Interaction of Components

The diagram show the sequences in a basic hydraulic circuit in simplified form - the actuation

and spring return of the final control element (4/2-way valve), the advance and return of the

drive component (double acting cylinder) and the opening and closing of the pressure relief

valve.

HYDRAULIC BASIC SYSTEM

Structure of a Hydraulic System

This simplified block diagram shows the division of hydraulic systems into a signal control

section and a hydraulic power section. This signal control section is used to activate the valves

in the power control section.

Page 4: Pneumatic c5

Hydraulic Power Section

The diagram of the hydraulic power section is complemented in this case by a circuit diagram to

allow correlation of the various function groups; the power supply section contains the hydraulic

pump and drive motor and the components for the preparation of the hydraulic fluid. The energy

control section consists of the various valves used to provide control and regulate the flow rate,

pressure and direction of the hydraulic fluid. This drive section consists of cylinders or hydraulic

motors, depending on the application in question.

PRESSURE

Hydraulic pressure is generated when a flowing fluid meets resistance which is generally related

to the load that is being moved.

Page 5: Pneumatic c5

A force is applied via the lever to produce system pressure (p = F/A or F = p x A).

If more force is applied, the system pressure rises until the load moves, if the load remains

constant the pressure will increase no further. The load can therefore be moved if the necessary

pressure is generated. The speed at which the load moves will be dependent upon the volume

of fluid which is fed to the load cylinder. For example, as the mold is opening or closing, the

pressure generated in the system represents the resistance of the toggle lever to movement.

Adding to that resistance would be the weight (i.e. mass) of the mold and toggle lever and also

the friction between the toggle lever bushings and the tie bars. When the two mold halves touch

and the toggle begins to straighten out, the increasing pressure

represents that which is required to stretch the tie bars in the generation of a particular clamp

force. Similarly when injecting material into the mold the pressure generated in the injection

system represents the resistance of the injection ram to movement. Adding to that resistance

would be the mass of the injection ram and screw, the friction between all moving components

and the resistance of the plastic melt as it is forced quickly into the mold cavity.

Pressure Control

In order to safeguard the system, pressure relief valves are installed. The valves serve to limit

the amount of pressure that can develop in the hydraulic system since the various hydraulic

components are expensive and they are subject to pressure limitations before failure occurs.

One characteristic of fluid flow that is important to note here is that flow occurs always in the

path of least resistance. Pressure would continue to rise in the circuit consistent with the load

being

moved. The pressure relief valve is always set to allow flow to travel through the relief valve well

before pressure rises above safe levels and causes damage to the system and its components.

In other words, the path of least resistance is employed here to safeguard the system after the

other movements have taken place.

Pressure Override

An extremely important concept to understand about pressure relief valves is their pressure

override characteristics. Pressure override is the difference between the pressure at which the

relief valve just starts to crack open and the pressure at the full open position. For direct acting

pressure relief valves this pressure differential can be as high as 30% and proportional pressure

relief valves range from

10% - 20%.

Pressure Intensification

Another important concept to keep in mind is that of pressure intensification. This law of

hydraulics is often forgotten when troubleshooting hydraulic circuits.

For example, if two pistons of different size are connected by a rod, the pressure existing on the

smaller area will always be greater. This principle also applies to the cap side and the rod side

of a normal double acting piston.

If P1 = 1,000 psi and A1 = 10 square inches, then F1 = 10,000 pounds of force.

If F1 = 10,000 pounds of force and if A2 = 5 square inches, then P2 = 2,000 psi.

Hydrostatic pressure

A. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure created above a certain level within a liquid as a

result of the weight of the liquid mass. Hydrostatic pressure is not dependent on the

shape of the vessel concerned but only on the height and density of the column of liquid.

B. Hydrostatic pressure can generally be ignored for the purpose of studying hydraulics

Page 8: Pneumatic c5

8

Pressure propagation

A. If a force F acts on an area A of an enclosed liquid, a pressure p is produced

which acts throughout the liquid (Pascal's Law).

B. Hydrostatic pressure has been ignored here. The term pressure propagation is

also used to mean the pulse velocity in liquids (approx. 1000 m/s).

Power transmission

A. If a force F_1 is applied to an area A_1 of a liquid, a pressure p results. If, as in this

case, the pressure acts on a larger surface A_2, then a larger counter-force F_2 must be

maintained. If A_2 is three times as large as A1, then F_2 will also be three times as

large as F_1.

B. Hydraulic power transmission is comparable to the mechanical law of levers.

Page 9: Pneumatic c5

Pressure transfer

A. The fluid pressure p_1 exerts a force F_1 on the surface A_1 which is transferred via the

piston rod to the small piston. The force F_1 thus acts on the surface A_2 and produces

the fluid pressure p2 . Since the piston area A_2 is smaller than the piston area A_1, the

pressure p_2 must be larger than the pressure p_1.

B. The pressure-transfer (pressure-intensification) effect is put to practical use in

pneumatic/hydraulic pressure intensifiers and also in purely hydraulic systems when

extremely high pressures are required which a pump cannot deliver.

Pressure transfer (2)

A. A pressure-transfer effect also occurs in conventional double acting cylinders with single

piston rod.

B. This effect also causes problems in hydraulics. If, for example, an exhaust flow control is

fitted to a differential cylinder for the advance stroke, a pressure- intensification effect

results in the piston-rod chamber.

FLOW CONTROL

Hydrodynamics

As well as understanding the concept of speed in hydraulics, it is also important to have some

insight into flow characteristics. For example, the drawing below shows that when oil is flowing

through different diameter pipes an equal volume flows in an equal unit of time. If that is true

and if the shaded quantity Q1 equals

the shaded quantity Q2, then velocity V2 must be greater than velocity V1.

As the diameter of the pipe decreases, the flow rate will increase. Specifically, if the pipe diameter

decreases by one half in the direction of oil flow, the cross sectional area will decrease by four times,

and visa versa. Oil flow velocity through different pipe sizes can be calculated using the formula:

The same gallons per minute will have to travel 4 times faster through the smaller pipe.

Page 11: Pneumatic c5

Types of flow

A. A distinction is made between laminar flow and turbulent flow. In the case of laminar

flow, the hydraulic fluid moves through the pipe in ordered cylindrical layers. If the flow

velocity of the hydraulic fluid rises above a critical speed, the fluid particles at the center

of the pipe break away to the side, and turbulence results.

B. Turbulent flow should be avoided in hydraulic circuits by ensuring they are adequate

sized.

One goal in the initial design of hydraulic power transmission systems is to encourage laminar

flow as much as possible since an increase in turbulence will increase flow resistance and

hydraulic losses as well.

Page 12: Pneumatic c5

12

Turbulent flow is wasteful in most hydraulic applications, it is desirable to have turbulence in the

oil flow as it travels through the heat exchanger for cooling purposes. If turbulence exists as the

oil flows through the heat exchanger, more of the oil molecules come into contact with the heat

exchanger cooling tubes and more efficient cooling is the result.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL

The drawing below shows a piston being extended, held stationary and then retracted, simply

by changing the position of a directional valve. Even though the drawing is simple in nature, it

still demonstrates the principle involved in directional control. In addition to simple directional

control valves, we also employ proportional directional control valves on some machines to

control the clamp opening and closing function.
