Hydraulic equipment is a device that uses hydraulic pressure to convert or transmit power into motive force.
Specifically, a hydraulic pump is driven by an electric motor or an engine, and the pressure obtained from the pump is used to operate a hydraulic cylinder or a hydraulic motor. Hydraulic equipment provides a large output with a small input, saves space, and has excellent durability against high temperatures.
Because of these features, hydraulic systems are used in a wide range of products, such as large vehicles and industrial machinery, and are products that support industry.
Hydraulic equipment is used in a wide range of applications, from vehicles to machine tools.
In the vehicle industry, hydraulic systems are mainly used in large vehicles. This is because they can perform tasks that require large amounts of power with small amounts of power.
Hydraulic equipment is also utilized in many manufacturing fields.
Hydraulic equipment utilizes Pascal's Principle, which states that a stationary fluid transmits the same pressure in any direction. Pascal's principle means that when the cross-sectional area of a pipe is different, the force required to maintain pressure is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area.
As an example, the following case is explained.
In this case, the following forces are required to maintain the same pressure.
As described above, by utilizing Pascal's principle, a large output can be obtained with a small input. Hydraulic equipment is, of course, also utilized in automobile brakes and hydraulic jacks.
The mechanism of hydraulic equipment is as follows.
At this point, linear motion can be converted by the hydraulic cylinder and rotational motion can be converted by the hydraulic motor. The oil drained by the hydraulic equipment returns to the oil tank. And when energy is needed again, it is discharged again from the hydraulic pump.
Hydraulic equipment is composed of the following three components, a hydraulic oil tank, pressure gauges and other auxiliary equipment, fittings, and hydraulic hoses.
In addition, there are four types of hydraulic pumps
The appeal of hydraulic equipment is that it can be used in a wide range of environments, including confined spaces and high temperatures.
If hydraulic equipment is to be installed, oil maintenance is essential. To prevent accidents, it is necessary to prepare manuals on inspection frequency and methods.
