Application of 3/2 DCV For Controlling A Single-Acting Cylinder

The document discusses directional control valves, hydraulic circuits, and accumulator systems. It includes: 1) Drawings and explanations of 2/2, 3/2, and 4/3 directional control valves. 2) A drawing and explanation of a 3/2 directional control valve controlling a single-acting cylinder. 3) Calculations to determine component sizes for a hydraulic press using two pumps - including piston diameter, pump flow rates, motor capacity, and power required using a single pump. 4) A design for a car crushing system comparing the power required without and with an accumulator.

3 A high–low circuit uses a low-pressure pump of 1.4 N/mm2 and a high-pressure pump of
12.6 N/mm2. The press contains eight cylinders and the total load of the press is 5600
kN. The length of cylinder is 200 mm whereas the punching stroke is only for 6 mm. The
time for lowering is 0.05 s and the time for pressure build-up and pressing is 0.03 s.
Determine the following:

(a) The piston diameter of cylinder.


(b) Pump flow rates.
(c) Total motor capacity.
(d) If a single pump of 12.6 N/mm2 is used, find the kW capacity required. ( 8 marks )

4. Design a car crushing system. The crushing force required is such that a 15 cm diameter
cylinder is required at a working pressure of 126.5 kg/cm2. Time for crushing is about 10 s
and the stroke required to flatten the car is 254 cm. Compare the power required by the
circuit without and with accumulator.
Accumulator details:
It is a gas-loaded accumulator
Time taken for charging =5 mm
Initial pressure of charging (pre-charged),p1 = 85 kg/cm2
Charged pressure of accumulator,p2= 210 kg/cm2
Minimum pressure for crushing, p3= 126.5 kg/cm2 ( 8 marks )
