Hydraulic circuit
Hydraulic circuit consist group of components to perform useful task
pumps Actuators Control valves and others
DCV used - ___ way, ___ position Actuation mode extension Spring offset mode - retraction
Spring Centered DCV Neutral positions is adjusted by springs DCV type - ____way ____ position
At Spring centered position Cylinder is hydraulically locked At position 1 Extension At position 2 - Retraction
Worked example
A double acting cylinder is hooked up to reciprocate. The relief valve setting is 70 bars. The piston area is 0.016 m2 and the rod area is 0.0045 m2. If the pump flow is 0.0013m3/s, find the cylinder speed and load-carrying capacity for the Extending stroke and Retracting stroke Extending Stroke Cylinder speed, Vp,ext = Qp / AP = ____ 0.0813 m / s Load carrying capacity, Fload = P x AP = ____ 112 kN Retraction Stroke Cylinder speed, Vp,ext = Qp / (AP - Ar) = ____ 0.113 m / s Load carrying capacity, Fload = P x (AP - Ar) = ____ 80.5kN
Regenerative circuit
To Speed up the extension speed of double acting hydraulic cylinder. Retraction at regular speed as double acting cylinder Total flow during extension = pump flow + flow from rod end of cylinder (regenerative flow)
On solving
Ratio of speeds
Worked example-1
A double acting cylinder is hooked up in the regenerative circuit. The relief valve setting is 70 bars. The piston area is 0.016 m2 and the rod area is 0.0045 m2. If the pump flow is 0.0013m3/ s, find the cylinder speed and load- carrying capacity for the Extending stroke and Retracting stroke. Extending Stroke:
Retracting Stroke
Worked example - 2
A double acting cylinder is hooked up in the regenerative circuit. The relief valve setting is 105 bars and the pump flow is 0.0016 m3 / s. If the regenerative and retracting speed are equal to 0.25 m/ s, find the piston and rod area and also load- carrying capacity for the Extending stroke and Retracting stroke.
