The benefits of using hydraulic equipment
Fewer parts have been used in this equipment, which is based on hydraulics, compared to other systems. Also, it is easily possible to have linear or vertical movements in any section and point. Because this magnitude transfer takes place with the help of fluid flow, not mechanical parts. In this equipment, we are able to achieve a very high force by introducing a small amount of force. In addition, because the friction in hydraulic equipment is low and they are cheap in terms of cost, they have high work efficiency. These advantages of hydraulic systems can be summarized as follows: 1- Simple design of this system and its equipment 2- The possibility of increasing the force 3- The simplicity of the equipment and the high level of accuracy in them 4- High and desirable flexibility in hydraulic equipment 5- Their high work efficiency 6- High reliability of these products
What are the different types of hydraulic equipment?
The tools and equipments that are designed and built based on the hydraulic system have a wide range and variety. In this section, we will introduce some of these manufactured and hydraulic equipments:
1- Hydraulic jacks:
These jacks, which are often cylindrical, work with a relatively simple mechanism. The cylinders of these jacks contain oil. Then force is applied to the oil with pressure. This pressure will cause the non-compressible oil to transfer this force to a cylinder larger than the previous cylinder. So if, for example, a car is placed on a cylinder, this pressure transferred from the oil causes it to move. This action mechanism is also used in cranes. In fact, these hydraulic equipment are capable of doing many tough jobs. The important thing in between is that the small pressure exerted on the small piston caused the big piston to move and as a result the desired displacement takes place.
2- Hydraulic pumps:
These pumps are actually one of the most important equipments made in hydraulic systems. They have a high position in industries and are considered the heart of hydraulic systems. The way these hydraulic pumps work is that they are able to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. For this reason, these pumps are actually tools that convert electrical or mechanical power into hydraulic power and then use it.
3- Hydro motor:
Hydraulic motors, which are called hydromotors for short. In fact, they are a type of mechanical actuator that is able to create rotational movements for mechanical systems. The way of working in this engine is that it receives the fluid that is compressed by the pump and moved with the help of a pump. Then, through it, it will create a rotary motion for the mechanical system. In fact, it has a function similar to a hydraulic jack, except that the movement created will not be linear. This rotational movement will happen around the shaft axis in the engine. These engines are divided into two different groups:
- continuous shaft rotation
- Limited shaft drive
- These motors are considered as less used hydraulic equipment. In industries, the continuous type of these hydraulic motors are generally used.
4- Hydraulic tanks:
Valves have many functions. Hydraulic valves are responsible for starting the movement of fluids and stopping and directing this flow. This equipment consists of components such as: Poips The spools connections are formed Of course, in addition to the hydraulic system, they can also be used with the help of hydraulic systems.
