14) = 9.2

Php = Tft-lbNrpm/5252

54. V I R Electricity Voltage = Current * Resistance
Vvolts = Iamps * Rohms
Power = voltage times current
PWatts = Vvolts*Iamps V I R
Ohm’s Law expresses the relationship between the current (I), the voltage (E), and the resistance (R) in a circuit. Ohm’s law can be expressed in three different ways, and can be applied to the entire circuit or to any part of the circuit. WHEN ANY TWO FACTORS ARE KNOWN, THE THIRD UNKNOWN FACTOR CAN BE CALCULATED FROM OHM’S LAW.
Virtually no one refers to “Electromotive Force” anymore. Voltage is the MEASURE of the difference in POTENTIAL between two points. The potential is the electromotive force, the unit of measure is the volt.
The unit of measure for resistance is the OHM.

55. Three Types of Circuits
Series
Same current, voltage divided
Parallel
Same voltage, current divided
Series / Parallel
1. A good example of a series circuit is the “old time” Christmas tree lights where if one bulb burned out, none of the bulbs would light. Of course this was because when there is only one path for current to travel and that path is cut off (bulb filament burns out), there is no longer a complete path, current can’t flow and nothing works.
Series circuits are low amps, high resistance.
2. Parallel circuits offer multiple paths for the current to travel each one offering a complete path from positive to negative. To calculate resistance with two 10 ohm resistors in parallel
resistance value * resistance value (10 x 10 = 100)
resistance value + resistance value ( = 20) 100/20 = 5 ohms
Parallel circuits are high amps, low resistance
3. Series / Parallel circuits are a combination of the two resulting in resisters in series as well has parallel. + -
12 v.

56. Example 12 V DC problem
A 12 V DC solenoid a hydraulic valve has a 5 amp fuse in its circuit. Q1: What resistance would you expect to measure as you troubleshoot its condition? Q2: How much electrical power does it consume?

57. Example 12 V DC problem
Q1: Identify specifications for a relay of a 12 V DC lighting circuit on a mobile machine if the circuit has four 60W lamps. Q2: Would the lamps be wired in series or parallel?
