हाइड्रोलिक प्रतीक विज्ञान 304 – कंडीशनिंग और मॉनिटरिंग
हाइड्रोलिक प्रतीकों का उपयोग एक पूरी हाइड्रोलिक प्रणाली के कामकाज को विस्तार से समझाने में आपकी सहायता के लिए व्यापक रूप से किया जाना चाहिए। हाइड्रोलिक मशीनें केवल पंप, वाल्व और एक्चुएटर्स तक ही सीमित नहीं होतीं, भले ही ये अक्सर मुख्य घटक होते हैं। लेकिन यदि इन्हें उपयुक्त कंडीशनिंग और मॉनिटरिंग उपकरण न मिलें,…
What types of high-pressure vane pumps are available?
By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor When someone mentions a high-pressure hydraulic pump, the vane pump is not likely to come to mind. Vane pumps are often limited to 2,000 psi or less because of the physical limitations of their inherent design. Vanes must reciprocate inside slots while pushing on the cam ring, and when fully […]
Troubleshooting Challenge: Stuttering cylinder can’t maintain rolling mill position
Contributed by Robert Sheaf • Founder of CFC Industrial Training I was recently called by a customer who attended one of our advanced hydraulic training sessions. He was having a problem with an old rolling mill. The servo-controlled cylinder was oscillating that held position on one of the rolls. This cylinder helped maintain the thickness…

Hunting ghosts in your machines with sonar
Air is a troublesome contaminant in hydraulic fluid. Once it enters and becomes entrained, it’s a pain to remove. If it goes undetected or unmitigated, it can delay system response, decrease performance, degrade the fluid, and wreak havoc on hydraulic pumps. “It’s not like the bubbles that rise to the surface in your glass of […]
